Chapter 308
Artemis was enraged at first, but he instantly huffed a gnarlyugh when he heard his sons scolding
him. Are they angry at me because I haven''t married their mom, and that''s why Susan was said to be
an illegitimate child? God knows how badly I want to marry that woman. However, it isn''t time yet.
“Fine. I admit I''m a jerk. It''s all my fault your mommy had to go through countless hardships over the
years. Once she knows the truth, I''ll kneel before her and apologize. Now, I need you guys to figure out
a way to stop your sister from crying,” Artemis said.
“You don''t say,” the brothers uttered in unison once again. That was how in sync they were.
Hearing that, Artemis couldn''t help but burst outughing. These two haveplete control over me.
What status will I have in the family in the future?
Despite his thought, he felt a wave of warmth in his heart when he saw both his sons trying to console
his daughter. This heartwarming scene is beyond all I can ask for. God has truly given the greatest
blessing to me by giving me two sons and a daughter. How am I supposed to repay that woman? I
guess I''ll have to cherish her and pamper her for the rest of my life.
Gradually, Susan stopped crying. She then pushed her brothers aside and tugged at the corner of
Artemis'' shirt. While looking up at him, she uttered in a hoarse voice, “Daddy.”
Artemis'' body trembled, and he was stunned for a few seconds. The moment he regained his senses,
he nced at Susan joyfully and stammered, “What did you just call me, Sweetheart? Do you mind
repeating yourself?”
Susan smiled and repeated herself.
Artemis felt his heart thumping, and the sense of family rose from within his body.
He then leaned forward to carry Susan up and fiercely kissed her delicate cheeks. After that, he shifted
his gaze toward Zayron.
The little boy snorted and called out, “Arty.”
Artemis was rendered speechless. If he were somebody else''s kid, I would definitely send him to
Tarragon''s training base to teach him a lesson.
Meanwhile, Bailey went around the square to look for the kids, but she couldn''t find any of them.
Instead, she bumped into Lionel.
“Hi, Mr. Gezmond. It''s been a long time,” she greeted.
Lionel shed a faint smile in response. “It has. What a surprise! I didn''t expect to see you at such an
event, Ms. Jefferson.”
Instead of responding to him, Bailey shifted her gaze toward the woman he was holding arms with. She
then raised her brows and asked, “You''re Ms. Wendy, right? As expected of the Hoffman family''s eldest
daughter. With Mr. Gezmond by your side, you guys look like a match made in heaven.”
Wendy smiled at Bailey and teased, “Instead of addressing me as Ms. Wendy, I think it''s better if you
address me as Mrs. Gezmond, Ms. Jefferson.”
Bailey nodded slightly and shed a half-smile. “Ms. Wendy, in the name of love, you''ve turned your
family away. It''s admirable to see you sacrifice so much. Indeed, I should address you as Mrs.
Gezmond.”
“You...” Wendy was pissed off. However, she quickly pulled herself together. “I need to thank you for
taking care of my sister over the years, Ms. Jefferson. Now that she''s with me, you won''t need to worry
about her anymore.”
Bailey''s gaze glinted darkly when Wendy mentioned Juliana. That girl doesn''t understand my
intentions. She only severed our rtionship because she was afraid of causing trouble. Unbeknown to
her, Zeke belongs to a different world. No matter how hard they try, their rtionship will not work out.
“Well, it''s all right. As her sister, advise her, will you? The Hoffman family might ept one of the
daughters marrying a foreigner. However, I doubt they''ll ever allow both to do the same,” Bailey
answered.
“Hi, Lionel and Wendy! You guys are here!” A melodious voice rang out from somewhere nearby.
Everyone turned toward the voice and saw Zoey walking over to them while holding a little girl''s hand.
Bailey didn''t want to deal with them any longer, so she turned around and was about to leave.
As soon as she had taken one step forward, she heard the little girl Zoey had brought along asking,
“Are you Susan''s mom? The illegitimate child.”
Bailey halted in her tracks when she heard the girl calling Susan an illegitimate child.
She then slowly turned around and narrowed her eyes to re at the little girl. With a frown, she asked,
“Who taught you those words?”
“Isn''t she Mr. Simon''s illegitimate child? How dare she snatch the Best Child Actor Award with me?
Hmph! I wonder where did she run off to after we made fun of her. By the way, she dirtied my skirt. You
ought topensate me!” Arethea pursed her lips and snorted coldly.
Bailey let out a light chuckle, but there was no warmth in her expression. There was a tint of
mncholy in her eyes. “Although my daughter is an illegitimate child, she''s still way better than a rude
child like you.”
Prior to that, Bailey thought it wouldn''t matter much if Susan couldnd the Best Child Actor Award.
However, she changed her mind. Not only must she get the award, but she must also receive it with
pride.
“Ms. Jefferson, Arethea is just a child. Don''t you think what you said is uncalled for?” Shirley uttered.
“Arethea was just telling the truth. Your daughter is, in fact, an illegitimate child. The Luther family
doesn''t even want to acknowledge her. Why don''t you just ept it? Your daughter doesn''t deserve the
Best Child Actor Award,” Zoey chimed in.
A smirk tugged at Bailey''s lips. These people are longing for a p, aren''t they?
At eight that evening, the ceremony began.
First, the host announced the Best Actor award.
Needless to say, the award went to the main character of “Men VS Machines.”
However, any artist who acted in the works of Morpheus would usually win corresponding awards for
the role yed.
Next, the host was about to announce the Best Actress award.
At that moment, everyone sort of knew who would be presented with that award.
Not only was Rose the top performer for LG Corporation, but she was also the best friend of the CEO''s

wife. In fact, she won the award for three consecutive years.
Moreover, whoever won the award this time around would be given the lead role in “Time Warp.” There
was no way Rose could give that up.
Hence, Rose immediately stood up proudly the moment the host mentioned the Best Actress award.
When she got onto the stage and reached out both her hands to receive the award, the host smiled
awkwardly and asked, “What are you doing on the stage, Ms. Rose?”
All of a sudden, the deafening apuse at the scene subsided, and everyone was focusing on what
was happening on the stage.
Rose wasn''t fazed. She flipped her blond and curly hair before smiling charmingly. “Well, I''m here to
receive the award.”
The host cleared his throat and uttered in an awkward tone, “Ms. Rose, this year''s Best Actress award
isn''t yours.”
The moment those words fell, the smile on Rose''s face faded, and she was stupefied.
The silence that ensued was deafening.
Simr to Rose, the crowd was just as stunned. Is Rose not the recipient of the Best Actress award?
Ha! Why is she up there, then? She''s embarrassing herself!
The awkwardnesssted for a good ten seconds. After that, Rose smiled and said, “You must''ve made
a mistake. I think you should check with your superior.”
