Chapter 15

Artemis shifted his focus from Edmund to Zayron. Suspicions rose to his chest as he scrutinized the boy. “Were you the one who edited the trending photo of the illegitimate child yesterday?”

Zayron blinked innocently. With a childish pout, he argued, “What do you mean, Mr. Luther? I've just started second grade. My school doesn't even have computer lessons. Do you really think I have the skills to edit such a complicated photo?”

There was a glint in Artemis' eyes. In a deep voice, he continued, “Then why did you make Maxton call you his brother in front of the reporters on the video call when I was making a clarification regarding the rumor?”

Hearing that, Zayron broke into a smile. “May I know what your relationship with Daddy Eddy is, Mr. Luther?” he asked.

Artemis was slightly taken aback as he stared at Zayron. After a while, he hissed through gritted teeth, “Cousins.”

Zayron shrugged nonchalantly. “There you go,” he replied in a relaxed manner. “Maxton and I are your and Daddy Eddy's sons. What's wrong with him calling me his brother on the media?”

Artemis was rendered speechless.

“You actually don't have to explain yourself to the public, Mr. Luther. Why does it matter as long as we know the truth? Why should we care about what the world thinks of us? Of course, if you insist on doing a DNA test to prove your innocence, I will gladly oblige. However, my blood is priceless. One drop of my blood is worth one billion. Only if you transfer the money will I agree to draw my blood.”

At his words, Artemis fell silent, while Edmund let out a low chuckle.

His greed's showing again. I give him one hundred million as pocket money every month. Is that not enough? Can't believe he's brave enough to rip Artemis off. He sure is daring.

“If there's nothing else, Artemis, we'll be leaving.”

Artemis' gaze was fixed upon Bailey. When he saw she was not repulsed by Edmund's touch, his expression darkened.

That woman was so annoyed by my touch, yet when another man touches her, she doesn't avoid him.
