Chapter 1101 You Are A Scoundrel
Bailey remained silent.
When Cassius saw her again, her face was filled with anger.
"Ms. Bailey, are you--"
Bailey interrupted him with a wave of her hand, her voice hoarse.
"Don't say anything. I don't need anyone's pity. Call Ken and let him know what's happening here. Ask
him to come and pick up his employer."
After she finished speaking, she walked towards the exit of the hot spring.
Just as Cassius was about to ask her where she planned to stay, her cold voice reached him from afar.
"Stick to the original plan and head to the Shurmer residence."
"Understood."
On the mountaintop, Faceless smiled as she listened to the conversation through her wireless
earpiece.
From the conversation, it seemed that her plan had succeeded.
Bailey's tone indicated that she had suffered a significant blow.
Everyone believed that Bailey and Artemis were an unbeatable team. Now that their defense had been
shattered in such a despicable way, the upcoming battle would likely be much easier.
It didn't matter that Bailey knew Artemis was set up.
Her pride wouldn't allow her to accept her man's betrayal, even if he was sabotaged.
She took advantage of this fact and resorted to underhanded tactics.
Bailey had to accept this harsh reality, whether she wanted to or not.
"Master, now that the winery has been exposed, should we move the hostage?"
Faceless gave him a cold glance, her expression gloomy.
The man in black trembled in fear and quickly nodded. "The hostage is in a safe place, so there's no
need to move him."
Faceless looked in the direction of the hot spring, a peculiar smirk playing on her lips.
Bailey is bound to suffer this loss. I have emerged victorious in the first round.
The night grew darker.
After leaving the hot spring, Bailey immediately left the winery.
As she got into the car, an unusual thought seemed to enter her mind, but she couldn't grasp it fully.
After waiting for half an hour in a secluded forest, two ordinary-looking men entered the car.
In the next moment, the car sped off into the distance.
When she met Ken earlier, she gave him four hyper-realistic masks. One resembled Artemis, another
resembled Ken himself, and the remaining two were of ordinary appearance.
Even though she didn't say a word, Ken understood that she wanted him to find two people to disguise
themselves as him and Artemis, and then disguise themselves as ordinary people to meet her.
Sure enough, as he was sneaking out with Artemis, they encountered the people she had sent to help This content is © NôvelDrama.Org.
them.
The inside of the car was eerily quiet, the atmosphere suffocating.
Cassius drove while Ken sat in the passenger seat, disguised as an ordinary person.
Bailey leaned back against the car seat, her head bowed as she meticulously traced the pattern in her
hand.
The bright red brocade covered almost the entire seat.
Because the light inside the car was dim, she didn't do any needlework. Instead, she used a pencil to
draw dashed lines on the fabric, sketching out the pattern of a phoenix.
Artemis didn't dare speak first, unsure of her thoughts.
He couldn't understand her emotions at that moment and feared that speaking recklessly might anger
her.
When he saw her take out the red brocade, his eyes flickered with astonishment.
The bright red color reflected in his eyes, making them appear red like the sunset.
Unable to resist, Artemis slowly reached out towards the brocade.
Bailey swiftly slapped his hand away without hesitation.
Driven by anger and frustration, she used great force.
Undeterred, Artemis reached out again.
Bailey snapped, "Stop the car, Cassius."
The screeching of brakes filled the air.
Bailey leaned towards Artemis and opened the other side of the car door. She gritted her teeth as she
said, "Get out."
Artemis looked at her pitifully and murmured, "I'm hurt and have lost a lot of blood, Bay. If you leave me
in this desolate wilderness, I'll be devoured by wolves and tigers. Can you really do that?"
Ken discreetly put on a pair of earpieces.
D*mn it! His voice is torture to my ears, and I can't stand it.
With a cold laugh, Bailey said, "It's not wolves and tigers that would devour you, but your beloved
confidant, huh? Let me repeat it—get out! What does your survival have to do with me? Why should I
care about you? You were pretty calm at the hot spring, weren't you? You stabbed yourself in the heart
with a knife and didn't even flinch when your blood gushed out. So why are you acting pitiful now? Who
would sympathize with you? If it weren't for the fact that you can still marry me, do you think I would
care if you lived?"
Artemis shamelessly hugged her and argued, "I did it to keep myself calm. I stabbed my hand, but it
didn't work. They say the heart hurts the most, so I thought stabbing myself in the heart would work.
You already slapped me once at the hot spring, Bay. Has your anger not subsided? I promise I won't
dare to do it again."
Bailey was indeed angry, even infuriated.
The scene of him with another woman in the hot spring replayed in her mind, causing her body to
tremble uncontrollably.
Although she couldn't bear the thought of him being intimate with another woman, she found it even
more unbearable that he resorted to self-harm to maintain his sanity.
When she walked into the hot spring and saw him stabbing himself in the heart, she was so shocked
that she nearly lost her mind.
At that moment, she even questioned her own cruelty.
How could I be so heartless and wish for him not to be intimate with Rebecca? Look at what my wishes
have led to! He risked his life just to avoid betraying me. Can I really let go and give up a man like him?
As these thoughts consumed her, tears began to flow from her eyes.
She let out a primal roar, "You're a scoundrel, Artemis! What a despicable person! Have you ever
thought about what would happen to me and our child if something were to happen to you?"
The child she was referring to was the fetus growing inside her.
She no longer wanted to go through the pregnancy alone, as it was too painful and lonely.
Upon seeing her breakdown and tears streaming down her face uncontrollably, Artemis became
instantly alarmed.
"Don't cry. Please, don't cry. I promise I won't do it again. Never again. Bay, please stop crying, okay?"
With a hurried motion, Bailey wiped away her tears and pushed him away abruptly.
Artemis thought she was going to start another argument with him, so he pleaded pitifully, "Can you
please not kick me out of the car? It's dangerous up in the mountains in the middle of the night. I've
barely survived. If I were to die here—"
Before he could finish speaking, Bailey reached out and covered his mouth with her hand.
"If you dare say anything foolish again, I will really kick you out," she warned menacingly.
Seeing that he was behaving and had stopped pretending, Bailey finally reached for his chest.
Artemis thought she was going to tease him again without giving him what he wanted as punishment,
and he shuddered violently.
"B-Bay, I'm still recovering from an injury. Isn't this punishment a bit too harsh? It might just kill me."
Bailey was taken aback for a moment. Once she understood the implication of his words, her face
turned red. "Where on earth did your mind go, Artemis?"
