Chapter 592 Bad End
“You idiot! I've been dismissed from my position and am now under investigation because of your crap idea. Listen
carefully. I've been sacked, and I'm now under investigation. Just wait. You'll be downgraded from the mayor's
daughter to a down-and-out pretty soon,” Jacques snarled.
When she heard what Jacques said, Laura gasped in shock and stumbled backward before falling onto the couch.
“We're doomed. Our family is done for. What are we going to do?”
Jacques was dejected. He no longer cared about his image as he felt his knees buckle and fell butt-first onto the
ground.
“What else can we do? Just wait to serve jail time. I fabricated evidence to slander Bailey. I'll be put behind bars
once they find out about it.”
Laura started crying.
Chloe turned pale, unable to accept the bombshell her father had just dropped.
I thought I was awaiting the good news of Bailey going to jail. I didn't expect to receive this news from Dad instead.
Is this how it feels to fall from heaven to hell?
“In other words, you're saying I can't do anything but swallow my pride and watch in hatred as Bailey goes on with
her bright future? She set a trap and framed me, which made me lose my innocence and become the
laughingstock of the entire upper-class society! Yet you won't help me make her pay for what she did?”
Laura staggered as she made her way over and grabbed Chloe's arms. Sobbing, she said, “Admit it. Bailey is too
smart and capable. Even your father can't do anything to her, much less you.”
“No!” Chloe shrugged out of Laura's grip and yelled, “I won't let her live a good life! I want the people who harmed
me to pay me back tenfold! Since I'm having a hard time now, Bailey shouldn't be living happily. Either we fight to
the death or perish together. If I don't get to live anymore, then she shouldn't think of living her life in peace, either.
Even if I die, I'll drag her to hell with me!”
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtWith that, she stumbled out the door.
Laura wanted to go after her, but Jacques grabbed her arm and stopped her.
“Ignore her. Let her be crazy. If it weren't for her, I wouldn't have offended Bailey and faced such a consequence.”
Laura was furious. Hearing her husband telling her to ignore their daughter, she yelled, “Do you really think you
offended Bailey because of our daughter? Jacques, don't paint yourself to be such a great person. If you didn't have
thoughts of getting promoted, you wouldn't have buttered up to Howard and helped him to fabricate evidence.”
A loud slap echoed in the air.
Jacques had slapped Laura across the face. “You stupid b*tch! Weren't you the one who threw a tantrum and
begged me to help your daughter get revenge? Now that something bad has happened, you're blaming everything
on me?”
“You hit me... Jacques, how dare you f*cking hit me!”
In the next moment, Laura lunged at him and scratched his face.
Following that, screams, insults, and crying echoed throughout the West residence.
Howard immediately called Tamara when he returned to his residence.
He told her about the situation at Hallsbay, but the other party coldly said, “When did I ask you to help me deal with
Bailey? Do you know what crime you commit by slandering the first lady?”
When Howard heard that, his grip on his phone loosened, and the device fell to the ground with a thud.
It took him a while to regain his senses, but when he did, he quickly picked up his phone from the ground and dialed
back the number. However, Tamara had blocked him.
He then dialed Scarlett's number but could not contact her either.
It was then that Howard realized the Fletcher family had abandoned him.
Can I fight back? No, I can't!
It did not matter that he had no evidence the daughter of the Fletcher family had ordered him to do what he did.
Even if he did have evidence, he could not defeat the family.
It was the Fletcher family. They prided themselves on being at the top. What can a nobody like me do to shake their
position?
Hence, his fate was sealed the moment he was exposed.
Raiden pushed the door open to a suite in a hotel. His expression darkened when he saw Scarlett sitting on the
couch with a dazed look.
“It's already come down to this. Are you still not going to admit to your actions?”
Raiden's sudden question snapped Scarlett out of her daydream.
She quickly got up and made her way toward Raiden, grabbing his arm in anxiety. “Raiden, are you here to bring
me back to Dellmoor?”
Raiden shot her a hard look and casually replied, “Go and turn yourself in. Try to ask for forgiveness, and your life
may be spared. Although you'll live out your days in jail, at least you wouldn't die at such a young age.”
Scarlett widened her eyes and glared at him in disbelief. “Turn myself in? And stay in jail forever? Raiden, I'm your
sister! Your biological sister, to be exact. How can you say such a thing?”
“What should I say then? What should I do? Should I forgive you, the main culprit? Should I also let those five dead
people die in vain?”
In an instant, Scarlett let go of his arm and stared at him with tear-filled eyes. “Raiden, you'd rather abandon me
for Bailey. You have such a deep affection for her, but what a pity. She's a tainted flower. She's nothing but a wh*re
that Artemis lost interest in! Don't ever think in this life that you'll—”
Slap! A loud and crisp slap echoed in the air.
Raiden did not hold back as he slapped her, causing her to stumble and bump into a cabinet.
“In the past, although you were spoiled and willful, you were not evil. Yet in just half a year, you became vicious as
your heart gradually turned rotten. It's unfortunate for the Fletcher family to have a daughter like you. If you refuse
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmto come to your senses, then even Dad won't be able to protect you.”
Scarlett held her cheek and smirked before laughing crazily. “I am Lady Scarlett of Chanaea! My father is the leader
of the country, the most powerful man. Who would dare to do anything to me? Not to mention, this car accident
has nothing to do with me. Who would accuse me of being the mastermind behind it?”
Raiden shook his head as he made his way to the door. “I shouldn't have come here. You're a lost cause. Since you
refuse to return to your senses, I have nothing else to say. You should wait for the results of the investigation. If the
court decides to sentence you to death, you must accept your fate. No one will be able to save you.”
With that, he exited the room.
Scarlett wanted to go after him, but the two bodyguards standing at the door blocked her.
She stood at the door and yelled, “I've been sickly since I was young. Mom and Dad have always treated me like a
precious treasure. If I die, they'll carry wounds in their hearts that will never heal. Plus, they'll loathe Bailey and do
whatever they can to destroy her.”
Raiden stopped in his tracks. A few moments of silence passed before he casually said, “Dad can see the bigger
picture. If he can accommodate the needs of the country, then he'll also be able to accommodate Bailey. You're on
your own.”
Scarlett's knees buckled, and she fell to the ground.
Am I doomed? Would Mom and Dad watch me die? No, of course, they won't! As long as I never admit to it, no one
will be able to determine my crimes.
In a private mansion in the suburbs, Zoey was sitting on the couch. She gritted her teeth so hard that her jaw
creaking could be heard. It was obvious that she was furious.
“Scarlett and the West family failed. Shirley is half-dead, and Rhonda has become a fool. Everyone who was at odds
with Bailey ended up facing dire consequences. I can't believe none of them was able to defeat Bailey. How
useless!”
Sofie sipped her coffee before saying, “Perhaps it's not yet time for her to die, but the right time will come soon.
You can use Artemis to kill Bailey when Yvette succeeds in her task. After all, it'll hurt more to die in the arms of the
person you love.”
