Chapter 30

“Your son?” Artemis found himself scoffing. “Since when has Max taken you as his mother? Have you ever heard him call you 'Mommy' all these years? Don't you think you should carefully think about it and reflect on yourself when you are such a pathetic failure of a mother?”

Rhonda stumbled backward at the harsh words from Artemis, and she was on the verge of breaking down.

“But I'm still his mother no matter how much of a failure I am, so you can't take him away from me. Never!”

Artemis, however, responded to her words with a cold glance. He stated, “It's not that I'm deliberately trying to take him away from you, but that he absolutely refuses to leave. He'd rather sleep in a tiny house that's no better than a dog house instead of a residence worth three billion.”

Rhonda was left speechless.

“Now get out of here before I decide to send you back to the Jefferson residence. Scram!”

Rhonda stumbled once more before running away defeatedly under Artemis' cold gaze.

“Mr. Luther, the report is out. It says that the boy and Mr. Larson are not biologically related in any way.”

The hand Artemis was using to hold his pen stiffened for a second.

They're not father and son? So the rumor that she sold herself for money and delivered a stillborn is untrue?

But if his biological father is not Mr. Larson, then who is? Edmund?

“Mr. Luther, do you need me to change the name in the report to your name and announce that you and the little one are not biological father and son?”

“There's no need for that for now,” Artemis replied.

Surprised by Artemis' sudden change of mind, Dwayne raised his brows immediately.
