Jaw-Dropping Son-in-Law

Artemis appeared unaffected by the scandal. He was only worried the rushing crowd would hurt the little girl next to him, so he bent over and picked Susan up, carrying her in his arms.

It didn't matter if Susan was Simon's daughter. So long as she was Bailey's child, he would protect her.

When Felicity saw he was unmoved by the mess around him and only cared if Susan was injured, she got mad and howled at him. “I'm talking to you, Artemis!”

He sighed, turned his face slightly toward the crazy crowd, and said, “If we were to make any move now, the attention will turn to us. If we make a stand, we'll only be putting ourselves in the same boat as the Jeffersons, and get bombarded by the media. If Rhonda is innocent, we can always speak up for her later when things die down. Of course, if she's doing it out of her own free will, then she'll have to face the consequences herself.”

Yoel nodded in agreement and said, “I agree with Artemis. Something is fishy about this matter, Felicity. It could be a setup, so we'd better not act rashly. Let's find out more before we act. Otherwise, we may make the wrong move, and it'll backfire on us.”

Felicity was an intelligent woman. She frowned after listening to her brother's analysis and said, “You mean there's more to this than meets the eyes?”

Gwendolyn couldn't help but chip in. “We're at the Jefferson residence. I don't see how anyone can force Ms. Rhonda to sleep with Mr. Laurence in her own home. I can see two possibilities. It is either she's doing so willingly, or she tries to frame someone, but it backfires on her instead.”

Felicity's face fell. She turned to look at Artemis and solemnly asked, “So what should we do now? Are we going to sit and watch our family's reputation go down the drain because of that stupid Laurence?”

Artemis looked at the girl in his arms, and he could see Susan was worried about Bailey.

“Don't worry. She's more formidable than we think!” He tried to console the little girl.

Susan looked up at him and pouted. “Why would I worry about her? She already managed to put that scheming woman on a live show for all to see!”

Artemis was dumbfounded by Susan's reply, so he turned to his mother and said, “Let's go and take a look then. The Jefferson will take care of their daughter, but we'll also have to deal with our own family member who's involved in this disgraceful act.”

With that, he started walking toward the house with Susan in his arms.

Felicity and the Chiverses looked at one another, then decided to follow suit.
