Suddenly There Are Three (Bailey and Artemis) novel Chapter 212

Chapter 212

Shouldn't this tyrant lose his temper after hearing that? He should be rushing home now to convince Mrs. Luther to cancel the press conference. Why is the plot going in another direction?

“My dear friend, are you sure you heard what I said? I just said Mrs. Luther wanted to announce Ms. Rhonda's pregnancy to the public. She also wants to announce your marriage to Ms. Rhonda. The child in her belly—”

“It is mine for now,” Artemis said flatly.

Dwayne was at a loss for words.

“All right. Get out if you have nothing else to say. Don't get involved in the press conference. Just let my mother carry it out.” Artemis waved his hand as he would to a fly.

After watching Dwayne leave, Bailey raised her brow as she gazed at Artemis, chuckling. “Are you sure you're going to go with my idea? Once Mrs. Luther tells the world that Rhonda is pregnant, everyone will think the child in her belly is yours. It isn't that easy being someone who's cheated on.”

“It doesn't matter.” As Artemis grabbed her waist, he leaned into her ear and nibbled it.

“Oh, well. As long as it makes you happy. We'll teach her a good lesson once we prove she's not Max's mother. Let her enjoy her life for now. That way, she can experience the feeling of falling from heaven to hell.”

That afternoon, Felicity held a press conference at Luther Group's conference room, announcing to the world that Rhonda was one month into her pregnancy.

The news was a shock to the upper-class society.

It was a known fact that Artemis did not like Rhonda. Hence, he had always been indifferent to her for the past seven years. In fact, no one knew when she would be married into the family.

Just as everyone was making jokes about her, she had secretly lured Artemis to bed her, causing her to be pregnant with his child. Basically, she had turned her situation around again.

“Mrs. Luther, when will Mr. Luther and Ms. Rhonda's marriage be held?”

“We are curious. Ms. Rhonda is already bearing the second child. The wedding should be happening sooner than expected, right?”

Felicity did not have an accurate answer to those questions. Thus, she only managed, “Rhonda has contributed greatly to the Luther family by bearing our family children. I've already acknowledged her as my daughter-in-law long ago. As for the wedding, it should be happening soon. I'll hold another press conference to announce it.”

Meanwhile, in the living room of the Luther residence, Gerald grabbed the remote control on the coffee table and turned off the television.

Caridee, who had been sitting beside him, seem rather confused after watching the press conference. She asked, “Daddy, why is Mommy in a rush to announce Rhonda's pregnancy? They had just confirmed her pregnancy. And now, she's telling it to the world. What exactly is Mommy up to?”

Gerald shook his head with a smile. A sigh escaped his mouth as he said, “That's because the daughter-in-law I prefer isn't Rhonda. The future matriarch of the Luther family should be an international socialite. Rhonda hasn't reached my standards yet, even if she had borne Artemis a son. Still, she's not the ideal candidate I want.”

That piqued Caridee's interest. She scooted over to Gerald and held his arm, asking curiously, “Rhonda isn't your ideal daughter-in-law? Then, who's your ideal daughter-in-law? Come on. Tell me.”

Gerald smiled and said gently, “Zoey Shurmer, the eldest daughter of the Shurmer family of Lostaria. She's one of the Ten Acclaimed Socialites. She's very polished and elegant. Only she is worthy of your eldest brother.”

Caridee snorted. “Zoey, eh? Your taste is definitely better than Mommy's. I heard that many princes of Danontand, Gregan, and other countries want to take Zoey's hand in marriage to build a connection through marriage. Unfortunately, she has very high standards and fancies none of them.”

As soon as she finished, she blinked and grinned at Gerald. “Don't tell me you like Zoey because of Aunt Waverly? Didn't you pursue Aunt Waverly when you were younger? She then married the Shurmer family and gave birth to Zoey. Have you fallen in love with Aunt Waverly so much that you love her family, too? Is that why you think Zoey's the ideal daughter-in-law for Artemis?”

Gerald glared at her. “Nonsense. Your mom's imagination is going to run wild if she hears this. Besides, who doesn't admire anyone when they were younger? So many years have passed. I've been married to your mother for over twenty years, and she's borne me children. Isn't that greater than the puppy love from my younger days?”

Caridee pouted and mumbled, “I'm just kidding. Why do you have to be so fierce?”
