Chapter 405

The Hoffman family was the biggest and most mysterious family in Adrune and had ruled over Epea for centuries. Once Juliana wielded real power, she would be one of the most powerful people in the world.

Thus, Bailey approved of her return.

Her years of experience taught her one thing—only those in power were able to protect their loved ones and do whatever they wanted.

The doorbell rang right when Bailey sent a message to Juliana.

It was a curt text: Have a safe trip.

After the message was sent, she tossed her phone onto the coffee table and went to the doorway to open the door.

“Bailey, you lied to me!”

The sight of her sister-in-law at the door caused Bailey to massage her brows in exasperation.

Ugh, I'm going to have a headache. I've just sent one away, and another one is here.

“When did I lie to you?”

“You promised to get me Legendary Racer's autograph, but she didn't even come to Hallsbay, let alone join the competition!”

Bailey let out a helpless sigh. “How do you know she's not at Hallsbay? Not joining the competition doesn't mean she's not here, get it?”

Caridee blinked. “Is she here? You're not lying to me, right?”

Feeling amused, Bailey slapped her head. “I promise you'll get Adhira's autograph that day.”

Caridee sighed in relief and took Bailey's arm. Beaming, she said, “Bailey, you're the best!”

Right after she spoke, footsteps sounded in the corridor outside.

They both looked up.

Caridee bore a lovestruck expression when she got a clear look at the person.
