Super Mommy and Her Triplets

Chapter 826

Lindsey quickly got up and approached her.

With her head slightly lowered, Astrid concealed the coldness in her eyes before suddenly reaching out to grab Lindsey's arm.

“Where is my sister-in-law being held? Didn't you say you found her exact location? Where is it? Where is she?”

Lindsey deftly grabbed her wrist and led her toward the table.

“Don't worry. Have some water and calm down. Besides, with your current physical condition, you wouldn't be able to barge in even if I told you, right?”

Astrid looked at the cup of water handed to her, a trace of mockery flashing past her eyes.

She suspected that the water in the cup had been laced with a stupefying drug.

Nonetheless, since she had already decided to step into the trap, there was nothing left for her to hesitate about.

As soon as Lindsey handed Astrid the cup, the latter took it and immediately took a big gulp.

“I'm here and have drunk the water. Now, can you tell me where Bailey is being held?”

With a playful smile, Lindsey suddenly pushed her onto the couch.

Astrid struggled to stand up, but the medicine was too potent, draining all her strength as soon as it entered her stomach. She feigned surprise and said, “T-The water's spiked. What... What are you trying to do?”

Lindsey let out a soft chuckle, leaning in close to her and saying, “Caridee, my brother dreams of having you, and because of you, he's already lovesick. So, swallow your pride and take good care of him. After all, it was because of you he became impotent. Now, only you can help him vent the boundless rage in his heart.”

“You, you...”

As Astrid's consciousness slowly faded away, her eyelids gradually drooped, plunging her directly into unconsciousness.

Lindsey slowly straightened her body, her face devoid of any guilt for having manipulated others. Instead, her eyes sparkled with excitement.

She was growing increasingly fond of the liberating feeling that washed over her after doing something evil.

There was a saying that rang true among people: it takes a lifetime to become a better person, but a blink of an eye is all it takes to be evil.

“Someone, take her to Shaun's residence.”

Two black-clad bodyguards marched through the door and hoisted the unconscious Astrid out.

The thought of the joy her brother would feel upon receiving the gift made Lindsey feel it was worth it to scheme against any innocent person.

Only with her elder brother's support could she get the man she desired.

Then again, she overlooked the most crucial point.

Caridee was Edmund's cousin. Now that Lindsey had pushed Caridee into hell, Edmund would never give her a second glance, let alone marry her.

A woman's IQ would usually drop to zero when they were overwhelmed with emotions; they never considered the consequences of their actions.

Inside the conference hall of Tarragon on Intel Island, Dominic slammed his hand on the table, fuming, “What is Sofie playing at? We agreed each of us would provide half of the manpower, and after taking down the headquarters, we would evenly split the power of the Tarragon. Now she actually teamed up with the Hoffman family and the Carter family and planning to send twice as many people as me. What on earth is she thinking?”

One subordinate with a scarred face slightly lowered his head, a glimmer of somber light flickering in his eyes.

He was an undercover agent, a spy that Artemis had planted near Dominic.

The subordinate had just received a task from Artemis, instructing him to use this situation to drive a wedge between Dominic and Sofie, forcing the great elder to take drastic action.

Once Dominic dispatched all his forces, Sofie would undoubtedly not sit idly by. She would also deploy all the power she had at her disposal.

Both sides had gathered their full forces at the Tarragon Headquarters. Holden was working with Sofie to plan another surprise attack. Together, they can completely eliminate the troublemakers.

“Mr. Doyle, in my opinion, Sofie intends to monopolize Tarragon. Don't forget, she's a woman who still has control over Holden. She might have already forced Holden to surrender.”

After hearing the scar-faced man's analysis, Dominic abruptly leaped from his chair.

“That woman sure has a wild imagination. She's nothing more than Leo's mistress, who's relying on the power he left her. Does she really think she can turn the world upside down?”

The scar-faced man added, “Don't forget, she is now Mr. Hoffman's lover. Tarragon was a group separated from the Hoffman family. They might have conspired long ago to kill you and then monopolize the entire empire.” C0pyright © 2024 Nôv)(elDrama.Org.

As soon as he finished speaking, the rest of them began to chime in, one after another.

Dominic's face turned purple with rage. After a moment of silence, he gritted his teeth and asked, “So, how should we deal with this?”

“Quietly gather all our forces and head to the Tarragon Headquarters to fight Sofie in a battle of life and death.”

“Yes. Gather all forces for a battle of life and death.”

The man with the scarred face curled his lips into a peculiar smile.

These people were so blinded by their own interests that they had lost all reason. It would only be a matter of time before Artemis eliminated all of them.

Dominic slammed the table forcefully, making a final decision, “All right, let's go this.”

Inside the base in Moranta, Artemis leaned against the couch, reading the message sent by his subordinate. Without realizing it, he curled his lips into a smirk.

Bailey narrowed her eyes at him, frowning as she asked, “Why are you smiling like that?”

Artemis tossed the communicator to her. “The great elder is taken care of. All that's left is Sofie. As long as I can provoke her to mobilize all her forces, I can wipe them all out in one go.”

Bailey quickly skimmed through the email, a faint smile uncontrollably tugging at the corner of her lips.

Those troublemakers were finally about to be dealt with.

She had been cooped up in the dark lab for days on end, just waiting for a result so she could finally step outside and get some fresh air.

“How likely do you think Sofie will take the bait?”

Without a second thought, Artemis blurted out, “One hundred percent.”

Bailey raised an eyebrow. “Are you sure?”

“Two tigers can't coexist on the same mountain unless they're a male and a female. Well, they are indeed a male and a female, but they're both people blinded by self-interest. No one can halt their pursuit of fame and fortune, and it's inevitable that their alliance is merely superficial. Actually, internal strife will begin without needing me to send someone to instigate them to go against each other. No one would let their guard down at such a critical moment where success or failure depends on one move.”

Bailey threw herself into his arms, grinning from ear to ear. “My husband is so impressive. You understand the heart of humans so perfectly.”

Artemis looked at her delicate face, his heart beginning to flutter.

“I want to eat you.”

Bailey was taken aback for a moment. When she finally came to her senses, a faint blush spread across her cheeks.

Even though she was thick-skinned, she could not stand his constant teasing and the inappropriate comments he would sporadically make.

“Stop messing around. This is the laboratory.”

Artemis chuckled. “So what? It's fine as long as you're here. Without you, I wouldn't feel any joy even if I were in heaven—”

Bailey abruptly reached out to cover his mouth. “Stop. Don't say another word. It's damaging to your image as the ruler of the Tarragon Empire and the head of the most prominent family.”

Artemis helped her up, and after a moment, he seated her down.

Bailey inhaled sharply.

This jerk!
