Chapter 47
Zayron felt a chilling stare on him, and the next moment, his ear was pulled and twisted forcefully by Bailey.
“Not only do you have naughty thoughts, but you're acting on them now! Out with it! Which little girl were you planning to use that drug on?” she roared.
Zayron was speechless, amazed by his mom's unusual chain of thought.
“That drug was meant for you, Mommy!” Maxton chipped in.
Bailey's face fell when she heard that.
Zayron gave Maxton a death stare and grumbled, “It's a bloody mistake to bring you with me!”
He then turned to his mother and asked, “We're running out of time. Are you sure you want to waste time on this?”
Bailey flung him to the ground and solemnly said, “I'll settle this with you when we get home! Now, find a way to lure Rhonda here, and force-feed her the drug you have!”
Zayron winked and let out a naughty laugh. Getting into mischief was certainly his area of expertise!
As Beatrice was walking away from the house, she met Rhonda, who was heading toward her.
“How did it go, Mom? Did you manage to subdue that slutty Bailey?” Rhonda asked.
Beatrice was a prideful woman, so she was annoyed that Rhonda actually asked her that question. “What makes you think there's even a possibility I'll fail?” she chided.
Rhonda beamed with joy upon hearing that. “That's great! Sienna just told him she has already given the drug to Laurence, and she was asking if we're ready on our side.”
“Let's go! We'll invite Laurence to the wonderful entertainment we've specially prepared for him! I promise you our guests are in for a visual treat tonight, and they'll not regret coming here!” Beatrice was smiling sinisterly as she spoke.
“You move along, Mom. I want to go and take a look at Bailey. She had always been so arrogant, so I want to see her in her pathetic state now.”
There was a wicked look in Rhonda's eyes as she added, “Also, the high-definition camera is off, right? I want to personally turn it on. Remember to get the guys to link it to the big screen at the party. I want everyone to enjoy the raunchy session between Laurence and her!”
She especially wanted Artemis to watch it, so he would see how cheap and slutty the woman he fancied was.
Beatrice thought nothing could go wrong with Rhonda going to that house, so she agreed to the plan. “Sure! I'll go get Laurence while you handle the camera in that house. Be careful and don't leave any evidence of your presence there,” she reminded.
“Don't worry, Mom. I know what to do!”
After watching Beatrice head off, Rhonda happily made her way to Bailey's former house.
As she was passing the quiet path, she suddenly felt a sharp pain in her neck. Before she could scream, she had already blacked out and collapsed onto the pebbled ground.
“Trying to bully my mommy? We'll let you have an exciting night tonight before you face the wrath tomorrow!” Zayron snorted and said.
Hot... My body is burning hot!
Rhonda was in a daze and slumped on the bed, but her hands were flailing about in the air.
“Oh, my little beauty...”
The next moment, a heavy and grossly out-of-shape man appeared on the screen, his huge body blocking Rhonda completely from the camera.
Boom!
Instantly, the whole party venue became so silent that one could hear a pin drop.
In the dead quiet, the steamy noises coming out of the speakers became more vivid and noticeable.
When Beatrice saw the image on the screen, she was dumbfounded and rooted to the ground in shock, her earlier smile still frozen on her face.
“Gosh! Is-isn't that Ms. Rhonda on the screen?”
“Look! It's showing her face now! Indeed it is Ms. Rhonda!”
“Quick, snap some photos! This is going to be the top breaking news!”
Instantly, all the cameras' shutter sounds rang out at the party, and flashlights were going off wildly as the media began to capture the racy scene played on the screen.
Beatrice had invited many media companies to the birthday celebration. She wanted to make use of them to publicize Bailey's scandalous session with a man. She wanted Bailey's bad name to spread wide and far, not only nationally, but also internationally.
It was a roaring success as she had planned, but little did she expect the female lead of the scandal was her daughter instead.
She had single-handedly ruined her own daughter!
She felt the world spinning around her, and stumbled backward.
A middle-aged housekeeper quickly supported Beatrice and then whispered in her ear, “You can't go into a panic now, Mrs. Jefferson. Please get someone to turn off the projector, then hurry over to the house to save Ms. Rhonda! Otherwise... I'm afraid her life will be ruined!”
Beatrice shuddered and snapped out of her daze. She flusteredly turned to the crew near her and shouted, “Turn off the projector! Turn it off!”
The crew was also in a panic and sweating profusely. His voice was a tremble when he replied, “Mrs. Jeff—Jefferson, I can't turn it off! The camera had linked up directly with the screen, so we can't control it from our end!”
As Beatrice felt another wave of dizziness hit her, she could hear a commotion from the crowd again.
“Look! The face of the man on Ms. Rhonda is visible now! Oh my! He looks familiar!”
“It's Mr. Laurence! He's Laurence Luther!”
“Yes, yes, yes! That's him!”
“Who would have thought Ms. Rhonda would be so open and wild, and couldn't even reject a fifty-year- old old man?”
“The thing is, that old man is Mr. Artemis' uncle! My goodness! This is pushing the boundaries of morals!”
The expressions on Felicity, Yoel, and Gwendolyn's faces darkened as they watched the chaotic scene.
They were stunned and speechless for a long while, caught totally off-guard by the unexpected turn of the event.
As they snapped out of their daze, they could no longer contain their fury.
“What's happening? Felicity roared at Clarence and Beatrice. “How could you let this scandal break out in front of so many people? Are you trying to humiliate yourself or disgrace the Luther family?”
Colors drained from Clarence and Beatrice's faces. They knew that if they got into the bad books of the grand old dame of the Luther family, Rhonda could forget about marrying into their family.
Beatrice hurriedly explained, “Mrs. Luther, someone must be trying to frame Ronni! Give me some time and I'll get to the bottom of this!”
With that, she rushed off, leaving all the guests behind.
“What are we waiting for? Let's follow her! How can we miss this exciting development!”
“That's right! Let's go with her and see the wild Ms. Rhonda in action! She had become notorious and arrogant after giving birth to the heir of the Luther family. Let's interview her and find out why she's doing such a disgraceful act on her father's birthday celebration!”
“Yeah! We've got to interrogate her. Shame on her for engaging in such an indecent affair with the uncle of her husband!”
Felicity turned to Artemis and ordered, “Stop this fiasco, Artemis! You have to get someone to stop this nonsense. The Luther family's reputation is at stake, and we cannot afford to have our reputation tarnished by this scandal!”
