Chapter 910
Chapter 910 Is He Here To Save Her
Juliana slightly lowered her head.
It was her impatience for quick sess that led her astray. She had no rebuttal and had wasted all the
teachings her master had imparted over the years.
“Tucker, why have you tricked me intoing here?”
With a cold smile, Tucker nced around and then said lightly, “A dark and windy night like this is
perfect for murder, isn''t it? And it can silently erase all traces of the body. What do you think, my dear
cousin?”
A sudden heaviness fell upon Juliana''s heart, and with it, her gaze turned icy.
He did not bother to hide his murderous intent at all, so she had no doubt that he would seize the
opportunity to silence her that night.
“Why? The first branch of the family has already handed over the power to you. Now, we are nothing
more than ordinary n members. Why are you so hell-bent on annihting me? With your narrow-
mindedness, do you even deserve to be the leader of a n? If our nsmen find out that you are
creating internal conflict and senselessly killing the innocent, aren''t you afraid that your position as the
head of the household will vanish into thin air?”
Tucker burst into uncontrobleughter as if he had just heard the funniest joke in the world.
“Now the entire Hoffman family''s power is in my hands. Who do you think would dare to oppose me?
Killing you would be as easy as crushing an ant. Who would stand up for a family disgrace like you?
Juliana, don''t forget that you got pregnant before marriage. By carrying the b*stard child of a foreigner,
you have vited our family rules. As the new head of the household, I have the right to deal with you
as I see fit. So even if you were to die today, no one would dare to utter a word of me against me.”
“You...”
Tucker did not give her a chance to speak. He waved his hand and sneered, “Why are all of you
standing around? Hurry up and send Ms. Juliana on her way.”
“Yes.”
Juliana''s heartpletely sank when she saw arge group of bodyguards swarm in on her.
An aura of death enveloped her, and she could not help but let out a bitterugh.
It was herck of skill that led to this unfortunate oue. She truly brought it upon herself.
Watching as several of her subordinates fell one after another, Juliana slowly closed her eyes.
The head of her bodyguards urgently said, “Ms. Juliana, there''s still a glimmer of hope. You must not
give up. I''ll cover for you. You must escape quickly.”
After he finished speaking, he began to push Juliana away.
Juliana swiftly grabbed his arm and said with augh, “Tucker has gone mad. For the sake of power

and status, he was willing to risk his entire family to bring Sofie down. Now that he has murderous
intentions toward me, how can he possibly let me go so easily? Even if I manage to evade his capture
today, the assassins outside won''t let me off the hook. How can I possibly escape this intense
encirclement when I''m unarmed and have no one by my side to protect me? So give up already.
Having loyal subordinates who are willing to die with me, I''m more than satisfied.”
“But...”
Before the bodyguard could finish, Tucker burst into a sinisterugh again. “At least you have some
self-awareness. Originally, I didn''t want to kill you. I wanted you to live a lingering life in this world and
spend your entire life as a widow in the Hoffman family. Ah, how fate toys with us. Just a couple of days
ago, I inadvertently let slip in front of you and revealed that the confidential documents are in Zoey''s
possession. If you get your hands on that document before me, wouldn''t I be at the mercy of a young
option is to forever seal your lips.”
After he finished speaking, he shouted at the bodyguards who had already approached Juliana,
“Doesn''t she want to go to the secret room? Then fulfill her wish. Throw her in, set a fire, and leave no
trace of her remains.”
“Yes.”
Several ck-d bodyguards reached out to grab Juliana''s shoulder.
At that moment, a voiceced with yful mockery echoed in the silent darkness. The tone was deep
and rich with a touch ofnguor.
“Mr. Tucker, oh no, I should address you as Mr. Hoffman now. Moranta is indeed your territory. You''re
also in charge of the Hoffman family. But when ites to my woman, it''s not your ce to dispose of
her as you please.”
As the final note fell, a tall and slender figure slowly emerged from the shadows.
The man was dressed in a gray suit, and his thin lips curved into a faint smile.
However, a faint scent of blood emanating from him diminished his elegant demeanor.
Upon hearing the voice of the neer, a trace of disbelief shed in Juliana''s eyes.
When she saw his face, the look of surprise slowly faded away.
It''s him.
He''s really here.
At this critical juncture between life and death, he arrived under the cover of night and was unafraid to
confront the local tyrant, Tucker, head-on.
Is he here to save me?
Tucker looked in the direction from which the sound came, and his gazended on the man who was
Everyone said that Zeke, the head of the Shurmer family, was gentle and refined. He fully embodied
the grand demeanor of someone from a prestigious medical family.
He had provided countless aid to impoverished mountainous regions.
Though not a doctor, he had saved countless people from the torment of illness.
This man, without a doubt, had achieved great sess and fame.
However, standing there that day, an inexplicable sense of fear stirred up within Tucker.
How did he manage to arrive here without making a sound?
Tucker''s subordinates clearly stated that he had nted threeyers of assassins within a few miles
radius.
Did this guy finish off all of them?
“Mr. Shurmer, I''ve long admired your reputation, yet we''ve never had the chance to meet. May I ask
what brings you here today?”
Zeke raised his eyebrows, and his gaze fell on the stunned face of Juliana.
This girl''s still a bit na?ve after all.
Even if she has forced herself to grow, it will still take time to adapt to those dark tactics.
If it weren''t for him secretly having people protect her all along, she probably would not have escaped
tonight''s disaster.
“Mr. Hoffman, we are both clear-minded people. Let''s speak frankly and openly. The Hoffman family is
now entirely in your hands. I have no intention of interfering. The only thing I ask for is the woman you
are nning to harm. Since she''s of no use to you anymore, why not hand her over to me? This way,
both of us can walk away unscathed tonight.”
Tucker slightly squinted his eyes. The expression in his gaze was obscure and unclear.
He had a premonition that he had be a mouse in a trap.
If he was determined to take Juliana''s life that day, then he should not expect to leave that ce alive.
“She''s the only bargaining chip I have right now. If I hand her over to you and you turn around and kill
me, wouldn''t I be digging my own grave?”
Zeke spread his hands. His expression was a mix of amusement and seriousness as he said, “This is
the territory of the Hoffman family. If I were to kill you here, wouldn''t it be a severe p in the face to
the Hoffman family? Trust me. I value my life highly. Killing you would bring me nothing but trouble. It''s
simply not worth it.”
After some thought, Tucker agreed as well.
Besides, he was in a position of great power now. There was absolutely no need for him to go down
because of a little girl.
It was simply not worth it.
His n had failed now because he had been outmaneuvered by others. Tucker no longer had the
audacity to be arrogant.
If he wanted to live, he could onlypromise.
“Alright, since you''ve cut me off, I have nothing more to say. I can give you this woman. But you must
agree to let me take the young man from the secret room. Do you have any objections, Mr. Shurmer?”
