Chapter 993 Accusing Him Of Being Heartless And Unfaithful
Cameron asked bluntly, sounding as if he had said that through gritted teeth.
Bailey couldn't help but laugh, shaking her head and saying, “I don't know. We'll just have to go with the
flow and see how things go from here. Cameron, even though Blaze has returned, Kurt is still not dead.
We cannot afford to let our guards down.”
Cameron scoffed, “I knew you couldn't let him go. No matter how grave his mistakes, you would never
punish him. Bailey, you used to be free-spirited and unrestrained, doing whatever you want without
thinking about anyone else. But now, you've actually given up your principles for a man. Jeez, you've
truly changed. The old you would never tolerate betrayal from others, but now... Whatever, you've
always been spineless in front of Luther. How could I expect you to stand up for yourself just this once?
You'd better look out for yourself.”
After saying that, he strode into the room.
Bailey could only shake her head helplessly.
She was indeed free-spirited and unrestrained, but the most important part was that Artemis had never
betrayed her.
If he were to betray her, she wouldn't need anyone else to tell her to cut ties with him as she would do
so herself and become strangers with him.
Regardless, that man cherished her more than his life, so how could he ever betray or hurt her?
After leaving the mansion, Bailey made another call to Catherine, briefing her about the situation at the
manor.
Then, she also asked Catherine if she could neutralize the stupefying drug that Eunice had drugged
Cameron with.
Catherine was better than Eunice at the art of perfumery. Hence, undoing the stupefying drug Eunice
concocted wasn't much of a problem for Catherine.
However, she still needed to meet Cameron in person to understand the nature of the stupefying drug
in order to concoct the corresponding antidote.
“Right, there's no rush on this matter. It's fine for Cameron to remain as he is for now. This way, Eunice
will mistakenly think that we've fallen into her trap. When she reports back to Kurt, it will also make him
lower his guard.”
“I see. I thought you were in a hurry for me to go back and snap Mr. Yablon back to his senses. If it's
not that urgent, I'll stay a few more days at the Rogers residence and sort everything out before
leaving.”
“Sure.”
After ending the call, Bailey happened to pass by a garden, where he overheard a few housekeepers
chatting about the “scandal” that occurred last night.
These people were all hired by her. She was their employer, and naturally, their hearts were inclined
toward her.
So when they talked about Artemis, they were quite blunt. They verbally attacked him, belittling the
man until he was worth less than a penny.
To be honest, the injustice Artemis suffered this time was truly immense.
Everyone in the manor was accusing him of being heartless and unfaithful.
Even the children wore expressions of disdain, wishing they could whisk her away, far from their good-
for-nothing father.
Suffering from this undeserved disaster for no reason at all was truly unfortunate and pitiful.
Artemis was currently on a call with Wilfred inside the study of the main house.
The other party seemed quite agitated, as their roar could be heard even through the phone.
“Mr. Luther, you said that Kurt would attack the headquarters of White Group within two days of getting
that seal, didn't you? But it's been four days now, and there's still no sign of any activity from his side.
Can you tell me what's going on? Do you know that he can use the White family's seal to mobilize all
the power of the White family? In other words, if we don't act now and take him down, it won't be long
before he undermines my authority. With that seal, he'll ascend to the position of the family head.”
Artemis lazily leaned against the window sill, coolly gazing in the direction of the artificial lake.
Over there, from time to time, a few housekeepers would gather and point toward the place where he
and Eunice were entangled.
Even though he didn't care about these things, it really irked him whenever people said he wasn't good
enough for Bailey.
With the head of the White family chattering away at the moment, the old man instantly became the
target of Artemis' pent-up anger.
“His hands and feet are his own. If he doesn't make a move, what can I do? Am I supposed to send
some people to force him into action? If you can't even hold on for a few days, then there's no need for
us to continue our agreement. Let's just call it off here.” Property © NôvelDrama.Org.
Wilfred was left speechless, not daring to utter a single word after Artemis' relentless rebuke.
Call it off? Are you kidding me?
He had already handed over the seal of authority, making him lose his backing. If he had a falling out
with Artemis now, he wouldn't stand a chance.
“Mr. Luther, please calm down. I'm just anxious, which is why I may have spoken out of turn. Please
don't take it to heart.”
Artemis ignored him. After a moment of silence, he ventured to ask, “Do you have any way to make
him speed up his attack on the White family headquarters?”
“Um...” Wilfred fell into deep thought. After a long while, he finally had a sudden realization.
“Yes, that unfilial son cares deeply about his mother's ashes. If I provoke him with his mother's ashes,
he will surely lose his temper. Given that he now has control over quite a few forces, he should be
ready to go all out.”
Artemis thought about it for a second. Maintaining his composure, he said, “This plan could work. You
should use his mother's ashes to threaten him, leading him straight to the White residence.”
Trembling, Wilfred asked, “I-I no longer have the family seal in my possession. If that rebellious son
comes back, what then? He's bound to incite those in power in the family to kill me. Mr. Luther, aren't
you just putting me in danger?”
Artemis furrowed his brows, his voice deep as he said, “What are you afraid of? I won't just stand by
and watch you die. First, buy me some time so I can rescue the hostage who has been imprisoned by
Kurt. Once that's done, I'll bring my people to the White residence to help you eliminate him.”
Wilfred was reluctant to do as told. He was no fool. He knew that this time, there was a high chance he
was being sent to be cannon fodder. One wrong move and it could lead to the total annihilation of his
forces.
Nevertheless, he didn't dare to refuse. If he did, Artemis would terminate their partnership.
If that were to happen and that rebel, Kurt, grew stronger and made a powerful comeback, there
wouldn't be any way out for him.
“All right, okay. I'll take a leap of faith this time, Mr. Luther. I'm putting my entire life and fortune in your
hands. I hope that you won't disappoint me and that you won't break our agreement. Otherwise, as
long as I'm still breathing, I'll make sure the Luther family will pay.”
“Sure, I will patiently wait for your news.”
After he finished speaking, he immediately ended the call.
A few seconds later, the phone in his hand rang again.
Glancing down, he saw that it was the head of Tarragon's geological survey department who had
called.
“What is it?”
“Master, the internal structure of that castle has been deciphered. It's a complex building. If we launch a
forceful attack, there's a high chance it may trigger a self-destruct mechanism. If anyone tries to force
their way in, they're likely to meet a grim fate, that is, unless someone inside turns off all the traps. The
place is pretty dangerous.”
Artemis gripped his phone tightly.
He knew that the castle where Kurt was living was complex, but he didn't expect it to be this
convoluted.
For the head of Tarragon's geological survey department to say that it was dangerous must mean that
it was extremely dangerous.
Does this mean we can only wait until Kurt uses Blaze to save his own life when his life is hanging by a
thread? Can't we just barge in and rescue Blaze, cutting off Kurt's last escape route?
At that moment, Ken walked in from outside, urgently reporting, “Mr. Luther, there's important
information.”
