Super Mommy and Her Triplets

Chapter 921 Hit Him Where It Hurts

Zeke was slightly taken aback. He didn't expect Zoey to hand over the memory card so easily.

Is this a trick?

Seeing his suspicion, Zoey couldn't help but sneer, “You gave me a dagger today, asking me to end my own life. I'll

hand over this hot potato to you as a token of gratitude. Now, the survival of the Hoffman family rests entirely on

your decision, Zeke. Think this through. If you reveal the information in this memory card, Juliana, who has lost her

family and home, will resent you for eternity. Of course, if you return it to Juliana, you can forget about having

anything to do with her in this lifetime because once she rises to power, the Hoffman family will not allow her to

marry someone outside the clan.”

Zeke clenched his fists tightly.

He never expected that to be her plan, for such a scheme was undeniably sinister.

Simply because he was the one who came to meet her and gave her a dagger, she handed him the memory card

in return, having him sever all ties with Juliana with his own hands.

How great. How wonderful.

“The Shurmer family has truly failed for having raised someone as malicious and wicked as you all these years. This

is probably the difference between an imposter and a true heiress. Although Bay didn't grow up with the Shurmer

family, she still shines brightly. You, on the other hand, still can't outgrow the inferiority rooted deep within you

despite decades of receiving higher education.”

Zoey laughed nonchalantly, tossing the closed box to Zeke.

“I've given you what you wanted. No matter what you do with it, neither you nor Juliana will have a good ending.

This is your retribution.”

After finishing speaking, she slowly bent down to pick up the dagger. Out of the corner of her eye, she glanced at

the box under Zeke's feet. A sinister gleam flashed across her eyes.

The next moment, she abruptly raised the dagger and stabbed it toward her heart.

Even if I survive today, I won't live long anyway. Without Kurt's medication to suppress the toxins in my body, I'll

succumb to the poison before long. The seeds of a deadly trap have now been sown. Whoever falls into it, I can

take them down with me. I'll wait for that unfortunate soul to join me in hell.

Zoey's consciousness gradually faded. Then, her body tilted to the left before crashing heavily onto the floor.

With a blade pierced through her heart, not even the mightiest gods could save her.

Watching Zoey gradually lose her life in a pool of blood, Zeke clenched his fist at his side.

I'm a human, so how can I be heartless and unmoved by the scene unfolding in front of me? She's my beloved

sister, whom I cherished and coddled since childhood. Now that she has met such a tragic end, I can't help but feel

pity and regret welling up inside me.

After a while, when he felt his legs had gone numb, he slowly shifted his gaze, focusing on the brocade box at his

feet.

After a moment of silence, he slowly crouched down, reached out to pick up the box on the ground, and then

pressed a button.

With a crisp pop, the lid flipped open, revealing a memory card inside.

Just as he was about to reach for the black card, a bodyguard barged in from outside.

The bodyguard turned to his employer with a hint of urgency. “Mr. Shurmer, Tucker has learned that Ms. Zoey is

here at the resort and is already on his way with his men. Should we retreat or stay and wait for him to come, then

annihilate him?”

Zeke's fingertips were just a hair's breadth away from touching that card.

After hearing the bodyguard's report, he lost interest in the card. With a thud, he shut the lid again.

Rising to his feet, he cast a profound gaze at Zoey, who was now lifeless, then turned and walked away.

“Retreat. Let's not go head-to-head with that mad dog. He won't last more than two days anyway. It will be a waste

if any of our brothers fall at his hands tonight.”

“Yes, sir.”

Meanwhile, in the guest room at the mansion on the east side of the research base.

Juliana stared at Bailey with a look of surprise, her voice trembling as she asked, “M-Master, did Huntley really not

betray me? He gave up half of his power to Tucker just to grant me freedom?”

Bailey reached out and took her hand before playfully tapping her forehead.

“You brat, have you grown so bold as to question your master's words?”

Juliana quickly shook her head, grinning as she said, “I was just too surprised. That's all. He was acting so cold that I

thought he had really betrayed me. However, now that the entire Hoffman family is under Tucker's control. Given

his crazy ways of doing things, he will inevitably ruin the whole family sooner or later. Huntley is truly foolish for

what he did. Once the family falls into ruination, we, the younger generation, can hardly escape blame.”

Bailey scoffed and indifferently said, “Does he think he can do whatever he pleases just because he holds all the

power in the family? A bumpkin can't be a king even if he puts on a crown. Just wait. His days on the throne are

numbered.”

At that point, Bailey suddenly gripped Juliana's hand tightly and asked in a deep voice, “Julie, are you really going to

become the next head of the Hoffman family? Whether it's Huntley or us, we all wish for you to live freely. You don't

have to confine yourself to this tiny place for your entire life.”

Juliana let out a bitter laugh. “My sister doesn't want to take charge, and Tucker can't. If I don't shoulder that

responsibility, I'm basically letting my father continue to toil away. Master, there are responsibilities I must take on. I

can't run from them because I'm the only one who can do it.”

Bailey stayed silent at Juliana's explanation.

Noticing Bailey's silence, Juliana continued, “Master, Zeke went to see Zoey, didn't he? Can you persuade him to

give me the documents if he gets them back from Zoey?”

The look in Bailey's eyes suddenly became conflicted.

Is she playing dumb or plain clueless? Doesn't she realize the consequences if Zeke gives her the information?

“Julie, you're hurting Zeke where it hurts. He giving you the information is equivalent to him personally handing you

the position as the head of the Hoffman family and, at the same time, severing all ties with you.”

Juliana bit her lip tightly, a trace of pain flashing in her eyes.

Regardless of whether the Hoffman family could be saved, she could no longer be with Zeke.

After a minute or two of silence, Juliana suddenly stood up from the sofa and began to stride toward the door.

“Master, I think I should personally ask him for those documents.”

Bailey didn't know what to say in response.

She rubbed her forehead, feeling the slight ache throbbing.

Artemis has already started strategizing to go up against Tucker. What will happen after Tucker steps down? Who

will take control of the vast Hoffman family? Does the heavy burden really have to fall on Juliana's shoulders?

At the same time, Artemis was talking on the phone by the floor-to-ceiling window in the Luther residence's study.

“Mr. Archie, I think our collaboration needs to be brought forward. Three days. I'm only giving you three days to get

the Hoffman family in order.”

A cold, mocking laugh from Archie came through the phone. “Do I need three days to deal with that trash, Tucker?

One hour is more than enough. Things are easier on my end, but I'm afraid your side might be more challenging.

The conditions I proposed are not exactly—”

Before he could finish, Artemis interrupted, “I've already found out where your friend is. He's currently being held

at the headquarters of Interpol. If you want me to rescue him, you'll have to agree to one more condition.”
