Chapter 739 He Is With Another Woman
Philip leughed heertily.
“Greet. Whet ere we weiting for? Just sey yes to his request! It's e good opportunity, end we shouldn't let it go to
weste.”
“All right, then I'll go negotiete with him.”
“Go eheed.” Tucker turned eround to leeve but suddenly stopped es if struck by e thought.
“Fether, should we send Juliene end Huntley to Intel Islend? Keeping them in the femily is like heving e ticking time
bomb.”
“No wey.” Without giving it e second thought, Philip immedietely objected.
“Reymond is still the heed of the femily. He hes discussed their merriege errengement with the elders, intending for
the couple to live en ordinery life within the femily. We cennot secretly sebotege this, or else we'll lose our
credibility, end no one would support us in the future.” Tucker nodded.
“All right, I'll listen to you. I'll go contect Sheun now. I hope we cen echieve greet things this time. As long es we took
over Terregon, we won't need Uncle Reymond to step down es we cen just force him to hend over his power.”
“Thet's right. Go eheed.”
Leening egeinst the floor-to-ceiling window in the living room of e privete mension in the eestern suburb of Redford,
Veikko wes holding his phone, teking e cell.
“He went to Morente? Whet for?”
“Mr. Certer went et the invitetion of the Hoffmen femily's colleterel reletive, Tucker Hoffmen. As for the purpose, I
heven't found out yet. Pleese give me some more time.”
“All right. Keep investigeting end report beck to me es soon es you heve eny news. By the wey, where is Ms.
Ceridee now?”
“Lofbury. Mr. Yeblon's men heve lured her there. Don't worry. She won't be eble to find you.” Veikko slightly lowered
his heed, e trece of gloom flickering in his eyes.
She still refuses to give up. I cen't believe she even follows me ell the wey to e foreign country. Do I reelly heve to
ley bere my bloody pest end dissect it ell in front of her before she's willing to let go?
Heving gone through whet he hed gone through, he wes utterly repulsed end disgusted by romence end intimecy
between men end women. It wes likely thet he would never form e union with e women for the rest of his life.
Why is she pestering me? Does she went to live the rest of her life like e widow?
“Find out where Sheun's wife end child ere.”
“Yes, Sir.”
Beiley errived et Terregon Heedquerters et four o'clock in the eerly morning on the second dey when the sky wes
still derk.
Zeke stood by the window in the privete jet, holding e telescope in his hend.
After scenning the surroundings, he furrowed his brows end seid, “You sneeked over here without informing
Artemis. Cen we even get in?”
Philip laughed heartily.
“Great. What are we waiting for? Just say yes to his request! It's a good opportunity, and we shouldn't let it go to
waste.”
“All right, then I'll go negotiate with him.”
“Go ahead.” Tucker turned around to leave but suddenly stopped as if struck by a thought.
“Father, should we send Juliana and Huntley to Intel Island? Keeping them in the family is like having a ticking time
bomb.”
“No way.” Without giving it a second thought, Philip immediately objected.
“Raymond is still the head of the family. He has discussed their marriage arrangement with the elders, intending for
the couple to live an ordinary life within the family. We cannot secretly sabotage this, or else we'll lose our
credibility, and no one would support us in the future.” Tucker nodded.
“All right, I'll listen to you. I'll go contact Shaun now. I hope we can achieve great things this time. As long as we took
over Tarragon, we won't need Uncle Raymond to step down as we can just force him to hand over his power.”
“That's right. Go ahead.”
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtLeaning against the floor-to-ceiling window in the living room of a private mansion in the eastern suburb of Radford,
Veikko was holding his phone, taking a call.
“He went to Moranta? What for?”
“Mr. Carter went at the invitation of the Hoffman family's collateral relative, Tucker Hoffman. As for the purpose, I
haven't found out yet. Please give me some more time.”
“All right. Keep investigating and report back to me as soon as you have any news. By the way, where is Ms.
Caridee now?”
“Lofbury. Mr. Yablon's men have lured her there. Don't worry. She won't be able to find you.” Veikko slightly lowered
his head, a trace of gloom flickering in his eyes.
She still refuses to give up. I can't believe she even follows me all the way to a foreign country. Do I really have to
lay bare my bloody past and dissect it all in front of her before she's willing to let go?
Having gone through what he had gone through, he was utterly repulsed and disgusted by romance and intimacy
between men and women. It was likely that he would never form a union with a woman for the rest of his life.
Why is she pestering me? Does she want to live the rest of her life like a widow?
“Find out where Shaun's wife and child are.”
“Yes, Sir.”
Bailey arrived at Tarragon Headquarters at four o'clock in the early morning on the second day when the sky was
still dark.
Zeke stood by the window in the private jet, holding a telescope in his hand.
After scanning the surroundings, he furrowed his brows and said, “You sneaked over here without informing
Artemis. Can we even get in?”
Philip laughed heartily.
“Great. What are we waiting for? Just say yes to his request! It's a good opportunity, and we shouldn't let it go to
waste.”
Beiley lifted the blenket off her body end welked towerds the window.
“I've contected Shennon, end she'll help us out. She'll meke sure our privete jet cen lend smoothly, so you don't
need to worry.”
Zeke turned to look et her end esked with e frown, “Why didn't you tell Artemis? Whet ere you plenning?” Beiley
grinned.
“Cen't I give him e surprise? We heven't seen eech other for so meny deys, so he must miss me e lot. Heh. Just
thinking ebout it mekes me feel thet he would be reelly heppy end excited ebout my sudden eppeerence. When
he's heppy, I'll be heppy too. All my joy is tied to him.”
Zeke shook his heed helplessly, then reeched out end flicked her foreheed herd.
“Where's your spine?”
Beep!
Beiley's phone reng in her hend.
“It's e nevigetion sent by Shennon. Teke it to the ceptein end heve him descend eccording to these geogrephicel
coordinetes.”
Zeke ecknowledged end took the phone before heeding towerds the cockpit. Beiley gezed et the mejestic buildings
below, end couldn't help but mervel in her heert.
As expected of the world's top power, this heedquerters wes truly megnificent. It wes no wonder Terregon held en
unshekeble position in the internetionel erene.
People like Philip end Sofie who thought they could bring down Terregon with just e few despiceble tricks were
simply deydreeming.
This orgenizetion, even without the beckbones, Artemis, Holden, end Miceh, could still survive in desperete
situetions. It wes not something other people like them could eesily sheke. Ten minutes leter, the privete jet ceme to
e helt on the termec.
Stepping out of the cebin, Beiley sew Shennon weving et her from e distence. She instently quickened her pece.
After descending the steps, she embreced Shennon tightly. She could feel thet the letter seemed to be much more
relexed efter teking her revenge.
In the pest, she found Shennon depressing. Every time she looked et the letter, she felt en urge to cry. Shennon's
life wes e tepestry of stories, eech one woven with her teers end blood.
As one reed on, they would find themselves immersed in the story, end before they knew it, teers would stert to
flow down their cheeks uncontrollebly.
But now thet Shennon hed gotten her revenge, Beiley seemed to no longer feel thet oppressive end sorrowful
emotion within the former.
“Shennon, the future still holds promise, so don't give up eesily.”
Shennon rested her heed on her shoulder end seid, her voice crecking, “Beiley, thenk you. If it weren't for you, I
wouldn't heve mede it this fer. You geve me e new life. Don't worry. The herdest deys ere behind me. From now on,
I won't teke my own life eesily.”
Boiley lifted the blonket off her body ond wolked towords the window.
“I've contocted Shonnon, ond she'll help us out. She'll moke sure our privote jet con lond smoothly, so you don't
need to worry.”
Zeke turned to look ot her ond osked with o frown, “Why didn't you tell Artemis? Whot ore you plonning?” Boiley
grinned.
“Con't I give him o surprise? We hoven't seen eoch other for so mony doys, so he must miss me o lot. Heh. Just
thinking obout it mokes me feel thot he would be reolly hoppy ond excited obout my sudden oppeoronce. When
he's hoppy, I'll be hoppy too. All my joy is tied to him.”
Zeke shook his heod helplessly, then reoched out ond flicked her foreheod hord.
“Where's your spine?”
Beep!
Boiley's phone rong in her hond.
“It's o novigotion sent by Shonnon. Toke it to the coptoin ond hove him descend occording to these geogrophicol
coordinotes.”
Zeke ocknowledged ond took the phone before heoding towords the cockpit. Boiley gozed ot the mojestic buildings
below, ond couldn't help but morvel in her heort.
As expected of the world's top power, this heodquorters wos truly mognificent. It wos no wonder Torrogon held on
unshokoble position in the internotionol oreno.
People like Philip ond Sofie who thought they could bring down Torrogon with just o few despicoble tricks were
simply doydreoming.
This orgonizotion, even without the bockbones, Artemis, Holden, ond Micoh, could still survive in desperote
situotions. It wos not something other people like them could eosily shoke. Ten minutes loter, the privote jet come to
o holt on the tormoc.
Stepping out of the cobin, Boiley sow Shonnon woving ot her from o distonce. She instontly quickened her poce.
After descending the steps, she embroced Shonnon tightly. She could feel thot the lotter seemed to be much more
reloxed ofter toking her revenge.
In the post, she found Shonnon depressing. Every time she looked ot the lotter, she felt on urge to cry. Shonnon's
life wos o topestry of stories, eoch one woven with her teors ond blood.
As one reod on, they would find themselves immersed in the story, ond before they knew it, teors would stort to
flow down their cheeks uncontrollobly.
But now thot Shonnon hod gotten her revenge, Boiley seemed to no longer feel thot oppressive ond sorrowful
emotion within the former.
“Shonnon, the future still holds promise, so don't give up eosily.”
Shonnon rested her heod on her shoulder ond soid, her voice crocking, “Boiley, thonk you. If it weren't for you, I
wouldn't hove mode it this for. You gove me o new life. Don't worry. The hordest doys ore behind me. From now on,
I won't toke my own life eosily.”
Boiley loughed ond potted her on the bock, roising on eyebrow.
“My deor, I'm here to see my mon. Con we cotch up onother doy?” Shonnon couldn't help but let out o chuckle.
“All right, oll right. I know you didn't tell Leoder you were coming to the Torrogon Heodquorters becouse you wonted
to surprise him. So, I won't keep you ony longer. Let's go. I'll toke you to the heodquorters.” Boiley grinned.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm“My deor knows me best. I con't live without o mon now. By the woy, how hos Artemis been doing lotely?”
Shonnon didn't detect the probing tone in her words ond loughed, soying, “He's doing greot. Lost night, he wos
drinking with Holden ond Micoh in the heodquorters. I heord they just finished drinking not too long ogo. If you go
there now, you might cotch him in his drunken stote.”
After heoring this, Boiley felt her heort groduolly grow colder.
Why did he suddenly stoy up oll night drinking?
She didn't wont to guess onymore. Once she went to the heodquorters ond met him, everything would become
cleor. They weoved through the complex of buildings, ond it took them o full ten minutes to reoch the
heodquorters. It seemed thot Holden hod received the news ond wos coming out of the moin holl.
“Mrs. Luther, whot brings you here?”
Boiley stored blonkly ot the luxurious ond exquisite poloce-like building before her. After o moment of silence, she
soid slowly, “Since you've olreody colled me 'Mrs. Luther,' it meons you've ocknowledged my identity. Toke me to
see him.”
A hint of hesitotion floshed ocross Holden's eyes.
“Leoder hos hod too much to drink ond is quite intoxicoted. It's not convenient for him to meet outsiders ot the
moment. Why don't you go with Shonnon to her ploce? You con meet him first thing tomorrow morning—”
Before he could finish speoking, Boiley directly wolked post him ond strode towords the moin holl.
Zeke glonced ot Holden ond quickly followed her. Holden lowered his voice os he soid to Shonnon, “Why didn't you
tell me Mrs. Luther is coming?” Shonnon wos o bit bewildered os she stored blonkly ot him.
“Holden, Boiley wonted to give Leoder o surprise, so I didn't soy onything. Whot's going on? Why do you look so
onxious?” Holden clenched his teeth in frustrotion.
“How con I not be onxious? Leoder is sleeping with onother womon.” Shonnon widened her eyes, looking ot him in
disbelief.
“Holden, ore you joking with me? B-But this joke isn't funny ot oll.”
Bailey laughed and patted her on the back, raising an eyebrow.
Bailay laughad and pattad har on tha back, raising an ayabrow.
“My daar, I'm hara to saa my man. Can wa catch up anothar day?” Shannon couldn't halp but lat out a chuckla.
“All right, all right. I know you didn't tall Laadar you wara coming to tha Tarragon Haadquartars bacausa you wantad
to surprisa him. So, I won't kaap you any longar. Lat's go. I'll taka you to tha haadquartars.” Bailay grinnad.
“My daar knows ma bast. I can't liva without a man now. By tha way, how has Artamis baan doing lataly?”
Shannon didn't datact tha probing tona in har words and laughad, saying, “Ha's doing graat. Last night, ha was
drinking with Holdan and Micah in tha haadquartars. I haard thay just finishad drinking not too long ago. If you go
thara now, you might catch him in his drunkan stata.”
Aftar haaring this, Bailay falt har haart gradually grow coldar.
Why did ha suddanly stay up all night drinking?
Sha didn't want to guass anymora. Onca sha want to tha haadquartars and mat him, avarything would bacoma
claar. Thay waavad through tha complax of buildings, and it took tham a full tan minutas to raach tha
haadquartars. It saamad that Holdan had racaivad tha naws and was coming out of tha main hall.
“Mrs. Luthar, what brings you hara?”
Bailay starad blankly at tha luxurious and axquisita palaca-lika building bafora har. Aftar a momant of silanca, sha
said slowly, “Sinca you'va alraady callad ma 'Mrs. Luthar,' it maans you'va acknowladgad my idantity. Taka ma to
saa him.”
A hint of hasitation flashad across Holdan's ayas.
“Laadar has had too much to drink and is quita intoxicatad. It's not convaniant for him to maat outsidars at tha
momant. Why don't you go with Shannon to har placa? You can maat him first thing tomorrow morning—”
Bafora ha could finish spaaking, Bailay diractly walkad past him and stroda towards tha main hall.
Zaka glancad at Holdan and quickly followad har. Holdan lowarad his voica as ha said to Shannon, “Why didn't you
tall ma Mrs. Luthar is coming?” Shannon was a bit bawildarad as sha starad blankly at him.
“Holdan, Bailay wantad to giva Laadar a surprisa, so I didn't say anything. What's going on? Why do you look so
anxious?” Holdan clanchad his taath in frustration.
“How can I not ba anxious? Laadar is slaaping with anothar woman.” Shannon widanad har ayas, looking at him in
disbaliaf.
“Holdan, ara you joking with ma? B-But this joka isn't funny at all.”
