Chapter 333

Bailey blinked, and a mysterious look crept into her eyes.

“Not telling you.”

Edmund laughed quietly at that. As he watched her cheeky expression, his gaze became as soft as the moonlight of the night.

“Can I really not know about it?”

Bailey chuckled softly. “I'm just messing with you. I'm going to be on the navy battleship.”

Edmund arched a brow. After a moment of confusion, he gradually realized what Bailey meant, and he laughed. “The son of the Fletcher family seems easy to convince. You're not in the army, but he's letting you on the battleship. That's risky of him to do so. Isn't he afraid that he would be in hot water if Artemis found out about this?”

“Who cares? I don't mind as long as I can get out of Hallsbay. It's true that Artemis is capable, but he wouldn't dare to intercept a battleship. He has no choice but to watch me leave this time.”

Meanwhile, Artemis was answering a call by the window in the Luther residence study.

“Mr. Luther, there's nothing unusual at the three exits for the sea, the land, and the air. Are you sure that Ms. Jefferson will use these methods to leave even when she knows that you're going to intercept her?”

Artemis, who was standing in the corner where no lights illuminated his face, uttered, “No.”

After a long silence, Ken recovered from his speechlessness and said, “If it's a no, why are you still asking us to guard the place? Isn't that pointless?”

Artemis quirked his brows. “If you don't guard the exits, she'll be able to leave without needing to sneak out.”

Ken inhaled sharply. Right.

“By the way, my subordinates informed me earlier that Ms. Jefferson has gone to the seaside mansion, but she didn't bring anyone out of there. After that, she went to the Chivers residence and has yet to come out until now.”
