Jaw-Dropping Son-in-Law

Only by doing so could they prevent Bailey from being swallowed by the controversy and kicked when she was down.

Without saying a word, Artemis tapped his fingers lightly on the table. The solemn rhythm that filled the room simply made the already tense atmosphere feel more intimidating.

After a long silence, he responded in a low voice, “Let's not for now. I'll talk to my mother first. Now that Bailey is being mired in scandals, we shouldn't add on to her burden.”

“All right. It's good that you have a plan. If there's nothing else, I'm ending the call.”

Furrowing his brows, Artemis instructed, “Call Simon and give him five days to return to Hallsbay. Or else, I'll personally travel to Springwyn to get him.”

“Okay, I'll let him know.”

“Also, don't reveal Zayron's relationship with him yet. We'll get to that once he's back.”

“I understand. Don't worry.”

Upon ending the call, Artemis chucked the phone on the table before leaving the study.

He had barely reached the stairs when he heard a dog barking from the living room downstairs.

The dog's incessant barking sounded extremely familiar as if it was from his pet mastiff.

As a sense of dread swelled within him, he quickly strode down the stairs and was greeted by a shocking scene.

All he saw was a brown dog hysterically “teasing” his mastiff that was worth millions.

What a f*cking repulsive sight.

His eyes shot toward the laughing children as he questioned coldly, “Who did this?”

Ducking his head, Maxton stopped laughing, for he still did not dare to misbehave in front of his father.

Susan, too, stopped giggling as she stared fearfully at the gloomy-looking man by the staircase.

Compared to both of them, Zayron was visibly more relaxed. Laughing uncontrollably still, he sneered, “Who did this? Are you blind? Hado, of course. Can't you see him pinning your precious dog on the floor?”

Speechless, Artemis felt the corner of his lips twitch.

All this while, he had always thought Maxton was naughty. However, compared to Zayron, Maxton simply paled in comparison.

What sort of environment turned him into such an annoying brat? That aside, this dog looks pretty strong. Too bad there are barely any ingredients at home. Otherwise...

Noticing the change in Artemis' eyes, Zayron felt his heart sink when he realized the former was salivating at Hado.

D*mn it, is he thinking of eating my best friend?

“Hado, if you don't want to end up in a stew, you had better back off.”
