Chapter 318

Her tone was chilly with a hint of defiance.

She had no intention of provoking an official's son.

Raiden was startled as if he had seen through her thoughts. “You're right. I have overstepped my bounds,” he said with a chuckle. “All right, then. If you don't win the award, I will disclose your identity as Spook to the public and have the people from the cyberspace administration department send you to prison.”

Bailey grinned and was about to speak when the office door swung open to admit Justin.

“I have something urgent to speak with you about. Is this a good time?”

Bailey raised an eyebrow and, upon further thought, inferred that he came to discuss Veronique's affairs.

She stood up from the swivel chair. “It is. Let's chat in the room next door.”

“Was it you who'd loaded the data into the computer at City Hall?” Justin began brusquely as soon as he took a seat.

Bailey smiled. “Zayron used my account to do it,” she affirmed bluntly. “I not only knew about it but also condoned it.”

Justin's pupils contracted violently. “Zephyr is in urgent need of a bone marrow transplant,” he said, lowering his voice, “and Scarlett has promised to donate her bone marrow for the child. Such an incident has ruined the plan to obtain the...”

He suddenly stopped talking at the mention of the subject to squint at Bailey. “Something's not right,” he muttered through gritted teeth. “You regard Zephyr as your son. How could you just watch Zayron mess things up? Could you have found another way to save Zephyr?”

Bailey smiled enigmatically. “You're not as stupid as I thought,” she teased. “Yes, we do have another way, but I can't tell you how for the time being.”

Justin opened his mouth with the intent of asking further, but Bailey waved her hand to stop him. “Go home and appease Scarlett. Keep her from making trouble, or Rose will be the end of her.”

Justin pursed his lips. “Are you sure you can save Zephyr without Scarlett donating her bone marrow?” he asked seriously after a moment of silence.

Bailey responded with another question. “Is that important?”
