Chapter 767 The Wife is Even Angrier Now
Tucker snapped out of his daze. After agreeing, he quickly called for the bodyguards behind him to invite the best
doctor from the Hoffman family to come over.
After he had arranged everything, he turned around to look at Shaun, only to find that the latter had already
passed out. The room was filled with the stench of blood mixed with a strange amorous smell. He couldn't bear it
any longer and hurriedly left.
At the entrance, Astrid was escorted by two bodyguards dressed in black suits as they walked over. When they were
in front of Tucker, one of the bodyguards kicked Astrid's legs, forcing her to kneel.
“M-Mr. Tucker, I've already done as you instructed. What else do you want?”
Tucker suddenly leaned in, forcefully gripping her chin, and said through gritted teeth, “You actually have the nerve
to tell me that you followed my instructions. Fine, then let me ask you, where is Caridee? Why did Mr. Carter end up
with several male mastiffs?”
Astrid's eyes widened in disbelief as she stared at him and murmured, “Male mastiffs? How is that possible? How
could this be? I clearly drugged Caridee and sent her to the lounge.”
Tucker suddenly pushed her away.
“Useless! You can't even handle such a trivial matter. What's the point of having you around?” Upon hearing his
tone, Astrid immediately became anxious.
“M-Mr. Tucker, I can continue working for you. Whatever you ask me to do, I'll do it. Please, I beg you, don't harm
the Adley family. I'm begging you.”
Tucker lifted his leg and kicked her in the shoulder, sending her flying several meters away.
“I won't support useless people. Your family is just a burden. If your family ever falls apart, it will be because you all
no longer have value.”
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇt“No...” Astrid clenched her fists tightly. If Caridee hadn't come to Moranta, the Adley family might not have suffered
this misfortune. It was all because of Caridee.
If she became a poor heiress, she would make sure Caridee would suffer for it too. As she was thinking, something
crossed her mind. Her eyes suddenly lit up.
“Mr. Tucker, I know who saved Caridee. It must be him who released the mastiffs.”
Tucker narrowed his eyes at her and said coldly, “Just say what you want to say all at once. Don't beat around the
bush.”
“Okay. Okay. I'll say everything at once. I'll say everything at once. Caridee mentioned before that she had fallen for
a young man who seemed to be from the Saviors. However, she didn't go into detail with me. I only know that the
person she likes is from the Saviors.” Tucker raised his eyebrows.
Did someone from the Saviors cause Shaun to become a eunuch? Well, things are becoming more and more
interesting.
The Hoffman family was preparing to deal with Bailey. With Shaun's help, they would surely save a lot of trouble.
“This is good news. Well, your merit can offset your demerit. From now on, whenever I give you an order, you must
accomplish it promptly. Can you do that?”
“S-Sure.”
After angering Bailey, Artemis tried various ways to appease her. He tried to ask for forgiveness and punish himself.
He tried every trick in the book. However, Bailey was extremely angry this time and didn't accept his apology.
Inside the laboratory of Tarragon Headquarters, Bailey was busy concocting a toxin. The toxins in Artemis' blood
were almost completely cleansed.
With the remaining one-third of the toxins, she intended to use poison to counteract the toxins. Otherwise, all her
previous efforts would be wasted, as Soul Reaper was incurable. Outside the laboratory, Artemis looked at his busy
wife inside the laboratory with a helpless and frustrated expression.
If only he had known that he was so lucky and would wake up after losing so much blood, he wouldn't have knocked
her out in the first place. Now, she was thoroughly annoyed, and nothing would let her forgive him.
“I'm a jerk.” He slapped himself hard on his face twice. Zeke chuckled softly and patted his shoulder reassuringly.
“She won't sulk for long and will be fine in a couple of days. Just think of ways to coax her during this time, and
whatever you do, don't make her angry again. Otherwise, even a deity won't be able to save you.”
Artemis couldn't help but let out a bitter smile, shaking his head and saying, “Judging by her attitude, it seems like
she will give me the silent treatment for a long time. Two days? You're underestimating your sister's ability to throw
a tantrum.”
Zeke raised his eyebrows and responded with a wry smile, “How about we try a bolder approach?”
“Hmm? What approach? Tell me about it.”
“Stop being so enthusiastic. Be a bit colder. Make her feel a strong urge to come and find you. Everything will turn
out fine.”
Artemis bowed and replied, “That's a good idea. I'll do it. Once I've recovered, I'll definitely go to the Hoffman
family and bring back my future sister-in-law.”
“Get lost.” Artemis turned around and walked toward the elevator.
“I'll leave this place in your capable hands, Zeke. I'll set things up and try to remove all opposing forces in one go.”
“All right.” As soon as Artemis left, Bailey walked out of the laboratory. She glanced around and didn't see Artemis.
Frowning, she asked, “Where is he? What earthshaking act is he trying to do this time?”
Zeke didn't respond and changed the subject, asking, “How's the toxin coming along?”
“I still haven't found the perfect one. Let's wait a couple more days.”
“All right. Don't tire yourself out too much. If you're tired, take a proper break. Do you understand?”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm“Okay. I understand.”
Bailey was slightly worried after Artemis didn't come to see her for the entire afternoon.
Did something happen to him again? Is he hiding somewhere to suffer the pain alone? If that's the case, I can only
tell him that a leopard doesn't change its spots.
“Focus. Do you think you can develop the right toxin when you're so distracted?” Cameron's voice rang out by her
ear, bringing her back from her wandering thoughts. She glared at him fiercely and threw the instrument on the
table before striding towards the outside.
“I'll leave it to you, then.” Cameron was rendered speechless. After leaving the laboratory, Bailey went straight
back to the Luther residence.
She could see Artemis and Micah conversing and drinking on the open balcony; they appeared to be having a great
time.
Ah, all men are the same. They have no patience when it comes to coaxing their wives. It's only been two days, and
you have no patience anymore?
On the balcony, Micah noticed Bailey standing in the snow and raised an eyebrow.
“Your wife seems even angrier now. Are you sure you want to keep drinking?” Artemis couldn't help but laugh.
“She's been quite upset these past few days. Let's give her some personal space and let her adjust on her own.”
Bailey walked toward the balcony. Suddenly, she slipped and fell straight into the snow. She was suddenly overcome
by a wave of agony and a bone-chilling coldness, which made her sob uncontrollably.
Artemis couldn't keep up his pretentious act any longer. He ran down the stairs and rushed straight towards her. He
bent down to embrace her.
“How do you feel? Did you hurt yourself anywhere when you fell?”
Bailey let out two humphs.
My tears are already streaming down. How can it not hurt?
Artemis sighed softly and said slowly, “I knocked you out once, and you gave the painting you drew to Cameron
behind my back. We both made mistakes, so why don't we call it even?”
