Super Mommy and Her Triplets

Chapter 557

In the study of the Shurmer residence, Waverly threw the newspaper onto the table angrily and yelled at Steven and Zeke, “Look at this! Should we even let her return to the family? She embezzled donations from the public, and now, the entire world is boycotting her. How do you plan to protect her?”

Steven narrowed his eyes, and his gaze fell upon Zeke, who sat beside him.

Zeke reached up to massage his temples. Although his head ached, determination could be seen in his eyes.

“We should proceed with the press conference. I'll call Bay immediately and have her get to the venue. We can't give up on her because of such news. Besides, this looks like someone had set her up. She would never embezzle donations.”

Waverly smacked the table and snapped, “Things have come to this, yet you still want to protect her. Are you trying to piss me off, Zeke? Fine. You can let her return to the Shurmer family, but kick me out first. I don't want to watch her ruin the Shurmer family name.”

“Don't say that, Waverly.” Steven sighed as he stared at his wife in dissatisfaction. “I know you're reluctant to let Zoey go, but Bay is our biological daughter. I also know you have many unhappy moments together, but you shouldn't hold grudges against each other.”

Waverly glared at him, not wanting to take a step back. Her voice was firm as she said, “Whatever. If she returns to the Shurmer family today, then I'll leave. Do as you see fit.”

The phone on the table rang just as Zeke was about to say, “Leave, then.”

He picked it up and saw that it was a call from Bailey.

“Bay, I was just about to call you and have you rush to the venue of the press conference.”

It was silent on the other end of the call for a moment until Bailey's cold voice rang out. “Zeke, I'm sure your mother must be doing everything she can to stop you from holding the press conference. She's the elder of the family. Don't ruin your relationship with her because of me. Let's delay the press conference. After all, there's a scandal linked to me at the moment. We'll talk about the press conference another day.”

“Bay, are you—”

“Zeke, I know what you want to say. Thank you, but you don't need to worry about me. Artemis will protect me. Don't let me become a burden to the Shurmer family, okay? I'll feel guilty, and I won't be happy even if I return to the family.”

Zeke opened his mouth, wanting to say something, but in the end, he gave up and sighed in resignation.

“Since you've put it that way, it would seem as if I'm forcing you if I insist on the press conference. But it's fine. I feel relieved to know that Artemis will protect you. Take care of yourself. Let me know if you have any problems.”

“Okay.”

After ending the call, Zeke looked at Waverly and said in an icy tone, “That girl is more mature than you think. You don't need to throw a tantrum. She gave up on coming home. From today onward, I'm afraid whatever tiny bit of affection the two of you had is now gone. I hope you don't regret it in the future.”

Waverly frowned slightly as mixed emotions flashed past her eyes.

Am I in the wrong? No, I'm not. I raised and cared for Zoey for the past twenty or so years. It's only fitting that I stand by her side.

In a dimly lit bedroom at the Hoffman residence, Juliana slowly opened her eyes. It was dark outside. The entire mansion was engulfed by darkness.

“Are you awake?” A raspy and magnetic voice drifted into her ears, snapping her out of her daze.

She regained consciousness, and the day's happenings slowly flashed through her mind.

She remembered taking an abortifacient and passing out because of the intense pain.

Huntley... Did he know I was pregnant?
