Suddenly There Are Three (Bailey and Artemis) novel Chapter 237

Chapter 237

Zoey looked down and saw the headlines in the newspaper. The glaring word, “miscarriage,” immediately entered her sight.

Rhonda had a miscarriage? Haha! What great news!

“What do you mean, Zeke? What does Mrs. Luther having a miscarriage have to do with me?”

“Zoey.” Zeke dragged her up from the couch and demanded furiously, “Do you think you can hide anything from me? Do you think you're skilled enough to deceive me?”

Lowering her head slowly, Zoey replied in a nonchalant tone, “I don't know what you're talking about, Zeke. Rhonda's miscarriage has nothing to do with me. Don't accuse your own little sister.”

Zeke took a deep breath. Suppressing the fury within him, he said coldly, “Looks like you're going to keep denying it. If I don't produce any proof, you won't confess, right?”

With that, he took out a piece of paper from his pocket and placed it in front of her. “Three days ago, you obtained some abortifacient developed by Shurmer Group's pharmaceutical factory under my name. Since the effects of that particular abortifacient are too severe, it hasn't been released on the market yet. What did you need it for?”

Glancing at the retrieval form, Zoey replied with a smile, “One of my friends encountered a bottleneck when researching abortifacients. He asked me to obtain a prototype developed by Shurmer Group so he could examine it. Since he was so enthusiastic, I agreed. Are you going to reprimand me so harshly over such a minor matter?”

Zeke stared at her coldly. After a moment of silence, he chuckled lightly. “Very well. You've learned how to lie to your brother now, huh? Well done! Even if you want to go down the wrong path, as your brother, I cannot watch you commit these mistakes without doing anything. You refuse to confess, right? Fine! I'll go to the Luther residence and ask Artemis to give me the remnants of the abortifacient. Once I confirm that it is identical to the one developed by Shurmer Group, you'll find out what the consequences are.”

With that, he turned around and walked toward the door.

Zoey panicked. If Artemis found out she drugged Rhonda and caused the miscarriage, she would never have a chance to rise up the ranks.

“Zeke...” Crying out loud, she rushed forward and hugged Zeke. Then, she added through her sobs, “I admit it! I admit it, okay? I instructed a maid who I planted at the Luther residence to give Rhonda the abortifacient. Afraid that Artemis would find out that it was me, I didn't dare to buy it at a pharmacy. Hence, I had no choice but to obtain it from Shurmer Group's pharmaceutical factory. Zeke, you should know how much I love Artemis. I was the one who saved him seven years ago. Why should Rhonda, that useless b*tch, be the chosen one in the end?”

Zeke closed his eyes, which hid a hint of hostility. Although he was normally very gentle, there was naturally more to him than that as the head of such a massive family.

“Artemis has already gotten his marriage certificate with Rhonda. So what if you made her have a miscarriage? Artemis doesn't love you, so what's the point of forcing him to?”

“I don't care.” Zoey hugged him tightly and cried through tears, “I only want him! I refuse to marry anyone but him. Mr. Luther likes me too. When it comes to family background, appearance, and intellect, how can Rhonda even compare to me? One day, I'll chase her out of the Luther family. Other than me, no one else is allowed to marry Artemis.”

Zeke massaged his temples. Pushing her away slightly, he warned in a cold tone, “You can only do such harmful things once. Don't do that again. Otherwise, don't blame me for looking past our relationship and punishing you harshly.”

Zoey smirked, knowing that Zeke, who had always doted on her, would not do anything to her.

She was the precious daughter of the Shurmer family, and her parents were famous. With her background, she should be in a position to choose any man she wanted in the world.

In a mansion in the suburbs, Cadence was leaning against the couch and reading the newspapers with narrowed eyes.

A miscarriage? This isn't good news at all. There's something strange about this. Did Rhonda accidentally reveal the truth, leading the Luther family to eliminate her illegitimate child secretly?

However, he was not disappointed. It was not important whether that illegitimate child, assumed to be the Luther family's, would inherit the family's assets. The most important issue was whether he could kill Bailey.

No one could stop his revenge on Bailey.

In the living room at Shelbert Condominium, Zayron was working in front of the computer.
