    Beatrice narrowed her eyes.

    Everyone in Hallsbay knows that old bugger, Laurence, for his promiscuity. He doesn''t have any other


    capabilities other than womanizing. The only reason he can continue his phndering ways throughout


    all these years is that he has the Luther family as his support. That''s right. He''s a coteral descendant


    of the Luther family. Even Artemis has to address him as Uncle based on seniority.


    “How do you n on teaching him a lesson?”


    With clenched teeth, Sienna said, “He loves women, doesn''t he? Arrange one for him tonight. Then,


    live stream his cheating as* in front of the guests. Let Artemis and Mrs. Luther witness his


    embarrassing behavior for themselves. Mrs. Luther might not teach him a lesson, but I can''t say the


    same for Artemis. With such a scandal tarnishing the name and pride of the Luther family, he will surely


    chase that old d*khead, Laurence, out of the Luther family.”


    Something glinted in Beatrice''s eyes as a scheme took shape in her mind.


    I was just wondering of a way to push that b*tch, Bailey, to her demise. Initially, I nned to drug that


    b*tch, then have a bodyguard rape her. I''ll live stream the entire thing, so everyone can see what a


    wh*re she is. However, I changed my mind after hearing Sienna''s n.


    If Laurence is the one who rapes Bailey, Artemis will never ept a woman tainted by his uncle. I''m


    certain Theodore and Felicity won''t approve of his rtionship with Bailey, even if Artemis is willing to


    ept her. Having slept with an elder of the Luther family, Bailey will never marry into the Luther family.


    With this n, I can get Sienna to owe me a favor and deal with that little b*tch. I can kill two birds with


    one stone.


    Her lips curved into a cruel smile at the thought. Suppressing her delight, she stered a troubled look


    on her face. “Sienna, it''s not going to do you any good if the Luther family kicks Laurence out of the


    family,” she said hesitantly.


    Sienna scoffed. “He already squandered all his money after splurging them on his other women all


    these years. He''s penniless, and I want to destroy him this way. I''ll divorce him after the Luther family


    kicks him out. It''s not going to affect me either way since I''ve already lined my pockets with more than


    enough funds from the Luther family to livefortably for the rest of my life.”


    Beatrice wrapped her arm over Sienna''s and sighed. “When I first married into the Jefferson family,


    they all looked down at me and called me a home wrecker. You were the only one willing to befriend


    me. I remember your kindness even after all these years. I''ll be doing you wrong if I refuse you now.


    Let me think of something for you. I''ll make sure it infuriates Artemis and get him to kick Laurence out


    of the family.”


    “Thank you, Beatrice.”


    “Don''t worry about it.” I''m the biggest beneficiary.


    A household staff reported respectfully, “Mrs. Luther and the Chiverses are here, Mrs. Jefferson. Mr.


    Jefferson summons you over to greet them.”


    Beatrice''s mood brightened.


    The Chiverses are here already? Wonderful! The show will be interesting today.


    Beatrice''s expression changed the minute she stepped out of the lounge. A humble look reced the


    arrogance she wore before.


    She ran into Rhonda, who was also on her way to greet Felicity.


    “Have you made the necessary arrangement, Mom?”


    A malicious expression took over Beatrice''s face. “Rest assured. I''ll make sure that b*tch, Bailey,


    bes aughingstock tonight,” she assured.


    Rhonda looped her arms over Beatrice''s arm. “You''re the best, Mom!” Rhonda giggled.


    “Don''t get your hopes up too early. The Chivers family considers that little b*tch as Edmund''s child.


    Bailey will still have the chance to turn the table if that information remains a secret.”


    Rhonda pressed her lips into a line. “I''ll coax that olddy from the Luther family into letting me move


    back to the Luther residence. Caridee, that unruly girl hates Bailey so much right now. I might have a


    chance to expose the little b*tch''s true colors through her.”


    Beatrice nodded with augh. “You finally thought things through. Well, coax that olddy then. Her


    decision will decide whether you can marry into the Luther family.”


    “Okay. I''ll do as you say.”


    Beatrice''s steps halted as she said in a low voice, “Lure Bailey to the residential area at the back when


    you see herter. Follow our original n and drug her. Leave the rest to me. There has been a


    change of n. We don''t need a bodyguard to rape her anymore. We''ll use another person who can


    surely make her life hellish.”


    “Okay.”


    rence and Beatrice weed Felicity and the Chiverses at the outdoor grounds.


    After a few exchanges of small talk, Beatrice asked, “Mrs. Luther, where''s Artemis? I haven''t seen him


    yet?”


    The star of tonight is Artemis. The show can''t go on without him.


    Felicity patted her hand softly. “Don''t worry about him, Mrs. Jefferson. He''ll surelye since he


    already promised to do that. Maybe he''s dyed by some work. Let''s wait a little longer.”


    Amotion started at the entrance to the outdoor grounds.


    A maid came over to report Artemis'' arrival.


    All the spotlights aimed at the entrance of the outdoor ground, where the crowd was slowly receding.


    A tall, lean figure emerged from the dark and strolled toward them under the protection of a few


    bodyguards.


    The handsome man wasn''t the one who held their attention this time. Instead, the little girl holding his


    hand was the one who was under the limelight.


    “Oh, heavens! Who''s that little girl? Why does she look so familiar?”


    “Are you blind? The little girl is a replica of the man. Anyone can see they are father and daughter with


    a glimpse.”


    That piece of information caused an uproar among the crowd.


    Felicity, Beatrice, and Rhonda were surprised by the news as well.


    They do look alike. Their features are nearly identical. The little girl holding onto Artemis'' hand


    resembles him so much.


    “W-What is happening?” Felicity stammered from the shock.


    Gwendolyn supported Felicity''s arm. “Instead of Artemis, I''ll say the girl looks more like Simon. Did


    Simon leave a bast*rd outside?”


    Cold sweat formed along Rhonda''s brows at herment. That''s not Simon''s child. If my spection


    is correct, that little girl is probably that b*tch, Bailey''s daughter. What''s going on? What is she doing


    with Artemis? She''s even holding hands with him. Has Artemis found out that she''s his daughter? Did


    he find out what happened seven years ago?


    Artemis caught every whisper around him as he crossed the area.


    She looks like Simon?


    His brows furrowed at thement. It was no wonder she looked familiar to me. Now that I have a


    closer look, she does look a bit like Simon. What''s her name again? Barbara? No, it''s Susan! That''s


    right! Susan! Could it be... Dwayne said Susan was the daughter of Victoria''s best friend, and I


    supposed Ms. Bailey was Victoria''s best friend. That means... Susan is Bailey''s daughter!
