Chapter 213


    I''m definitely going to kill him!


    The next day, rence and Beatrice came to visit the Luther family.


    Before they raised the topic of marriage, Felicity took the lead to talk about it.


    “Mr. and Mrs. Jefferson, since Ronni is pregnant with a second child, I think it''s time to talk about her


    marriage with Artemis. When you have time, Gerald and I should pay you a visit and discuss further.”

    rence was overjoyed deep down, but he looked hesitant and pretended to be in a dilemma. “What


    does Artemis think? After all, they are the ones getting married. If the groom-to-be doesn''t agree, it''s


    meaningless for us to say anything.”


    In fact, Felicity was determined to let Rhonda marry Artemis.


    I know that Zoey is a lot better than Rhonda. Anyone who is rational would choose Zoey over Rhonda.


    However, she is Waverly''s daughter! Waverly is the person I am most jealous of. If her daughter


    marries into our family, I would never have another happy day in my life.


    “Don''t worry, Mr. Jefferson. Before I held the press conference yesterday, I tried to ask someone from


    the public rtions department to sound Artemis out. He did not stop me, which proved that he


    recognized the baby in Ronni''s belly. I believe he will agree to the marriage. If you''re still worried, I''ll let


    him take Ronni to register the marriage first. What do you think?”


    rence quickly nodded and said, “Then we need your help to get this done. Now that they have two


    children, I really think it''s time for them to get married.”


    “Sure, sure. What Mr. Jefferson said is absolutely right. Artemis is rather busy these two days, and he


    has not returned home yet. I will talk to him once he is back. You just wait for the good news!”


    Meanwhile, at Veronique''sboratory, Bailey walked out of a room with a test report.


    Artemis hurriedly stood up from the couch and asked anxiously, “How is it?”


    Bailey shook her head and handed the report to him without saying anything.


    Artemis took over the report and turned to thest page as he did not have the patience to go through


    all the data on the front pages.


    The sentence on thest page read: Specimen A and Specimen B are not biologically rted.


    Artemis squeezed the papers tightly, and his eyes shed with the fire of fury.


    It was not surprising that he was so angry. He had been fooled for seven years. Anyone in that situation


    would be angry too, not to mention Artemis.


    Bailey grabbed his arm and said, “Please calm down. This is an expected oue, isn''t it?”


    Artemis closed his eyes abruptly and took several deep breaths. When he opened his eyes again, he


    said, “Bailey, don''t you think this is such a coincidence?”


    Stunned, Bailey looked at him. “What do you mean?”


    Artemis put his hand on her shoulder and said in a hoarse voice, “You and Rhonda gave birth on the


    same day. Your first child was stillborn. At the same time, she came to the Luther family with an infant


    whose biological mother was unknown. Don''t you think all of these are too coincidental?”


    Bailey immediately understood what Artemis was trying to say. His words sent shivers up and down her


    spine.


    “Y-You mean Rhonda took away my first child and pretended to be hers? T-This is impossible. Simon is


    Zayron and Susan''s father, while you are Max''s father. How could the three of them be triplets when


    they have different fathers?”


    Artemis rubbed his eyebrows. “Hold on, hold on. Let''s not rush to the conclusion. We have to calm


    down and think carefully about what went wrong.”


    With that, he slowly released her and started pacing back and forth in the room.


    Bailey froze on the spot for a moment and suddenly lowered her body to pick up the report on the floor.


    She seemed to have thought of something.


    However, she put on a disappointed look after looking at the report for a long while.


    Noticing her strange behavior, Artemis squatted beside her and asked anxiously, “What''s wrong? Did


    you find something?”


    Bailey pursed her lips and said in a hoarse voice, “If Max is my first child, then he should have a blood


    rtionship with Rhonda too since Rhonda is my sister. I''ve read this report very carefully, but none of


    the data shows that Max and Rhonda are rted.”


    A trace of dejection shed through Artemis'' face, and he blurted out, “Are you and Rhonda really


    sisters?”


    Bailey frowned. “What?”


    Artemis realized that he had said something inappropriate, and he quickly apologized, “I''m sorry. I


    shouldn''t have said that. Please don''t take it to heart.”


    Bailey nced at him, stood up slowly, and said in a low voice, “For now, I can only be sure that Max is


    not Rhonda''s son. As for who Max''s biological mother is, you have to find out yourself. I really shouldn''t


    give myself any false hopes. My son is dead, and I shouldn''t deceive myself.”


    Artemis stood up too. “I''m sorry for making such an inappropriate inference. I shouldn''t have raised any


    false hopes for you too.”


    Bailey waved her hand and changed the topic. “What are you going to do with Rhonda?”


    Artemis smiled coldly, and a hint of chilliness shed through his eyes. This was the real Artemis, the


    man at the helm of Luther Group who was unscrupulous and ruthless.


    “Since she''s not Max''s mother, then I don''t have to care about her so much. She has fooled my family


    for seven years. I think it''s time for her to pay the price.”


    At night, Artemis returned to the Luther residence.


    In the living room, Felicity tugged his hand and talked a lot.


    She thought he would refuse as always, but to her surprise, he readily agreed with the marriage


    arrangement.


    “I leave it to you to make the decision on this matter. There''s no need to ask for my opinion. You guys


    go ahead with the discussion. I''ll go upstairs to check on Rhonda first.”


    Felicity put on a bright smile. “Yes, you should go and take a look at her. Carrying a child is not an easy


    job. You should care more about her.”


    “Okay.”


    I will definitely care more about her!


    Artemis walked straight to Rhonda''s room on the second floor and pushed open the door that was left


    ajar.


    His movement was not big, but he still woke Rhonda who was dozing off. A smile appeared on her face


    when she opened her eyes and realized it was Artemis.


    “Artemis, you''re back.”


    Artemis stopped three meters away from her bed, staring at her coldly.


    How dare you still want to sleep with me when you''re pregnant with an illegitimate child?


    At that moment, Rhonda did not know what Artemis was scheming in his mind.


    Rhonda slowly suppressed her smile under the cold-eyed stare of Artemis. She looked at him


    awkwardly and asked in a trembling voice, “W-What''s wrong? Why are you looking at me like that?”


    Artemis'' lips curved into a devilish smile, and he fixed his gaze on Rhonda''s t belly. “I hope you give


    birth to a daughter,” he said softly.


    Rhonda was stunned.


    A daughter? No way! I can''t give birth to a daughter! Can I expect a daughter to take over the assets of


    the Luther family for me?


    “A-Artemis, what if it''s a son? Would you not love him anymore?”
