Chapter 156
After Veronique made the announcement, the king of Eskaria also published an announcement on his
social media platform. He confirmed Veronique's claim and told the world that Anonymous was the one
who had performed the craniotomy on him.
According to him, he had never told the public about it because Anonymous wasn't motivated by
money and fame. Also, she didn't want to attract people's attention. In order to grant her wish, the royal
family of Eskaria didn't make any clarification when the others claimed that Veronique was the one who
had performed the surgery.
Before he ended his announcement, he had apologized to the world for telling a white lie.
Since the king of Eskaria and Veronique made the announcements one after another, it was very
convincing.
However, the netizens were puzzled as to why these two individuals had suddenly made such
announcements.
Didn't they say Anonymous doesn't like the spotlight? What they're doing now is the exact opposite of
what they had agreed to do back then, no?
In the visiting room, Veronique told Bailey about what was happening.
“Bay, I'm sorry. I've taken the initiative and exposed the truth about what happened three years ago.
After I made the announcement, the king of Eskaria contacted me. When he found out you were in
trouble, he also told the public that Anonymous had performed the craniotomy on him back then.”
Bailey couldn't help but laugh. She then sighed and held her forehead helplessly. “I just wanted a
peaceful life as a commoner. Is that too much to ask for? Since I was known as Snowflake, my life has
been so difficult. Now that my identity as Anonymous has been exposed, I dare not to imagine what my
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtlife will be like in the future.”
Veronique snickered and joked, “Well, it seems like God doesn't want you to lead a carefree life! Just
accept your fate, okay? I've already contacted Juliana and told her to bring your medical certificates
here. Tomorrow, tell the authorities everything and get out of this place. This is not a place a big shot
like you should be at.”
Bailey laughed and shook her head. “Is there no other way? I really don't want to be known to the
public as Anonymous. I'm a doctor, and my mission is to save people. I don't want it to be something I
brag about. Besides, I don't want to use the name of Anonymous to gain fame again.”
Veronique reached out her hand to hold Bailey's hand. In a helpless tone, she said, “Mrs. Luther is
rather relentless. Even Artemis is planning on sitting idly and enjoying the show. It doesn't seem like
he's bothered by how you're going to embarrass his mother. Since that's the case, why should you
keep treating that old woman with respect? If anything, I think you should just give her a slap in the
face so that she won't dare to act all arrogant as she is now.”
Upon hearing that, Bailey lazed on the desk and smiled wryly. “You're right. She's not going to let me
go. Besides exposing my identity as Anonymous, I don't think there's anything else I can do. The thing
is, Old Mr. Chivers needs medical attention as soon as possible. Otherwise, I would've just stayed here
for a while and kept Mrs. Luther happy for a few more days. No matter what, she's still Zayron and
Susan's grandma.”
Veronique pursed her lips and snickered silently.
It seems like no matter what, evil still triumphs over good. When she was abroad, no one could
manage to force her to expose her hidden identities. But after she is back in Hallsbay, the
unreasonable woman in the Luther family has managed to corner her. I guess only Mrs. Luther, in the
whole of Hallsbay, is able to do that.
Meanwhile, two men were sitting on a couch in a mansion in the suburbs. One of the men was in his
forties, and the other man was in his early twenties.
The younger man looked at the older man and hesitated for a while before asking, “Master, how did
you come to such a conclusion?”
Cadence swirled the wine in his wineglass and answered slowly, “When I bumped into Ms. Bailey a few
days ago, I felt as if I've met her before. In fact, she looked rather familiar. However, I couldn't recall
who she was. Judging from what Veronique and the king of Eskaria did today, Anonymous must've
landed in hot water, and they're trying to help her out of her predicament by bringing up her past
contributions. Coincidentally, Ms. Bailey was sent to jail today. Could there be such a coincidence?”
The younger man was dumbstruck.
Cadence finished the wine in his wineglass and uttered firmly, “Bailey is Anonymous, and Anonymous
is Bailey. Anonymous is the only person who is brave enough to say that there's a fifty percent chance
of removing a tumor attached to the central nervous system.”
Upon saying that, he tightened his grip and broke the glass in his hand.
“Ha! What a small world. If it had not been for her, I would've been the person who inherited Cataleya's
skillsets, and I would've become a renowned figure in the medical field. That woman crushed my hope
of rising to the top. I've been yearning for a chance for revenge. Finally, I can do that,” Cadence said.
The younger man frowned and asked, “What are you planning to do, Master? Edmund and Artemis are
protecting Ms. Bailey. If you try to harm her, you won't stand a chance. We should remain patient and
wait for the right opportunity, no?”
“The right opportunity?” Cadence smiled. “This is the perfect opportunity. What do you think will happen
to her if she screws up Old Mr. Chivers' operation? What if Old Mr. Chivers dies on the operating table?
Do you have any idea what will happen to her?”
“Now, everyone is paying close attention to Old Mr. Chivers' condition. If something goes wrong during
the surgery and Old Mr. Chivers dies, her reputation in the medical field will be ruined. However,
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmMaster, it's so hard to infiltrate the Chivers family's infirmary.”
Cadence's eyes were filled with murderous intent when he replied casually, “Bailey is surely going to be
the one who's operating on Old Mr. Chivers. If she succeeds, who do you think will be on the losing
end?”
“Are you saying that...”
“Since we have such a good pawn in our hands, why don't we use it to our full advantage?”
The younger man went silent.
The next day, the police gave all the information regarding Bailey's alleged involvement in the illegal
medical procedure to the court.
The court wasn't keen on taking up the case because there were too many rumors going around the
case. Hence, no one could tell what was truly hidden beneath. Indeed, it was a tricky case.
However, the plaintiff was the matriarch of the Luther family, so no one could turn it down.
When the media learned that the police had handed over the case to the court, the content of the
published newspapers and magazines became more and more absurd and presumptuous. Although
the court hadn't given a verdict yet, they all believed that was the end of Bailey. That belief
subsequently influenced the public's opinion.
Hence, many were quick to label Bailey as arrogant, greedy, and insolent.
At the same time, Felicity was secretly manipulating the situation. She had instructed the court to
sentence Bailey to several years in prison.
Since the court had enough evidence, they had gone along with Felicity's recommendation.
However, right when everyone was waiting to see Bailey getting sent to jail, the royal family of Eskaria
made another announcement. They declared that when Bailey operated on the king of Eskaria three
years ago, she was known as Anonymous. At that time, she had revealed the required medical
documents before performing the operation on the king of Eskaria.
Upon receiving the news, all people shared the same thought. Bailey? Anonymous? Bailey was known
as Anonymous? W-What does that mean?
