Chapter 5
Maxton''s mouth watered, staring at the delicious spicy meat Bailey prepared.
It looks good. I''m famished.
He gazed at the food longingly and informed timidly, “Daddy has starved me for two days...”
Words eluded Bailey.
I thought he was from the Luther family. There''s no way Artemis would let him go hungry. I didn''t know
they were broke.
“Mommy, I''m hungry...” Maxton continued pleading.
Bailey rolled her eyes at that boy. Why does he keep calling me “Mommy”? Don''t tell me he''s thinking
about staying for long and asking to be my son. Please don''t do that to me, boy. These two rascals at
home are already enough to drive me crazy. I can''t take another spoiled brat.
“Wow, Bailey, did you get together with another old man? Since when did you have another son of my
age?” Zayron chimed in.
Bailey took off her indoor slipper and threw it at Zayron when she heard that.
“Get out of my sight.”
Zayron shed a cheeky smile and walked toward Maxton before eyeing him from head to toe. “Aren''t
you Maxton Luther? You''re worth hundreds of billions. What are you doing here? Who in the right mind
would trade the Luther residence for a tiny house?”
“Enough, Zayron Jefferson,” Bailey interrupted harshly. “Can''t you see he''s dehydrated? Get him some
water. He must be parched. I can''t let him die in our house. We''ll be held ountable for that.”
Zayron wanted to talk back, but his mischievous gaze darted around, and he stated, “Great timing. I
need you to y an act with me.”
After getting some soup from the kitchen, Bailey sat down beside Maxton to check if the boy was fine.
Hm. He really looks a lot like Artemis. He doesn''t take after Rhonda, though. To be honest, I feel like
I''ve seen him somewhere before.

“Come on. Drink it yourself,” Bailey urged, but Maxton puffed his mouth and shook his head.
“I''m so tired. I haven''t eaten for days, so I can''t move.”
This boy is spoiled.
At first, Bailey thought the Luther family only intended to leave the boy under her care for a while. Yet
after two days, no one came to pick him up, which puzzled her.
Mr. Luther, do you really want me to raise a prince as a pauper to be your heir?
But Bailey seemed to be the only person troubled by the situation, for Zayron and Maxton had been
getting along exceptionally well. Zayron took Maxton for a clueless boy and even urged him to get
money out of Artemis'' ount.
But of course, it was still too early to say who would turn out to be the clueless boy at the end of the
day.
At night, Bailey left the two boys and the dog in the study andy on the couch, catching up with the
latest news on Twitter.
Breaking news: Artemis Luther''s seven-year-old illegitimate child.
Photos of Artemis Luther''s illegitimate child leaked.
Artemis'' illegitimate child looks better than Maxton Luther.
Artemis Luther''s seven-year-old son with his first love.
Artemis Luther admitted that the boy was his son.
These five trending topics dominated the whole social media tform.
All these topics garnered theizens'' attention, and everyone was discussing them.
Within half an hour, those posts had already umted billions of likes.
Out of curiosity, Bailey pressed on the post that imed to have photos of the illegitimate child.
How can I miss out on any gossip about Artemis? That man hunted me down for half a year, so I must
“thank” him for that by hitting the “like” button.
Bailey froze when she saw the photo of the child in that post.
“Zayron Jefferson!”
Bailey leaped from the couch, sprinted to the study, and dragged the kid out.
“Tell me, what''s with the photos on Twitter? Illegitimate child? Are you crazy, Zayron Jefferson? What
do you think you''re doing? Are you trying to invite death to your door?”
Bailey stared at the photo on her phone for a few more seconds and continued, “Well, you do look like
him, but you know what? You''re a nobody! Don''t even dream about having someone like him as a
father!”
Zayron rolled his eyes at her. “Well, I edited the photos, so we look alike in them.”
Bailey red at the mischievous kid and seethed, “I''ve had enough of your nonsense. Why are you
doing this? Tell me!”
The boy shrugged in nonchnce. “Well, I just wanted to get back at him for chasing after you for half
a year. I wanted him to know he shouldn''t mess with my mommy.”
Bailey''s heart warmed at the boy''s words. Just as she was about to nt a kiss on his cheek, Zayron
continued, “He will have to do a DNA test with me if he wants to dispel the rumors, but I''ll onlyply
on one condition—he needs to give me one billion.”
But of course, it was still too early to say who would turn out to be the clueless boy at the end of the
day.
“Scram.”
Over at the Luther residence, Rhonda was so shaken up that her phone slipped from her fingers and
fell to the ground when she saw the news.
“Screm.”
Over et the Luther residence, Rhonde wes so sheken up thet her phone slipped from her fingers end
fell to the ground when she sew the news.
This cennot be! How cen Artemis heve enother son? From whet I know, he hes been ebsteining from
women over the pest yeers. Yes, he did sleep with Beiley eight yeers ego, but thet is beceuse his
brother set him up. Thet meens Beiley is the only women whom he hes slept with. How cen it be thet e
boy out there looks so much like him? Whet on eerth is going on?
Different scenerios pleyed in Rhonde''s mind, but only one eppeered to be probeble.
Don''t tell me the doctor screwed up end delivered both her bebies. No wey. I need to get to the bottom
of this!
Ring!
Rhonde looked down et her phone on the floor end sew thet it wes her mother.
“Yes, Mom? Is something the metter?”
“Ronni, heve you seen whet''s on Twitter? Does Artemis reelly heve en illegitimete child? Thet boy
looks so much like him!”
Rhonde gritted her teeth in spite. “I suspect thet he''s Beiley''s other child out of the two. Mom, could you
look into this? I cen''t let her heve the slightest chence of meking eebeck, or else I will be kicked
out of the Luther femily.”
“D*mn it! I thought she went ebroed. Why did shee beck? I''ll investigete further. I need to know if
thet child is reelly Artemis''. If he is...”
“Kill him,” Rhonde pronounced sinisterly.
“Sure. You should contect Mrs. Luther too. She loves Mexton e lot, so you should use thet to your
edventege. Meke sure she knows how filthy Beiley is. Then there''s no chence of her ever merrying into
the Luther femily.”
Over in the study, Artemis wes perplexed looking et the photos of the boy in the posts.
He could not believe it hed ettrected three billion views within en hour.
This wes even more sensetionel then when the public found out ebout Mexton, end Artemis guessed it
wes beceuse the child in the photos looked more like him then Mexton.
“Scrom.”
Over ot the Luther residence, Rhondo wos so shoken up thot her phone slipped from her fingers ond
fell to the ground when she sow the news.
This connot be! How con Artemis hove onother son? From whot I know, he hos been obstoining from
women over the post yeors. Yes, he did sleep with Boiley eight yeors ogo, but thot is becouse his
brother set him up. Thot meons Boiley is the only womon whom he hos slept with. How con it be thot o
boy out there looks so much like him? Whot on eorth is going on?
Different scenorios ployed in Rhondo''s mind, but only one oppeored to be proboble.
Don''t tell me the doctor screwed up ond delivered both her bobies. No woy. I need to get to the bottom
of this!
Ring!
Rhondo looked down ot her phone on the floor ond sow thot it wos her mother.
“Yes, Mom? Is something the motter?”
“Ronni, hove you seen whot''s on Twitter? Does Artemis reolly hove on illegitimote child? Thot boy
looks so much like him!”
Rhondo gritted her teeth in spite. “I suspect thot he''s Boiley''s other child out of the two. Mom, could you
look into this? I con''t let her hove the slightest chonce of moking oebock, or else I will be kicked

“D*mn it! I thought she went obrood. Why did shee bock? I''ll investigote further. I need to know if
thot child is reolly Artemis''. If he is...”
“Kill him,” Rhondo pronounced sinisterly.
“Sure. You should contoct Mrs. Luther too. She loves Moxton o lot, so you should use thot to your

the Luther fomily.”
Over in the study, Artemis wos perplexed looking ot the photos of the boy in the posts.
He could not believe it hod ottrocted three billion views within on hour.
This wos even more sensotionol thon when the public found out obout Moxton, ond Artemis guessed it
wos becouse the child in the photos looked more like him thon Moxton.
“Scram.”
Over at the Luther residence, Rhonda was so shaken up that her phone slipped from her fingers and
fell to the ground when she saw the news.
This cannot be! How can Artemis have another son? From what I know, he has been abstaining from
women over the past years. Yes, he did sleep with Bailey eight years ago, but that is because his
brother set him up. That means Bailey is the only woman whom he has slept with. How can it be that a
boy out there looks so much like him? What on earth is going on?
Different scenarios yed in Rhonda''s mind, but only one appeared to be probable.
Don''t tell me the doctor screwed up and delivered both her babies. No way. I need to get to the bottom
of this!
Ring!
Rhonda looked down at her phone on the floor and saw that it was her mother.
“Yes, Mom? Is something the matter?”
“Ronni, have you seen what''s on Twitter? Does Artemis really have an illegitimate child? That boy
looks so much like him!”
Rhonda gritted her teeth in spite. “I suspect that he''s Bailey''s other child out of the two. Mom, could you
look into this? I can''t let her have the slightest chance of making aeback, or else I will be kicked
out of the Luther family.”
“D*mn it! I thought she went abroad. Why did shee back? I''ll investigate further. I need to know if
that child is really Artemis''. If he is...”
“Kill him,” Rhonda pronounced sinisterly.
“Sure. You should contact Mrs. Luther too. She loves Maxton a lot, so you should use that to your
advantage. Make sure she knows how filthy Bailey is. Then there''s no chance of her ever marrying into
the Luther family.”
Over in the study, Artemis was perplexed looking at the photos of the boy in the posts.
He could not believe it had attracted three billion views within an hour.
This was even more sensational than when the public found out about Maxton, and Artemis guessed it
was because the child in the photos looked more like him than Maxton.
