Chapter 644 Reap What You Sow
Artemis gave her the side-eye and curled his lips into a half-smile.
“Do you have a grudge against that woman? It seems like you can't wait for her to die. What's the matter? Did
something unpleasant happen between the two of you?”
Yvette shuddered, and her heart tightened.
She couldn't figure out why he would ask such a question, but upon reflection, she realized her actions had indeed
been quite obvious. Did he figure something out?
After a moment of silence, she replied, “Leader, you must be joking. I stay in Tarragon's headquarters all year
round, so how could I possibly interact with the head of the Saviors?
“I'm considered one of your subordinates now. In addition, I was the daughter of Tarragon's previous leader.
Everyone in the organization would address me as “Your Royal Highness” whenever they saw me. I grew up in
Tarragon since I was little, so that is my home. Now, the Saviors are invading Tarragon's territory and threatening
the home I've lived in for many years. Therefore, isn't it normal for me to be hostile toward the leader of the
Saviors?”
Artemis averted his gaze. A calculating glint flashed across his eyes as he uttered nonchalantly, “Your father
should've left you with quite some power. We both know about this, even though no one says it aloud. This is not
something that can be concealed. If you really want to help me with my troubles, you can dispatch those forces to
deal with Bailey. I don't recommend you overstep the bounds. It'll be considered a great contribution if you resolve
our current predicament. In that case, I can fulfill any of your wishes.”
He was extending her an offer, gradually luring her to make a move.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtOnly after she took action could he eliminate all her forces in one fell swoop, remove all the obstacles, and revamp
Tarragon.
He needed to eradicate those who disobeyed him.
From then on, he would have sole control over Tarragon.
His largest obstacle at that moment was the forces and old subordinates left behind by the former leader. If
Artemis wanted to get rid of them, he must start with Yvette and Dominic.
Once the two of them were taken down, all the forces left by the former leader would collapse.
That was also why he allowed Yvette to do as she pleased in front of him.
He could only prompt them to reveal their true colors by numbing their senses and lowering their guards.
Evidently, Yvette hadn't realized he had set a trap for her. After she listened to his words, a surprised look flashed
across her face. I can't believe he's supporting me to utilize the forces left behind by my father to target Bailey.
With his encouragement, what do I have to worry, hesitate, or fear about? I should just take action. All the forces
left behind by my father have gathered at Dellmoor anyway. They could launch an all-out attack on Bailey after I
give the command. I don't believe she can withstand a massive onslaught of assassins.
“L-Leader, can I really deploy the forces left behind by my father to assassinate Bailey and assist you?”
Artemis curled his lips into a wicked smile, arched his brow, and asked, “You'll be sharing my burden, so why
wouldn't I agree?” “I've already issued a global kill order previously. Killing the head of the Saviors is a must and a
mission I'm serious about. If you can lend me a hand, that's even better. You'll have made a great contribution if
you can help me sort out this difficult situation. When we return to the headquarters, I'll give you whatever you
want, and no one will be allowed to have any objections.”
Yvette suddenly clenched her fists as utter delight washed over her. Is he promising me the position of matriarch?
“L-Leader, I don't want others to be Tarragon's princess; I want to be Tarragon's matriarch. Can you really fulfill my
wish?”
Artemis grinned and answered half-heartedly, “When you were about to get married, didn't I help you cancel the
marriage? Do you still not understand my intention? I disagreed with you marrying someone else because I want
you to stay in Tarragon forever. And if you remain in Tarragon, aside from being the princess, the only other
available status is the become its matriarch. Be more confident. I want to give you what you desire.”
Yvette wanted to jump with joy on the spot because she was genuinely elated. He just promised me the matriarch's
position. I have nothing to worry about, then. The most important thing to do now is to kill Bailey to eliminate future
threats. Bailey isn't easy prey, and she won't give up just like that. Even if Artemis has lost his memories now, she
can still recover his memories with her medical skills. Therefore, I won't allow her any chance. Only a dead person
will cease to oppose me.
Yvette decided to take action in the upcoming few days to do away with Bailey.
“Okay, I'll contact the assassins my father left me and have them come to Hallsbay. They were the most elite and
top-notch assassins under my father's command. Although Bailey has many subordinates from the Saviors
protecting her, we'll find an opportunity to kill her. After all, it is easy to dodge an open attack but difficult to defend
against a concealed one.”
“Okay. Go ahead with the arrangements. I'll wait for your good news. Don't let me down.”
Yvette nodded vigorously. “Rest assured. I won't disappoint you.”
With that, he turned around and walked toward the door.
Taking in her enraptured demeanor from behind, Artemis couldn't help but curl his lips into a sneer.
I can't believe a fool like her thinks she can compare herself to Bailey. Ha! It's essential for one to know their
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmlimitations. Unfortunately, she doesn't. Therefore, she's destined to suffer a tragic end.
...
Later that night, inside the bedroom at the Shurmer residence, Waverly stood by the bedside, narrowing her eyes
at Shirley who was lying in bed while wearing a poker face.
Anger churned within her chest as she gazed at that woman. I've been so horribly deceived by the mother and
daughter of the Gourd family.
Waverly had never been so thoroughly toyed with by anyone in her entire life.
“Bailey told me everything. What else do you have to say for yourself? I've treated you like my own daughter all
these years, but I never thought you would collude with your mother to trick me. You've truly disappointed me.”
Feeling anxious, Shirley hastily reached out to grab Waverly's arm and sobbed, “Mrs. Shurmer, I had no other
choice. I watched Juliana seduce Zeke to bed, and if I didn't do anything and pretend to be her, I would lose Zeke
forever. Even though this baby was conceived through In vitro fertilization and implanted in me, which isn't
something honorable to be mentioned in public, the baby is still the Shurmer family's descendant. It's still your
biological grandchild.”
Waverly furrowed her brows and asked through gritted teeth, “Are you certain that child is of the Shurmer family's
bloodline?”
Shirley hurriedly nodded. “The sperm was stolen from the Shurmer family's sperm bank. The child belongs to Zeke.
Mrs. Shurmer, you've always been fond of me and wanted to have grandchildren, right? The process doesn't
matter. What's important is that your wish has been fulfilled.”
A stern look flashed across Waverly's countenance. Instead of exposing Genevieve's scheme, she uttered coldly,
“Have a good rest. I'll send someone to take you back to the Gourd residence in a couple of days.” Since Genevieve
plotted this, I shall let her reap what she sows alongside her daughter.
