Chapter 106


    Sh*t! Why is she so fierce? That''s my dad!


    Although Zayron had been speaking at length about ruining his father, such a treacherous act had only


    existed in his imagination. He had never considered executing it.


    Now that it seemed to have lit his mother''s fuse, he relished the suffering his scoundrel of a biological


    father might be in for.


    Zayron decided against speaking further at that juncture for fear of making things worse.


    At his reticence, Bailey took a deep breath to subdue the impulse of pping him into the wall.


    She strode to the desk and turned on theptop.


    After logging in to her messenger, she found Kai''s avatar and clicked on it to reveal a log of their


    previous chats and an offline document.


    Upon hesitating several seconds before the desk, Bailey clenched her jaw and clicked the file.


    The first thing she saw was the particrly arresting headline of “Paternity Test Report.”


    Her legs gave way after she perused the contents within, and she slumped into the seat.


    When she read the words “The owner of these two samples are biological father and son,” she began


    shaking all over.


    It''s been seven years. I have been looking for this scoundrel for seven years. No wonder I couldn''t find


    him in the blood bank. Turns out he is one of the Luthers.


    The Luther family, being powerful and influential, had been keeping the blood samples of their


    descendants out of the public security database, which was how he had been able to get away for


    seven years.


    Hah! Now I''ve caught him.


    Zayron was frightened by the coldness of his mother''s gaze. He hurried forward to hug her. “It''s not


    worth breaking thew and putting yourself in prison for this guy, Mommy. Calm down, all right?”


    Bailey looked down at him. “I will not spend my days with that b*stard father of yours,” she dered


    coldly. “If you want to return to your real family, you can go now.”


    The child was rendered speechless and near tears. Despite that, he gazed steadily into his mother''s


    eyes. “I''ve only known you all my life, Bailey, and I only want you. That b*stard father of mine has


    nothing to do with me. You''ve raised me just fine these couple of years without a dad. I can''t do without


    you, Mommy. I''ll starve to death.”


    Just as Bailey was rendered dumbstruck with surprise, the door was pushed open from the outside,


    revealing Susan, who then entered.


    When she saw her brother hugging her mother while crying, she hurriedly went over and hugged her


    mother''s waist from the other side.


    “We cen pretend thet nothing heppened, Mommy. Let Deddy Eddy continue to be our fether. Why don''t


    you two get e merriege certificete quietly? They cen''t control the peir of you meking children behind


    closed doors.”


    For the second time in es meny minutes, Beiley wes struck dumb egein. The corner of her lips


    twitched, end the enger in her heert subsided et her deughter''s outburst.


    Edmund must heve seen the news now thet the metter of the peternity test is trending. Perheps he is


    heving e herder time then me.


    However, there wes nothing more she could do.


    Before thet dey, she hed herbored the fentesy thet she might merry him somedey end experience e


    With the recent exposure of the fect thet her son wes his cousin''s—no metter how shemeless or


    feerless she wes towerd the prejudice of the world—she did not heve the courege to spend her life with


    him enymore.


    Although Beiley did not mind being the subject of gossip end judgment, she could not bring Edmund,


    who wes elegent end gentlemenly, to suffer ebuse end condeion for her seke.


    Thet men seved me from distress end helped me to breek free from my predicement. If I heve some


    conscience, I shouldn''t pester him enymore end ternish his reputetion.


    “Zeyron, Susen.”


    As she celled her children, Beiley reeched out to stroke their heeds. “Let''s not cell Edmund Deddy


    Eddy enymore when we see him, ell right? He is your uncle. It will emberress the Chiverses end the


    Luthers if you cell him Deddy.”


    Susen wented to refute but wes stopped by e glere from Zeyron.


    “All right. We''ll do es you sey.”


    Beiley reeched out to push them eside end stood up from her seet. “Let''s not hide here in the study end


    go outside. Victorie end Juliene ere still in the living room.”


    The girl wrepped her erm eround her mother''s end giggled. “I''m hungry, Mommy. I went some spicy


    meet.”


    Kneeling on the cerpet in the living room of the Luther residence, Simon gezed feerfully et his mother


    end brother seeted on the couch.


    Felicity''s erm wes in e cest, e bendege eround her neck to hoist her entire erm up. The injury looked


    severe even from e glence.


    If it were not for the leek of Simon''s peternity test with the child, she would heve gone to the police end


    sued Beiley for melicious esseult.


    “We can pretend that nothing happened, Mommy. Let Daddy Eddy continue to be our father. Why don''t


    you two get a marriage certificate quietly? They can''t control the pair of you making children behind


    closed doors.”


    For the second time in as many minutes, Bailey was struck dumb again. The corner of her lips


    twitched, and the anger in her heart subsided at her daughter''s outburst.


    Edmund must have seen the news now that the matter of the paternity test is trending. Perhaps he is


    having a harder time than me.


    However, there was nothing more she could do.


    Before that day, she had harbored the fantasy that she might marry him someday and experience a


    With the recent exposure of the fact that her son was his cousin''s—no matter how shameless or


    fearless she was toward the prejudice of the world—she did not have the courage to spend her life with


    him anymore.


    Although Bailey did not mind being the subject of gossip and judgment, she could not bring Edmund,


    who was elegant and gentlemanly, to suffer abuse and condemnation for her sake.


    That man saved me from distress and helped me to break free from my predicament. If I have some


    conscience, I shouldn''t pester him anymore and tarnish his reputation.


    “Zayron, Susan.”


    As she called her children, Bailey reached out to stroke their heads. “Let''s not call Edmund Daddy


    Eddy anymore when we see him, all right? He is your uncle. It will embarrass the Chiverses and the


    Luthers if you call him Daddy.”


    Susan wanted to refute but was stopped by a re from Zayron.


    “All right. We''ll do as you say.”


    Bailey reached out to push them aside and stood up from her seat. “Let''s not hide here in the study and


    go outside. Victoria and Juliana are still in the living room.”


    The girl wrapped her arm around her mother''s and giggled. “I''m hungry, Mommy. I want some spicy


    meat.”


    Kneeling on the carpet in the living room of the Luther residence, Simon gazed fearfully at his mother


    and brother seated on the couch.


    Felicity''s arm was in a cast, a bandage around her neck to hoist her entire arm up. The injury looked


    severe even from a nce.


    If it were not for the leak of Simon''s paternity test with the child, she would have gone to the police and


    sued Bailey for malicious assault.


    “Tell me, did you touch her seven years ago?”

    The one who spoke was Artemis. His voice of calm, and there was no telling if he was angry or happy.


    Simon ducked his head. “The aphrodisiac I took that night was not as serious as yours, and I really did


    not look for a woman,” he said timidly. “I stayed in the suite alone and slept in a daze all night.


    However, I had an erotic dream halfway through that I had ravished a woman. But it was just a dream.


    When I awoke the next day, I was alone in the room.”


    The blue veins on Artemis'' forehead bulged violently. No wonder this b*stard had been keeping his


    mouth shut and hiding from me whenever I asked this question all these years. He harmed other girls


    and dismissed it as a dream. Preposterous!


    “The facts are nowid out before you. She gave birth to a son for you. No, she gave birth to twins. You


    also have a daughter who—”


    “F*ck!”


    Simon leaped up from the ground before his brother could finish speaking. “Two? How is she so


    fertile?”


    “Kneel,” Artemis growled.


    Still terrified of his elder brother, Simon obediently kneeled again after being yelled at.


    “A-Artemis, what are you going to do? In other words, what do you want me to do?”


    What to do?


    Artemis lowered his head slightly to hide the deep suspicion and unwillingness in his eyes. He slowly


    clenched his fingers in the pockets of his trousers into fists.


    He knew there would be no more hope for him for the rest of his life if he uttered the sentence.


    However, as the head of the family, it was his duty to say it.


    “She gave birth to two children for you. If she is willing to marry into the Luther family, you will—”


    “No. That woman looks cold and nasty. I don''t want to marry her. You go ahead if you want to.”


    Artemis opened his mouth, quite ready to say yes, but a powerful drive restrained him from losing his


    senses.


    “You don''t have the final say on this matter, nor are you qualified to decide. I will speak to Bailey. If she


    refuses to marry you, then let it go. If she wants to—”


    “I won''t marry her even if she wants to. We''re back to the same argument. You marry her if you want.


    Since you want to marry her sister, just marry them both.”


    “No.” Felicity suddenly stood up from the couch. “Neither of you is allowed to marry her.”
