Super Mommy and Her Triplets

In the study of Tarragon's branch was Yvette, who grabbed Daniel's wrist and asked anxiously, “Did you help me contact the leader? What was he like? Did he agree to see me?”

Looking hesitant, he answered, “Ms. Sullivan, I really can't help you with this. I'll gladly do it if it was something else, but the leader's whereabouts are not something we can control. I'm terribly sorry.”

Yvette's expression turned grim, and she gritted her teeth. “I want to know his exact words. Just tell me.”

“Uh...”

“Tell me or I'll get the elders from the headquarters to remove you from your position.”

“H-He said you have n-no right to see him, and he won't change his mind because of you. He also ordered me to release Ms. Shannon right away.”

Yvette's lips twitched, and surprise flashed past her eyes.

She never expected the leader to be so cruel and would not spare her dignity.

To be more precise, he did not spare her father's dignity.

Even Micah and Holden have to treat me with respect. How could the leader decline my request just like that? He did not even bother showing me some respect.

“Give me his contact information. I'm going to contact him myself.”

Unfortunately, that put Daniel in a difficult spot. He suggested with caution, “Perhaps you can try asking the headquarters' elders. They'll definitely have the leader's contact information. The leader and I contact each other using a special code, and I can't share it. I hope you can understand, Ms. Sullivan.”

Understand?

Yvette's chest heaved as she panted in rage. She then pointed her finger at him, hissing, “Even you are disrespecting me now, huh? Have you forgotten what my identity is in Tarragon? My father might not be here, but I can still easily remove you from your position.”

With a thud, Daniel fell to his knees and gave himself a tight slap.

Of course, he would not give her the code, for disobeying the leader would bring worse punishments than offending her.

“Wow. Isn't it lively here? Lord Euchler, what mistake did you make that brought you to your knees? Have you forgotten who you are? The person in charge of Tarragon's branch only kneels before the leader.”

It was Micah, who was entering the room at the same time.

He swept his gaze over Daniel before glancing at Yvette with a half-smile. “How could you make him kneel before you? Are you coveting the leader's position?”

Yvette froze. Her face paled as her voice trembled. “N-No, no. I never thought of that, nor do I have the desire. Micah, I just wanted to see the leader and talk to him about some matters. Can you help me arrange a time for him to meet me?”

A smile formed on Micah's lips as he shook his head. “I'm afraid I have to say no because even I don't have the chance to meet him.”

With that, he lowered his gaze to Daniel, who was still trembling, and continued, “Didn't the leader order you to release Ms. Shannon? Take me to Prudent Hall now.”

“Um...” Daniel could not help but glance at Yvette, looking conflicted.

Noting that, Micah shot Daniel a glare and yelled, “What now? Are you going to disobey the leader's words?”

“No, no, no.” Daniel got to his feet hastily and made a gesture for Micah to follow him before leaving the study first.

Meanwhile, Micah shot Yvette a look while saying casually, “Shannon wanted to kill you because she had some misunderstanding toward you. Thankfully, you're unharmed. Please forgive her. After all, you two were like sisters who grew up together.”

Sisters?

Yvette scoffed inwardly.

The truth was that Shannon only wanted to kill Yvette because she knew the latter was the one behind everything.

There was no longer any friendship between them. Instead, they had become mortal enemies, and death was the only way to put an end to the situation. One of them had to die.

“Micah, are you misunderstanding something? I never thought of pushing Shannon to her death, but it's undeniable that she harmed Lord Euchler's daughter. She has to be punished, right? How else am I supposed to explain this to the others?”

Micah smirked. “Really? Well, I hope that's what you really think. All right. I'll go get Shannon out of prison now. You two should talk things out when you're free. Who knows? It could resolve the misunderstanding.”

Yvette squeezed the hem of her dress as hostility flooded her gaze.

You're wrong, Micah. There's no misunderstanding between Shannon and me. It's a blood feud, one that'll never be resolved.

In the meantime, Shannon sat on the stone bench in the dungeon with her head hung low, looking weak.

Her clothes were stained with blood. Clearly, she was punished.

Suddenly, the door was pushed open, and in walked Micah.

The moment the stench of blood wafted toward him, he frowned instinctively.

Anyone who ended up in Prudent Hall would be given some sort of punishment. However, Micah could feel his heart clench, albeit knowing the rules.
