Suddenly There Are Three (Bailey and Artemis)

Chapter 10

Dwayne blinked twice. His eyes lit up as though he had discovered a new side of his employer.

Mr. Luther seems overly concerned about Ms. Bailey, huh? Why is he asking about her? There's

something fishy going on. I must be right!

“It's Mr. David Larson from Harway Group. He took a liking to Ms. Bailey and paid five million for her

virginity,” Dwayne revealed.

Artemis' gaze darkened. What Dwayne said must've incurred his wrath, for his aura turned imposing.

“Do a paternity test for them. I need to know the answer in three days.”

Dwayne remained silent.

“What's wrong? Didn't you hear me? Do I have to repeat myself?”

“No, of course not.” Dwayne touched his nose. What a tyrant. His fury sprang to life without warning. I

can't handle him right now.

“Why don't you use your own DNA to run a paternity test with the boy? Is there a need to use Mr.

Larson's DNA?”

Artemis shot him a wintry look. “I know he isn't my son but insists on doing a paternity test with him. If

you were in my shoes, would you do something this foolish?”

Uh...

Dwayne initially wanted to ask why Artemis was so sure that the little boy wasn't his son but changed

his mind as that question seemed even more stupid.

Those who knew Artemis well knew he was forced to sleep with Rhonda eight years ago. After that, he

never touched other women, so he didn't have other illegitimate children.

“All right. I know what to do. If the report shows that the little boy is Mr. Larson's son, what should we

do?” Dwayne asked.

“Announce the truth to the public,” came Artemis' cold voice as he made his way to the parking lot.

“What if he isn't Mr. Larson's son?”

“Then change the names of the paternity test to mine and the boy's name before announcing the

results to the public. Get it?”

Dwayne was speechless. He's a sly fox. Look at how he managed to remove himself from the matter

effortlessly. All these years, the top hacker, Spook, who hacked his system six months ago and

transferred three billion away from his account, was the only one who managed to deliver a setback to

him. He went after the hacker all around the world but didn't even manage to find him. That's pretty

sad. It turns out there is someone in the world who can teach the tyrant a lesson.

Two ladies were seated by the window of a café at Century Square.

One of them was Bailey, who was stirring her espresso idly.

Sitting across from her was a fashionably dressed lady with a brunette bob. Clad in her work outfit, she

looked like a professional working lady.

This lady was Victoria Saunders, Bailey's best friend. They had been classmates for over ten years,

and no one could come between their relationship.

“I've been overseas for a few years, and the change is huge. Hallsbay is more developed compared to

eight years ago,” Bailey commented.

Victoria was typing on her phone and looked up. Arching a brow, she replied, “Of course. Don't you

know who calls the shots here?”

Bailey flashed a smile.

The Luther family calls the shot here, huh? Right. He's worth hundreds of billions, so the businesses

under his company can quickly drive the area's economy, regardless of any country or city.

Hallsbay became a special economic zone and a cosmopolitan city as they had Artemis as their money

tree.

With him around, the city's GDP increased three hundred percent yearly.

“What the heck! Did you bring Maxton from the Luther family to your condominium?”

Victoria's sudden yell broke Bailey's train of thoughts.

She glanced at the phone that Victoria had placed on the table instinctively.

One glance was enough for her heart to sink.

Zayron...

Victoria went to Twitter and scrolled for a while before exclaiming, “D*mn it! I got drunk last night and

slept until morning. I can't believe I missed out on this exciting piece of gossip! This illegitimate child is

Zayron, right? The photo had been photoshopped, but his features are still recognizable. What is his

plan? Does he want to get himself a stepfather? He has good taste for picking Artemis, huh?”

Bailey twitched her lips helplessly. Good for him. He's causing trouble for me.

“Mr. Luther is worth hundreds of billions. Zayron is greedy, so it's perfectly normal for him to suck up to

Mr. Luther.”

Victoria winked and flashed a knowing smile. “Be honest with me. Did you take a liking to him and want

to use your son to get close to him?”

Bailey glared at her and explained, “I ran into a child at the airport on the day of my return. He was

running a high temperature, so I sent him to the hospital. I didn't realize until much later that he's

Maxton.”

She trailed off as something occurred to her. Her expression turned icy, and she added, “I want nothing

more than to stay away from Rhonda's son. Why would I bring him to my condominium? He was the

one who clung to me and refused to eat for two days just to be with me. Artemis had to give in and

send him to my place. I didn't harbor any thoughts about him, I swear! They are Rhonda's husband and

son. The mere thought gives me goosebumps. Why would I take a liking to them?”

Hearing that, Victoria heaved a sigh of relief. “Jokes aside, Bay, I don't want you to get too close to

Artemis. This is my advice as your friend. He's too influential and dangerous to be a suitable partner for

life.”

Bailey chuckled. Exhaling sharply, she said, “You're thinking too much. That sounds ridiculous. I'm a

woman with a child, so why would Artemis like me? You're overestimating my abilities. Of course, the

most important part is that Rhonda had sex with him previously. That is disgusting.”

Victoria giggled and joked, “Why do your luck in love differ so much? She slept with an eligible

bachelor, while you don't even know who you slept with.”

As Bailey's expression turned dark, she immediately changed the topic. “Fine, let's stop talking about Text © by N0ve/lDrama.Org.

scums. They are boring. We should talk about something else. You seemed upset when you mentioned

Rhonda earlier. She was responsible for your granny's death and your child, who died prematurely.

Won't you avenge them?”

A mocking grin flitted across Bailey's lips. “I won't have to take action myself, for Zayron will teach her a

lesson. Just wait and see. She wouldn't get to be smug for long. I might spare her life if she doesn't dig

her own grave. However, if she comes up with any scheme, I'll make sure to destroy her reputation so

she'll never be able to clear her name.”

Just then, her phone rang. She fished it out hastily.

The caller ID showed it was a call from Zayron.

Instinctively, she answered the call.

However, it wasn't her son's voice that greeted her through the phone. Instead, it was...

“The boys are suffering from food poisoning. They are in the Luther residence's infirmary. I'll give you

half an hour to reach here.”

It seemed that something had exploded in her brain.
