Chapter 587

How could he do this? I'm his sister. Even if I did something wrong, shouldn't he try to protect me as my brother? How can he just watch as I get into trouble?

“Get out of the way! Let me go back to Dellmoor. I've been out for a while, and my mother is worried,” Scarlett said.

“Sorry, Ms. Fletcher. You can't go anywhere at the moment. Please return to your room.”

Scarlett was dumbfounded.

She tried to rush past them, but they held her back by the shoulders.

“Take her back to her room and keep an eye on her. Without Mr. Raiden's orders, she mustn't step out of the hotel.”

“Yes, sir.”

Scarlett completely panicked.

It's obvious from this that Raiden has abandoned me. How could he be so heartless to his own biological sister? Does he really want to watch me be executed?

In a private mansion, Sofie was calmly trimming a pine tree with scissors while Zoey was anxiously pacing in the living room.

“Mom, what if the spies leave any traces? What if Scarlett rats me out when she gets caught? Can you

stop trimming that stupid tree and help me think of a way out? I'm really worried that if I get exposed, my fate will be very, very miserable!”

Sofie continued to trim the branches leisurely and said lightly, “You're finally anxious now? Why didn't you use your brain before taking action? If Bailey dies now, what benefit does it bring to you or our plan?”

Zoey stomped her foot fiercely. “I already apologized for that! Can you stop scolding me and tell me how to clean up the mess?”

“There's no need to clean up anything. By the time Bailey finds evidence that Scarlett caused the car accident, there will be news over at the Tarragon headquarters. By then, you just need to go to the headquarters and marry Artemis. What storm can Bailey stir up then?”

“Has there been any news from Tarragon headquarters? Did Yvette succeed? Has Artemis lost his memory?”

Sofie put away her scissors and gave Zoey a cold stare. Frowning, she said, “Do you reckon it's a cakewalk? Do you think we can just talk our way through it and achieve success?”

Zoey was at a loss for words and didn't want to inquire any further, but the thought of Yvette weighed heavily on her mind.

“Mom, do you think Yvette will seize the opportunity and tie the knot with Artemis right away at the Tarragon headquarters?”

Sofie's gaze turned even icier. “Do I look stupid to you? Would I help someone else with their marriage?”

“No, no. I don't mean that. I just...”

“Stop worrying. At least you're using your brain. I have people at the Tarragon headquarters. Once Yvette succeeds, she'll be taken care of, leaving ample opportunities for you.”

Zoey felt overjoyed. Becoming the head of Tarragon wasn't her priority; her ultimate goal was to be the matriarch of the Luther family.

She was determined to thwart whatever Bailey hoped for and make sure she lost it all.

Later that day, Felicity narrowly avoided danger, and her vital signs returned to normal.

The Luther and Chivers families felt a great sense of relief when they heard that.

Even though there was a chance she could become a vegetable, there was still hope for her as long as she was alive.

Bailey learned from Zeke that Scarlett had been planning to run away but was stopped by Raiden and ordered not to leave the hotel.

Upon receiving this news, Bailey fell silent.

Raiden, oh Raiden, do you really care about me so much that you can ignore your own sister's fate for my sake?

“He's using this method to show his stance and tell me that if it is confirmed that Scarlett caused the car accident that led to those numerous deaths and injuries, he will not tolerate it and side with her.”

Zeke patted her shoulder and sighed. “He's someone who knows how to separate their personal life from their public life. He just wants to give those who died an explanation. Don't think too much about it. I'm actually gathering some evidence right now. Once I have everything I need, we'll have this whole thing figured out.”

“Okay.”

“Bailey, bad news! People from the Department of Justice are here and want to invite you to the police station.”

Zayron's shouts came from outside.

Bailey was taken aback and turned to look at Zeke, asking in a daze, “I've been staying in the hospital for the past two days and not causing any trouble. Why are they coming to arrest me again?”

Zeke rubbed his forehead and sighed, “No wonder Artemis said you are a troublemaker and asked me to watch you closely. It turned out to be true. After he comes back, he should marry you quickly and stop you from causing trouble for me.”

Bailey rolled her eyes and muttered, “Call me a troublemaker? Fine. When he comes back, he can do all the household chores.”

Zeke smiled and shook his head. “If I'm not mistaken, the inquiry into your foundation should have

yielded some results by now, and they are probably not very favorable. After all, you have offended the West family and even ruined their only daughter.”

Bailey's face fell. “I've been out of it for the past few days and forgot about that. Since the Department of Justice has sent people here, let's go and check it out together.”

Zeke shook his head and disagreed. “Don't go out. Let me deal with it. Felicity's condition is not particularly stable yet, and you can't go to the station with them.”

Bailey was about to object, but Edmund's voice came from outside. “Yes, I agree with Zeke. Don't go out.”
