Chapter 4

Zayron closely compared his picture and Artemis'.

We do look alike, but too bad. My dad is a bald man over sixty. He's far from being a handsome and wealthy man. I'd smile even in my sleep if I had a dad like Mr. Luther.

Creak. The door opened, and Bailey came in with a plate of fruits.

The boy quickly closed his laptop. I still have a lot to do. I can't let her find out.

“Ha! Do you really think I don't know what you're doing? I bet you're checking girls out again. I can't believe you're so nasty at such a young age,” she teased.

“Why would I need to do that? I have a cute sister,” he replied, rolling his eyes.

Bailey put the plate on the table, asking, “Where is she now, by the way? She is still on tour, right? When is she coming back?”

“Why should she be back?” the boy asked, looking at his mother.

“Your granny's death anniversary is in two weeks. I've not brought you guys to see her before, so I just thought that you guys should visit her since we're back.”

“I see. I'll text her tomorrow. By the way, Mommy, are you not bringing us to the Larson family? I know it's weird to have a sixty-year-old dad, but I can at least get some money from him.”

“He's not your biological father. I hacked the blood bank's system three years ago and compared his DNA with yours, so you should just give up on the thought of extorting money from him.”

The kid pouted and muttered, “Well, my dad must still be somewhere out there. There's no way I don't have a father. I'll look for him once I'm done dealing with that Luther villain. Finding my father won't be a problem for me. I'm so smart, anyway.”

Two days had passed when Artemis went into Maxton's room with a somber face.

An exasperated smirk broke out on his face when he saw the weak and hungry boy lying in bed.

“Are you still alive? I'm bringing you to that woman if you are,” Artemis offered.
