Female Novel
Chapter 249
The moment Rhonda entered the tearoom in the Luther residence, Felicity quickly stood up to welcomeher. Needless to say, Rhonda was slightly caught off-guard.
“Hey, Ronni! You look so much better now. Indeed, it was a good choice to let you heal in the Jeffersonresidence. Surely, your mental health had improved with your parents taking care of you. I was eventhinking about getting someone to bring you over.”
Hearing that, Rhonda sneered inwardly. If Gerald didn't invite Zoey to Luther Group, you wouldn't haveeven thought about me, let alone getting someone to fetch me from the Jefferson residence. What ajoke!
“Thank you, Mrs. Luther. I'm feeling much better now. By the way, is Ms. Shurmer here yet?” Rhondaasked.
Felicity's expression darkened immediately when Rhonda mentioned Zoey. That b*tch is even moreannoying than Bailey!
“Since the party is being held in the evening, I think she's only going to be here in the afternoon. Ronni,you're Artemis' lawful wife. This time around, you must carry yourself as his wife and take good care ofMs. Shurmer, okay?” Felicity uttered.
“Don't worry, Mrs. Luther. I'll deal with her accordingly. I won't let you down,” Rhonda answered. Ofcourse! I don't need you to remind me what to do. She had used abortifacient and aphrodisiac drugs onme. Zoey had ruined my pregnancy and my wedding. I'll surely make her pay!
“Good! You're a smart kid, so you know what's on my mind. You're indeed my ideal daughter-in-law!
Any woman who wishes to come into the family will need our approval!”
The corner of Rhonda's mouth turned up. “You've been looking after me, Mrs. Luther, so I'll repay youand show Ms. Shurmer her place.”
Bailey had lunch at the Chivers residence.
After lunch, Edmund invited her to watch a movie, but she turned him down. novelbin
She told him something had happened at the pharmaceutical factory, so she would be busy that night.
Instead of convincing her, Edmund sent her to the pharmaceutical factory personally.
When they were in the car, Bailey asked curiously, “Edmund, I heard that the head of the Shurmerfamily, Zeke, is your friend. How is he as a person?”
Edmund flashed a smile. “Why are you bringing Zeke up all of a sudden?”
“It's nothing. I'm just asking because this man is young and famous, and I'm curious.”
“Well, what can I say about Zeke...” Edmund fell into deep thought. After a while, he smiled and said,“The Shurmer family started off as a manufacturer of medicines. Now, they have thousands ofpharmaceutical factories all over the world. Although I don't know much, I know that he has a goodcharacter. In other words, he's not a person who would harm others for personal gains.”
“Is that so?” Bailey flashed a faint smile. “If he had gotten your approval, I bet that's really the case. I
must find an opportunity to know him better.”
“Sure! I'll introduce you to him.”
Bailey then turned to look outside the window. Is Zeke really not capable of harming others for personalgains? If that's the case, who on earth added the other substances in the new batch of medicinesproduced by Dyke Pharmaceutical?
Back at the medical base, Artemis didn't go to work that day, and he was having a cup of coffee on thebalcony outside Maxton's ward.
He then received a text from Ken saying: After leaving the Chivers residence, Mr. Edmund had sentMs. Bailey to Luther Group's pharmaceutical factory. Ms. Bailey is now at the production wing, and Mr.Edmund had driven away.
Artemis smiled. Well, the woman's smart. If she dared to keep hiding in the Chivers residence, I woulddefinitely go and look for her there.
He then got up and went to the ward. After saying a few words to his son, he turned toward theentrance.
Seeing that, Maxton asked, “Hey! Where are you going?”
“I'm going on a date with your mommy.”
Maxton was rendered speechless. What the f*ck? Since when has he become so romantic?
That afternoon in the Luther residence, laughter and cheerful chatter reverberated inside the livingroom.
“You've become prettier, Zoey! You have such a unique charm! If I were a man, I would definitely be allover you!” Caridee exclaimed.
Zoey smiled at Caridee and uttered gracefully, “You're also getting prettier, Caridee. You've changed alot! I'm so sorry I couldn't make it to your coming-of-age ceremony. Please don't take offense, okay?”
“Why would I?” Caridee smiled and waved a gift box in her hand. “You've already given me a gift tomake up for it, Zoey. However, today is your birthday. How could I let you give me a gift?”
Zoey smiled and replied, “You're welcome!” After saying that, she turned toward Gerald and asked, “Mr.Luther, where's Mrs. Luther? Why have I not seen her?”
Gerald checked his watch and smiled. “She should be watering the plants in the garden at this hour.She'll be back in a while.”
Zoey got up and said politely, “I shall go to the garden and say hi to Mrs. Luther.”
“Sure.” Gerald glanced at Caridee and instructed, “You go with her.”
“Okay! I need to use the bathroom first. Zoey, wait for me at the entrance to the garden, okay?”
“Okay.”
While walking along the corridor, Zoey couldn't find Felicity. Instead, she bumped into Rhonda.
“Hi, Ms. Shurmer. Mrs. Luther was asking about you. She was waiting for your arrival, so she got me tocome over to see if you've arrived,” Rhonda uttered.
Zoey instinctively took a step backward and nodded. “Thank you, Ms. Rhonda. Where's Mrs. Luther?Would you mind bringing me to her?”
Rhonda scoffed when she heard that. Ms. Rhonda? It seems like this woman doesn't know my statusyet. It's all right. I shall teach her a lesson.
“I think you ought to address me differently, Ms. Shurmer. After all, everyone knows I've married intothe Luther family. You may address me as Mrs. Luther. That would be more appropriate, right?”Rhonda asked.
In response, Zoey smiled at her and answered calmly, “If I remember correctly, your wedding withArtemis was canceled, right? In fact, everyone knows that Artemis is still single. I'll address you as Mrs.Luther when you exchange wedding rings with Artemis.”
She's challenging me! She's blatantly challenging me! B*tch, the wedding wouldn't have gottencanceled if she wasn't secretly causing trouble! She's made a fool out of me, and everyone in Hallsbayis laughing at me. Luckily for her, I don't have evidence of her being the culprit yet. However, themoment I find dirt on her, I'm telling Mr. Luther right away!
Despite being enraged, Rhonda smiled faintly and replied, “All these years, Artemis had beencelebrating your birthdays for you, right, Ms. Shurmer? I wonder how you feel now that he's not here tocelebrate it with you this year. However, it's not like you can blame Artemis. You're just unlucky
because you share the same birthday as Luther Group's lead designer, Bailey Jefferson. He had evenbooked the entire top floor of Mystique Land for her. I hope you don't mind that, Ms. Shurmer.”
