Suddenly There Are Three (Bailey and Artemis)

Chapter 910

Chapter 910 Is He Here To Save Her

Juliana slightly lowered her head.

It was her impatience for quick success that led her astray. She had no rebuttal and had wasted all the

teachings her master had imparted over the years.

“Tucker, why have you tricked me into coming here?”

With a cold smile, Tucker glanced around and then said lightly, “A dark and windy night like this is

perfect for murder, isn't it? And it can silently erase all traces of the body. What do you think, my dear

cousin?”

A sudden heaviness fell upon Juliana's heart, and with it, her gaze turned icy.

He did not bother to hide his murderous intent at all, so she had no doubt that he would seize the

opportunity to silence her that night.

“Why? The first branch of the family has already handed over the power to you. Now, we are nothing

more than ordinary clan members. Why are you so hell-bent on annihilating me? With your narrow-

mindedness, do you even deserve to be the leader of a clan? If our clansmen find out that you are

creating internal conflict and senselessly killing the innocent, aren't you afraid that your position as the

head of the household will vanish into thin air?”

Tucker burst into uncontrollable laughter as if he had just heard the funniest joke in the world.

“Now the entire Hoffman family's power is in my hands. Who do you think would dare to oppose me?

Killing you would be as easy as crushing an ant. Who would stand up for a family disgrace like you?

Juliana, don't forget that you got pregnant before marriage. By carrying the b*stard child of a foreigner,

you have violated our family rules. As the new head of the household, I have the right to deal with you

as I see fit. So even if you were to die today, no one would dare to utter a word of blame against me.”

“You...”

Tucker did not give her a chance to speak. He waved his hand and sneered, “Why are all of you

standing around? Hurry up and send Ms. Juliana on her way.”

“Yes.”

Juliana's heart completely sank when she saw a large group of bodyguards swarm in on her.

An aura of death enveloped her, and she could not help but let out a bitter laugh.

It was her lack of skill that led to this unfortunate outcome. She truly brought it upon herself.

Watching as several of her subordinates fell one after another, Juliana slowly closed her eyes.

The head of her bodyguards urgently said, “Ms. Juliana, there's still a glimmer of hope. You must not

give up. I'll cover for you. You must escape quickly.”

After he finished speaking, he began to push Juliana away.

Juliana swiftly grabbed his arm and said with a laugh, “Tucker has gone mad. For the sake of power

and status, he was willing to risk his entire family to bring Sofie down. Now that he has murderous

intentions toward me, how can he possibly let me go so easily? Even if I manage to evade his capture

today, the assassins outside won't let me off the hook. How can I possibly escape this intense

encirclement when I'm unarmed and have no one by my side to protect me? So give up already.

Having loyal subordinates who are willing to die with me, I'm more than satisfied.”

“But...”

Before the bodyguard could finish, Tucker burst into a sinister laugh again. “At least you have some

self-awareness. Originally, I didn't want to kill you. I wanted you to live a lingering life in this world and

spend your entire life as a widow in the Hoffman family. Ah, how fate toys with us. Just a couple of days

ago, I inadvertently let slip in front of you and revealed that the confidential documents are in Zoey's

possession. If you get your hands on that document before me, wouldn't I be at the mercy of a young

lady like you? To avoid unnecessary trouble, I've thought it over and over, and it seems that the safest

option is to forever seal your lips.”

After he finished speaking, he shouted at the bodyguards who had already approached Juliana,

“Doesn't she want to go to the secret room? Then fulfill her wish. Throw her in, set a fire, and leave no

trace of her remains.”

“Yes.”

Several black-clad bodyguards reached out to grab Juliana's shoulder.

At that moment, a voice laced with playful mockery echoed in the silent darkness. The tone was deep

and rich with a touch of languor.

“Mr. Tucker, oh no, I should address you as Mr. Hoffman now. Moranta is indeed your territory. You're Content property of NôvelDra/ma.Org.

also in charge of the Hoffman family. But when it comes to my woman, it's not your place to dispose of

her as you please.”

As the final note fell, a tall and slender figure slowly emerged from the shadows.

The man was dressed in a gray suit, and his thin lips curved into a faint smile.

However, a faint scent of blood emanating from him diminished his elegant demeanor.

Upon hearing the voice of the newcomer, a trace of disbelief flashed in Juliana's eyes.

When she saw his face, the look of surprise slowly faded away.

It's him.

He's really here.

At this critical juncture between life and death, he arrived under the cover of night and was unafraid to

confront the local tyrant, Tucker, head-on.

Is he here to save me?

Tucker looked in the direction from which the sound came, and his gaze landed on the man who was

laughing freely.

Everyone said that Zeke, the head of the Shurmer family, was gentle and refined. He fully embodied

the grand demeanor of someone from a prestigious medical family.

He had provided countless aid to impoverished mountainous regions.

Though not a doctor, he had saved countless people from the torment of illness.

This man, without a doubt, had achieved great success and fame.

However, standing there that day, an inexplicable sense of fear stirred up within Tucker.

How did he manage to arrive here without making a sound?

Tucker's subordinates clearly stated that he had planted three layers of assassins within a few miles

radius.

Did this guy finish off all of them?

“Mr. Shurmer, I've long admired your reputation, yet we've never had the chance to meet. May I ask

what brings you here today?”

Zeke raised his eyebrows, and his gaze fell on the stunned face of Juliana.

This girl's still a bit naïve after all.

Even if she has forced herself to grow, it will still take time to adapt to those dark tactics.

If it weren't for him secretly having people protect her all along, she probably would not have escaped

tonight's disaster.

“Mr. Hoffman, we are both clear-minded people. Let's speak frankly and openly. The Hoffman family is

now entirely in your hands. I have no intention of interfering. The only thing I ask for is the woman you

are planning to harm. Since she's of no use to you anymore, why not hand her over to me? This way,

both of us can walk away unscathed tonight.”

Tucker slightly squinted his eyes. The expression in his gaze was obscure and unclear.

He had a premonition that he had become a mouse in a trap.

If he was determined to take Juliana's life that day, then he should not expect to leave that place alive.

“She's the only bargaining chip I have right now. If I hand her over to you and you turn around and kill

me, wouldn't I be digging my own grave?”

Zeke spread his hands. His expression was a mix of amusement and seriousness as he said, “This is

the territory of the Hoffman family. If I were to kill you here, wouldn't it be a severe slap in the face to

the Hoffman family? Trust me. I value my life highly. Killing you would bring me nothing but trouble. It's

simply not worth it.”

After some thought, Tucker agreed as well.

Besides, he was in a position of great power now. There was absolutely no need for him to go down

because of a little girl.

It was simply not worth it.

His plan had failed now because he had been outmaneuvered by others. Tucker no longer had the

audacity to be arrogant.

If he wanted to live, he could only compromise.

“Alright, since you've cut me off, I have nothing more to say. I can give you this woman. But you must

agree to let me take the young man from the secret room. Do you have any objections, Mr. Shurmer?”
