Chapter 202

Still, Bailey could not fathom why Rhonda would want Maxton dead.

It is a given for parents to care for their children. Besides, Maxton can bring endless glory and wealth to her, so there shouldn't be any reason for Rhonda to kill him. Jessica was harmed and had her memories wiped out because she possessed Rhonda's greatest secret. Could it be that the secret Jessica knew was related to Max?

“Maxton has indeed recovered as you wish, Ms. Rhonda. The blow unclogged the veins inside his brain, and the impact caused him to regain a normal mental state.”

After that, Bailey leaned forward and whispered beside Rhonda's ear, “Therefore, you don't have to be so worried, Rhonda. Your son will be fine. The position as the heir of the Luther family can only be his, and one day, you can certainly ascend to a higher social status by relying on him.”

At that instant, Bailey vividly sensed the aura enveloping Rhonda's body grow significantly colder. That observation further verified Bailey's suspicion.

Rhonda seems unwilling to let Maxton become the heir of the Luther family, but why? Don't tell me Maxton is really not her biological child. That kid has always said that Rhonda is not his real mom. I've always assumed he was being unreasonable and disliked Rhonda's excessive pursuit of vanity, so he was unwilling to get close to her. Now that I have reconsidered these things, it seems this matter is not as simple as I thought. It looks like I should do a maternity test for Rhonda and Max. A scientific test report will give me the most accurate answer regarding their relationship.

Inside the study of the Luther residence, Bailey leaned against a shelf while gazing at Gerald with her brows raised as the man sat on the couch.

“If you want to see me because of the matter related to Mr. Simon, this meeting is unnecessary, Mr. Luther. I've expressed my stance previously. The Luther family does not need to bear the responsibility for what happened seven years ago. Besides, Mr. Simon has found the woman he loves, so it would not be appropriate to disrupt his relationship now.”

Gerald frowned at her and replied hoarsely, “My son might not have whetted your appetite, but it seems my nephew has won your favor. However, have you considered how the public would view this matter? You gave birth to Simon's children and then proceeded to marry his cousin. Do you want others to treat us as laughing stocks?”

Bailey arched her brow and curled her lips into a sneer. “So, according to you, Mr. Luther, I am not allowed to get married for the rest of my life?”

Gerald sighed before saying, “That's not what I meant. You are quoting me out of context. You can marry anyone else except for Edmund.”

A sly look glinted in her eyes. “Is that so? I can marry anyone except Edmund, including Artemis?”

Gerald suddenly leaped to his feet and raised his voice. “What did you say? You should never kid around with a joke like that, Bailey!”

She chuckled. “Why are you taking my words so seriously when you already assumed I'm just joking? I am curious. Why are you stopping me from marrying into the Chivers family?”

He stared at her grimly and uttered, “For the sake of my two grandchildren. I do not want them to be criticized by others. As their mother, I suppose you do not want them to be scorned by the public, right?”
