Olivia stared at her, frowning as she asked, “How can we make her die? Justin won't even let me near the medical base now. We can't get close to her.”

Ever since Olivia revealed her intention to remove Veronique's oxygen mask last time, Justin had strictly ordered his subordinates not to let her enter the medical base. Even if she wanted to do something, she would not have the chance. Scarlett's eyes glinted coldly, and the corner of her lips curled up into a sneer with a hint of sinister intent.

She hinted, “We can't go in, but someone else can. For example, Veronique's son.”

Olivia suddenly became interested and quickly asked, “What do you plan to do?”

Scarlett whispered a few words in her ear. After hearing this, Olivia fell into hesitation and asked with some suspicion, “Will it really work?”

“Don't worry. I've already consulted about this. Cancer patients usually use a certain anticancer drug to prolong their lives. I've instructed someone to develop a drug that counteracts this type of medication,” Scarlett said.

“All you need to do is quietly spray this mist onto Veronique's son, allowing him to carry it into the ward. Once Veronique absorbs it, the cancer medication she's injected with will lose its effectiveness, thus accelerating the spread of cancer cells. It would be difficult for her to recover from this.”

After saying that, Scarlett took a bottle from her bag and handed it to Olivia. Olivia hesitated. This concerned taking someone's life for wealth. If the truth were exposed, she would have to spend the rest of her days in prison. It was not worth getting involved for someone who was about to die.

“Lettie, I...” Upon seeing her hesitation, Scarlett did not wait for her to voice her refusal and said coldly,

“Whether you do it is entirely up to you. Your uncle's case is about to go to trial. Once he's convicted, it will be difficult to overturn the verdict.”

“My dad and mom probably would not take the risk to help him overturn the case either. You need to think it through. If your uncle goes to jail, I'm afraid the Campbell family will never recover from this setback,” Scarlett reminded.

Olivia shuddered, and the hesitation in her eyes gradually faded away. It was crucial for the Campbell family not to encounter any problems. Only when her family becomes powerful can she have confidence within the Xuereb family.

“All right, let's do it. I'll have someone find out where that child is. When I have some free time, I'll meet with him and take the opportunity to act.”

Scarlett responded with silence. In the Tarragon Headquarters. Artemis woke up from his sleep and did not see Bailey. After asking the servants, he found out she had gone to the infirmary.

The infirmary? Why did she go there?


He remembered she woke up retching, and his heart suddenly sank.

Could she be poisoned?

Perhaps symptoms vary in men and women due to having different constitutions. Artemis had vomited blood, but Bailey was only dry heaving.

The more he thought about it, the more anxious he became. After instructing the maid to prepare dinner, he hurriedly left the main hall and headed toward the infirmary. Inside the infirmary.

The doctor performed an ultrasound on her, focusing on her uterus. After the results came out, she hurriedly approached and asked, “So, am I pregnant or not?”

The doctor shook his head and respectfully said, “You are not pregnant, Mrs. Jefferson. There are no signs of a fertilized egg in your uterus.”

I'm not pregnant?

Bailey furrowed her brows.

Then why am I vomiting? Also, why is my menstruation late?

She remembered her relatives' menstruations were always very punctual.

“Are you sure you're not mistaken?”

The doctor quickly knelt on one knee and anxiously said, “Mrs. Jefferson, your pregnancy is crucial to Leader's lineage, and we dare not take it lightly. This result has been obtained after several confirmations. There will absolutely be no issues.”

Bailey rubbed her forehead, feeling a slight headache, and laughed.

“Seems like I'm overthinking things. It's better if I'm not pregnant. I'm actually scared of being pregnant.”

No sooner had her words fallen than the door to the ultrasound room was pushed open, and Artemis hurriedly rushed in. When he saw the doctor kneeling before Bailey, his pupils contracted sharply.

“Bailey, did you get poisoned by Soul Reaper? Have they already confirmed it, and that's why you plan to silence them?” Bailey was taken aback.

What about Soul Reaper?

His suddenness left her utterly bewildered.

“I-I didn't get poisoned by Soul Reaper. Who told you I was poisoned?”

Artemis glared at her and snatched the paper from the doctor's hand.

“You even came here for a CT scan. Aren't you here to check for poison in your body? Bailey, I've been poisoned, but that doesn't make me stupid. What's the point of hiding it from me?”

Bailey suddenly realized there had been a misunderstanding.

“Mr. Luther, could you please look at the list before you say anything? Just see what's written on it, okay?”

Artemis saw her face full of honesty, with no intention of evading his gaze. This made him even more puzzled, and he lowered his head to look at the report in his hand.

Uterus? No signs of a fertilized egg? What is this?
