Jaw-Dropping Son-in-Law

Caridee came over to the Jefferson residence to see Rhonda in the morning.

Rhonda cried her eyes out as she told Caridee everything, causing the latter to go ballistic on the spot.

“Does that woman's shamelessness know no bounds? Not only did she drug her sister, but she also

sent your pictures over to LG Corporation! Why has no one dealt with her yet?”

Rhonda shed a couple more tears as she sobbed, “She's jealous that I gave birth to an heir for the

Luther family, so she's doing everything she can to ruin my reputation. I don't get it at all. She already

has kids with Edmund, so it's only a matter of time before she marries into the Chivers family! Why did

she have to do this to me? Does she think she won't be able to marry into the family? Is that why she's

trying to bring me down with her?”

Caridee narrowed her eyes and fell silent for a while before asking, “Rhonda, how old is Bailey's child?”

A cunning glint appeared in Rhonda's eyes for a split second when she heard that. Yes! The fish has

taken the bait!

“The same age as Max. She slept with a stranger on the same night I had sex with your brother. Both

of us got pregnant around the same time.”

“What?” Caridee leaped to her feet all of a sudden.

She got so mad that her face was twisted with rage.

“W-What's wrong, Caridee?”

“What's wrong, you ask?” Caridee snorted. “If she got pregnant on the same night you had sex with my

brother, then my cousin is definitely not the father of her child! My cousin was keeping my granddad

company in Springwyn at the time!”

“Huh?” Rhonda stared at her, pretending to be in shock and disbelief. “B-But the DNA paternity test

results clearly stated that they're father and son! According to Justin's report, he is Edmund's child.

There's no way Justin would make a mistake like this, right?”

Caridee broke into a wry smile. “Bailey sure is a cunning one. She convinced my cousin into bribing

Justin so they could trick my uncle and aunt! I won't let her get away with corrupting the Chivers family

bloodline!”

Rhonda got up from the couch with a conflicted look on her face. “We don't have any proof of this,

Caridee. Besides, this is all just my guess, so don't go doing anything rash. It's true that Bailey has

crossed the line by ruining my reputation, but she is still my sister. I—”

“That's enough.” Caridee hugged her tightly. “Defending the culprit when you're the victim? You're

being way too kind, Rhonda. She deceived my uncle and aunt, and she ruined your reputation. A

wicked woman like her does not deserve to be the lead designer in Luther Group. Don't worry. I'll find a

way to get her fired. She'll never be able to work as a designer ever again.”

Oh, Bailey... I'm not the only one who wants to screw you over. You made too many enemies in

Hallsbay, so it's only a matter of time before they come after you.

Rhonda's lips curled into a vicious smile at the thought of that.

Meanwhile, Dwayne entered the CEO's office in Luther Group with a huge stack of documents in his

hands.

“Mr. Luther, the number of media companies publishing this news is increasing. Because they are all

foreign media companies, our staff from the public relations department have no right to stop them. I'm

afraid you may have to step forward and address this issue in person.”

Artemis, who was twirling a pen between his fingers, paused and looked up at him upon hearing that.

“Why should I?” he asked with a sarcastic smile.

Dwayne lowered his eyes and glanced at the woman in the newspaper article.

Although they aren't married, she did help give birth to a son. Isn't it a little inappropriate for him to just

sit by and do nothing?

“Are you sure you won't do anything about this? Those foreign media companies are going to write all

sorts of nasty stuff about her. Even if you don't care about her, you should at least do it for Max. How

will he carry himself into society when everyone knows about his mother's scandal?”

Artemis gave a cynical chuckle as he tossed his pen aside and leaned lazily against his chair. “She

brought this upon herself. She should've thought about the consequences of her actions beforehand.

Do you know how these pictures got leaked?”

Dwayne gave it some thought before saying, “You mean Ms. Bailey was the one who leaked these

pictures? Rhonda tried to set her up, but Ms. Bailey turned the tables on her and obtained those

pictures instead.”

Artemis stroked his chin as he replied, “That woman is cold and calm by nature, so she wouldn't go

around picking fights with people. She only dealt a blow back because Rhonda had crossed the line

this time. If you take a closer look at these pictures, you'll notice that she deliberately kept Laurence's

face hidden. This proves that she knows where to draw the line. She refrained from ruining Laurence's

reputation because he didn't do anything to wrong her. As for Rhonda... Well, she had it coming.”

He then waved at Dwayne as he continued coldly, “Don't come to me about such matters in the future.

We'll be able to recover the losses as long as my uncle's face isn't revealed. As for Max... I'll marry

someone who is worthy of being his mother. He'll do just fine without that horrible biological mother of

his.”

Dwayne pursed his lips speechlessly after hearing that.

It's funny you say that when you've been defending Ms. Bailey all this while. Too bad she's not your

woman, so you can't sleep with her!

“All right, we'll drop this topic for the time being. What do you plan on doing about Laurence? Are you

going to suspend him?”

Artemis narrowed his eyes upon hearing that.

His father had called him last night and warned him against kicking Laurence out.

Not wanting to destroy his relationship with his father, Artemis had no choice but to comply with his

orders.

“Find a manor overseas with a peaceful environment and have him spend the rest of his life there. I

don't want to see him in Hallsbay ever again.”

“Got it,” Dwayne replied with a nod.

He was about to leave when Artemis called out to him once again, “Go find out where Zayron sent

Simon's blood sample to. Once you have confirmed who the recipient is, I want you to do some digging

on that person's background.”

Dwayne frowned at him in confusion. “You want to get the results of the DNA paternity test?”

“Yeah.”

“Why go through all that trouble? We could just have Justin repeat the DNA paternity test, right?”

Artemis looked at him as though he had just heard the dumbest thing ever. “Because Simon's blood

sample has been stolen. Alternatively, you could make a trip overseas and get another blood sample

from that piece of sh*t.”

Meanwhile, Bailey was casually working on a design in Shelbert Condominium, completely ignoring the

chaos out there.

Smack!

She slammed the pencil hard against the table in frustration and crumpled the paper in front of her.

A gown that looks clean and pure, huh... This sure is a headache to design! I'm used to designing sexy

ones that look daring and adventurous. I'm completely out of my element with this one...

“How about modifying the one you made for The Grand Fashion Show back then, Mommy?”
