What do I think? I think it's a nice plan.

The plan would not only get rid of Bailey but also eliminate Yvette, killing two birds with one stone while completely eradicating future troubles. There could not have been a better outcome.

“I think your plan is impeccable, Mom. That way, all the obstacles that stand in my way will be eliminated. Our next step is to position me by Artemis' side. But... I am at a loss as to what identity I should assume to accomplish this.”

Sofie's lips curved upwards into a sly smile as she spoke. “Dear, don't you forget that Artemis has lost all memories of Bailey. To him, you are still the savior who sacrificed herself for him. For this reason, I doubt he will mistreat you. Without intervention from Bailey, I have no doubt that his heart will soon be yours as long as you put in some effort.”

An elated expression flashed across Zoey's face. Indeed, she is right! How could I have overlooked such a crucial detail?

Artemis currently suffered from amnesia, rendering him incapable of recalling anything about Bailey or any matter related to her.

Hence, Zoey's image in his heart remained as the kind savior from years ago. Were it not for Bailey's meddling previously, Zoey believed she would not have been subjected to such a wretched fate.

Now, with Bailey out of the picture, Zoey could return to Artemis' side as his savior, and with the cunning tricks up her sleeve, she could win his adoration.

In the past, she didn't even have the chance to put her plan into action. Fate didn't grant her such an opportunity, and Bailey ended up taking advantage of the situation.

Now, she must seize this opportunity to make Artemis hers and prevent any other woman from taking advantage.

“Your advice is greatly appreciated, Mom. I know what I should do now, and I eagerly await your good news. Once Bailey and Yvette are out of the way, I can have a chance to approach Artemis. And once I'm by his side, I will do anything I can to ensure he becomes completely enamored with me.”


Sofie murmured an acknowledgment.

“I haven't been by your side for all these years, and I know I owe you a lot. Now that you've grown up, you don't need my compensation, and you're also no longer at the age where you require maternal love. Therefore, the only thing I can offer you is to help you become the matriarch of the Luther family and the lady of Tarragon. With these two identities, you will never be bullied by anyone and will be the most powerful woman in this world. This is my way of compensating you for the motherly love you have lacked all these years. However, your future is in your own hands. This is the best I can do for you. Whether or not you can win Artemis' heart will depend on yourself.”

Zoey hugged Sofie's arm and smiled. “Thank you, Mom. I will always remember your guidance and assistance. If there is anything you need my help with in the future, just let me know. I will utilize every resource at my disposal to help you as best I can.”

“We'll talk about that once our plan succeeds. For now, you don't need to do anything. Just stay at home and wait for my news. Bailey and Yvette are like lambs waiting to be slaughtered by the butcher. They have nowhere to run. So, don't be too anxious. You will receive news in a few days,” advised Sofie.

“Okay.”

Juliana regained consciousness in the master bedroom of the Hoffman residence. As she opened her eyes, she fixated her gaze on the delicate crystal chandelier hanging from the ceiling while in a daze. Her mind was still having trouble processing what was going on.

Where am I? Is this my room? How did I come back here?

The scene before she lost consciousness flashed through her mind, causing her pupils to constrict in horror.

She then felt a sharp pain in her lower abdomen and instinctively reached out to touch it.

As she moved, the pain became more intense and obvious.

A sense of foreboding swelled in her heart, and she struggled to sit up. However, her body felt weak and feeble, forcing her to slump back down.

What happened to my child? Did I have a miscarriage?

Before losing consciousness, she recalled being poisoned. She wondered if the poison didn't kill her but instead took away the life of the fetus growing in her womb.

Oh my goodness! This can't be real! I don't want anything but to give birth to this child safely and soundly and send him away so that he could grow up happily. This child is my only hope and motivation to keep living. Why take that away from me, too? My world is already consumed by darkness. Now that my child is gone, I no longer have a reason to live!

A low sob escaped her throat, and tears streamed down her face.

Creak!

The doorknob turned, and the door was pushed open.

Juliana instinctively turned her face away and wiped the tears on her face.
