Suddenly There Are Three (Bailey and Artemis) novel Chapter 42

Chapter 42

What's with the brutality? Wouldn't I end up harming Uncle Simon?

“What if he's a gem? Would you then be willing to acknowledge him?”

Troubled by the topic, Zayron waved his hand. “We'll see. I can't judge him until I meet him.”

Maxton nodded. “My aunt's coming-of-age ceremony will be held in one month. Hence, Uncle Simon will be returning from overseas to attend it. When the time comes, I'll introduce him to you.”

“Fine. Let me warn you. Do not say a word to Bailey about this. Do you understand?”

“Don't worry, my lips are sealed.”

Zayron was speechless.

If your lips were really sealed, I wouldn't have accused you of being an incompetent teammate.

The next day, Zayron went to the courier company and sent the blood sample Maxton had given him over to Kai.

Kai had informed him that he needed to wait one week for the results.

Zayron replied that there was no hurry. All that mattered was the accuracy of the test.

When he returned to the condominium, Bailey asked him, “I'm heading over to the Jefferson residence tonight. Do you want to come along?”

Giving her a mischievous look, Zayron sneered, “Aren't you worried I drive that horrible dad of yours mad?”

“I couldn't have wished for anything more,” Bailey quipped before returning to her bedroom.

Tilting his head, Zayron waved to Maxton who was sitting on the couch.

Skipping over, the latter asked with a smile, “You must have thought of a way to prank Rhonda, haven't you?”

Zayron simply rolled his eyes in response. This guy is a lost cause.

“Bailey will do it herself, so don't worry. She will definitely make that hypocrite beg for mercy.”

Maxton was elated to hear it. Any news of Rhonda suffering naturally delighted him. In fact, it made him happier than being the scion of the Luther family.

“In that case, what do you want from me?”

Leaning close to his ear, Zayron whispered, “I want you to get some aphrodisiacs from the Luther residence, and then... drug Bailey.”

“F*ck.” Maxton stomped his feet. “Idiot, how can you sabotage your mommy?”

“Shush.” Zayron shot him a glare before continuing in a barely audible voice, “Not so f*cking loud. Mommy is still in the house.”

Maxton looked at him as if he was a monster. “What's wrong with you? Why do you want to drug your mother?”

Zayron snorted twice before explaining through his gritted teeth, “I want to see what Mommy's reaction is to Daddy Eddy. If she rejects him even under the influence of drugs, it means that what they have isn't true love. Therefore, I'll have to reevaluate who's going to be my father.”

A glint flashed across Maxton's eyes.

Does this mean that Uncle Simon has a chance?

“Fine, I'll help you.”

Stunned, Zayron gave him a look of surprise. “Aren't you worried that my mommy will skin you alive?”

“She wouldn't dare.”

“Hmm?”

“That's because I'm the scion of the Luther family. If she lays a finger on me, she would be spending the rest of her life in prison.”

Zayron was rendered speechless.

Back in the CEO office of Luther Group, Artemis almost thought that he had entered the wrong room the moment he stepped in.

No, who is it that's munching on snacks while lounging on my leather couch?

Dwayne's lips twitched as he couldn't help but hold his forehead.
