Chapter 465

“Yeah, she's gone. I have someone monitoring the Hoffman family at all times, so I can confirm that they have left Hallsbay.”

Shirley clenched her teeth and suppressed her resentment. “All right, I'll take your word for it.”

“That's more like it!”

After leaving the resort, Artemis and Bailey were on their way back to the medical base when they received a call from Felicity.

Bailey got so mad when she heard about the fire at Century Hotel that she nearly cursed on the spot.

There's no need for guesses or investigations. It's freaking obvious that Zayron did this!

“We're going to the hotel.”

Artemis kept one hand on the steering wheel and rubbed his forehead with the other. “Those kids might've taken things a little too far, but they mean well. I don't think Shirley is worthy of being with Zeke either.”

Bailey shot him an icy-cold glare, prompting him to keep his opinions to himself.

“All right, I'll take you to the hotel,” he said as he turned the car around and started driving toward the city.

Bailey shot him a glance and asked helplessly, “Artemis, your sons have gotten themselves into huge trouble. Aren't you even the slightest bit mad at them? They could've gotten people killed! Who's going to be held responsible if that happens?”

Artemis let out a wry chuckle when he heard that.

As if getting mad at them is going to do me any good! It's not like there's anything I can do about those two brats! If I were to get mad at them every time they cause trouble, it wouldn't be long before I die of a stroke!

“It's fine. They're still kids, so they should try to have fun while they can. One day, I won't be able to protect them anymore. When that time comes, they will have to handle everything on their own. Besides, being a little haughty will give them an edge over the other kids.”
