As long as he stayed in Ordano, he served as her pawn, and she currently needed such a person to
deal with Artemis and Bailey.
Often, it's wise to use others to eliminate one's rivals. This way, they can conserve their own strength
and achieve their goals.
However, Black Puma was not a fool either. He immediately exploded, “Faceless, you promised that
after provoking Bailey and Artemis, I could evacuate safely. But now you're telling me I can't leave? Are
you deliberately messing with me? I've been working hard and I haven't gained anything. It was already
tough enough dealing with Artemis and Rebecca. Now, with the addition of a mad Bailey, I fear I might
never get out of Zaewora in this lifetime.”
With a gentle smile, Faceless raised an eyebrow and said, “Things haven't gotten that bad yet, but you
seem to be throwing yourself into chaos already. From what I understand, foreign warships can only
stay in Ordano's territorial waters for five days. If Raiden hasn't caught any suspicious individuals by
then, they must withdraw. Don't worry. I assure you that nothing will happen to you within these five
days. However, you also need to cooperate with my plan and put more pressure on Bailey.”
Black Puma was now caught between a rock and a hard place. Apart from relying on Faceless to
escape, he virtually had no other way out.
Even if he was upset, he didn't dare to disrespect Faceless.
After standing in place, simmering in his frustration for quite some time, he finally gritted his teeth and
asked, “How should I cooperate with you? Faceless, I suggest you be a bit kinder. Don't treat me like a
target.”
Faceless placed a hand on his shoulder, giving him a charming smile. “Don't worry. We're in the same
boat now. We rise together and fall together.”
Black Puma abruptly pushed her away. He was not in the frame of mind to indulge in her flirtatious
behavior at the moment.
“Enough with the chatter. Hurry up and tell me your plan.”
Faceless traced a finger over her alluring red lips, leaning in to whisper a few words into his ear.
Black Puma slightly narrowed his eyes. “Is this really going to work?”
“Don't worry. My strategy is specifically designed to deal with Bailey. It won't fail.”
Black Puma gritted his teeth fiercely, ready to risk it all. “All right. We'll do it your way. I'll get things
arranged right away.”
Meanwhile, Rebecca was unaware that Artemis had been switched out, nor did she know that the
person who had come back with her last night was an imposter.
She was unsure why Bailey was so angry at the hot spring pool. Nothing had actually happened
between her and Artemis.
But Bailey's unreasonable behavior made her feel that she was not worthy of Artemis at all, which only
strengthened her resolve to win back the man she had admired for many years.
Inside the room, Rebecca looked at the man leaning against the head of the bed with a serious
expression and said, “Chief Luther, I've always thought you had good judgment, that you never
misjudged people. But the way Bailey misunderstood you last night was indeed too much. That woman
truly doesn't deserve you. She knew you were seriously injured, yet she didn't bother to ask about you.
Such a woman is not worth your pursuit. To be honest, I had planned to let go. But seeing how you
were willing to harm yourself for her sake last night, I was moved by your deep affection. But Bailey's
indifferent response really irks me. You pour your heart out to her, yet she responds with disregard and
distrust. She doesn't deserve to stand by your side.”
The man on the couch slightly lowered his head, making a concerted effort to regulate his breathing,
hoping she wouldn't detect anything unusual.
“What's between her and me is none of your business. Just take care of yourself. If there's nothing
else, please leave. I'd like to rest for a bit.”
Rebecca felt a sense of dissatisfaction in her heart.
She simply felt that Bailey was not a match for Artemis, and her innate aversion toward Bailey was
particularly intense.
When she and this man had pretended to be a couple to work well together, Bailey had been their
enemy.
She had known this man four or five years earlier than Bailey, yet in the end, he was stolen away from
her. This was a pill too bitter for her to swallow.
“Chief Luther, about Bailey, she—”
Before Rebecca could finish speaking, a respectful voice suddenly came from outside. “Mr. Luther, Mrs.
Luther has arrived.”
It was Ken. He had sneaked back last night, replacing the suicide attacker who had been
impersonating him.
Upon hearing this, Rebecca could no longer stand still. She strode toward the outside, saying, “I'd like
to see what she's doing here. Is it to cause trouble or to apologize?”
The man sitting at the head of the bed tried to move but was stopped by Ken. He lowered his voice and
said, “Mr. Luther wants you to cooperate with Mr. Luther to blow things out of proportion. We must
make the outside world mistakenly believe that you two have had a falling out. You understand what to
do, right?”
The suicide attacker nodded. “Don't worry, Ken. I know what to do.”
In the living room on the first floor, Bailey sat on the couch, raising an eyebrow as she surveyed the
decor.
Cameron spoke up from the side. “I had something to attend to last night, so I couldn't accompany
Artemis to the winery. I didn't expect things to go wrong. Bailey, have you perhaps misunderstood
something? Although Artemis is not particularly likable, he's not detestable either. He doesn't have the
potential to be a jerk. I have a rough idea of what happened at the hot spring pool. He wouldn't have
done something to betray you with Rebecca, would he?”
Bailey looked at him coldly, scoffing. “It's only been a few days and you're already siding with him. Are
my own eyes deceiving me? His past with Rebecca is complicated and hard to explain. It's not unusual
for old lovers to reignite the flame of their past romance. You can't clear his name for him.”
“Indeed, my relationship with Mr. Luther is complicated and hard to explain. We share a history, and it's
this past connection that continues to entwine our lives today. Ms. Jefferson, if you're convinced that
there's something going on between us, then why did you come here? To upset yourself?”
Bailey slowly rose to her feet, her gaze sweeping over her, silently praising her in her heart.
Indeed, she is an extraordinary treasure, possessing a stunning physique. Her vibrant and unrestrained
spirit is reminiscent of a wild rose in full bloom, radiating an infectious vitality.
No wonder Artemis adamantly refuses to discuss the past.
Perhaps they truly shared some beautiful moments together.
Now, it appears that I have become a disruptor of their relationship.
“If you are willing to disclose the history between you and Mr. Luther, Ms. Sutton, I may consider
stepping back and allowing you two to be together. The incident at the hot spring pool has caused me This content © Nôv/elDr(a)m/a.Org.
to reevaluate your relationship.”
With a scornful laugh, Rebecca retorted, “You are not deserving, not deserving of Mr. Luther's love.
Since you are so convinced that something happened between us last night, then go ahead and
continue believing that. It is true that I have feelings for Mr. Luther. It has been almost five years now.
We once spent time together, sharing a deep understanding and harmony. Bailey, you are nothing
more than an outsider who has disrupted our relationship. If you have any sense of propriety, please
leave our world.”
Bailey raised an eyebrow, a glimmer in her eyes.
She couldn't get Artemis to open up, but she wondered if she could get more detailed information from
Rebecca.
“You have feelings for Mr. Luther? But I wonder if Mr. Luther reciprocates those feelings. You
mentioned that you spent time together. I am curious about the nature of that relationship.”
Rebecca seemed to have a realization. A sweet smile suddenly graced her face.
