Super Mommy and Her Triplets

Chapter 290

Still alive? And they even got their hands on the antidote? D*mn it. What the hell is Cadence doing? It

was such a good opportunity, but he still lost to Bailey. What a useless man!

Felicity reacted differently from her. Once she heard what her daughter said, she began struggling to

get off.

Caridee rushed over to press down on her shoulders and said with a smile, “Mom, just rest at home.

Dad has said to not let you go anywhere and make sure you wait at home.”

Felicity instantly grabbed her daughter's wrist and stammered, “Are the two kids fine? Are the toxins

out of their body?”

“Yes, yes.” Caridee smiled at her mother and happily said, “Not only are Zayron and Susan fine, but

Max even woke up from his coma.”

Felicity froze, clearly needing time to process what Caridee just said. Then, she began shaking.

“Caridee, what did you say? Max is awake too?”

“Yes! Max is awake. Your precious grandson is awake.”

While she spoke, Caridee glanced at Rhonda from the corner of her eyes. It was then she saw the

scrunched-up features and ferocious look on Rhonda's face. Caridee's heart sank.

Maxton's awakening did not seem to be joyous news for Rhonda. On the contrary, she seemed furious.

But why? Isn't Max her biological son?

“He's awake. He's awake,” Felicity muttered under her breath. Once she came back to her senses, she

grabbed Rhonda's arm and cried out, “Ronni, did you hear her? The three kids are all fine, and your

son has woken up from his coma!”

Rhonda was about to implode from the fury, but she still slapped a look of pleasant surprise on her

face. “Yes, I heard her. I knew that the Luther children would be fine.”

At that, Caridee rolled her eyes.

This woman changes her attitude as quickly as a revolving door. Why didn't I realize how pretentious

she was in the past? I was blinded by her fake gentle appearance back then.

The next day, the police published an announcement on their official website: World-infamous drug

refiner Cadence White, who had been refining drugs in an abandoned factory at Hallsbay, has been

found dead after accidentally coming into contact with toxins.

The moment the news was published, the entire world was stunned.

To the outsiders, Cadence was an extreme madman who acted strangely. Hence, they were not too

shocked that he was killed by the toxins he was developing.

However, when Rhonda saw the news, she hurried back to the Jefferson residence anxiously.

In the living room at the Jefferson residence.

“Ronni, calm down. Cadence's death might be a good thing for you. You can finally get out of his

control. Anyway, you're aiming for the status of Mrs. Luther. You're above so many other people in

Hallsbay, so what are you worried about?”

“But... But I'm scared that old man's going to reveal the unsightly things I've done with him. If Artemis

finds out that I've been cheating on him, he's going to skin me alive!”

“Calm down.” Beatrice grabbed Rhonda's hand and consoled her, “If Artemis had really found out about

this, he would have rushed to the Luther residence to kick you out of the family. Weren't you fine the

entire night? I'd say that Cadence died before he could spill any beans.”

However, Rhonda was still quaking in her boots as she stuttered, “I-Is that really so? Mom, I'm no

match for Bailey. That woman is a bringer of misfortune, and she's scary. Anyone who gets involved

with her ends terribly.”

Beatrice curled her lips and nonchalantly said, “Then let's not confront her head-on. We'll use Zoey to

deal with her instead.”

Rhonda gulped. She was genuinely doubting Zoey's ability to survive Bailey's tricks. After all, Zoey

seemed to be someone with all looks and no brains.

In a café at the corner, a man and a woman sat by the window seat.

Bailey was looking at Zeke with a raised brow. “May I know why you've invited me here, Mr. Shurmer?”

Zeke watched her with gentle eyes, completely unlike the rumored head of the Shurmer family.

Indeed, he had some bizarre feelings for her. Her face kept reminding him of his mother, so he thought

of her as his younger sister.

“Thank you for having mercy on my sister, Ms. Jefferson. If not for the evidence you provided to the

court that proved the medication was fine, my sister would have been charged guilty. She might have

ended up getting sentenced to a few years in jail.”

However, Bailey flashed him a smile and said, “Mr. Shurmer, are you trying to point out how I've

falsified the evidence?”

Zeke froze and frowned. “I don't understand what you're trying to say, Ms. Jefferson. Please enlighten

me.”

Bailey took a sip of her coffee and slowly said, “There was indeed an issue with that batch of

medication from Dyke Pharmaceutical, but your sister wasn't the one who did something to it.

Cadence, who died in the abandoned factory yesterday, was the true culprit. I always thought that you

were part of the incident—that you were Cadence's accomplice, so I've been keeping my guard up

against you all this time. You have my apologies for that. I've thought too terribly of you. As for your

sister, she simply wanted to ruin my reputation, but she ended up being manipulated by Cadence.”

Zeke raised his brows in response. “I see. Thank you for clarifying this to me, Ms. Jefferson. Indeed,

my sister has made a mistake. The Shurmer family should extend our gratitude to you for being

merciful to her.”

Bailey waved dismissively. “My mercy was conditional. It's to repay the favor Artemis owed her.”

At that, she lifted her head to glance at Zeke before continuing, “My disciple, Juliana, seems to be quite

close with you lately, Mr. Shurmer. It is the first time the girl has fallen for someone else, so she might

have crossed a line or two accidentally. Mr. Shurmer, I hope you'll deal her a swift blow and reject her.”

Upon hearing that, Zeke could not help but hold his forehead in exasperation. He then sighed and

muttered, “Ms. Jefferson, I'm sure you know what kind of person your disciple is. Since you've come to

me to talk about this, clearly, I haven't gotten through to her. Frankly, it isn't the first time I've told her

about it, but she's stubborn. There are two reasons for me to invite you here today. One is to thank you

for letting my sister go, and the second is for you to keep a close eye on that girl and have her stop

harassing me.”

Bailey narrowed her eyes. After falling silent for a while, she cautiously asked, “A sudden question, but

do you have a girlfriend, Mr. Shurmer?”

Zeke inclined his head and uttered, “I have a fiancée from an arranged engagement.”

Bailey arched a brow. “Is she the eldest daughter of the Gourd family, Shirley Gourd?”

A chuckle escaped Zeke after his initial shock. “As expected of an international big shot. You have so

many identities, and you're up to date with all kinds of news. Indeed, it is the eldest daughter of the

Gourd family, Shirley Gourd.”

“That's okay then.” Bailey snapped her fingers and beamed. “I've resolved a crisis for Dyke

Pharmaceutical, so technically, you owe me a favor, Mr. Shurmer. Could you please call Ms. Gourd to

take a trip to Hallsbay? I don't think my girl will give up until the very end. I'm sure she'll finally stop if

she sees your fiancée in person.”

Zeke turned quiet in hesitation.
