Chapter 655 Juliana Is Poisoned

Bailey chuckled.

“Ms. Sullivan, one has to be sincere and polite when negotiating. I'm afraid this deal is going nowhere when you demanded my dead body right off the bat.”

In a low voice, Yvette muttered, “You have a problem with that? Do you really think I won't kill them? You shouldn't be too confident, or you will suffer dire consequences.”

The grin on Bailey's face widened while a hint of ridicule was audible in her tone. “Will you gain anything from killing them? I don't think so. I doubt you would do such a meaningless thing, right, Ms. Sullivan? If you would, it only means I have overestimated you.”

The sound of Yvette gritting her teeth in exasperation came from the other end of the line.

She probably didn't expect Bailey to behave so arrogantly under such circumstances.

Why? I have her weakness tightly in my grasp. Isn't she supposed to humble herself and beg me? Who does she think she is? How dare she behave so condescendingly?

“Bailey, you'd better not be so arrogant. All I have to do is issue an order to get them both killed.”

Bailey couldn't help snickering.

Was I being too arrogant? I'm merely stating the facts.

“I know you can kill them since they're currently in your hands. I'm not doubting your capabilities. I'm just trying to say that killing them now won't benefit you in any way. All right, that's enough. Let's stop beating around the bush. You know that it's impossible for me to hand myself over to you on a silver platter, and I'm aware you won't kill them just like that, too. After all, they are your only bargaining chip for now. Let's talk it out like grown-ups and come up with a solution that we both could accept.”

“All right. Since you said so, I will cut to the chase. Come alone to the abandoned factory in the eastern suburbs fifty miles away from the city three days later. Then, I will let them go. However, if you don't show up or bring a group of people with you, mark my words, I will show no mercy and kill them immediately.”
