Suddenly There Are Three (Bailey and Artemis) novel Chapter 240

Chapter 240

Despite being one of the Ten Acclaimed Socialites, Zoey had a really nasty temper.

“How stupid. What's the point of doing it after the ceremony? The only way to stop this wedding is to act before they walk the red carpet! Is that understood?” she scolded.

“Y-Yes, I'll make the arrangements right away!”

Zoey gently swirled the glass in her hand as her lips curled into a malicious smile.

Oh, things are about to get interesting. There's no way the Luther family would be able to continue the wedding after everyone sees Rhonda having sex with some random stranger! This is what she gets for stealing my man!

Having lost her patience after waiting seven long years, Zoey was determined to kick Rhonda out of the Luther family for good.

Meanwhile, a waiter entered the dressing room with a glass of milk on a tray.

“Here you go, Mrs. Luther. Have some milk. You haven't eaten anything all morning.”

Since Rhonda was indeed feeling a little hungry, she took the glass of milk over without giving it much thought. “Step outside, all of you. I want some time alone.”

“Yes.”

About five minutes later, Rhonda realized something was not right as her body started heating up, and waves of discomfort swept over her.

Thinking she had yet to recover from her recent miscarriage, Rhonda staggered to her feet and glanced about. Since there were no restrooms in the dressing room, she lifted the hem of her gown and went looking outside.

The corridor was completely quiet as she made her way toward the restroom at the end of it.

Suddenly, the door to one of the rooms along the corridor was opened. An arm then reached out and dragged her into the room.

“Ah! Help—”

The door closed before she could finish her sentence, and the corridor was plunged into silence once again.

Meanwhile, Felicity was socializing with a couple of wealthy women when Beatrice politely interrupted them and pulled her aside.

“It's almost eleven now, Mrs. Luther. Why isn't Artemis here yet?”

“What? It's eleven already?” Felicity paused and glanced at her watch. “Oh, my goodness! I was so busy socializing with the guests that I forgot about the time! I'll give Artemis a call and ask him where he's at!”

She then retrieved her phone from her handbag and punched in Artemis' number.

Right as she was about to make that call, the projector on the stage started flickering all of a sudden. What followed was an ear-piercing buzz and shocking footage.

As the lighting in the footage was bright enough, all the guests were able to see what was going on clearly.

The sounds of them gasping in shock echoed throughout the hall, and everyone started freaking out moments later.

“My goodness! Isn't that the bride?”

“Who else would be wearing a wedding gown worth three hundred million?”

“What is she doing? Is she having a quick one before the wedding ceremony? That guy on top of her doesn't look like Mr. Luther, though...”

“Oh, my... Is she seriously cheating on Mr. Luther in front of everyone?”

Felicity and Beatrice were so shocked that they both froze on the spot.

Standing among the crowd, Gerald simply frowned when he saw the footage.

Artemis shook his head. “I'm not sure. This is just my guess at the moment. I'll need to head over to Century Hotel and investigate this matter.”

Meanwhile, in the dressing room, Rhonda had truly experienced what it was like to fall from grace as she lay shivering in Beatrice's arms with a red blanket wrapped around her body.

“You're okay now, Ronni. Everything is all right. Don't be afraid, okay?” Beatrice comforted her, but Rhonda was in too much shock to hear her.

I can't believe I got violated at my own wedding! This has got to be the most humiliating thing I've ever experienced! How will I ever recover from this?

Gerald sat in front of her with Felicity, who had passed out from the shock in his arms.

“This isn't Ronni's fault, Mr. Luther. Someone set her up! Luckily for us, we were able to stop it before things got out of hand. All that's left to do is investigate this matter and find out who did it!” Clarence mumbled nervously from the side.

Gerald simply kept quiet.

Suddenly, the door to the dressing room was opened, and Simon came in saying, “Dad, we have the situation outside under control. All the guests and journalists are currently being contained in the event hall. I have yet to find out who drugged Rhonda, though. Whoever it was did a really good job at covering their tracks. I can't find anything from the surveillance camera footage, either.”

Gerald nodded. “What about your brother? Is he here?”

“He said he'll be here soon.”

Gerald gave it some thought and told Clarence, “Looks like we won't be able to proceed with this wedding today. While this incident has brought great shame to both our families, everyone else will place the blame on your daughter alone if we can't find out who drugged her.”

After hearing that, Clarence went pale instantly

No, this can't be happening! I've been waiting for my daughter to marry into the Luther family for so many years! Why would something like this happen now?

Rhonda, who had been silent the whole time, stammered all of a sudden, “N-No, I'm not canceling the wedding! I will become Artemis' bride no matter what!”
