Chapter 848 Mistaking Ant For Goddess
“That's impossible, Daddy. Could you have made a mistake? She's Bailey! Whether it's her voice or appear
appearance, both match Bailey's perfectly. There are no signs of plastic surgery, too.”
Philip was furious. He directly slapped his son's face, angrily saying, “Fool! Don't you understand? Bailey is proficient
in the long-lost art of disguise. The woman you poisoned was a suicide attacker who had changed her appearance.
The real Bailey has gone to confront Sofie at Tarragon Headquarters.”
Tucker staggered back and plopped down onto the couch.
He was so smug, lost in the intoxicating embrace of that woman. Little did he know she was nothing but a fake.
“Daddy, what should we do now? Since Bailey didn't die, she will return to Moranta. Without Sofie's help, we can't
win against her.”
Philip pressed his palm on his forehead, his eyes emitting a deep, chilling light. “We'll have to force your Uncle
Raymond to abdicate and demand that he hand over the rein of the Hoffman family.”
“An eye for an eye.” Tucker sat up straight, nodding in agreement as he added, “To avoid complications, we must
seize it as soon as possible. If that old man is willing to hand over his position, we can let him live on borrowed time.
If he refuses, I'll have no choice but to ask Kurt to poison them to death.”
Philip lightly hummed in agreement. “Then let's proceed as planned. We'll wreak havoc within the family business.
Once your uncle can't deal with it anymore, we'll join forces with the family elders to force him to step down. If he
refuses, we'll have no choice but to eliminate him.”
Tucker suddenly sprang up from the couch, striding toward the door. “All right. I'll go arrange it right away.”
He was eager to rush to the manor and tear off the imposter's mask to see who she really was.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtJust the thought of having spent so much time with a cold-hearted, ruthless suicide attacker made him feel sick to
his stomach. Like a fool, I mistook her for my goddess and f*cked her. Just thinking about that makes me feel
messed up!
Inside the armory of a Saviors' branch, Veikko was donning his gear, all of which were advanced, lethal laser
weapons.
Since the decision to kill Shaun had been made, it must be carried out flawlessly.
Zeke asked from the side, “Are you sure you don't want me to go with you? You don't have to be polite to me. If
Bailey treats you like a brother, I can also consider you as one.”
Snap!
After loading the pistol, Veikko tucked it directly into his military boots.
As he strapped on his wrist guard, he spoke. “To kill that b*stard, I alone am enough. As long as he shows up,
there's no way he can escape.”
Zeke wanted to say something. Just as his lips began to move, the phone on the desk rang.
Veikko gestured for him to be quiet, then slid to answer the call and turned on the speaker.
In the next moment, Shaun's voice came through the phone.
“My dear brother, I'm truly sorry. I have an important guest to meet tonight, so I'm afraid I won't be able to show
up. How about this? You go alone, and I'll arrange for a few novices from Galaxy Club to take good care of you so
that you can enjoy yourself too. I'm just wondering if you dare to touch a woman or if such matters repulse you.
After all, you've had experiences with a few men in the past, so it's understandable if you have some reservations
about this.”
Crack!
Veikko crushed the wineglass he was holding directly in his hand.
The experience from years ago had inflicted an unhealable wound in his heart.
As time passed, it gradually became a taboo for him.
As such, he was furious that Shaun picked on his wound. “Are you messing with me?”
“Sure. Let's just say that's the case. In any case, I won't be attending the appointment today. If you feel like
unwinding a bit, you can take a trip there. I'll cover all the expenses.” After Shaun finished speaking, he immediately
ended the call.
As Veikko listened to the beeping tone coming from the receiver, his anger surged violently. I've already received
intel that he set up an intricate trap at the club, just waiting for me to walk right into it. What happened? Why did he
suddenly cancel the meeting?
After a moment of silence, he turned his head towards Zeke on the couch, furrowing his brows as he asked, “What
do you think?”
Zeke shook his head, attempting to explain, “I've never dealt with Shaun, so I don't know his temperament.
However, ever since you incapacitated him, he has become unpredictable, his moods shifting like the weather.
Perhaps he's devising a more effective way to deal with you. Let's wait and see what happens.”
Veikko, somewhat angrily, slammed his phone down on the desk. “All right. If he wants to play, then I'll play along
with him. By the way, did Bailey mention when she'll be back?”
Zeke smiled meaningfully. “The time isn't right for her return yet. After Sofie successfully escapes, she'll likely rush
to Moranta to vie with Mr. Philip for the remaining power. Bailey is probably waiting for them to fight until they're
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmboth badly hurt. When that happens, she can swoop in and take them all down at once without lifting a finger.”
After three days of navigating through Mortality Base, Sofie, Damien, as well as her team, successfully escaped.
As soon as she established a signal connection with the outside world, she received an anonymous email.
The email mentioned that Tucker already knew about her illegitimate child with Philip. He had even dispatched a
large number of people to search for the child.
After reading the email, Sofie was so angry that she almost smashed her laptop. It's that brat again! I ordered him
to kill Bailey, but he ended up killing a decoy, leading to my entire army's defeat! Now, he has the audacity to
target my son! He's truly despicable! If I didn't care about his father, I would have had him secretly killed a long
time ago. “Damien, let's first go to Pandera to save my son first. Perhaps we may even be able to lure Tucker over
with him. After Tucker leaves the Hoffman family's territory, it will be much easier for us to kill him. Once he's dead,
my son will be Philip's only heir. When the time comes, we'll take down Philip, and then the entire Hoffman family
will be under our control.”
With a raised eyebrow and a smile, Damien wrapped his arm around her. They then walked toward the convoy
parked in the dense forest. “All right. I'll accompany you first to save my adopted son. Then the three of us will go to
Moranta as a family to kick up a fuss in the Hoffman family.”
Upon receiving his agreement, Sofie couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. “Thank you so much, Damien. I will
make sure my son treats you with great respect in the future.”
“Haha.”
Inside the master's bedroom of Tarragon Headquarters, Artemis leaned against the headboard, his handsome face
still somewhat pale.
Bailey was carefully applying medicine to the wound on his abdomen.
While Artemis stared at the delicate face before him, his mind stirred. Leaning in close to her ear, he asked, “You
didn't reconnect my sperm tubes just so we could have a baby, did you?”
