Chapter 341


    Words such as “shameless,” “homewrecker,” “vixen,” and “a slut who ruined someone else''s marriage”


    could be seen all over the inte.


    Public opinion was one-sided, with everyone condemning Victoria.


    In the eyes of outsiders, she was a sl*t who seduced a married man and destroyed a family of three, so


    she should be taken to task morally and suffer a guilty conscience.


    At the Gezmond residence, Wendy was livid when she saw the widespread scandal on television.


    She immediately contacted Rose, but thetter''s phone was turned off.


    Thus, she btedly realized that she had been yed a fool by the woman.


    Argh! What a lunatic! Her reputation is all torn to shreds, but she wants to drag everyone down with


    her!


    A series of emotions, including self-reproach, regret, anxiety, and the like battered her relentlessly.


    Verily, she wished that she could stab Rose to death.


    Meanwhile, at the medical base, Bailey swiftly learned of the rumors circting out there.


    She had anticipated it, but still, she found it somewhat difficult to ept.


    Ultimately, Vicky, you still pushed yourself to the point of no return. Is this your take on love? To repay


    the debt you owed back then, you even went as far as willingly allowing yourself to be all bruised and


    battered. Is that man really that important to you? Oh well, I don''t have the right to judge Lionel either.


    Nor am I qualified to persuade Vicky to give up loving him since even I myself can''t do the same. If it


    were so easy to stop loving someone, I wouldn''t have returned when I knew full well that it was a trap.


    “Don''t think so much.” Artemis walked over and patted her on the shoulder.


    In response, Bailey shook her head.


    “I know this is Vicky''s choice. She said Lionel likewise suffered untold criticism seven years ago, so it


    was her turn to bear the brunt of the consequences seven yearster. This is probably her idea of love.


    Like a moth flying toward the mes, it''s sorrowful and tragic.”


    Taking her hand, Artemis led her toward the door. “I''m d you''re not fixating on it.”


    Startled, Bailey asked with a frown, “Where are we going?”


    “You wanted to see Rhonda, no? Ken has already brought her over. Let''s go and meet her together.”


    Bailey''s hand tightened around his.


    It was evident that she was trying to keep a leash on her emotions.


    I''ve been mourning the death of my son for seven years, and that was all thanks to Rhonda!


    Therefore, she was understandably hopping mad.


    Wrapping an arm around her shoulder, Artemis coaxed, “Although Max was taken from your side since


    birth, it makes no difference since he grew up by my side.”


    That simple remark calmed Bailey''s roiling emotions.


    Ah, he always manages to see right through me!


    In the reception room downstairs, Bailey was greeted by the sight of Rhonda standing right in the


    center of the room the instant she pushed open the door and stepped in.


    Thetter appeared exceedingly smug, disdain written all over her face.


    Bailey promptly snapped, her eyes gradually turning red-rimmed.


    Marching up to Rhonda with great strides, she shot her hand out and grabbed the woman''s cor,


    roaring, “Why? Why did you steal my child?”


    As she spoke, tears slowly welled in her eyes.


    I shouldn''t be crying. At the very least, I shouldn''t be doing it in front of her. But I really can''t control my


    emotions. She''s so cruel that she''s made several attempts on Max''s life. If it weren''t for pure luck, he


    would''ve long since died at her hands!


    “Answer me! Why did you steal my child?”


    However, Rhonda started cackling maniacally.


    I don''t stand a chance anymore, so I might as well rip a piece of flesh off her like a mad dog!


    “Haha, why? Why do you think, my beloved sister? Back then, the opportunity belonged to me, but you


    benefitted from it at the end of the day. I was utterly resentful and envious. Naturally, I stole your son so


    I could go to the Luther family and pretend to be his mother, taking your ce. Otherwise, I would''ve


    killed that little b*stard long ago. Look how high and mighty I am right now! Everyone is calling me ''Mrs.


    Luther.'' All this is thanks to your son.”


    All of a sudden, the sound of a crisp p pierced the air.


    Bailey smacked Rhonda hard across the face.


    “This p is for my granny.”


    p!


    “This is for Max.”


    p!


    “And this is for me. It''s been seven years. In the past seven years, I''ve been mourning the loss of my


    child every second of every day. You deserve to die, Rhonda. You really ought to pay with your life.”


    She ced all her strength into the blows without an ounce of mercy.


    Hence, Rhonda''s face became badly swollen after those three ps. That aside, blood seeped out of


    N?vel(D)ra/ma.Org exclusive ? material.


    the corners of her mouth nonstop.


    Still, she remained headstrong, slurring, “Sure enough, a son born of a b*tch is resilient. I tried to


    poison him time and again, but all my attempts failed. My greatest regret is my inability to have you


    experience the pain of losing your child. Haha!”


    After saying that, sheughed even more uproariously.


    What have I got to fear? I''m Artemis'' wife at present, the matriarch of the Luther family! The Luther


    family would never reveal the truth and humiliate themselves in the entire elite circle!


    Artemis, who had been standing at the side, abruptly stepped forward. His hand shot out as he seized


    her neck. In a chilly voice devoid of warmth, he demanded, “So, you''re admitting to the crimes you


    Rhonda continued chortling unrestrainedly, just like a woman who had gone utterly insane. “All that is


    of no matter. Most importantly, we''re married. Even if we were to get a divorce, my status as your ex-


    wife would suffice to sicken you both forever!”
