Suddenly There Are Three (Bailey and Artemis)

Chapter 212

Shouldn't this tyrant lose his temper after hearing that? He should be rushing home now to convince

Mrs. Luther to cancel the press conference. Why is the plot going in another direction?

“My dear friend, are you sure you heard what I said? I just said Mrs. Luther wanted to announce Ms.

Rhonda's pregnancy to the public. She also wants to announce your marriage to Ms. Rhonda. The

child in her belly—”

“It is mine for now,” Artemis said flatly.

Dwayne was at a loss for words.

“All right. Get out if you have nothing else to say. Don't get involved in the press conference. Just let my

mother carry it out.” Artemis waved his hand as he would to a fly.

After watching Dwayne leave, Bailey raised her brow as she gazed at Artemis, chuckling. “Are you sure

you're going to go with my idea? Once Mrs. Luther tells the world that Rhonda is pregnant, everyone

will think the child in her belly is yours. It isn't that easy being someone who's cheated on.”

“It doesn't matter.” As Artemis grabbed her waist, he leaned into her ear and nibbled it.

“Oh, well. As long as it makes you happy. We'll teach her a good lesson once we prove she's not Max's

mother. Let her enjoy her life for now. That way, she can experience the feeling of falling from heaven

to hell.”

That afternoon, Felicity held a press conference at Luther Group's conference room, announcing to the

world that Rhonda was one month into her pregnancy.

The news was a shock to the upper-class society.

It was a known fact that Artemis did not like Rhonda. Hence, he had always been indifferent to her for

the past seven years. In fact, no one knew when she would be married into the family.

Just as everyone was making jokes about her, she had secretly lured Artemis to bed her, causing her

to be pregnant with his child. Basically, she had turned her situation around again.

“Mrs. Luther, when will Mr. Luther and Ms. Rhonda's marriage be held?”

“We are curious. Ms. Rhonda is already bearing the second child. The wedding should be happening

sooner than expected, right?”

Felicity did not have an accurate answer to those questions. Thus, she only managed, “Rhonda has

contributed greatly to the Luther family by bearing our family children. I've already acknowledged her

as my daughter-in-law long ago. As for the wedding, it should be happening soon. I'll hold another

press conference to announce it.”

Meanwhile, in the living room of the Luther residence, Gerald grabbed the remote control on the coffee

table and turned off the television.

Caridee, who had been sitting beside him, seem rather confused after watching the press conference.

She asked, “Daddy, why is Mommy in a rush to announce Rhonda's pregnancy? They had just

confirmed her pregnancy. And now, she's telling it to the world. What exactly is Mommy up to?”

Gerald shook his head with a smile. A sigh escaped his mouth as he said, “That's because the

daughter-in-law I prefer isn't Rhonda. The future matriarch of the Luther family should be an

international socialite. Rhonda hasn't reached my standards yet, even if she had borne Artemis a son.

Still, she's not the ideal candidate I want.”

That piqued Caridee's interest. She scooted over to Gerald and held his arm, asking curiously, “Rhonda

isn't your ideal daughter-in-law? Then, who's your ideal daughter-in-law? Come on. Tell me.”

Gerald smiled and said gently, “Zoey Shurmer, the eldest daughter of the Shurmer family of Lostaria. Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org exclusive © material.

She's one of the Ten Acclaimed Socialites. She's very polished and elegant. Only she is worthy of your

eldest brother.”

Caridee snorted. “Zoey, eh? Your taste is definitely better than Mommy's. I heard that many princes of

Danontand, Gregan, and other countries want to take Zoey's hand in marriage to build a connection

through marriage. Unfortunately, she has very high standards and fancies none of them.”

As soon as she finished, she blinked and grinned at Gerald. “Don't tell me you like Zoey because of

Aunt Waverly? Didn't you pursue Aunt Waverly when you were younger? She then married the

Shurmer family and gave birth to Zoey. Have you fallen in love with Aunt Waverly so much that you

love her family, too? Is that why you think Zoey's the ideal daughter-in-law for Artemis?”

Gerald glared at her. “Nonsense. Your mom's imagination is going to run wild if she hears this. Besides,

who doesn't admire anyone when they were younger? So many years have passed. I've been married

to your mother for over twenty years, and she's borne me children. Isn't that greater than the puppy

love from my younger days?”

Caridee pouted and mumbled, “I'm just kidding. Why do you have to be so fierce?”

She had finally understood why Felicity wanted to announce Rhonda's pregnancy.

Felicity had been feeling upset over the fact that Gerald had once pursued Waverly when he was

younger. When Felicity found out Gerald wanted to have a marriage connection with the Shurmer

family, she quickly grabbed hold of Rhonda to prevent Zoey from marrying into the Luther family.

Felicity was determined to make Artemis marry Rhonda, even if the Jefferson family's background was

not as great as the Shurmer family's.

“Is this you taking a step back by letting Mommy hold a press conference? Does that mean you've

accepted Rhonda?”

Gerald massaged his temples and said suggestively, “I'm afraid I have no choice but to accept Bailey if

I reject Rhonda. I'd rather your brother marry Rhonda instead of Bailey. Perhaps I'm not fortunate

enough to have Zoey become my daughter-in-law.”

In the meantime, Rhonda was leaning against the bed and rubbing her flat belly in the room.

The fact that Artemis isn't objecting to Mrs. Luther holding a press conference shows he has silently

accepted the child in my belly as his. That also means I have made the Luther family believe I'm

bearing their child.

Suddenly, someone kicked the door open with a loud bang.

It gave Rhonda a shock. As she lifted her gaze, she saw Maxton storming into the room.

A murderous look fleeted across her eyes.

Maxton walked straight to the side of her bed and glared at her, hissing, “Didn't you say you love me?

Why do you have to get pregnant again? Do you want to give birth to another son to fight for the family

assets with me?”

Rhonda was speechless.

Clearly, she did not understand what he was clamoring about. After being momentarily stunned, she

reached out and held Maxton's arm. “Max, why would you think that? Isn't it great that I'm giving you a

baby brother? You two can keep each other company in the future.”

Maxton harrumphed.

Truth was, Maxton had given Zayron a call and discovered that Artemis had not slept with Rhonda a

month ago.

I knew it. Ratemis has fallen head over heels for Bailey. How could he sleep with this woman?

“Fine. You can give birth to him, but you have to swear to Grandpa and Grandma that he'll never take

my inheritance in the future.”

Rhonda slowly clenched her fist, and her gaze gradually turned frosty. She questioned through gritted

teeth, “Maxton, he's your brother. How could you be so hostile to him?”

Maxton twitched his lips. Hah. I'm finally seeing her vicious side. Looks like my plan is effective. I'm

sure she'll attack me if I agitate her. This time, I'm going to get proof and make her get jailed for the rest

of her life.

“His presence is basically an act of taking my inheritance from me. Isn't it only right that I'm hostile

toward him? There's no such thing as familial affection in wealthy families, let alone brotherly love and

relationships. There's only profit. I won't hesitate to get rid of him if he dares to covet my possessions.”

With that, he turned around and shot out of the room.

Rhonda was so mad that she threw two punches into the bed.

That d*amned b*stard!
