Chapter 992 Provoking Bailey
Bailey stood at the doorway, listening to the housekeeper's report, a hint of mockery visible at the corner of her lips.
Not stopping me anymore, huh? Could that woman really believe that her petty, underhanded schemes could fool me and turn me completely
against Artemis?
After standing quietly at the door for a moment, she finally stepped into the room.
Before her eyes was Blaze, or should she say, Eunice. Eunice was reclined against the head of the bed with a pale face and a melancholy
expression.
With her delicate and fragile demeanor, coupled with a face that could rival a movie star's, it was no wonder she could stir men's deep-seated
desire to protect her.
No wonder Cameron, that sharp and intelligent guy, is utterly bewitched and toyed around by this vile wench.
Between coughs, Eunice muttered, “Bay, you're here.”
Bailey lowered her head slightly, suppressing the disgust in her heart. She took one step at a time toward the bed and nodded, saying, “I came
to see how you're doing... Are you feeling any better?”
Drip!
Tears streamed down Eunice's face. She struggled to grasp Bailey's wrist, choking on her words, “Bay, I... I shouldn't have come to the
manor... If I hadn't come, last night's incident wouldn't have happened. I know how devoted you are to love and how you are unable to accept
that the man you love has been with another woman. B-But Mr. Luther truly loves you. He must have been out of his mind for doing what he
did to me last night. Please, don't blame him. Please.”
Suppressing the urge to punch her disgusting face, Bailey tried to force a smile and said with some difficulty, “I don't blame you. I blame
those scumbags who have no sense of boundaries. Artemis kept professing his love for me, but in the end, he was worse than a beast. He even
had the heart to hurt you. We're done. Don't ever mention him in front of me again.”
Seeing her firm attitude, Eunice couldn't help but feel elated. Even her eyes sparkled with excitement, an emotion she couldn't hide.
She wanted to provoke Bailey a bit. After a moment of silence, her face showed an indescribable expression. She cried out, “It's all because of
my good-for-nothing body. Apart from my looks, I'm useless. Last night, when he lunged at me, I instinctively resisted. But no matter how
much I struggled, I couldn't escape his grip. In the end, all I could do was watch him take possession of me intensely. He was fierce, just like
Kurt, only knowing how to do what he wanted without any regard for my wishes.” She sobbed for a bit before adding, “Bay, what have I done
wrong? Why do these men humiliate me so? They want me so badly as if they wish to...”
Bailey couldn't bear it any longer. She reached out, grabbed the water cup from the bedside table, and handed it to her.
“It's all in the past now. Here, have some water to calm your nerves. No one will hurt or humiliate you anymore. From now on, Cameron will
protect you diligently. As for those who have hurt you, they will pay a hefty price.”
Eunice was eager to provoke Bailey, so even when she was interrupted, she didn't stop. She continued, “You and Mr. Luther are so in love. As
your friend, I should be encouraging you to stay together. H-However, it's really hard for me to do that. After all, he's been tainted by me. I
really think he's no longer worthy of you. All of this happened because of me. I ruined your happiness of a lifetime. I deserve to go to hell.”
“It wasn't your fault.” Bailey suppressed her emotions, trying to make her tone as calm as possible. “How can you be blamed for these
disasters that you've had to endure? Don't speak such nonsense in the future. Take good care of yourself, and once you've fully recovered, you
can wear a pristine white wedding dress and marry Cameron.” NôvelDrama.Org (C) content.
In truth, Eunice really wanted to say, “I want Artemis to take responsibility and marry me.”
However, the real Blaze had no feelings for Artemis. Her love was for Cameron. If she behaved too abnormally at this moment, it would
arouse their suspicion.
“All right, I'll take good care of my health and strive to emerge from this nightmare as soon as possible. That way, I can stay by Cameron's
side.”
A hint of mockery flashed deep within Bailey's eyes.
This woman claims she wants to spend her life with Cameron, but I'm sure she's scheming on how to trick Artemis once again. Once she has
him within her grasp, she will finish what was left undone last night and then force Artemis to marry her. To be honest, it's quite disgusting
that the man I love is being coveted by such a pretentious creature.
Bailey really couldn't stand it any longer. She was afraid that if she heard this woman speak a few more words, she wouldn't be able to control
her outburst.
She had always been one to hold a grudge and seek revenge. Whenever she felt displeased, she would directly use her strength to crush her
opponents until nothing was left of them.
It was truly a life-and-death struggle for her to hold back and restrain herself.
“Well, you should get some rest. I won't bother you anymore. It's pretty awkward between Cameron and me right now. He's about to come
back, so I think I'll just avoid him for now.”
Eunice's face stiffened when she heard Bailey say she was leaving.
However, upon thinking Bailey must have been unable to bear the blow and was eager to escape, she immediately felt better.
This was the outcome she wanted to see. Now that her goal had been achieved, she had no desire to engage in pointless chatter with Bailey
any longer.
“All right, Bay, some people are not worth your sorrow. It's better to see their true colors sooner rather than later to spare you from greater
harm in the future. Mr. Luther is indeed exceptional, but he's immoral and not entirely devoted to you. Losing such a man might not be a bad
thing for you after all.”
Bailey hummed in agreement and slowly straightened her body. The moment she turned around, a cold glint burst from her eyes.
If it weren't for the concern that Blaze was still in the hands of that b*stard Kurt, which rendered them unable to afford to act rashly, she
absolutely would have taught this woman a lesson.
Upon exiting the room, she bumped into Cameron, who was rushing down the corridor.
Seeing the anxiety written all over Cameron's face, she knew that he was worried she might cause harm to “Blaze.”
Haha, in his eyes, I've already become a wicked person with malicious intentions.
“Bailey, what brings you to Blaze?”
Considering that the man was being kept in the dark about everything, Bailey decided not to pick a fight with him as she felt bad.
“I came to see her, nothing more. Rest assured, I won't take out my anger on her because of what happened last night. When a man and a
woman get entangled, it's often the woman who suffers the most. Even if I needed to vent my anger, I would seek out Artemis.”
Realizing that he might have overreacted, Cameron quickly clarified, “That's not what I meant, I—”
“I know you feel for Blaze's plight. I understand. You don't need to explain anything. Just take good care of her.”
She had no intention of revealing the truth to him, as he was now completely bewitched by Eunice's stupefying drug.
Even if she were honest with him, he probably wouldn't believe her. If things got out of hand and it involved the imposter, things would get
tricky.
At the moment, Artemis had already started arranging the rescue for Blaze. They needed to use Eunice to pacify Kurt, making that man lower
his guard.
“Bailey, what are you going to do about Artemis? Will you leave him, or act as if nothing happened?”
