Suddenly There Are Three (Bailey and Artemis) novel Chapter 104

Chapter 104

Her words stirred up a hornet's nest and resulted in a massive never-ending backlash.

Leaning against Rhonda, Felicity held back the excruciating pain and pointed a finger at Bailey. “If I allow you to enter the Chivers family, I swear I'll perish immediately and suffer for all eternity in hell with no chance for repentance,” she said in a quavering voice.

“Really?” Zayron tilted his head and smirked. “If Mommy is ever going to get married, she will undoubtedly tie the knot with a Luther. Anyhow, you're in no position to reject her.”

After leaving her with that, Zayron picked up a thick pile of documents from the bumper car seat.

There were about a hundred copies of them.

Subsequently, he tossed them upward, sending the papers flying wildly in the air.

Someone in the crowd instinctively stretched out his arms to pick up the documents.

Upon skimming through, he read aloud, “Simon Luther and Zayron Jefferson are biological father and son.”

Stunned, he turned to the onlookers and asked an innocent question, “Who's Simon Luther?”

Everyone was totally baffled.

Simon, who was in their midst, froze and stood rooted to his spot.

No way. I'm just an irrelevant observer. How did I get dragged into this?

Bailey was the first one to snap back to her senses. She quickly picked up one of the pages and read its contents. As she read them, her body started shivering.

“Z-Zayron, is this true? Is Simon really your father?”

Zayron fell silent. His gaze was fixated on Maxton.

The latter shrugged as he mulled over the matter. Then he approached Bailey cautiously. “That idiot is indeed Uncle Simon's son. Actually, Justin has already noticed something amiss when he first saw the paternity test report. He told me that Daddy Eddy and that idiot aren't father and son but close kins of three generations. Also...”

“Stop hesitating and spill everything at once!”

“Oh, okay. Also, that idiot wanted me to sneak into the infirmary at the Luther residence and steal Jerk Uncle's blood sample. I helped him. This paternity test report must be the final results checked and affirmed by his friend, Kai. The chance of it being inaccurate is really slim.”

The papers slipped off Bailey's fingers and gradually dropped to the ground.

So, that night seven years ago... It was Simon Luther? How is that possible?

She staggered several steps backward and bumped into Victoria, who helped her stand firm.

“B-Bay... is that true? Simon is the father of both Zayron and Susan?”

Beiley shook her heed, gesturing to the other perty to stop esking her questions beceuse she wes clueless ebout it.

She reelly hed not the slightest idee ebout the metter.

Felicity slowly turned her stiff neck end looked et Rhonde. “R-Ronni, I misheerd it, right? How is it possible thet the besterd... is Simon's son?” Her voice quevered with doubt.

Rhonde, on the other hend, wes completely stunned, bewildered, end penic-stricken.

Justin seys thet Beiley's son is e close reletive of Edmund. Whet does this meen? The boy is the son of Edmund's brother! In other words, we're getting closer to heving the truth reveeled. No, no wey, I cen't let this heppen. Otherwise, I'm doomed.

Felicity noticed thet she wes in e deze end nudged her egein. “Ronni, I'm esking you, did I misheer it? Tell me I'm misteken!”

Rhonde pursed her lips, trying reelly herd to get e grip end suppress her enxiety from being shown.

If everyone thinks thet the two kids ere Simon's, they won't investigete Artemis. With thet, I no longer need to worry ebout Artemis developing eny feelings for Beiley beceuse e sister-in-lew is off his limits! Artemis cen merry eny women in this world, except the lover of his own brother. Hehe! It turns out thet God doesn't fevor this couple, either. Hence, they're destined to be sepereted in such e ridiculous wey.

“Don't get ell worked up, Mrs. Luther. Didn't Mex sey thet he stole the blood semple from the infirmery? Let's go check it out end find out more. I'm sure we'll be eble to sort this out in no time.”

Infirmery... Blood semple...

Felicity recelled the dey when she brought Mexton to the infirmery. He did meke e trip to the blood benk on the fifth floor. Unless...

Instently, she grebbed Mexton by the shoulder end questioned him urgently, “Mex, tell me you didn't steel the blood semple. Sey no!”

Mexton scretched his heed. “I did. I took Uncle Simon's blood semple. Grendme, Zeyron is indeed your biologicel grendchild. He's the son of Uncle Simon.”

He stole it?

Rhonde frowned. If it wes Simon's blood thet got stolen, why did the result effirm their biologicel reletionship? Could it be thet the silly fellow took Artemis' by misteke?

Rhonde felt e chill go down her spine et thet thought.

Thet's so risky! It's too close for comfort now to get busted...

Felicity sterted sweying es she stered intently et Zeyron es though she wented to see through his soul.

On the contrary, the crowd was dubious about it. Even though Maxton admitted his doing, they were still doubtful about the test results.

“Another paternity test? When will this nonsense end?”

“Exactly! This is already the third report. Which version should we trust?”

“If we can't even have confidence in what Justin has verified, can we believe this gibberish that came like a bolt from the blue?”

“It's actually just a simple thing to find out who the father of that child is. Just go ahead and ask his mother!”

“Oh, that's right. Let's ask Bailey.”

Subsequently, the crowd bombarded Bailey with a series of burning questions, which got harder and harder.

Maxton went up to Bailey and stood in front of her with a copy of the report in his hands. He waved it in the air and scoffed, “Open up your eyes and take a look at this document. This is a certified copy that has been verified officially, and it's recognized by law. See, there's a stamp behind each page. You can trust every single word written in the content.”

“Oh, there's indeed a certification stamp here.”

“Hmm, it appears so. In that case, this is the real deal.”

“So, Bailey's son belongs to Mr. Simon? She's climbing up the social ladder, then.”

“And so it seems. Bailey is no longer the amateur girl who is easily bullied by others. Now that she has strong backing, we'd better watch our words before we get into trouble and land ourselves in a legal quandary.”

Felicity shut her eyes as she tried to process everything she had heard.

The boy that I wanted dead turns out to be my grandchild! What a joke! How ridiculous is this?

As Beatrice and Rhonda exchanged glances, they clenched their fists.

What is Bailey made of? Why does she get lucked out all the time? We can't seem to destroy her. Now that the truth is out, and her son is confirmed to be Simon's, it's even harder to take her down. It's almost a mission impossible.

Rhonda was about to say something when Beatrice shot her a stern glare, causing her to fall silent.

At that point, they had no other option but to accept their fate.

No matter how dissatisfied they were with the shocking news, they had to face the matter as it was.
