Chapter 586 House Arrest
Bailey received a call from the asylum, informing her that Rhonda had regained consciousness. They then asked for
her instructions on how to handle the woman.
However, with a pile of pressing matters on her plate, she had no time to concern herself with Rhonda's fate. She
instructed the asylum to keep Rhonda locked up to prevent any escape attempts.
To be confined to a mental institution day in and day out and have to endure the cold stares of caregivers while
surrounded by a throng of lunatics... This was perhaps the cruelest form of punishment in the world.
No blood was shed, yet it inflicted a kind of torture that left one wishing for death.
Bailey had wanted this effect when she ordered the doctors to cure Rhonda.
That woman deserved to die.
But to let her die so easily would have been too merciful. Hence, Bailey devised this method to torment her.
She had always maintained that she was no saint; one could get away with crossing her once or twice, but to do it
three or four times...
Unfortunately for them, she wasn't their mother, and there was no reason for her to put up with them.
When Zeke brought Zayron back to the medical base, it was already the next morning.
After a night of Felicity's condition worsening, things stabilized somewhat after daybreak, which greatly relieved
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtBailey.
Regardless of whether Felicity could wake up, preserving her life was the most important thing right now. Bailey
refused to believe that she couldn't cure the old lady with her medical skills.
In the adjacent room, Bailey rubbed her forehead while listening to Zayron's report.
When she learned that Scarlett had orchestrated the catastrophic car accident that caused so many casualties, she
gripped the glass in her hand so hard it broke.
The shards cut into her flesh, and soon blood flowed from her palm.
Zeke chided her gently, “Why are you torturing yourself over someone else's wrongful act?”
Bailey lowered her head, speaking in a cold tone. “I'm not torturing myself; I'm venting my anger. Anyway, forget
about it. I'm fine. I can apply some medicine later. Since we couldn't extract information on the true mastermind
behind the scenes from those moles, we can't let our guard down yet. We still have a tough battle ahead of us.”
Zeke fell silent for a moment before asking, “So, how do you plan to deal with Scarlett? She is Raiden's sister, after
all. If her involvement in the massive traffic accident were exposed, she could face imprisonment or even worse—”
However, Bailey interrupted him with a wave of her hand. “So what? From the moment she decided to kill me using
this method, it was inevitable that she would pay a painful price for her foolish actions. Raiden isn't stupid, so he
should have already realized that his sister is behind it, but he didn't call me, which speaks volumes about his
intentions. He must be planning on letting me handle it.”
Zeke nodded. “Okay, as long as you can weigh the pros and cons, that's fine. I'm not asking you to forgive her. I'm
just concerned that you'll feel conflicted due to your friendship with Raiden. After all, that man has helped you so
much.”
“Zeke, right is right, and wrong is wrong. If someone has made a mistake, they should be punished, shouldn't they?
If the line between right and wrong is blurred, and the culprit can escape punishment, then how terrible would this
world be?”
At this point, Bailey took a deep breath and continued through gritted teeth, “I won't be lenient. In the past, I spared
her multiple times for Raiden's sake, but this time, with five dead and twelve injured, she can't escape from her
punishment. I'll send her to prison myself. As for whether the Fletcher family will abuse their power and use their
influence to get her out, that's not within my considerations. However, I will reveal her crimes to the public so that
even the Fletcher family can't cover things up.”
“Okay, do what you think is right. I promise that no one will threaten and hurt you. You've had a long day and night,
so go rest for a while. Don't be too hard on yourself, or else I'll knock you out and take you back to the Shurmer
family. Then you can stop worrying about the affairs of the Luther family.”
“No.” Bailey quickly lay down on the bed and closed her eyes obediently. “I'll sleep. Don't take me back.”
This brother of hers could be really ruthless and would do anything. If she didn't listen to him, he would really knock
her out and take her away.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmThere was no way she could leave at a time like this.
Scarlett was scared. She had planned to escape back to Dellmoor early in the morning.
As long as she returned to the Fletcher family, she would be safe because she didn't believe her parents would
abandon her.
Even if things were exposed, her parents would protect her.
But before she could even leave the hotel, she was stopped by several black-clad bodyguards.
“What are you doing? Do you know who I am? How dare you stop me? Are you seeking death?” Scarlett exclaimed.
One of the bodyguards nodded and said, “Ms. Scarlett, we were sent by Mr. Raiden to guard you. Until he gives the
green light, you cannot leave this hotel. Please go back.”
Guard me? What does that mean?
She immediately looked angry and gritted her teeth, saying, “I'm the daughter of the Fletcher family and known as
Lady Scarlett of Chanaea. Who dares to stop me? Are you not afraid that I will chop off your heads?”
“Please cooperate with us. Mr. Raiden has instructed us to keep you here until your suspicion is cleared.'“
Scarlett's face turned pale for a moment as she took a few steps back unsteadily.
What does Raiden mean by this? Is he planning to put me under house arrest?
Once it's confirmed that I had ordered for the major car accident to happen, is he planning to send me to court and
uphold justice even if it means sacrificing family ties?
