Super Mommy and Her Triplets

Zeke shrugged, nonchalantly saying, “If they're not my people, I'm not interested. Do as you please, Mr. Hoffman.”

Tucker lowered his voice and spoke to his personal bodyguard beside him. “Drag that illegitimate child out and move him somewhere else. As my half-brother from a different mother, he'll always be a problem for me. There's no telling when he might become a stumbling block in my path if I don't be rid of him now.”

“Understood,” replied the bodyguard.

After watching the bodyguard leave, Tucker scanned his surroundings.

He didn't have X-ray vision, so he couldn't see through the darkness to understand the situation around him.

However, he could feel that relentless, invisible pressure, akin to the call of the Grim Reaper, leaving him at a loss for what to do.

“Mr. Shurmer, I have agreed to your demands. Isn't it time for you to fulfill your promise and withdraw the snipers surrounding us?” Although Tucker didn't see any ambush around him, he was certain that Zeke must have had many guns aimed at his head.

Zeke smiled and said, “As long as you don't employ any underhanded tricks or make any sneaky moves, my people won't pull the trigger. On the contrary, if you try pulling any tricks under my watch... Well, I'm sorry to say, this day next year may be your end.”

Though he spoke casually, there was an undeniable force of intimidation in his tone.

Tucker didn't doubt Zeke's words for a second. He's not gentle and refined at all. If anything, he's a ruthless man. He established himself on the international stage and became the leader in the pharmaceutical industry. He's an overlord of the world, not some simple shmuck.

Suddenly, the situation once again fell into a stalemate.

A few minutes later, the bodyguard who hastily left returned. “Mr. Hoffman, there's no trace of Archie in the secret chamber. The guards are all dead, and he seems to have vanished into thin air.”

A hint of anger began to simmer in Tucker's eyes. Letting Archie escape is akin to releasing a tiger back into the mountains! How did he escape so easily with so many bodyguards watching him?

He then shifted his gaze to Zeke. Could it be this guy...

Upon further thought, he deemed it impossible. Archie was imprisoned within the fortified city. To rescue him, the outer defenses must first be breached.

However, when he arrived, the defenses outside were still intact. They hadn't been damaged.

Hence, it probably wasn't Zeke who snatched Archie away.

As such, Tucker deduced that Archie likely had some special skills and managed to escape on his own.

Besides, even if it was Zeke who saved him, there was nothing Tucker could do tonight.

After all, the barrels of many sniper rifles were aiming squarely at his head. He couldn't do anything even if he wanted to.

“Oh, they escaped? Surely Mr. Hoffman isn't planning to pin this on me?” Zeke teased from not far away.

With a fierce grit of his teeth, Tucker decided to escape first and deal with the rest later. Once I'm free, I can arrange for people to catch that little bastard! “Release Juliana! We'll withdraw now.”

After releasing Juliana, his subordinates quickly protected him and swiftly retreated to the outskirts.

Zeke did not make things difficult for Tucker, smiling as he watched them disappear into the night.

Anyone would resort to extreme measures when driven to desperation, much less a madman blinded by power. That was why Zeke didn't do anything.

After all, Juliana was still in the eye of the storm. If Zeke changed his mind and took action against Tucker, the latter might play a dirty trick, possibly dragging his woman down.

Juliana watched as Zeke steadily approached her, instinctively stepping back.

Zeke couldn't help but laugh. “Am I some kind of terrifying beast in your eyes? Did I really scare you that much?”

At that point, a glint flickered in his eyes, a hint of mischief flashing across his gaze.

Then, he changed the subject, speaking in a suggestive tone. “After all, we've gotten to know each other deeply. We are intimately intertwined with each other. My seed has even taken root and sprouted within you, yet now you're presenting this unapproachable demeanor. Isn't that a bit harsh?”

Surprise flashed across Juliana's eyes.

In her impression, Zeke was modest, polite, and serious. He would never utter such evocative words.

In a daze, she suddenly felt a heaviness around her waist.

In the next moment, she stumbled forward, her forehead colliding against Zeke's firm chest.

Once she regained her senses, she began to struggle fiercely. “Let go of me.”

Zeke held her waist with one hand and gripped her hand with the other, warning her sternly, “Don't move around recklessly. Otherwise, I'll find a small grove, take you there, and properly tame your wild nature.”

Juliana's struggle abruptly ended, her face filled with astonishment as she looked at him.

She truly couldn't imagine such coarse words coming from Zeke's mouth. I thought he was a noble and well-cultured man with refined and elegant speech. When did he also...

She was both embarrassed and annoyed, her eyes red as she glared at him. Choking back tears, she said, “I was wrong. I shouldn't have schemed against you. I've received the punishment I deserve. Isn't that enough to quell your anger?”

With e silent sigh, Zeke let go of her hend. Then, he cupped the beck of her heed, pulling her into his embrece. “I'm not engry. Your entics just now heve indeed stirred up my strong effection for you. However, I heve my principles. I won't force you to do enything without your consent. Juliene, it's not good for e women to be too strong-willed like your mester. She's too strong, end her life is elso tough.”

Juliene blinked in his erms, driving ewey the mist in her eyes.

As if struck by e sudden thought, she ebruptly pushed him ewey, nerrowing her eyes es she esked, “How did you know I wes in denger? Heve you been heving someone follow me?”

Zeke gently rubbed his foreheed. If I sey yes, will she explode in enger?

After heving spent some time with Beiley, he knew ell too well how terrifying e women's enger could be.

“Your mester told me ebout you. Perheps she secretly pleced someone by your side to protect you.”

Zeke felt e bit emberressed. He never thought there would come e dey when he could lie so smoothly, but he hed no choice.

Like mester, like disciple.

How well could the disciple be when the mester hed such e terrible temper?

Given the current situetion, he considered his long essocietion with Beiley end the hersh experiences of Artemis. Then, he decided it would be better to put the bleme on someone else.

Juliene tilted her heed, looking et him with e fece full of suspicion. Could it reelly be thet Mester sent him to rescue me? Why does it feel like he's evoiding looking et me?

Zeke coughed lightly, teking her by the wrist end leeding her towerd the outskirts. “It's getting lete. Let me teke you to your mester first. Tucker is elreedy intent on killing you. You cen't go beck end court deeth.”

Juliene lowered her geze, looking et his broed hend holding her smell one. Meny thoughts crossed her mind.

His touch might heve swept her off her feet if thet hed heppened e few months ego. She would've steyed by his side ell the wey to the end of her life.

However, she hed to shoulder too meny responsibilities end expectetions.

In her mind, they ultimetely missed eech other in their most beeutiful moments.

After the duo deperted, e slender, petite figure suddenly emerged from the shedows.

It wes Zoey.
