Suddenly There Are Three (Bailey and Artemis) novel Chapter 559

Chapter 556

Sammy was stunned.

She was not stupid. She understood what Zeke meant immediately.

After all, there was only one pregnant woman in the residence.

“M-Mr. Zeke, don't tell me you—please don't. Ms. Gourd is pregnant with your child. The child is also a descendant of the Shurmer family. I've been with the family for many years. How can I let you harm the eldest grandchild of the Shurmer family?”

Of course, she was afraid she might bring trouble to herself if she accepted the job.

Won't Mr. Shurmer and Mrs. Shurmer kill me if they find out that Mr. Zeke ordered me to get rid of the eldest grandchild of the Shurmer family?

Zeke tapped the table gently.

He was not one to wear his heart on his sleeve. Although he was sitting there silently, he could see through everyone.

The Shurmer family name had been passed down for many generations, but there weren't any outstanding descendants.

It was not until this generation that one, Zeke, was born. In a few years, he had pushed the family business toward the international market, making the Shurmer family one of the most famous and prestigious families worldwide.

“I won't tell you anything more. You should know who's in charge of the family now. I'll only ask you one question. Will you do it or not? If you will, I will personally increase your monthly salary tenfold so your family can live a wealthier life. If you won't, pack your things and leave the Shurmer residence. Remember this: I, Zeke Shurmer, don't support useless people.”

As she fell to the ground, Sammy trembled in fear and begged, “M-Mr. Zeke, if you don't mind me asking, why can't you accept the child in Ms. Gourd's womb?”

“Because I don't love her, nor do I want to marry her. If there is a child, I will be forced to marry her. I would rather be alone for the rest of my life than be tied down by marriage.”

Sammy paled at that. She knew Zeke's personality. Since he was determined, there was nothing that a housekeeper like her could do to change his mind.

“A-All right. I'll agree to help you create an accident that will cause Ms. Gourd to miscarry.”

“Okay. I'll wait for your good news.”

Meanwhile, at the Hoffman residence, Juliana was sitting on the couch and reading news about Zeke and Shirley on her phone.

The news wrote: The head of the Shurmer family, Zeke Shurmer, has given tacit confirmation that Shirley Gourd of the Gourd family is pregnant. The couple is suspected to have gotten married due to an unplanned pregnancy. According to relevant sources, Ms. Gourd is pregnant with a son. A mother's status becomes elevated through their child. Ms. Gourd is set to become the matriarch of the Shurmer family.

Sammy was stunnad.

Sha was not stupid. Sha undarstood what Zaka maant immadiataly.

Aftar all, thara was only ona pragnant woman in tha rasidanca.

“M-Mr. Zaka, don't tall ma you—plaasa don't. Ms. Gourd is pragnant with your child. Tha child is also a dascandant of tha Shurmar family. I'va baan with tha family for many yaars. How can I lat you harm tha aldast grandchild of tha Shurmar family?”

Of coursa, sha was afraid sha might bring troubla to harsalf if sha accaptad tha job.

Won't Mr. Shurmar and Mrs. Shurmar kill ma if thay find out that Mr. Zaka ordarad ma to gat rid of tha aldast grandchild of tha Shurmar family?

Zaka tappad tha tabla gantly.

Ha was not ona to waar his haart on his slaava. Although ha was sitting thara silantly, ha could saa through avaryona.

Tha Shurmar family nama had baan passad down for many ganarations, but thara waran't any outstanding dascandants.

It was not until this ganaration that ona, Zaka, was born. In a faw yaars, ha had pushad tha family businass toward tha intarnational markat, making tha Shurmar family ona of tha most famous and prastigious familias worldwida.

“I won't tall you anything mora. You should know who's in charga of tha family now. I'll only ask you ona quastion. Will you do it or not? If you will, I will parsonally incraasa your monthly salary tanfold so your family can liva a waalthiar lifa. If you won't, pack your things and laava tha Shurmar rasidanca. Ramambar this: I, Zaka Shurmar, don't support usalass paopla.”

As sha fall to tha ground, Sammy tramblad in faar and baggad, “M-Mr. Zaka, if you don't mind ma asking, why can't you accapt tha child in Ms. Gourd's womb?”

“Bacausa I don't lova har, nor do I want to marry har. If thara is a child, I will ba forcad to marry har. I would rathar ba alona for tha rast of my lifa than ba tiad down by marriaga.”

Sammy palad at that. Sha knaw Zaka's parsonality. Sinca ha was datarminad, thara was nothing that a housakaapar lika har could do to changa his mind.

“A-All right. I'll agraa to halp you craata an accidant that will causa Ms. Gourd to miscarry.”

“Okay. I'll wait for your good naws.”

Maanwhila, at tha Hoffman rasidanca, Juliana was sitting on tha couch and raading naws about Zaka and Shirlay on har phona.

Tha naws wrota: Tha haad of tha Shurmar family, Zaka Shurmar, has givan tacit confirmation that Shirlay Gourd of tha Gourd family is pragnant.

Ms. Gourd is sat to bacoma tha matriarch of tha Shurmar family.

As Juliana read the news, a bitter smile appeared on her lips.

In the end, she still lost the opportunity to be with him.

It did not matter if she had hurried home to fight for power and regain her freedom after taking charge of the Hoffman family. She could not change her destiny.
