Chapter 930 She Fell For The Trap
She was truly scared.
When that man lost his temper, he could really drive her to her wit's end.
Who knew what had gotten into him? He had been tormenting her relentlessly since the moment he got back.
Whenever she saw him, her legs could not help but wobble in fear.
Artemis rubbed his temple helplessly and gave a wry smile. “You enjoyed it too, didn't you? If it weren't for the
excellent soundproofing in this room, I bet your voice would reverberate throughout the entire research base.”
In an instant, Bailey's cheeks flushed red.
When she saw him approaching her again, she glared at him and yelled, “Don't touch me. I've got things to do, and
I can't mess around with you anymore.”
Artemis let out a sigh, got up, put on his robe, and then walked toward her. He forcefully picked her up,
disregarding her resistance.
“I won't give you a hard time anymore. Go take a bath, it can help ease your body aches.”
Bailey scoffed twice and asked through gritted teeth, “Did the gorgeous lady from Interpol bewitch you? Is that why
you got all—”
“Was that not enough?” Artemis asked, narrowing his gaze as a malicious intent flickered in his eyes.
Bailey's body trembled slightly at his threat. She quickly changed the subject, “Eunice is planning to assassinate
Catherine later. Stop messing around. Hurry up and carry me into the bathroom to wash up. Although Eunice's
perfumery skills aren't as good as Catherine's, she's still hiding in the shadows, so we need to be vigilant when
dealing with her.”
Upon hearing what she said, Artemis collected himself. The playful expression on his face disappeared.
If it were someone else, he might not have taken it seriously.
But Catherine was Simon's future wife, and there was no way he would let outsiders bully her.
“Don't worry, there are so many of us guarding the research base. If something really happens to Catherine, we
would be so embarrassed that we'll bang our heads against the wall.”
While that may be the case, it was better to be safe than sorry.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtMeanwhile, in the last room of the infirmary, Catherine looked at her daughter with a blank face. Her gaze was cold
and indifferent.
Her daughter lay on the hospital bed, eyes tightly shut, and her face extremely pale.
Originally, Catherine's fragrance powder could effectively suppress the revival of the parasitic bug inside Luna.
It's all Eunice's fault!
Catherine was well aware of the woman's intentions. She knew that the woman wanted to harm Luna and cause
her deep grief and emotional distress, making her mentally and physically exhausted.
That was likely the only way for Eunice to stand a chance of winning when she ambushed Catherine.
Regardless, that woman was no match for Catherine. She could only resort to such despicable means to compete
with Catherine.
Hmph! She's nothing but trash. It's ridiculous how the elders in the family are supporting her, wanting to help her
rise to power, only to replace her later.
Catherine had not laid a finger on Eunice in the past few years. It was not because she was afraid of Eunice, but
rather, Catherine did not consider Eunice worthy of her time and attention.
She isn't worthy to compete with me.
“It's almost time. Let's leave now. Otherwise, Eunice might try to escape if she senses something amiss upon
arriving. Then it will be hard for us to catch her again.”
Simon's deep, husky voice rang out in Catherine's ears, snapping her back to her senses.
She quickly turned her head, and her gaze landed on the scene outside the window. Her hand hanging by her side
slowly clenched into a fist.
Let's put an end to this today, Eunice.
They were destined to fight to the last breath. The only way for Catherine to ensure she lived long enough to watch
her daughter grow up was to make sure that Eunice died.
“Go tell those bodyguards who are lurking in the shadows that if Eunice attacks them and makes them feel dizzy
with her perfume, they should just play along with her and not resist.”
Simon furrowed his brows and asked, “Are you sure she only uses sedative fragrance? Not poisonous powder?”
Catherine glanced at him and then strode toward the door, speaking as she walked. “According to the rules of the
Rogers family, all of their descendants are not allowed to harm others with poisonous powder. Eunice is determined
to become the heir of the Rogers family. Do you think she would simply kill the innocent, only to be ultimately
punished by the family rules?”
Um... All right, point taken. It's quite a ridiculous question.
Soon, it was twelve noon.
In the southwestern corner of the research base, a slender figure darted over the wall like a ghost and quickly
vanished into the bush.
Three seconds later, the serene atmosphere was disrupted by the sound of several heavy objects hitting the
ground.
Afterward, several black-clad bodyguards, who were hidden in the shadows, silently dropped onto the lawn.
Everything happened within the blink of an eye that none of them had time to react.
They felt a gust of wind sweep past them, leaving a faint fragrance lingering in the air.
Subsequently, they lost their consciousness and fainted on the ground.
Bailey was hiding behind the window sill of a distant attic, narrowing her eyes and furrowing her brows as she
watched all the events unfold before her on the other side of the wall.
“I underestimated Eunice's skills and her mastery of the art of perfumery. I hope Catherine doesn't take her lightly.
It's hard to tell who will emerge victorious in the end.”
Arching a brow, Artemis leaned against another side of the window and chuckled. “Now that she has entered the
perilous place, her fate is sealed. She will surely die, and there's no doubt about it. Ha! I'm really eager to know who
has given this woman such confidence, making her believe she could escape unscathed right under mine and
Zeke's watchful eyes. Even the world's top assassins can't return alive once they've ventured into the research
base. I'm curious to see just how capable this woman is.”
Bailey rolled her eyes.
Indeed, no one would turn down a spectacle.
While his younger brother was downstairs, consumed by anxiety, he, on the other hand, remained perfectly
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmcomposed and content.
Eunice followed the blueprint that Aisley had provided and navigated her way through the research base.
Wherever she went, she skillfully incapacitated all the bodyguards hiding in the shadows.
As she walked past a corner, heading towards the end of the hallway, she suddenly sensed something was off and
stopped dead in her tracks.
Astonished, she whipped out a jade stone from her pocket.
When she saw a milky white halo flickering on it, she felt as if she was struck by lightning, and her expression
changed drastically.
The jade stone is glowing? That means the parasite king isn't dead yet. If that's the case, the vector is alive too. In
other words, I've fallen into her trap. How dare you deceive me, Aisley! I'm going to kill you!
After cursing in her heart, Eunice quickly turned around, wanting to backtrack and retreat, realizing that she was
not a match for Catherine.
If that illegitimate child had survived, and Catherine's mental state was stable, I would undoubtedly be facing my
death today. The only way for me to stay alive is to run!
Just as she was about to turn and head back to the lush garden, a crisp voice sounded from behind her. “Why are
you running away, Eunice? Weren't you trying to seize the inheritance from me? If you kill me today, you'll finally
get what you've always wanted.”
Eunice's body shivered, causing her to come to a sudden stop.
As she looked up, she saw Catherine standing amidst the flowers, donned in a vintage long dress.
That woman doesn't need to do anything. As she stands there casually, she exudes an aura of elegance, nobility,
and dominance, as if she was born to be a leader.
Catherine was everyone's favorite. If she hadn't become pregnant back then and given birth to a child of foreign
lineage, she would have assumed the position of the head of the family long ago.
Conversely, Eunice was destined to be nothing more than a backdrop, existing only to complement Catherine.
“You tricked me.”
Catherine looked at her coldly. A hint of contempt flashed in her eyes.
“Greed has no limits. You've brought this upon yourself. Since you're here, let's settle this once and for all today.”
