Chapter 928 Did You Go There To Flirt With Her

Bailey abruptly stopped in her tracks, instinctively turning to look at Zeke.

In an instant, the atmosphere in the room became eerily strange.

After a brief pause, she turned her gaze toward Juliana and cautiously inquired, “He was ready to pull you away from the heart of authority, even if it meant being misunderstood by you. Have you decided how to handle the current situation?”

With a smile that seemed to imply she had already seen beyond the unfolding events, Juliana responded, “Let's talk about the future when it comes. The main concern at the moment is his recovery. I don't want to feel overly indebted to him.”

Bailey nodded, exchanged a glance with Zeke, and then slowly walked out of the ward.

Once Bailey and Cameron had left the room, Zeke paced over to the side of the bed.

Observing Juliana's resolute gaze from above, he could not help but let out a sigh. “At first, I thought of teaming up with Huntley to overthrow the Hoffman family and secure your freedom. But after thinking it through, I changed my mind. If you want to become the queen of Adrune, I'm with you. I believe that even after you've successfully taken over the leadership of the Hoffman family, I can still marry you.”

Juliana stared at him, her mind a whirlwind of emotions. “If I had known that things would end up like this today, I should never have gotten involved with you in the first place.”

Zeke chuckled softly, though a brief glint of pain flickered in his eyes.

Due to his carelessness, she was afflicted with a potent, mutated poison, leaving her life hanging in the balance.

He wished he were the one lying here.

Deep in contemplation, he gently extended his hand to stroke her cheek, letting out a soft chuckle. “It's too late for regrets. Our current situation is not that awful anyway. Life's a journey, and having someone who understands your ups and downs by your side is invaluable. Regardless of what lies ahead, I've made my choice—you're the one for me.”

After he finished speaking, he leaned over and planted a kiss on her forehead, then continued, “Go to sleep. I promise you, the Hoffman family will be fine.”

Tears welled up in Juliana's eyes as she asked hoarsely, “Do you find me useless?”

Zeke shook his head with a smile. “Your Uncle Philip has been plotting this for decades. How can you expect to quell him in just a few months? It's mainly due to your current lack of power and experience. I believe that in another year or two, you'll surpass them. Don't dwell on it too much, and make sure to take care of yourself. In a few days, I'll head to Gregan to retrieve the antidote for you.”

Juliana intended to say something, but seeing Zeke's bloodshot eyes, she held back the words she had on her tongue.

Given the current situation, she could no longer afford to be the capricious and rebellious girl she once was, throwing tantrums as she wished.

Under Zeke's gaze, Juliana slowly closed her eyes.

Perhaps, it was the poison, corroding her body and sapping her vitality, that caused her to fall asleep in no time.

After standing up from the edge of the bed, Zeke paced out of the room.

Knowing that Artemis and Bailey were occupied with the affairs of the Tuckers and Hoffmans, he understood he had to single-handedly take on the task of locating Kurt's whereabouts.

Cameron, who had previously left the ward, shared the same thoughts as Zeke. “I've already mobilized the power of the Yablon family, secretly searching for Kurt's whereabouts. Finish up your tasks in Moranta quickly so we can head to Gregan soon.”

Bailey nodded and replied, “Artemis should have a plan to deal with Tucker. Once you locate Kurt, be cautious. He has Blaze and Juliana's lives in his grasp. While his death might not matter, losing our loved ones along with him would be a great loss.”

Cameron responded with a light hum before walking away quickly.

A smile played on Bailey's lips as she observed his hurried departure. She found satisfaction in witnessing Cameron's growing concern for the girl who had made numerous sacrifices for him.

While certain damage had been inflicted, there was still a long journey ahead in life.

Bailey held the belief that Blaze would gradually overcome her sorrow with Cameron's care. I'm eager

to see how things will unfold.

After standing on the steps for a moment, Bailey returned to the main house.

She first went to the bedroom. It was empty, with the bedding neatly folded.

In other words, Artemis did not return home all night.

Thinking of the enormous mess that Artemis had to handle, Bailey could not help but feel a pang of heartache.

“Why are you standing at the door daydreaming? Haven't you slept all night?” A raspy, deep voice echoed from behind.

Bailey instinctively turned around, then threw herself into his arms.

It was only as she approached him that she sensed the weary, travel-worn aura surrounding him. “Where have you been?”

Artemis scooped her up in his arms and began to stride toward the room. “I took a trip to London and had a discussion with the head of Interpol.”

Bailey's eyelid twitched, a flicker of surprise crossing her eyes. Did he make a round trip to London in just one evening?

Seeing the fatigue look on his face, she asked with concern, “Is it something so important that you have to go in the middle of the night?”

Artemis lowered his head and kissed her lips, smiling as he replied, “Are you worried I'm tired? Don't be. I've got enough energy left to express my love for you later.”

Bailey's face flushed slightly, and she shot him a glare. “I'm being serious here, yet you're just making jokes. Tell me honestly, is the head of Interpol your sweetheart? Did you go there to flirt with her?”

She knew that the head of Interpol was a woman with a feminine, sexy, and charming demeanor.

Women were often captivated by a man like Artemis, who radiated mature charm and held a position of power in the world's highest echelons.

At that moment, she felt a sense of helplessness, as if she was on the verge of losing her hold on him.

Artemis bit her cheek hard.

“Ouch.” Bailey punched him lightly in the chest.

Artemis chuckled softly. “I'm completely captivated by your gentle charm. Haven't you noticed it yourself? If you dare doubt me again, I might just have to keep you in bed for ten days, Honey. You better not question my skills.”

His remark left Bailey speechless.

Bailey remained silent, staring straight at him, quietly waiting for him to continue.

Artemis understood that if he had not been honest today, the woman in front of him would never let the

matter rest, and she would not allow him to get close to her intimately.

After a stroll outside, upon returning home, he really wanted to tease her a bit, for the two of them to engage in physical intimacy.

“I struck a deal with Archie. He assisted me in handling Tucker and assumed control of the Hoffman family. In exchange, I'm obliged to aid him in rescuing a death row inmate from Interpol's headquarters. Tonight, I had a meeting with the police station's chief and negotiated the details. We ultimately came to an agreement,” Artemis explained.

Suddenly, he stopped speaking.

There were certain matters he chose to keep from Bailey, concerned that sharing them might unduly worry her.

However, ass an astute individual, Bailey could likely deduce what he was concealing.

Discussing cooperation with Interpol was undoubtedly akin to negotiating with the devil. The price to pay must be quite substantial. “She wants you to carry out a high-risk, precision SSS-level mission, right?”
