Chapter 10


    Dwayne blinked twice. His eyes lit up as though he had discovered a new side of his employer.


    Mr. Luther seems overly concerned about Ms. Bailey, huh? Why is he asking about her? There''s


    something fishy going on. I must be right!


    “It''s Mr. David Larson from Harway Group. He took a liking to Ms. Bailey and paid five million for her


    virginity,” Dwayne revealed.


    Artemis'' gaze darkened. What Dwayne said must''ve incurred his wrath, for his aura turned imposing.


    “Do a paternity test for them. I need to know the answer in three days.”


    Dwayne remained silent.


    “What''s wrong? Didn''t you hear me? Do I have to repeat myself?”


    “No, of course not.” Dwayne touched his nose. What a tyrant. His fury sprang to life without warning. I


    can''t handle him right now.


    “Why don''t you use your own DNA to run a paternity test with the boy? Is there a need to use Mr.


    Larson''s DNA?”


    Artemis shot him a wintry look. “I know he isn''t my son but insists on doing a paternity test with him. If


    you were in my shoes, would you do something this foolish?”


    Uh...


    Dwayne initially wanted to ask why Artemis was so sure that the little boy wasn''t his son but changed


    his mind as that question seemed even more stupid.


    Those who knew Artemis well knew he was forced to sleep with Rhonda eight years ago. After that, he


    never touched other women, so he didn''t have other illegitimate children.


    “All right. I know what to do. If the report shows that the little boy is Mr. Larson''s son, what should we


    do?” Dwayne asked.


    “Announce the truth to the public,” came Artemis'' cold voice as he made his way to the parking lot.


    “What if he isn''t Mr. Larson''s son?”


    “Then change the names of the paternity test to mine and the boy''s name before announcing the


    results to the public. Get it?”


    Dwayne was speechless. He''s a sly fox. Look at how he managed to remove himself from the matter


    effortlessly. All these years, the top hacker, Spook, who hacked his system six months ago and


    transferred three billion away from his ount, was the only one who managed to deliver a setback to


    him. He went after the hacker all around the world but didn''t even manage to find him. That''s pretty


    sad. It turns out there is someone in the world who can teach the tyrant a lesson.


    Twodies were seated by the window of a café at Century Square.


    One of them was Bailey, who was stirring her espresso idly.


    Sitting across from her was a fashionably dresseddy with a brte bob. d in her work outfit, she


    looked like a professional workingdy.


    Thisdy was Victoria Saunders, Bailey''s best friend. They had been ssmates for over ten years,


    and no one coulde between their rtionship.


    “I''ve been overseas for a few years, and the change is huge. Hallsbay is more developedpared to


    eight years ago,” Baileymented.


    Victoria was typing on her phone and looked up. Arching a brow, she replied, “Of course. Don''t you


    know who calls the shots here?”


    Bailey shed a smile.


    The Luther family calls the shot here, huh? Right. He''s worth hundreds of billions, so the businesses


    under hispany can quickly drive the area''s economy, regardless of any country or city.


    Hallsbay became a special economic zone and a cosmopolitan city as they had Artemis as their money


    tree.


    With him around, the city''s GDP increased three hundred percent yearly.

    “What the heck! Did you bring Maxton from the Luther family to your condominium?”


    Victoria''s sudden yell broke Bailey''s train of thoughts.


    She nced at the phone that Victoria had ced on the table instinctively.


    One nce was enough for her heart to sink.


    Zayron...


    Victoria went to Twitter and scrolled for a while before eximing, “D*mn it! I got drunkst night and


    slept until morning. I can''t believe I missed out on this exciting piece of gossip! This illegitimate child is


    Zayron, right? The photo had been photoshopped, but his features are still recognizable. What is his


    n? Does he want to get himself a stepfather? He has good taste for picking Artemis, huh?”


    Bailey twitched her lips helplessly. Good for him. He''s causing trouble for me.


    “Mr. Luther is worth hundreds of billions. Zayron is greedy, so it''s perfectly normal for him to suck up to


    Mr. Luther.”


    Victoria winked and shed a knowing smile. “Be honest with me. Did you take a liking to him and want


    to use your son to get close to him?”


    Bailey red at her and exined, “I ran into a child at the airport on the day of my return. He was


    running a high temperature, so I sent him to the hospital. I didn''t realize until muchter that he''s


    Maxton.”


    She trailed off as something urred to her. Her expression turned icy, and she added, “I want nothing


    more than to stay away from Rhonda''s son. Why would I bring him to my condominium? He was the


    one who clung to me and refused to eat for two days just to be with me. Artemis had to give in and


    send him to my ce. I didn''t harbor any thoughts about him, I swear! They are Rhonda''s husband and


    son. The mere thought gives me goosebumps. Why would I take a liking to them?”


    Hearing that, Victoria heaved a sigh of relief. “Jokes aside, Bay, I don''t want you to get too close to


    Artemis. This is my advice as your friend. He''s too influential and dangerous to be a suitable partner for


    life.”


    Bailey chuckled. Exhaling sharply, she said, “You''re thinking too much. That sounds ridiculous. I''m a


    woman with a child, so why would Artemis like me? You''re overestimating my abilities. Of course, the


    most important part is that Rhonda had sex with him previously. That is disgusting.”


    Victoria giggled and joked, “Why do your luck in love differ so much? She slept with an eligible


    bachelor, while you don''t even know who you slept with.”


    As Bailey''s expression turned dark, she immediately changed the topic. “Fine, let''s stop talking about


    scums. They are boring. We should talk about something else. You seemed upset when you mentioned


    Rhonda earlier. She was responsible for your granny''s death and your child, who died prematurely.


    Won''t you avenge them?”


    A mocking grin flitted across Bailey''s lips. “I won''t have to take action myself, for Zayron will teach her a


    lesson. Just wait and see. She wouldn''t get to be smug for long. I might spare her life if she doesn''t dig


    her own grave. However, if shees up with any scheme, I''ll make sure to destroy her reputation so


    she''ll never be able to clear her name.”


    Just then, her phone rang. She fished it out hastily.


    The caller ID showed it was a call from Zayron.


    Instinctively, she answered the call.


    However, it wasn''t her son''s voice that greeted her through the phone. Instead, it was...


    “The boys are suffering from food poisoning. They are in the Luther residence''s infirmary. I''ll give you


    half an hour to reach here.”


    It seemed that something had exploded in her brain.
