Super Mommy and Her Triplets

Chapter 929 Courting Death

Artemis couldn't help but give a bitter smile.

Even if he wanted to hide it, there was a good chance he wouldn't be able to.

Because this woman was truly brilliant.

“Indeed, a massive arms trafficking group has emerged in Zaewora. The international police are keen on dismantling it, but they lack the strength, and want me to step in to eradicate this force.”

After hearing this, Bailey's elegant eyebrows furrowed tightly.

Given that they are arms dealers, they would undoubtedly have the most advanced equipment at their disposal. If Artemis gets involved with this, there's a high chance that...

“If my memory serves me right, Tarragon has signed a peace agreement with various international forces. If you use Tarragon to suppress that trading group, it would be considered a breach of contract, which could provoke retaliation from various forces. But if you don't utilize the power of Tarragon, then you can only deploy the Luther family's forces. Artemis, have you lost your mind? How can the Luther family get involved in this—”

Before she could finish, Artemis interrupted her, “I will not activate Tarragon, nor will I use the Luther family's forces. Don't worry, I have other tricks up my sleeve. Dealing with a trafficking group isn't a big deal.”

The look in Bailey's eyes became complex.

She always knew this man had other identities, but she didn't expect that one of his identities could overpower Interpol.

“Artemis, I...”

Artemis didn't give her a chance to speak, carrying her straight toward the direction of the bathroom.

“Honey, I miss you terribly right now. All I want is to make love to you. Can we talk about everything else after we've taken care of what's important?”

Bailey grew speechless.

When had he ever not shown his love for her? He was making it seem as if she had been stringing him along all this time.

“No matter what forces you employ, you're only putting yourself in danger, Artemis. You shouldn't have been so impulsive. Archie was at his wit's end. That's why he targeted you. But you... You just walked right into his trap despite having your eyes wide open.”

Artemis laughed nonchalantly and raised an eyebrow, saying, “The reason I agreed to help the international police dismantle that trafficking group in Zaewora is because... the person previously in charge of this task was Chanaean. I have some acquaintance with this person. I agreed to help, so consider this as a favor for a friend.”

“But...”

“Hush now. No matter how pressing the matter, let's first bask in our love-making before we discuss it.”

Bailey curled up in his arms, letting him carry her into the bathroom to fuss over her.

However, more and more emotions grew in her. Issues with Philip and Wendy had been resolved. All she wanted was to return to Hallsbay with him and live a peaceful life.

But once they get involved in the struggle between the legal and illegal forces, it would be very difficult for them to withdraw unscathed.

“If you get distracted again, I'll give you a hard time.”

The warning from Artemis echoed in her ears, causing Bailey to tremble all over in fear.

She was not usually afraid of Artemis, but when they made love, she was frightened.

The man was simply a beast when he set his mind to the deed.

At nine o'clock in the morning, in a countryside resort, Eunice stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling window, taking a call.

It was a call from Aisley.

“Eunice, I killed Catherine's daughter last night, and now she's overwhelmed with grief. Isn't it about time you fulfilled your promise to kill her, especially now when she's utterly exhausted?”

After hearing this, Eunice's eyes narrowed slightly.

Catherine's daughter is dead, and that quickly too?

Hearing her silence, Aisley continued, “Eunice, what are you still hesitating for? Hurry up and get started. Once Catherine is out of the picture, no one will compete with you for the inheritance. And I get to keep the man I love. It's a win-win situation.”

Eunice remained silent, walking over to the bedside table. She opened the drawer and took out a brocade box.

The lid was lifted, revealing a smooth jade stone resting inside.

After staring at the jade stone for a moment, she couldn't help but murmur, “The stone isn't shining anymore. Could it be that the parasite king is really dead?”

Indeed, with this stone in her hand, she could sense the parasite king within Catherine's daughter's body.

If the parasite king was still alive, the jade would glow. If the parasite king was dead, the light on the jade would fade away.

Now, the stone was no longer glowing, so the parasite king was certainly dead. Once the parasite king was dead, being the host, the girl was undoubtedly destined to die as well.

“Is she really dead?”

The reason she collaborated with Matilda and Aisley was to use them to eliminate Catherine's daughter.

Because if she were to go head-to-head with Catherine, she wouldn't stand a chance against her.

Her art of perfumery was simply not as impressive as Catherine's.

So, her only option was to kill Catherine's daughter, hoping to defeat her while she was overwhelmed with grief. This strategy, she believed, gave her a sixty percent chance of success.

Now that the little troublemaker was dead and Catherine was injured, it was the perfect time for her to make her move.

“All right, I got it. I'll head to the research base this afternoon. Give me the topographic map of that area. I'll set the route.”

Aisley responded, “All right, I'll start drawing right away. Eunice, everything hinges on this moment. You must not drop the ball, otherwise, when Catherine recovers, she will definitely retaliate against you like mad.”

Eunice didn't respond; she simply ended the call.

She stared intently at the dull jade stone in the brocade box, her eyes radiating a chilling light.

Let's put an end to predestined fate today.

At the same moment, in the medical research base, Aisley tossed her phone onto the desk, her face

impassive as she said to Catherine, “My task is done. I hope you'll fulfill your promise, Ms. Rogers, in slaying Eunice and letting her accompany me to the afterlife.”

Catherine remained silent, turning her head to look at Simon.

Simon waved his hand, signaling the bodyguards on either side to escort Aisley away.

After she left, Simon turned to look at Catherine, and asked, “Are you confident you can beat Eunice? If you're not confident, don't act rashly. Wait until we get to Gregan, then we'll deal with her properly there.”

A cold, piercing look suddenly glowed in Catherine's usually gentle eyes.

“She can scheme against me, harm me in secret, but she should never have involved Luna. She has crossed my bottom line. Since she's hell-bent on courting death, I'll oblige her. Unless something unexpected happens, today will be her end.”

Simon was silent, feeling stunned by the aggressive demeanor Catherine displayed.

This woman was always so aloof and devoid of sorrow and joy. He never expected her to be truly terrifying in her moment of anger.

Sure enough, women were not to be trifled with.

Ten o'clock in the morning, after several hours of making love, Artemis and Bailey nestled together, leaning against the head of the bed. NôvelDrama.Org holds this content.

Artemis asked in a hushed voice, “Aren't you going to sleep? You look really tired.”

Bailey was huffing and puffy, however.

She had already told him that there were important matters to deal with later in the day and asked him to take it easy. But he had spent the whole morning making love to her.

How could he not know why she was so exhausted?

“Don't talk to me. I don't want to hear your voice right now.”

Artemis chuckled. “All right, let's not talk then. Let me make love to you once more.”

Before he could finish speaking, Bailey, like a startled rabbit, darted out of his arms in a flash.

In the next moment, she rolled off the bed due to her body's lack of strength, collapsing onto the carpet.

Artemis reached out to pull her toward him, but she pushed him away.

“Stay away from me.”
