Suddenly There Are Three (Bailey and Artemis) novel Chapter 174

Chapter 174

When Bailey heard that Rhonda was here, she rushed over, only to see the latter bawling her eyes out. At the sight, Bailey could not help giving a mocking chuckle.

Zayron, too, rolled his eyes at the sobbing woman. “Why are you crying? He's not dead, you know? But with the way you're howling, you might as well start preparing for his funeral.”

Whipping her head, Rhonda glared at Zayron sharply.

“I bet you must be looking forward to him dying, huh? After all, once he's dead, you'll become the next heir of the Luther family.”

“What the f*ck did you say?” Rage welled within Zayron when he heard Rhonda's scathing remarks. “Don't assume things on your own. I have no desire to acknowledge the Luther family, nor do I ever think of myself as part of the family.”

Rhonda could not be bothered to continue arguing with the brat and turned to look at Bailey.

“You cold-hearted b*tch! How could you poison my son? Aren't you afraid of retribution?”

Bailey burst out laughing.

Me? Poisoning her son? Hah! What a crazy mutt. Here she goes again.

“Well, there's nothing I can do about it since I've taken a fancy to your son's inheritance,” she responded. “I wanted my son to take his place, so I did what I had to. Now, can you take a guess at what's the most effective way to clear an obstacle?”

Upon hearing that, Rhonda widened her eyes, a look of disbelief on her face.

She did not expect Bailey to say such a thing.

Turning around, she saw Artemis standing at the entrance, and she rushed toward him without saying a word.

However, she was left hugging air when the man unhesitatingly dodged away.

With teary eyes, Rhonda looked at Artemis. Dialing up her pitiful act, she uttered, “Did you hear that, Artemis? She said she was aiming for Max's inheritance, and that she wanted her son to replace him. Why don't you send such a cruel woman to prison? Are you really going to stand idly by as she harms our son?”

Artemis raised his brow, giving her a side-eye. Smiling, he asked, “Who told you that Maxton would be the next heir of the Luther family? Was it me? My dad? Or the Luther family's elders?”

Stunned, Rhonda staggered and took a few steps back. It was not until her back hit the wall that she muttered coldly, “So, in order to help Bailey's son become the next heir of the Luther family, you actually stood by and watch as that b*tch turned Max into a fool? You don't deserve to be a father, Artemis.”

Artemis shook his head. He could not be more disappointed in the woman before him.

He decided right then and there that he would not interfere, even if Maxton chose not to acknowledge Rhonda as his mother.

This woman only has money and status in her mind. Maxton is nothing but a cash cow to her. A normal mother would never have the time to think of anything else if she sees the dire condition her son was in. If Rhonda had the slightest affection for her child, she wouldn't have left him hanging at the side while she bicker with another person over some fickle matter.

“Men, take this woman away.”

“No!” Rhonda roared. “Artemis, you can't keep protecting Bailey! She's the culprit! She's the one that turned Max into a fool! I want her in prison! She needs to bear the consequences of her action!”

A look of impatience flashed across Artemis' handsome face, and he ordered the manservant that came in, “Take her away immediately.”

Before Rhonda could even resist, she was dragged away by two burly men.

“Bailey, you will suffer retribution! You won't die an easy death! I curse you! And I curse your two b*stard children to have a painful death!”
