Super Mommy and Her Triplets

Chapter 958 Walking Right Into The Trap

Inside the manor's laboratory.

Bailey narrowed her eyes at the test report in her hand, her expression inscrutable.

Cameron spoke up from the side. “It seems the poison has mutated within Juliana's body. The formula Kurt gave us is indeed genuine, but the antidote we developed is ineffective.”

After hearing that, Bailey furrowed her delicate eyebrows slightly.

After a moment of silence, she paced over to the iron cage.

Inside, there were a few little white mice that had been injected with Juliana's blood and had been poisoned.

Earlier, they fed them the antidote they had developed, but in the end, they still died of poisoning.

In other words, the antidote they'd been researching was ineffective.

“Cameron, how do you usually handle such mutated toxins?”

Cameron furrowed his brows as he spoke in a deep voice. “Increase the ingredients in the formula, but I'm not sure if Juliana's body can withstand it. The reason why Kurt so readily gave us the formula is probably because he guessed that the toxin had mutated within Juliana's body. Even if we could develop an antidote, it wouldn't neutralize the mutated toxin in Juliana's body. The situation is quite difficult to deal with.”

No sooner had his words fallen than Zeke walked in from outside, saying as he walked, “No matter how difficult it is, we have to do it. We can't just stand by and watch her die. First, conduct experiments using lab mice and gradually increase the dosage of the formula. The day the mice stop dying, that's when you can administer the injection to her. Either way, we're facing a dead end. Why not take a gamble? Besides, I don't think she's as fragile as you think. Go ahead and make the arrangements.”

After he finished speaking, he quickly changed the subject and continued, “An hour ago, Mrs. Rogers came to the manor and took Catherine away. I actually wanted to let you know, but Catherine didn't want to bother you, so she didn't come to say goodbye.”

Bailey was taken aback. She turned to look at him, and her expression was somewhat gloomy. “The Rogers family is in a dire situation. If Catherine goes back now, she will either have to take over as the head of the family or become a cannon fodder,” she said.

“Zeke, you should have told me. If I had known, I definitely wouldn't have let her go. By the way, where's that brat, Simon? Didn't he try to stop her?”

Zeke sighed lightly. “When Mrs. Rogers came over, she brought a few bodyguards. When she left, one of the bodyguards stayed behind.”

After pondering for a bit, Bailey immediately understood what he meant. “Simon disguised himself as that bodyguard and sneaked into the Rogers family? Who gave him the hyper-realistic mask?”

“Juliana. Don't forget, you were the one who trained that girl. Whatever you can do, she may not be an expert, but she can do it too. She also hypnotized the bodyguard to extract some basic information from him. Simon, disguised as him, should be able to pull it off without arousing suspicion.”

Bailey rubbed her forehead, feeling a bit of a headache coming on. She said helplessly, “They're walking into a trap. I always feel that the head of the Rogers family isn't very willing to hand over his position to Catherine. If he truly wanted to support his own daughter, with his status in the family, even if the elders were against it, he would have ways to ensure Catherine ascends to power. The reason Catherine hasn't become the head of the family all these years is likely because the current head of the Rogers family never intended to hand over power to her. If she goes to the Rogers residence now, she might end up being a mere pawn.”

“You're suggesting that the head of the Rogers family has another successor in mind, and he doesn't favor Catherine? But as far as I know, the head of the Rogers family only has one son and one daughter. His son, who was schemed against when he was young, turned into a fool and is absolutely incapable of shouldering the responsibilities of the family.”

Bailey glanced at him and said calmly, “Becoming a fool later in life is not the same as being born one. Who knows? Maybe Mr. Joseph refused to accept the fact and secretly sought out a divine physician for treatment.”

For ancient families like theirs, the most valued aspect was the succession of their offspring. Unless absolutely necessary, how could they let their daughter take charge? Moreover, Catherine had even given birth to a child from another family.

“The situation in the Rogers family is actually very similar to the Hoffman family. Neither Juliana nor Catherine are the most important heirs in their respective families.”

Zeke nodded, expressing his concern, “From what you're saying, it seems they've indeed walked right into a trap.”

At that moment, Artemis walked in from outside.

Seeing the situation, Bailey quickly approached and asked, “How did it go? Did you manage to reach an agreement?”

Artemis gave a light hum. “I chose the best time to go, so it went rather smoothly. The head of the White family isn't actually bedridden due to illness but is being controlled by poison from his mistress. I don't understand poisons, so I can't tell. He gave me a stack of information, saying that you would definitely be able to concoct an antidote. As long as we help him detoxify, he will collaborate with us.”

After he finished speaking, he pulled out a crumpled pile of papers from his pocket.
