Super Mommy and Her Triplets

Chapter 799

If that was the case, then things could get tricky. What Bailey feared most was that Veikko might have given Shaun some leverage over him.

If that were the case, Veikko would have no choice but to be led by the nose by Shaun. All because Veikko was overly loyal.

That was both his strength and fatal weakness. A person seeking revenge could not have too many concerns and entanglements. Clearly, Veikko was not someone who could be ruthless.

Veikko still had his conscience, not entirely obliterated by hatred, making it easy for others to grasp his vulnerability.

Artemis seemed to have read Bailey's mind and said faintly, “Regardless of whether Shaun has Veikko's mother's ashes in his hands, with his personality, he'll still make the trip. For someone like Veikko, family affection is the only precious thing in his heart, and he would never allow anyone to trample on his mother's remains. Shaun has precisely grasped Veikko's weakness. That's why he dares to threaten Veikko like this. In my opinion, most likely, Shaun is bluffing.”

Artemis continued, “Perhaps there was a time when Shaun did leave half of the ashes behind for emergencies. But later, when Veikko was caught, the Carter family mistakenly believed Shaun had died. Shaun keeping those ashes would not be of much use anyway. There's a high chance that he instructed someone to dispose of them. Veikko is still too impulsive. Hopefully, this incident will serve as a lesson for him.”

Bailey remained silent. At the Saviors branch, after receiving a phone call from Connie, Caridee learned that a devastating fire had broken out, causing severe damage and injuring several children.

She could not sit still after hearing the news.

Sunray Welfare Center was an institution Caridee had been sponsoring all along.

Caridee knew all the children inside, and every time she went to the welfare center, those innocent and lovely little ones would gather around her, addressing her, “Caridee!”

Now that the welfare center had just experienced a fire, they had just gone through a life-and-death ordeal. They must be really terrified and anxious right now. Caridee felt she had to go there in person regardless of whether she could help. She wanted to be by their side.

“Alright, Ms. Hentlor, I got it. Have the teachers calm the children first, and I'll be right there.”

After hanging up the phone, Caridee casually put on an overcoat and went out. The entire branch had already been taken care of by Mindy.

So when Caridee left, her path was smooth and unobstructed. When Caridee encountered a housekeeper midway, she tried to inquire about Veikko's whereabouts.

However, the other party informed that Veikko was not around, and his whereabouts were unknown. Caridee had no choice but to give up.

She borrowed a car and left the branch alone. As soon as Caridee left the branch, Mindy trailed her by car.

Caridee, you can't escape this time. Mr. Carter was injured so severely because of you. Now he's

infuriated. Just obediently become his tool for venting and let him release his frustrations properly. Good luck to you!

Once the car entered the boulevard, Mindy spoke into her wireless earpiece, “Caridee is heading towards the welfare center. Prepare to take action at any moment.”

“Noted, Mindy. Don't worry. We'll definitely handle this matter properly. It's best that you don't show yourself. Otherwise, you'll be in trouble if Mr. Veikko traces it back to you.”

“Okay! After capturing her, take her to Xemrich. I'll be waiting for you on Wind Street in Xemrich.”

“Alright.”

In the Derport area, Veikko drove the car and tried to take hidden routes.

After circling the small lanes, he found a private airport. From a distance, Veikko observed the situation inside and found that there were indeed quite a few people. If a hail of bullets came at once, Veikko might be unable to escape that day.

That meant he would lose his life right there. In order to protect his mother's ashes from being desecrated by enemies, Veikko had no choice but to risk his life. With that thought in mind, Veikko began assembling the gun barrel.

Once everything was prepared, he pushed the door open and slipped outside.

Just as Veikko was about to climb over the wall to enter the airport, a figure suddenly appeared before

his eyes. Veikko instinctively struck out. However, upon catching a whiff of the familiar scent, he quickly reined in his strength.

Pop!

Bailey slapped Veikko fiercely across the face. Veikko lowered his head, remaining silent without saying a word.

“Do you know where you went wrong?”

Veikko tugged at the corner of his mouth and replied defiantly, “I don't think I'm wrong because I do it for my mother. A person can be cold-blooded and heartless but can't disown their own family.”

With another clear pop sound, Bailey raised her arm and slapped Veikko on the face once more. “Do you know what did you do wrongly?” Veikko frowned, repeating what he had just said, and added at the end,

“If you're in my situation, you'll make the same choice.”

Bailey was about to slap Veikko again, but Artemis, who was standing at the side, stopped her.

“Your slap is quite loud. Be careful not to startle the people inside. If you have something to say, just speak clearly and don't beat around the bush.”

Bailey glared at Artemis, then turned to Veikko with a ruthless face, gritted her teeth, and commented, “You're right. If I were in your situation today, I would definitely do the same. But before I take action, I'll send someone to investigate. I'll only proceed to do what I need to do once the situation is confirmed to

avoid suffering from double losses. I don't want to end up not getting the ashes and getting myself killed too.”

Veikko was taken aback, turned his head to look at Bailey, and asked awkwardly, “What do you mean by that?”

“It means exactly what you think. I mobilized the forces of Tarragon and the Saviors to investigate but found no evidence of Shaun ordering someone to retrieve anything from the Carter family and bring it to Moranta. Plus, this private airport belongs to an earl of Ustrana's royal family. You barged in with a gun. By sheer luck, you're still alive now. But you've managed to offend the entire royal family.”

Veikko's eyes revealed a hint of astonishment. After being taught a lesson by Bailey, Veikko gradually calmed down.

This woman hit me, not because I fought desperately for my mother's ashes, but because I lost my sense of propriety and took action without a detailed investigation.

“So this is the private airport of an earl? Why did Shaun lead me here? To have me break in and use their hands to get rid of me?”

Bailey's face darkened, and she asked coldly, “What about Caridee? When you left, did you make sure she was in a safe place?”

Veikko was momentarily stunned and frowned. When Veikko came out, he instructed his bodyguard to watch closely on Caridee. Plus, she was in the Saviors branch. She should be fine.

“I've Caridee to settle down in the Saviors branch, and Charlie is watching over her. There shouldn't be

any problems.”

“Nothing will go wrong?” Bailey's expression suddenly turned unpleasant, and even her gaze became somewhat fierce.

“You better confirm it first before telling me this. I'm afraid you'll end up embarrassing yourself.” Veikko was getting a little anxious. Considering Shaun's cunning moves, he always felt the latter had an ulterior motive. Content rights by NôvelDr//ama.Org.

Could that damn thing possibly be...

Upon thinking of that, Veikko quickly took out his phone and dialed Charlie's phone number.

“Hello, the number you have dialed is currently unavailable. Please try again later.”

Listening to the formulaic female voice on the phone, Veikko's heart suddenly sank. He held onto his phone tightly. Bailey could tell from his expression that the phone call did not go through.

“You've been lured away from your base. This is a trap. Shaun is not after your life, but Caridee's.”
