Suddenly There Are Three (Bailey and Artemis) novel Chapter 912

Chapter 912 Seems Like We Need To Step Up Our Efforts

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.
