Chapter 818 Creating A Poisonous Person
Kurt looked at the woman kneeling at his feet, his eyes filled with disgust.
This fool really thinks she's so capable. Attempt to kill Bailey again? What makes her think she can still get close to
Bailey?
The more he thought about it, the angrier he became.
After all, she just wasted a great opportunity. He did not think twice about setting up for her to enter the winery,
even at the cost of revealing his spies there, but all she was able to do was snap a few pictures and bring them
back.
It was a pity that the special agents he had painstakingly placed to monitor Tucker were wasted just like that.
Their identities were exposed in an effort to support Zoey, and Tucker eliminated them all at once.
If only Bailey had died, the loss of those elites would have been worth something. However, Bailey didn't die
because of that foolish woman who did foolish things, and he ended up suffering a double loss. The next instant, a
slapping sound could be heard.
Kurt raised his hand and forcefully slapped Zoey across the face. With a flick of his wrist, a poisonous pill appeared
at the tip of his fingers.
He planned to poison her and then burn down the bar in a blazing fire.
Zoey's head was knocked to the side, and she caught a glimpse of the pill in his hand.
Realizing that he intended to kill her, she trembled violently. Ignoring the fear and disregarding the eerie aura
emanating from him, she reached out once again and hugged his thigh.
“I'm still useful to you. You can't kill me. At the very least, you can use me to threaten my mother and make her
work for you.”
Kurt seemed to have heard a hilarious joke and burst into hearty laughter.
“Who do you think you are? Your mother is cold-hearted and ruthless. She can betray anyone, including you, her
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtown daughter. Do you think that by capturing you, I can exploit her weakness? The answer is no. In her eyes, you
mean nothing. If I were to kill you, she wouldn't even care.”
Hearing that, Zoey became anxious. He was right. Sofie didn't care even a little bit about her at all. The sole reason
Sofie returned to Hallsbay to help her was to use her to win over Artemis, because by controlling Artemis, Sofie
could achieve her goal of controlling Tarragon.
However, the plan failed, and the reason Sofie rescued her and took her abroad was solely to use her to cause
trouble for Artemis and Bailey.
Now that Artemis was dead and Bailey was incapacitated, she no longer had any value to her mother in terms of
manipulation or exploitation. Abandoning her seemed to be an inevitable course of action for Sofie.
“I hate Bailey. I can help you kill her, so keeping me around is useful. Think of it as raising a loyal dog. What do you
say?”
A hint of a mischievous grin flashed across Kurt's face.
“I'm studying a toxin and just happen to need a vector. Since you don't want to die, why not become my living
specimen for my poison-crafting?”
“No.”
Zoey's pupils constricted slightly, and she suddenly sprang up from the ground, preparing to dash toward the door.
Seeing that, Kurt let out a cold laugh, swiftly executed a leg sweep, and successfully knocked her down.
Zoey's face was filled with fear as she pleaded, “Then you might as well kill me. I beg you. Please just kill me
instead. I don't want to endure that endless torment. Rather than living a life worse than death, I'd prefer to die
instantly.”
Kurt leaned in and whispered in her ear, “You have no choice.”
With that said, he reached out and struck her on the back of her neck, knocking her unconscious in an instant.
She's right about one thing. She hates Bailey and can assist me in killing Bailey. If she were turned into a poisonous
person, not only could she kill Bailey, but she could also be used to kill Sofie, as well as Philip and his son, and then I
could reap the benefits.
The people sent out by Tucker searched all night, but in the end, they still couldn't find Zoey.
Inside the study of the winery, a crisp, crackling sound spread throughout the room. In a fit of rage, Tucker swept
the coffee cup off the table.
“Useless, all of you are useless! You all can't even locate a weak woman? You've been searching all night, and you
still can't find her? What on earth are you all doing?”
His personal bodyguard nervously spoke up.
“We have control over the entire public network in Moranta. As soon as she uploads a photo to the internet, we'll be
able to detect it immediately. In this city, she has no acquaintances other than her mother. We have also deployed
people near Ms. Carr's residence to keep watch. As soon as she appears, we will be able to capture her
immediately.”
Tucker picked up his phone and threw it at his personal bodyguard.
“Idiot! I can only be completely at ease once you've caught the woman, understand?”
“Yes! I'll intensify my investigation today and make sure to uncover where she's hiding.”
Tucker's anger intensified when he heard that. He grabbed the ashtray, wine bottle, and other items from the table
and hurled them toward the bodyguard.
“Why are you making such a big commotion? Are you trying to let my father know that Bailey isn't dead yet?”
“No! That's not what I meant. Please calm down.”
Hearing that, Tucker angrily said, “Secure the public network and keep an eye on Sofie's residence. As soon as Zoey
shows up, kill her immediately.”
“Understood!”
Abruptly, Tucker sprang up from the couch.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmHe was now filled with pent-up anger, desperately needing a place to vent, and “Bailey” was the perfect target.
If the photos weren't posted online, it would be fine. But once they were released, his father would definitely come
over to kill Bailey.
Therefore, before the matter came to light, he decided to take the opportunity to mess with her. Inside the
infirmary of the base, Caridee was leaning against the head of the bed, answering a video call. It was a call from
Felicity.
“Caridee, how has Bailey been lately?” Caridee pouted and felt speechless.
“Mom, you really are biased. I'm severely injured, but you don't even ask about me. The first thing you do is worry
about Bailey.”
She spoke with some difficulty, likely due to the injury on her tongue. Felicity sighed quietly. In just a few days, she
had lost a significant amount of weight.
“Bailey has had a tough life, carrying so much burden on her shoulders. And now, Artemis is...”
As she spoke, Felicity began to shed tears again.
Caridee's expression gradually turned sorrowful, and she said with a heavy heart, “Bailey said that after she kills
Sofie, she will bring Artemis' ashes back to Hallsbay. However, I haven't seen her for two days, and she hasn't come
to visit me either. Maybe something has held her up. Next time she comes to the ward, I'll have her call you. Don't
be too sad. The deceased is not with us anymore. It was Artemis' fate.”
“I know. Initially, I wanted Simon to pick you up, but now the family is in such a mess, and your father can't handle it
all. As a result, Simon needs to step up and take responsibility, so he couldn't make it. After some time, I'll go to
Moranta with your father to bring you and Bailey back, along with Artemis' ashes.”
When Caridee realized that Felicity was about to cry again, she quickly piped up, “All right. It's settled, then. I'm
tired, so I'll hang up now. Please take care of yourself.”
After saying that, she immediately ended the video call. At that moment, the door to the ward burst open, and
Lindsey rushed in from outside. Caridee squinted at her, a look of displeasure slowly forming on her face. Lindsey
was Shaun's biological sister.
