Chapter 215
Mixed feelings of despair and sadness bloomed in her chest.
My son died seven years ago. Why do I still expect him to be alive? How silly of me! But... If Max is not
Rhonda's child, then who is Max's mother? Who did Rhonda steal Max from?
Beep! Beep! Beep!
The phone on the desk rang.
She grabbed it over and saw that it was a call from Victoria.
“Vicky, what's the matter for you to call me at this hour?”
“Bay, listen to me. My brother is arrested by the Department of Justice. They said he was secretly
manipulating the stock market and is suspected of getting involved in some commercial crimes. I need
to see him now, but I don't know anyone in the Department of Justice. Do you think you can help me
make the arrangement to see my brother?”
Bailey stood up in an instant. “Where are you? I'm coming to see you now.”
“I'm at the Department of Justice.”
“Okay. I have some dealing with the head of the Department of Justice. Don't worry. I'll give him a call
right now and see if he can do me a favor. You just stay there, and I'll be there in half an hour.”
“Okay.”
Meanwhile, Maxton was lying in his bed quietly in the Luther residence.
Half an hour ago, his father suddenly came to his room, sat down on the bed, stared at him with a
mysterious gaze, and said nothing.
A shiver ran up his spine, and he asked, “D-Did I do anything wrong? If I did something wrong, you can
tell me directly. Please don't torture me this way. It's killing me.”
Artemis did not say anything, and he fixed his gaze on Maxton's delicate face.
Such familiar facial features. I feel I've seen them somewhere. Maxton's face started overlapping with
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtthe oval-shaped face in his mind, and they slowly merged together in the end.
In fact, Artemis had always thought that Zayron looked a lot like him. Back then, he thought Zayron was
Simon's son, and it was not surprising that Zayron looked like his uncle.
However, he did not think so now.
Zayron looks so much like me. It is very likely that he is...
“Let me ask you something. Was the blood sample that you stole from the blood bank really your Uncle
Simon's blood?”
Maxton was stunned. He looked at Artemis timidly and said in a low voice, “Are you going to teach me
a lesson now? It's really not my doing. It was Zayron, that b*stard asked me to steal it.”
“I'm asking you whose blood sample did you steal that day?”
Maxton shuddered and narrowed his eyes to recall what happened exactly that day.
“That day, I went to the infirmary with Grandma. Then, I went to the blood bank alone on the way. The
blood samples of you and Uncle Simon were there. I just grabbed one, and then Grandma suddenly
called me. I panicked and... I guess it was Uncle Simon's blood that I took.” His voice became softer
and softer as he started to lose his confidence.
He suddenly came to a realization that he was not sure whose blood sample he actually took.
What a moment! That did not make sense!
Maxton widened his eyes and stared at Artemis in disbelief. “If I took the wrong blood sample which
was supposed to be yours, and it showed that the owner of the blood sample is Zayron's father, does
that mean that you're Zayron's father?”
Artemis twitched the corners of his stiff lips.
He felt he was not far from uncovering the truth.
“Max, Bailey did a DNA test for you and Rhonda, and the result showed that the two of you are not
related. Rhonda is not your biological mother.”
Maxton snorted as he was not surprised at all. “I knew it a few years ago. There's no need for you to
tell me this. I knew that Rhonda is not my mother! My mother will not...”
Maxton suddenly paused and looked at Artemis in shock. “Bay was pregnant with triplets, and her first
child was stillborn. Zayron is her second child. If Zayron is your son, then my mother is... D*mn it!”
He jumped up from the bed suddenly and looked at his father in surprise.
Artemis curled his lips and touched Maxton's head. “The only thing I can't figure out is the DNA test
report of Zayron and your Uncle Simon. If you did not steal the wrong blood sample, then Uncle Simon
is Zayron's father, and Bailey is definitely not your mother. But if you stole the wrong blood sample...”
“If I stole the wrong blood sample, then I'm Bay's first child! That means I have the same father and
mother as Zayron and Susan!”
Artemis' body was shaking lightly.
Was that woman really Bailey? Not only did she give birth to Max, but she also gave birth to Zayron
and Susan? It was a triplet. She...
He was astonished.
That woman was imprinted in his flesh and blood soul, and all the surprises in his life came from her.
Maxton put his arms around Artemis' neck, buried his little head in his neck, and asked in a muffled
voice, “Daddy, Bay is my mommy, right?”
“Mhm.” Artemis nodded, and his voice was firm.
It's her. It must be her! Even if it is not, it will have to be her!
Bailey drove to the police station.
When she arrived, the head of the Department of Justice was there too.
“Ms. Jefferson, we meet again.”
Bailey smiled. “Yeah, I'm afraid I'll have to trouble you this time.”
“It's no big deal. Ms. Jefferson is such a credible person. The anti-cancer drug that you're in charge of
has now entered the fourth clinical trial stage and will soon be launched in the market. This is going to
benefit all mankind. It is my pleasure to be able to offer some help to you.”

Bailey exchanged some pleasantries with him.
She then turned to look at Victoria and said concernedly, “You go check out the situation first. If your
brother is being framed, then it is easy to deal with. But if he did manipulate the stock market... Then,
we'll think of other ways.”
“Okay, thank you. Bay, if you were not here, I'll really be at a loss.”
Bailey patted her shoulder and said, “Let's go. I'll wait for you outside.”
“Okay.”
At the same time, at the Luther residence.
Artemis, who just came out of Maxton's room, received a call from Dwayne.
He learned from Dwayne that Victor was arrested by the Department of Justice, and Victoria contacted
Bailey for help.
“Okay, I got it. You go and find out what Victor did.”
“Okay.”
Bailey waited for an hour at the entrance of the police station.
Just when her patience was exhausted and about to go in, Victoria walked out in very slow steps.
Bailey immediately rushed toward her and asked solemnly, “Is the situation that bad?”
Victoria's legs buckled, and she fell into Bailey's arms. “I think his life is ruined. The amount involved is
as high as billions. How are we going to solve this?”
Bailey stretched out her hands to help her sit on the steps, and comforted her, “Don't worry too much
first. Tell me the situation.”
“My brother went to a casino to gamble some time ago and lost hundreds of millions in one night. He
didn't dare to ask for money from the family for fear that my dad will break his legs. So he manipulated
the stock of a listed company after being instigated by someone. He managed to get a few billion out of
it to pay his debt.”
Bailey's heart skipped a beat, and she asked in a trembling voice, “Which company's stock did he
manipulate?”
