Chapter 901 Fallen Into The Snake Pit
Zoey began to sneer.
Indeed, a malicious woman like her, always scheming against others, would naturally worry about
being schemed against in return. It's always wise to keep a card up one's sleeve.

“Oh, by the way, your lover, Damien, is still locked up in the other hidden room upstairs. Aren't you
planning to rescue him?”
Sofie sneered, “Why keep a dog that's no longer of any use? Moreover, if saving a person involves
risking my life, it's even more unlikely for me to do it.”
Zoey clicked her tongue.
How does that saying go again? A woman can be the most ruthless in the room if that's what she
wants. It couldn't be better to describe this woman. Damien, that old fellow, somehow managed to pull
her out from Tarragon Headquarters. He saved her life, and now she says she can just abandon him
without giving it a shred, no, not even half a shred of consideration. So to expect this woman to
consider any mother-daughter affection is purely a joke. ConTEent bel0ngs to Nôv(e)lD/rama(.)Org .
“The exit is not far ahead. Where are we going to stay once we get out? Have you made any
arrangements? That scoundrel Kurt is after the confidential document in my possession, so he won't let
us off the hook. If we're not careful, we could easily fall into his hands again. If that happens, both of us
will be in trouble. So you'd better find a hidden place to hide, otherwise, we'll have no good outcomes.”
Zoey let out a cold laugh, her voice light and airy. “Rest assured. Since I've decided to defy him, it
means I've already thought of a way out.”
“That's good.”
After the two emerged from the secret passage, they found themselves in a chilling forest.
Sofie extended her hand, pointing to several roads, and began to speak, “This one leads to Derport,
this one to Xemrich, this one to Newcove, and this one to Bruiville. We'll head in the direction of
wherever you've arranged for us to stay. We're in the forest so we can't mix up the directions.”
With a playful smile, Zoey casually pointed and said, “That path.”
What she wanted to say deep down was she wished to send Sofie to her death.
She knew that this woman had set traps in all four directions—east, west, north, and south, ready to
ensnare and eliminate her right then and there.
And that was precisely what she desired.
That was because if she did not fall into a trap, would Sofie go and retrieve the confidential document?
If Sofie didn't go to retrieve the confidential document, how could Zoey follow her and snatch it from
her?
After about ten minutes of walking through the woods toward the west, Sofie said while panting, “I'm
getting old, can't walk anymore. Let's take a break.”
After speaking, she made a move to lean against the nearby large tree.
As soon as her back touched the tree trunk, the entire ground began to tremble.
Zoey curled her lips.
It really turned out just as she had guessed.
It seemed that in this world, no one understood this awful woman better than her, Zoey.
“W-What did you touch?” she asked, feigning surprise.
Sofie laughed sinisterly. “I'm sorry, my dear daughter. It's survival of the fittest. Might makes right. Either
way, today will end with one of us dead. I don't want to die, so it's you who's going to hell. In your next
life, make sure to look carefully and don't reincarnate in my belly again. In this life, the bond between
us as mother and daughter may be shallow, but it's certainly been intense. Like right now, you could go
and die with great intensity.”
“Sofie, you will not meet a peaceful end.”
As the last syllable fell, the ground beneath Zoey's feet rapidly caved in.
A moment later, she fell straight into a deep pit.
Looking at the dense array of holes around her, she seemed to understand what Sofie wanted to do.
Such a malicious mind.
Sofie actually dropped her into a snake pit, intending for these snakes to gnaw at her.
This was her biological mother, indeed.
Haha, I must have been blind back then to believe the nonsense this woman was spouting.
If it weren't for Sofie's instigation in the first place, she wouldn't have done so many foolish things,
ultimately being driven out of the Shurmer family and ending up with an unfortunate fate.
She was filled with such intense hatred. Zoey wished she could grind Sofie into dust, consume her
flesh, and drink her blood.
“Good girl, this is the grave I've chosen for you. Is it all right? Just rest peacefully here, and if I get the
chance, I'll toss Bailey in to keep you company.”
After Sofie finished speaking, she turned around and left.
Zoey sneered.
Perhaps something had sensed the presence of a living being as there was gradually some activity in
those holes.
In an instant, the sound of rustling echoed all around.
Unruffled, Zoey firmly smacked her hand onto the jagged edges of the wall, then forcefully slid it down.
In the next moment, her entire hand was a bloody mess.
Numerous snakes had already emerged from the holes by then. With a slight lift of her hand, she
splattered her blood on the surrounding walls.
The snakes, upon catching the scent of her blood, not only did not attack her but instead quickly
recoiled.
This was Kurt's masterpiece, he had transformed her into a poisonous person.
These carriers of poison were highly sensitive to dangerous substances. They would instinctively
retreat, especially when they encountered something more poisonous than themselves.
Hence, it was not just snakes. Even if Sofie were to unleash ferocious beasts on her that day, she
could still repel them with her highly poisonous blood.
Zoey curled her lips.
It really turned out just as she had guessed.
That old woman has no idea just how terrifying the poison within me truly is.
Kurt declared that even Cameron and Blaze couldn't neutralize it, proving that this was the king of all
poisons.
She was convinced that the heavens did not wish for her demise.
Since she was allowed to live, those who had once caused her pain should now tremble in fear.
Once the swarm of snakes retreated, she swiftly drew the grappling hook from her waist and hurled it
with all her might.
Once she hooked it onto the tree branch above, she began to climb up slowly, bit by bit.
She wasn't worried at all about not being able to find Sofie.
Sofie had the same toxin as her within the former. Zoey could detect its scent, and even if Sofie were to
flee to outer space, the former would still be able to find her.
After emerging from the snake pit, she stood facing the afterglow of the sunset.
The fiery red sunset was reflected in her eyes, making her appear alluring and bloodthirsty.
The hunt begins!
At the research base, Bailey and Artemis rushed out from the main house.
From a distance, the couple spotted three little figures approaching them.
In the morning, Zayron went out to meet Maxton and Susan.
Bailey just knew that the boy would never just disappear like that.
“Daddy, Mommy.”
“Daddy, Mommy.”
One sibling rushed into their mother's arms while the other dashed into their father's embrace.
Casually, Zayron rolled his eyes while standing in place.
He knew he was like the ugly duckling and had nothing to do with his biological parents.
Artemis lifted his daughter and twirled her around in circles, eliciting peals of laughter from his little girl.
Maxton choked up in his mother's arms and sobbed out, “I thought you were dead.”
As Bailey patted his back and pinched his nose, she said, “You guys are still so young, how could we
dare to die?”
Maxton grumbled, “You're biased, only telling Zayron the truth. That brat really lacks loyalty, watching
us mourn like that. Looking back now, I'm sure he was secretly laughing at us every time we finished
crying. It's embarrassing just thinking about it.”
Bailey couldn't help but laugh. “He is the heir of the Saviors. He can mobilize his power to assist me,
and he can also protect himself. If I tell you guys, you'll be putting yourselves in danger. If anything
happens to you, I'll never be able to forgive myself.”
The boy went silent.
At the side, the little girl pinched her father's face, tentatively asking, “Daddy, you're still alive, right?”
