Chapter 213
I'm definitely going to kill him!
The next day, Clarence and Beatrice came to visit the Luther family.
Before they raised the topic of marriage, Felicity took the lead to talk about it.
“Mr. and Mrs. Jefferson, since Ronni is pregnant with a second child, I think it's time to talk about her
marriage with Artemis. When you have time, Gerald and I should pay you a visit and discuss further.”
Clarence was overjoyed deep down, but he looked hesitant and pretended to be in a dilemma. “What
does Artemis think? After all, they are the ones getting married. If the groom-to-be doesn't agree, it's
meaningless for us to say anything.”
In fact, Felicity was determined to let Rhonda marry Artemis.
I know that Zoey is a lot better than Rhonda. Anyone who is rational would choose Zoey over Rhonda.
However, she is Waverly's daughter! Waverly is the person I am most jealous of. If her daughter
marries into our family, I would never have another happy day in my life.
“Don't worry, Mr. Jefferson. Before I held the press conference yesterday, I tried to ask someone from
the public relations department to sound Artemis out. He did not stop me, which proved that he
recognized the baby in Ronni's belly. I believe he will agree to the marriage. If you're still worried, I'll let
him take Ronni to register the marriage first. What do you think?”
Clarence quickly nodded and said, “Then we need your help to get this done. Now that they have two
children, I really think it's time for them to get married.”
“Sure, sure. What Mr. Jefferson said is absolutely right. Artemis is rather busy these two days, and he
has not returned home yet. I will talk to him once he is back. You just wait for the good news!”
Meanwhile, at Veronique's laboratory, Bailey walked out of a room with a test report.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtArtemis hurriedly stood up from the couch and asked anxiously, “How is it?”
Bailey shook her head and handed the report to him without saying anything.
Artemis took over the report and turned to the last page as he did not have the patience to go through
all the data on the front pages.
The sentence on the last page read: Specimen A and Specimen B are not biologically related.
Artemis squeezed the papers tightly, and his eyes flashed with the fire of fury.
It was not surprising that he was so angry. He had been fooled for seven years. Anyone in that situation
would be angry too, not to mention Artemis.
Bailey grabbed his arm and said, “Please calm down. This is an expected outcome, isn't it?”
Artemis closed his eyes abruptly and took several deep breaths. When he opened his eyes again, he
said, “Bailey, don't you think this is such a coincidence?”
Stunned, Bailey looked at him. “What do you mean?”
Artemis put his hand on her shoulder and said in a hoarse voice, “You and Rhonda gave birth on the
same day. Your first child was stillborn. At the same time, she came to the Luther family with an infant
whose biological mother was unknown. Don't you think all of these are too coincidental?”
Bailey immediately understood what Artemis was trying to say. His words sent shivers up and down her
spine.
“Y-You mean Rhonda took away my first child and pretended to be hers? T-This is impossible. Simon is
Zayron and Susan's father, while you are Max's father. How could the three of them be triplets when
they have different fathers?”
Artemis rubbed his eyebrows. “Hold on, hold on. Let's not rush to the conclusion. We have to calm
down and think carefully about what went wrong.”
With that, he slowly released her and started pacing back and forth in the room.
Bailey froze on the spot for a moment and suddenly lowered her body to pick up the report on the floor.
She seemed to have thought of something.
However, she put on a disappointed look after looking at the report for a long while.
Noticing her strange behavior, Artemis squatted beside her and asked anxiously, “What's wrong? Did
you find something?”
Bailey pursed her lips and said in a hoarse voice, “If Max is my first child, then he should have a blood
relationship with Rhonda too since Rhonda is my sister. I've read this report very carefully, but none of
the data shows that Max and Rhonda are related.”
A trace of dejection flashed through Artemis' face, and he blurted out, “Are you and Rhonda really
sisters?”
Bailey frowned. “What?”
Artemis realized that he had said something inappropriate, and he quickly apologized, “I'm sorry. I
shouldn't have said that. Please don't take it to heart.”
Bailey glanced at him, stood up slowly, and said in a low voice, “For now, I can only be sure that Max is
not Rhonda's son. As for who Max's biological mother is, you have to find out yourself. I really shouldn't
give myself any false hopes. My son is dead, and I shouldn't deceive myself.”
Artemis stood up too. “I'm sorry for making such an inappropriate inference. I shouldn't have raised any
false hopes for you too.”
Bailey waved her hand and changed the topic. “What are you going to do with Rhonda?”
Artemis smiled coldly, and a hint of chilliness flashed through his eyes. This was the real Artemis, the
man at the helm of Luther Group who was unscrupulous and ruthless.
“Since she's not Max's mother, then I don't have to care about her so much. She has fooled my family
for seven years. I think it's time for her to pay the price.”
At night, Artemis returned to the Luther residence.
In the living room, Felicity tugged his hand and talked a lot.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmShe thought he would refuse as always, but to her surprise, he readily agreed with the marriage
arrangement.
“I leave it to you to make the decision on this matter. There's no need to ask for my opinion. You guys
go ahead with the discussion. I'll go upstairs to check on Rhonda first.”
Felicity put on a bright smile. “Yes, you should go and take a look at her. Carrying a child is not an easy
job. You should care more about her.”
“Okay.”
I will definitely care more about her!
Artemis walked straight to Rhonda's room on the second floor and pushed open the door that was left
ajar.
His movement was not big, but he still woke Rhonda who was dozing off. A smile appeared on her face
when she opened her eyes and realized it was Artemis.
“Artemis, you're back.”
Artemis stopped three meters away from her bed, staring at her coldly.
How dare you still want to sleep with me when you're pregnant with an illegitimate child?
At that moment, Rhonda did not know what Artemis was scheming in his mind.
Rhonda slowly suppressed her smile under the cold-eyed stare of Artemis. She looked at him
awkwardly and asked in a trembling voice, “W-What's wrong? Why are you looking at me like that?”
Artemis' lips curved into a devilish smile, and he fixed his gaze on Rhonda's flat belly. “I hope you give
birth to a daughter,” he said softly.
Rhonda was stunned.
A daughter? No way! I can't give birth to a daughter! Can I expect a daughter to take over the assets of
the Luther family for me?
“A-Artemis, what if it's a son? Would you not love him anymore?”
