Bailey sighed to herself.

By assisting Juliana, it's akin to nullifying Zeke and Huntley's plans. But can I truly decline? After enduring such immense adversity, Juliana's unwavering commitment to safeguarding her family is undeniable. If the Hoffman family were to crumble, wouldn't all her struggles have been for naught?

Following a brief interlude of silence, Bailey eventually offered a feeble nod. “Very well, I'll help you. But keep in mind, you mustn't divulge this to anyone else. This knowledge is restricted to us. Is that clear?”

“Mm, I'll listen to you, Master.”

After providing a few additional instructions, Bailey ultimately concluded the call.

The rich, resonant voice of Artemis reverberated, prompting her to instinctively turn her head toward the source.

“Julie just reached out to me. She wants me to covertly find out where Tucker has confined Archie. I couldn't refuse, so I agreed. This action might inadvertently disrupt my brother's plans.”

Artemis approached, his arm enveloping her. His slender lips gently traced a path along her delicate cheek.

Bailey couldn't help but shiver, her glare sharpening as she scolded, “Show some restraint! Don't behave like a ruffian and treat women with disrespect whenever you encounter one.”
