Chapter 44

Beatrice narrowed her eyes.

Everyone in Hallsbay knows that old bugger, Laurence, for his promiscuity. He doesn't have any othercapabilities other than womanizing. The only reason he can continue his philandering ways throughoutall these years is that he has the Luther family as his support. That's right. He's a collateral descendantof the Luther family. Even Artemis has to address him as Uncle based on seniority.

“How do you plan 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 hisembarrassing behavior for themselves. Mrs. Luther might not teach him a lesson, but I can't say thesame for Artemis. With such a scandal tarnishing the name and pride of the Luther family, he will surelychase 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 planned to drug thatb*tch, then have a bodyguard rape her. I'll live stream the entire thing, so everyone can see what awh*re she is. However, I changed my mind after hearing Sienna's plan.

If Laurence is the one who rapes Bailey, Artemis will never accept a woman tainted by his uncle. I'mcertain Theodore and Felicity won't approve of his relationship with Bailey, even if Artemis is willing toaccept her. Having slept with an elder of the Luther family, Bailey will never marry into the Luther family.

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

Her lips curved into a cruel smile at the thought. Suppressing her delight, she plastered a troubled lookon her face. “Sienna, it's not going to do you any good if the Luther family kicks Laurence out of thefamily,” she said hesitantly.

Sienna scoffed. “He already squandered all his money after splurging them on his other women allthese years. He's penniless, and I want to destroy him this way. I'll divorce him after the Luther familykicks him out. It's not going to affect me either way since I've already lined my pockets with more thanenough funds from the Luther family to live comfortably 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 befriendme. 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 outof 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 replaced thearrogance 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,becomes a laughingstock 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 old lady from the Luther family into letting me moveback to the Luther residence. Caridee, that unruly girl hates Bailey so much right now. I might have achance to expose the little b*tch's true colors through her.”

Beatrice nodded with a laugh. “You finally thought things through. Well, coax that old lady then. Herdecision 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 whenyou see her later. Follow our original plan and drug her. Leave the rest to me. There has been achange of plan. We don't need a bodyguard to rape her anymore. We'll use another person who cansurely make her life hellish.”

“Okay.”

Clarence and Beatrice welcomed 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 himyet?”

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 surely come since healready promised to do that. Maybe he's delayed by some work. Let's wait a little longer.”

A commotion 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 fewbodyguards.

The handsome man wasn't the one who held their attention this time. Instead, the little girl holding hishand 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 witha 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' handresembles 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. DidSimon leave a bast*rd outside?”

Cold sweat formed along Rhonda's brows at her comment. That's not Simon's child. If my speculationis correct, that little girl is probably that b*tch, Bailey's daughter. What's going on? What is she doingwith Artemis? She's even holding hands with him. Has Artemis found out that she's his daughter? Didhe replace 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 the comment. It was no wonder she looked familiar to me. Now that I have acloser look, she does look a bit like Simon. What's her name again? Barbara? No, it's Susan! That'sright! Susan! Could it be... Dwayne said Susan was the daughter of Victoria's best friend, and Isupposed Ms. Bailey was Victoria's best friend. That means... Susan is Bailey's daughter!
