Suddenly There Are Three (Bailey and Artemis) novel Chapter 9

Chapter 9

Wait, this is different from what we initially expected. We thought Mr. Luther wanted to use the media to admit that he has an illegitimate son so he can bring his illegitimate son back to the Luther family officially before marrying the child's mother. What the h*ll is going on?

On the stage, the person in charge of the public relations department coughed and explained, “Mr. Luther has clarified the rumors personally. I believe you're smart enough to know how to write the news without needing my reminder.”

Silence ensued.

He added, “All right. If that's it, the conference shall end—”

Before he could finish his words, an ear-splitting crackling sound reverberated in the venue.

In the next second, two little figures appeared on the screen on the stage.

One was familiar to everyone, for he was the little boy Artemis had just unmerged out of the photo using his skills.

The other one was...

“Oh, isn't that Maxton? I can't believe he's with the other boy!”

“Is there something that we don't know?”

“Yeah, you might be right.”

The person in charge of the public relations department cursed under his breath. Mr. Luther will never get to clear his name.

He hinted at one staff to switch off the projector.

The staff immediately typed on the keyboard furiously. Alas, nothing worked even after he hit the ESC key, restart key, pause key, enter key, and toggled everything he could. Cold sweat started beading on his forehead.

D*mn it. Kids nowadays are really good at causing trouble, huh? They didn't even bother sparing my feelings!

“Let me introduce myself. My name is Maxton Luther.”

After hearing Maxton's words, everyone's jaw dropped in disbelief.

The Luther family's darling grandson can talk? Isn't he a mute, suffering from intellectual disability and autism? Why is he suddenly talking? Does his daddy know he can speak?

Artemis was obviously in the know. Right now, he was sitting on the couch, his expression as dark as thunder. Staring at his son, he wanted nothing more than to stuff the little boy back into his mommy's stomach to get a change of personality!

This brat!

In the video, Maxton finished introducing himself and turned to Zayron, who was standing beside him. Without warning, he then added, “This is my big brother. I just got to know him a while ago, and I'd like everyone to get to know him.”

Boom!

Maxton's voice hit everyone at the conference like a bolt of lightning.

Astounded, they looked at each other in bafflement.

Mr. Luther, your son, introduced his brother to us right after you've just quelled the rumors! What a slap in the face! Does it hurt?

“D*mn, so he's really Mr. Luther's son!”

“Isn't it obvious? They claimed to be brothers. That's enough to prove there's something fishy going on.”

“You're right. I have observed them carefully and realized they look like brothers. They definitely share the same father.”

“Oh, Mr. Luther made a mistake. Claiming that the photo was edited by photoshop doesn't sound that convincing anymore. If he wants to clear his name, he will have to show a paternity test.”
