Chapter 258
The young woman held her burning cheek and pointed her trembling finger at Rhonda and the others
with anger. Her lips twitched, but no words escaped her mouth.
When the girl behind the young woman saw her mother was getting bullied, she jumped out, raised her
head, and glared at Rhonda. “You were the bride who was kissing other men at the wedding and then
canceling it afterward! They all say that you're a bad woman! A bad woman! A bad woman...”
At that instant, a crazy killing intent flashed across Rhonda's eyes.
She stepped forward, grabbed the girl's neck, and lifted her. “What did you say, you little b*stard? I dare
you to say that again!”
The girl swung her legs as she coughed and struggled to leave.
Seeing that her daughter's life was in danger, the woman pounced on Rhonda, who was still gripping
the girl's neck like a mad woman.
Suddenly, two adults and a kid were embroiled in a fight. It didn't take long before the brawl attracted
the attention of the shoppers nearby.
Rhonda hated it when people brought up her wedding incident. Thus, the killing intent in her eyes
burned brighter as she stared at the girl.
She lifted her arm and slapped the little girl twice on her delicate face.
“Oh my god. How could she hit a child? Is she not afraid of karma?”
“There's nothing that can be done. She has the Luther family backing her and is currently the wife of
Luther Group's CEO. Even if she ripped the skies of Hallsbay apart, no one would dare to do anything
to her.”
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇt“Yeah. Nowadays, ordinary citizens are afraid of government officials, and government officials are
afraid of business people. Luther Group is the most powerful entity in Hallsbay, and now she's using
the family's name to do whatever she wants as well as showing off. No one can do anything to her.”
A crowd had gathered around Rhonda as they commented about her and even took photos.
Suddenly, Rhonda screamed.
She looked at the teeth print on her bloody wrist and rage consumed her mind.
She threw the little girl away and yelled at her bodyguards, “Beat them up until they're dead! I can't win
against them in a fight. If I can't even deal with two lousy b*tches, what right do I have to call myself
Mrs. Luther!”
The bodyguards exchanged a glance.
They were okay with beating up men, but not women and children.
Just as they were hesitating, a series of clapping sounds could be heard from the crowd.
Soon, a slender figure emerged from the gaps between the bystanders.
“How impressive, Mrs. Jefferson. Not only are you using your husband's family reputation to show off
everywhere you go, but you're also ordering your bodyguards to beat up a child. Truly, no one can
afford to mess with you.”
When that familiar voice traveled into Rhonda's ear, she shuddered. Then she turned around and met
Zoey's mocking gaze. At that moment, she couldn't hide the murderous intent in her eyes any longer.
“Ronni...” whispered a young woman beside Rhonda, pulling her sleeve. “You need to calm down.
There are too many people around here. If you order your bodyguards to hit the girl until she's crippled,
the world will say you're abusing your power to bully people. It'll damage the Luther family's reputation,
and it won't be easy for you to explain yourself when you go back home.”
Rhonda swept her gaze across the area, and when she noticed that many people were staring at her,
she slightly calmed herself down. I need to bear with this!
With a smile, Zoey approached the mother and daughter curling on the ground in her high heels. She
helped them up and said, “Are you two all right? Should I send you two to the hospital for a checkup?”
“T-Thank you, Ms. Shurmer. But no thank you,” the mother said.
Zoey asked with a raised eyebrow, “Do I need to call the cops for you? I think it's better for the police to
handle this since you were beaten up for no reason.”
“T-That won't be necessary.” The young woman carried her daughter, lowered her head, and dove into
the sea of people.
There was no way she could afford to offend the Luther family. If she didn't let the matter go, she would
only be the victim in the end.
After Zoey watched the two of them disappear into the crowd with a smile, she turned to Rhonda. “You
got quite the temper, Mrs. Luther. Age doesn't matter to you when you're dishing out punishments,
huh? That girl's only five or six years old. Is it really necessary for you to be so angry with a child?”
As Rhonda stared at her hypocritical facade, rage stormed inside her heart. At that moment, she very
much wanted to rush forward and tear Zoey into pieces. “What, are you jealous that I married a good
husband, Ms. Shurmer? Well, I can't blame you for that. After all, many women have tried desperately
to become Mrs. Luther. Now that I am Mrs. Luther, it's only natural that you're envious of me. A long
future awaits you, so just enjoy your descent into madness as you get consumed by your envy of me.
No, all of you should slowly enjoy this feeling instead.”
That statement instantly incurred the hatred of all the women there toward her.
In Hallsbay, Artemis was the Prince Charming of many women. They already hated Rhonda when she
got lucky enough to be married to him. That was why none of them could stand her.
“You're getting out of line, Rhonda!”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm“That's right. Don't think you can look down on everyone and act arrogantly just because you married
into the Luther family. This is a society governed by law, and even you can't escape its punishments.”
“This woman is pure evil! Why is she allowed into the Luther family and to become their matriarch?”
The more they were enraged, the more excited Rhonda was. As she gazed at their envious, twisted
faces, she gave an ugly smile. “All of you, listen up! I'm Artemis' lawfully wedded wife. If you see me in
the future, you must refer to me as Mrs. Luther! I don't have a good temper, you see. So, if you piss me
off with the way you address me, you deserve the punishment coming your way.”
“You!”
A few people instantly exploded in anger. They lifted their legs, preparing to rush forward and tear her
apart.
With a sneer, Rhonda glanced at the bodyguards next to her and said, “Break the legs of whoever
dares to bump into me.”
“Yes, Mrs. Luther,” they replied.
Staring at the pompous Rhonda, Zoey whispered to an unfamiliar man next to her, “This is a good
chance. Since she has a death wish right now, I may as well fulfill it. Go and announce Ms. Rhonda's
legal husband. Remember, you must show solid evidence and make sure she gets sent to prison. Got
it?”
“Got it.”
At the same time, at Shelbert Condominium, Sebastian brought his laptop to Bailey, who was in the
living room, and said excitedly, “Bailey, a media company under LG Corporation just received a piece
of news from an anonymous person. It has something to do with your sister, Rhonda. Take a look at
this and let me know if there's any problem. If not, I'll ask people to report on the news. This is a piece
of explosive news. The moment we put this out, it'll definitely be the hottest trending news.”
Bailey shifted her line of sight away from the television and toward the laptop.
When she saw the contents on the screen, she narrowed her eyes. Why did the news about Rhonda
and Artemis' fake marriage leak out?
