Suddenly There Are Three (Bailey and Artemis) novel Chapter 30

Chapter 30

“Your son?” Artemis found himself scoffing. “Since when has Max taken you as his mother? Have you ever heard him call you 'Mommy' all these years? Don't you think you should carefully think about it and reflect on yourself when you are such a pathetic failure of a mother?”

Rhonda stumbled backward at the harsh words from Artemis, and she was on the verge of breaking down.

“But I'm still his mother no matter how much of a failure I am, so you can't take him away from me. Never!”

Artemis, however, responded to her words with a cold glance. He stated, “It's not that I'm deliberately trying to take him away from you, but that he absolutely refuses to leave. He'd rather sleep in a tiny house that's no better than a dog house instead of a residence worth three billion.”

Rhonda was left speechless.

“Now get out of here before I decide to send you back to the Jefferson residence. Scram!”

Rhonda stumbled once more before running away defeatedly under Artemis' cold gaze.

The next day, in the CEO's office of Luther Group, Dwayne entered with the test result in his hand.

“Mr. Luther, the report is out. It says that the boy and Mr. Larson are not biologically related in any way.”

The hand Artemis was using to hold his pen stiffened for a second.

They're not father and son? So the rumor that she sold herself for money and delivered a stillborn is untrue?

But if his biological father is not Mr. Larson, then who is? Edmund?

“Mr. Luther, do you need me to change the name in the report to your name and announce that you and the little one are not biological father and son?”

“There's no need for that for now,” Artemis replied.

Surprised by Artemis' sudden change of mind, Dwayne raised his brows immediately.

Is he going to cave in to public opinion? Will he be taking that brat in and accepting that woman as his second wife? Hah! If that happens, things are going to be interesting for sure. Sisters sharing the same husband... The Luther family is in for a chaotic mess!

“Is Bailey here?” Artemis asked.

The smile on Dwayne's face intensified further when he heard that. He knew then that Artemis had set his sights on Bailey.

“Yes. She's now in Stephen's office. According to the rules, she must challenge Luther Group's headquarters' chief designer. The winner will then have the qualification to take on the task.”

With that said, Dwayne suddenly leaned toward Artemis. There was a carefree smile on his face when he continued, “Mr. Luther, to be honest, why don't you just use your status to let her win? I mean, you have the power to do that, don't you? This is the perfect opportunity, so you shouldn't miss the chance to win the lady's heart.”

“You're trying to please Victoria, aren't you?” Artemis replied with a smile that did not look like a happy smile for sure. “Why don't I pass you the CEO's seat so you can do as you see fit?”

“No, no, no.” Dwayne laughed awkwardly in reply while his handsome face twitched.

The leader of Luther Group? Who on earth with a sane mind would be happy to accept this position? I'm still young, and I'm more than just handsome. Most importantly, I'm a virgin that has yet to lay with any woman, so there's no way I'm going to spend my prime years bound to work and eventually die because of the heavy workload.

“Caridee will be returning this afternoon. Go and pick her up at the airport on my behalf and send her back to the Luther residence after that.”

Dwayne's mouth twitched again.

D*mn it! I'm a graduate of one of the most prestigious universities in the world, but I ended up being just an errand boy for a tyrant!

After seeing how Dwyane was still lingering around and his expression, Artemis smirked and said, “Any objections? Do you want to take over my position—”

“No! This is not something a sane man would do! We're as close as brothers, so please don't try to set me up. I'm the only child in the family, so I can't die young.”

“Get lost.”
