Chapter 83
If that chap is willing to be responsible for the mother and children, I will wish them all the best. If herefuses, then...
“I won't be going to your mansion. I want to look for my mommy.”
Zayron's voice brought him back to his senses.
He could not help but smile when he recalled his inappropriate thoughts.
What will happen if Simon refuses to take responsibility? Will I still be able to replace Edmund'sposition in her heart? Will that woman be willing to marry someone like me?
“You can choose to stay here, or you can choose to come with me. But you can't look for your mom.Right now, there is too much gossip about her, and that will affect your daily life. That isn't what shewants for all of you, nor is it what I want. As a man, you must learn to weigh the pros and cons.Understand?”
Zayron pouted before saying ruthlessly, “I'm not a man.”
“Oh, is that so?” Artemis cocked a brow and grabbed the boy's pants. “Let me take a look.”
“Pervert.” Zayron held on tightly to his pants and moved a few meters away from Artemis. He stared atthe grown-up and said through gritted teeth, “Fine, I'll go to your mansion. But don't try to be funny withme. If you dare to touch me, I'll cripple your son and make sure there's no heir for the Luther family.”
Artemis smiled and said casually, “My son isn't the sole heir of the Luther family. There are others.”
He seemed to be implying something.
“Cunning old fox,” mumbled Zayron. He knew that Artemis had hacked into Kai's medical system andfound out about the paternity test result. “You will be punished for stealing confidential information.”
Artemis chuckled and ignored him. He walked up to Susan, caressed her head, and said gently, “Youare one of the artists of Luther Group. That means I'm your boss. Would you mind staying in mymansion for the next few days?”
He had always yearned for an obedient, kind, and sweet daughter who would melt his heart.
Unfortunately, that wish of his would never come true.
Nevertheless, he was very fond of that niece of his.
Susan was completely mesmerized by his gentle eyes. She stared at him transfixed before noddingand said, “That would be nice. It will be my honor to stay at your mansion for the next few days.”
Artemis bent down to kiss her on her forehead. “It's also my honor to be able to invite an internationalchild star to my house.”
Maxton rolled his eyes and was speechless.
Am I still his son? Unbelievable!
“Old man, I also want to go to your mansion.”
Artemis glanced at him coldly and mocked, “Didn't you say you want to stay in this tiny place? Now thatit's empty, there should be enough space for you. Why do you want to go back?”
Maxton was at a loss for words.
At the Jefferson residence, Beatrice was rushing down from the second floor into the living room.
“Ronni, good news. The court says that Juliana has used Snowflake's authority to submit a claim.”
Rhonda jumped up from the couch and looked surprised. “Really? Mom, is this news reliable?”
“Totally. A friend of mine who is working at the court told me Juliana appeared with Snowflake'scertificate and trophy when she won The Ultimate Designer four years ago; the court immediately filedthe case. In two days' time, Bailey will receive the subpoena. Once the court case begins, it will be tooshameful for Bailey to face the whole world. Regardless of the sentencing, Bailey will never be able toturn things around. She will always be known as the copycat in the industry. Her career will be over.”
A malicious look appeared on Rhonda's face. “Finally, the day has arrived. God is great.”
With an icy smile, Beatrice said, “This isn't enough. It isn't enough to finish Bailey off once and for all.”
“What do you mean?”
“We have to let the Chivers family know that the little b*stard isn't Edmund's flesh and blood. Once sheloses the Chivers family as a backer, we can do whatever we want with her.”
Rhonda took a deep breath and suppressed the euphoria within her. “Mom, since you mentioned it, doyou have a solution? What's your plan?”
A vicious smile appeared on Beatrice's stunning face.
“Find a way to get them to perform another paternity test. We will tell the media that Bailey had tried topass off an illegitimate child as an heir of the Chivers family in order to climb up the social ladder.Another wave of public criticism will hit her. Combined with the scandal of the plagiarism issue, I doubtBailey will be able to get back up on her feet again.”
Rhonda smiled triumphantly. “Sure. We'll do as you say, Mom.”
In the study at the Luther residence, Yoel narrowed his eyes and stared at Felicity. There washesitation on his face. “Felicity, aren't we crossing the line? No matter how evil Bailey is, we shouldn'tdo this to her.”
Felicity glared at him and said through gritted teeth, “If you don't hit back now, you will see your sonbringing that b*stard back home to be the heir of the Chivers family. Twenty years later, when Edmundhands the family over to that b*stard, that will be the end of the Chivers family's bloodline. How do youintend to answer to our ancestors?”
“I...” Yoel was put in a difficult position. “Are you sure that child isn't Edmund's flesh and blood?” novelbin
Felicity snorted. “Both Bailey and Ronni got pregnant at the same time. Back then, Edmund was inSpringwyn with Father for an entire month. There was no way he could have gotten Bailey pregnant.”
Yoel went quiet.
He was not stupid. On the contrary, he was wiser than most people after heading Chivers Group formany decades.
Since his sister had said so, he would be a fool if he still trusted the paternity test result.
“Since that's that case, we can always settle things with Bailey in private. Why do we have to be soruthless? Felicity, we are all elders. We should forgive and forget.”
“No.”
Felicity looked displeased and raised her voice. “If we don't ruin her reputation, Eddy will never give herup. What happens if he insists on marrying her? Do you really want to watch him make a b*stard intothe heir of the Chivers family?”
Yoel rubbed his temples and sighed before saying, “Even so, there's no need to announce the paternitytest result to the public.”
Felicity was infuriated. “How are we going to expose her lies if we don't announce the test result to thepublic? We will show everyone both the authentic and the fake test reports. When that happens, it willcause public outrage. By then, there is no way Bailey will be able to stay on in Hallsbay. I want her toget out of Hallsbay for good so that she will never come near my son and nephew again.”
Yoel knew he would not be able to dissuade his sister, so he conceded, “All right then. The paternitytest report is still with me. I'll get the media to announce it.”
