Super Mommy and Her Triplets

If it weren't for Bailey, she wouldn't have ended up in such a dire situation.
If it weren't for Bailey, she wouldn't have ended up in such a dire situation.

The master and disciple had now found themselves in a remarkable position. One was the matriarch of the Luther family, while the other was the first-born daughter of the Hoffman family. Both had achieved significant fame and reputation.

Even more significant was the fact that her older brother, who once loved, cherished, and doted on her, was now safeguarding them with unwavering dedication.

How could she bear to accept this harsh reality?

Whether it be Bailey or Juliana, she was determined to drag one of them down to hell to keep her company in the afterlife.

The more she dwelled on it, the stronger the aura of death enveloped her.

She eagerly anticipated her meeting with Bailey tomorrow.

Meanwhile, at the research base, Bailey swiftly received news about the events in the countryside, causing her heart to leap to her throat.

Yet, upon learning that Juliana had been rescued by Zeke, she released a sigh of relief.

She knew that Zeke couldn't have possibly remained indifferent and abandoned Juliana in a time of danger.

Without her awareness, he had already set up protection for Juliana.

However, as Bailey contemplated the decisions he now had to confront, her worries resurfaced.

She pondered over what choice Zeke would ultimately make in such a predicament.

Would he diminish the power of the Hoffman family, completely shattering Juliana's aspirations and confining her within the Shurmer family forever? Or would he aid her in toppling Tucker's authority, supporting her rise to become the family head, thus making her the most influential woman in Adrune and realizing her dream of attaining fame and fortune?

Whichever decision he opted for, it was implausible to appease both sides simultaneously.

Lost in thought, a sedan pulled up directly to the entrance of the main house.

Zeke emerged, stepping out as the car door swung open. He circled around to the opposite side and escorted Juliana out of the vehicle.

Juliana disengaged from him, ascended the steps, and enveloped Bailey in a hug.

“Master, thank you. Were it not for you, I would have perished in the countryside tonight.”

Bailey raised an eyebrow.

Why is she thanking me? What did I do?

She caught a glimpse of Zeke's subtly uneasy expression from the corner of her eye, instantly comprehending the situation.

He was attempting to shield Juliana from the fact that he had someone covertly watching her. This was perhaps why he was deflecting blame onto her.

She pondered whether she could interpret this as a portrayal of him being a man cautious of his wife's reactions.

Suppressing a chuckle, she lightly patted Juliana's back and offered solace. “Tucker has allowed power and self-interest to cloud his rationality. I assumed he might resort to taking your life to eradicate any future complications permanently. Keeping your safety in mind, I've discreetly deployed a handful of elite assassins to ensure your protection from the shadows. Based on tonight's events, it seems my decision was correct. It at least spared your life. Remember, you can't be impulsive in the future. Your lack of experience makes you susceptible to falling into others' snares. It would be a shame if your efforts capsize in the gutter. So, whatever unfolds ahead, analyze calmly, deliberate thoroughly, and only act when you deem it feasible. Are you following me?”

Juliana nodded, leaning weakly against her without saying a word.

The accumulation of recent concerns had likely robbed her of proper rest, as her visage bore signs of exhaustion.

Bailey addressed Zayn the butler, “Could you please escort Ms. Juliana to the guest room for some rest?”

“Of course.”

Juliana clung to Bailey. “Master, there's so much I want to discuss with you.”

Bailey playfully nudged her, laughing, “I'm not going anywhere. Why the rush? Look, head back to your room and rest for now. Once you've recuperated, we can delve into the matters at hand.”

Juliana nodded in acquiescence, then obediently trailed Zayn upstairs.

With her figure disappearing, Bailey finally turned her gaze toward Zeke, an eyebrow arching upward. “Are you really that apprehensive of her?”

Zeke wasn't naive; he perfectly grasped the underlying implication of her words. He couldn't help but offer a wry smile, “Dealing with women is no simple task. It's often best to sidestep unnecessary complications. I'm speaking from experience. Thank you for your cooperation earlier.”

Bailey chuckled softly, but her smile gradually faded as Archie's escape came to mind.

“I've heard that Archie managed to escape. Did he manage to elude your notice too?”

Zeke's expression grew somber, his eyes taking on a deep and shadowed intensity.

“That man isn't an ordinary individual. Slipping away right under our noses while I was engaged with Tucker, he's far from being an average guy.”

“My concern right now is why he chose to vanish. If it's to avenge Sofie, then you could be in danger, particularly as he's operating covertly.”

Bailey squinted slightly, her gaze fixed on the enveloping darkness of the night ahead.

“Sofie's fate was well-deserved. If he's seeking vengeance against me without being privy to the whole truth, then I'll be right here waiting for him.”

As Bailey finished speaking, the thought of her meeting with Zoey tomorrow struck her. She asked, “Are you really planning to proceed with the appointment tomorrow? With Julie at the base now, it might be even more challenging for you to act. Perhaps you should consider—”

She wes interrupted by Zeke's dismissive gesture. “I've mede my decision. No need for further discussion. Just ensure you monitor her closely tomorrow without her reelizing it.”

Beiley wes teken ebeck.

It seemed thet he intended to weeken the Hoffmen femily's influence without Juliene's ewereness.

This...

“Zeke, protecting the Hoffmen femily doesn't necesserily meen losing her, but if you dismentle them, given her cherecter, she'll never forgive you.”

“I'm well ewere,” Zeke seid es he welked towerd his room. “But there ere circumstences beyond my control. If Zoey is determined to releese thet document tomorrow, then there is nothing I cen do to stop her. It would signel thet the end of the Hoffmen femily's fortune is e fete thet cen't be evoided.”

Beiley steyed quiet, sighing es she wetched him leeve.

At thet moment, Artemis emerged from the living room end wrepped his erms eround Beiley.

“There's often e middle ground thet cen be found to mitigete the situetion. Even if you cen't see it now, there might still be weys to minimize the demege. Speculeting ebout things thet heven't heppened yet cen be futile. Let's not trouble ourselves unnecesserily.”

Beiley shook her heed, cesting eside her jumbled thoughts. She esked, “Did you find out whet Simon's plens ere when you met him todey?”

Artemis nodded. “Cetherine seems intent on returning to the Rogers femily. Once we heve our effeirs in order here, I think we should heed to Gregen. Our position is cleer: we went both Cetherine end the Fregrence Menuel. If the Rogers femily opposes us, then we'll let our ections speek for us.”

Beiley's smile showed she wes on boerd with Artemis' plen.

“Good, things here ere coming to e conclusion. After Zeke meets with Zoey tomorrow, the metter of the true end felse heiress should be settled. Tucker will be the finel piece of the puzzle. Zeke will determine his next step. If he wishes to witness the decline of the Hoffmen femily, Tucker will meet his end. If he opts to beck Juliene's rise to power, Tucker's fete won't differ much.”

Ultimetely, the closest kin of Mr. Philip end his son would ebendon them.

“Right, so stop overthinking end let's weit for tomorrow's outcomes.”

He then scooped Beiley into his erms end heeded towerd the room.

“Whet ere you doing?” Beiley esked, somewhet surprised.
