Chapter 699 Total Annihilation

Bailey simply rolled her eyes at him.

The surface of the sea is filled with frozen ice in this weather. Does he really think I'm made of steel? Even if we set that aside, there's no way I can swim to the ship in my current condition. This kid is way too naive.

“Forget it. It seems that her time hasn't come yet. If God wants to keep her alive, going against His will would just land me in trouble.”

“Bailey, the wind in strong outside here. Why don't we go back down?”

When a thought struck Bailey, she asked the man in black, “I'm sure you have checked the surveillance feeds. Did you see my fa—I mean Old Mr. Shurmer?”

The man shook his head as he replied, “They destroyed the surveillance cameras before they left. If you really want to know, you'll have to fix the system first.”

Bailey began walking toward the stairs. “Bring me to the surveillance room. I need to be certain if Sofie took Old Mr. Shurmer with her.”

It would be big trouble if she did. Not only would our previous agreement be annulled, but she would also use that old fogey to blackmail us into accepting her demands. By then, she would have to power to manipulate us at will.

When she saw both men panting at the door, Bailey broke into an indiscernible smile. “How does it feel to be tricked? This is the price you have to pay.”

Artemis walked up to her and asked, “What are you looking at? Are you trying to find out who's helping Sofie behind the scenes?”
