Chapter 662 Not Allowed To Die For Me

Instead of dialing Juliana's number, Zeke cast Bailey a conflicted look.

“What other reason is there for her to be looking for me so urgently? Knowing her, she would never call me after her miscarriage unless she was threatened to do so.”

Bailey was taken aback.

He's right. Juliana should be calling me even during emergencies. Why did she call Zeke? Zeke is the last person she'll contact. After all, she's too ashamed to show her face to him ever since the incident that night. From my understanding of her, she shouldn't have called Zeke.

“What do you want to say? Why do you think she's calling me?”

Bailey narrowed her eyes as the wheel in her mind turned for an answer. After a short silence, she started, “I think she was threatened. That bunch of old geezers from the Hoffman family forced her to call and inform you that her miscarriage was her own doing and had nothing to do with them. They wanted to use using that excuse to appease your anger.”

Zeke clenched his fingers over his phone. His eyes were glacial.

“That bunch of old geezers have gone too far! They not only harmed a member of the Shurmer family with poison but were shameless enough to force the victim to carry the blame for them! What a joke!”

Bailey nodded in agreement. “It's funny, indeed, but also appalling. They must have threatened Julie with Huntley's life. When you return her call later, try not to reveal anything. Let those old geezers from the Hoffman family assume the coast is clear. We'll deal with them once we resolve the issue in Hallsbay.”

Zeke didn't respond to her suggestion. After a brief silence, he scrolled through his phone and tapped on the missed call.

Once the line connected, Juliana's hoarse voice came from the other end. “Mr. Shurmer? It's me. Are you free now? I would like to have a talk with you.”

Zeke furrowed his brows at Juliana's impassive tone.

The issue now isn't whether she can let it go but whether I allow it. I'm already caught in her web. Ever since the day she occupies a space in my heart, I have no intention of letting her escape from my
