Chapter 259
Artemis has ordered the staff of the City Hall to keep that matter a secret. It couldn't have leaked from
there. This means... “Do you know who spread the news?”
Sebastian shook his head. “It was sent to us by an anonymous person. I tried to find out who they
were, but I couldn't locate their IP address.”
“Let me try.” Bailey grabbed his laptop. “Where's the original file?”
Sebastian pointed at an email on the screen. “Here.”
“Okay.” Bailey clicked on the original file on the email, and her fingers began dancing on the keyboard.
Moments later, she narrowed her eyes and informed, “This is sent from Century Square. The person
who sent it was probably using their personal account.”
Then she hacked into the surveillance system at Century Square.
As the screen displayed the live footage captured by the cameras, her eyes focused on one particular
footage. “Isn't that Rhonda? Why is she at Century Square? And why are there so many people?”
Sebastian shrugged with a grin. “Where there are women, there are lots of people. Look, there's
another familiar face in the crowd. If my memory serves me right, I think that woman's the
internationally famous Ms. Zoey from the Shurmer family.”
That stunned her a little. She followed the direction he was pointing and saw Zoey hiding in the crowd.
Upon zooming into the footage, she could clearly see Zoey's sinister and strange smile.

“I think I get it now.” Sebastian raised his voice. “Ms. Shurmer must've asked someone to send this
news to me. There are many people in the mall right now, so if news about Rhonda and Mr. Luther's
fake marriage leaks to the public, she'll instantly become the target and joke of Hallsbay. Tsk, tsk, tsk,
what a devious, well-thought-out plan. This woman is scary when she wants her man.”
Bailey raised her brows. This kid's imagination is pretty rich. Even I didn't think of that yet. It seems to
be true now that I gave it some thought. It's undeniable that Zoey loves Artemis, which is why she
couldn't bear it when Rhonda was going everywhere announcing that she was Mrs. Luther. After
receiving the news about Artemis and Rhonda's fake marriage certificate from the City Hall, she
planned to use this chance to send Rhonda to jail. Unfortunately, her plan is doomed to fail because
news about Rhonda's fake marriage cannot be leaked out yet. At least, not before Cadence is caught.
It's a shame she can't utilize this golden opportunity when so many people are gathered around
Rhonda.
“Help me suppress this news, Sebby. Leave the rest to me.”
In response, Sebastian narrowed his eyes and spoke in a deep voice. “Zayron mentioned Rhonda was
the reason you three suffered back then. Not only that, she killed Zayron's great-granny and brother.
Are you sure you want to give up this opportunity?”
Bailey rubbed her head and smiled. “Just because I'm letting her go for now doesn't mean I've forgiven
her. I'll find an even better chance to deliver her a lethal strike. She enjoys being treated like a star,
right? In that case, I should let her enjoy the moment for a bit longer. After all, the higher she ascends,
the harder she'll fall.”
Sebastian scratched his head and said, “Fine. I'll ask people to suppress this news. However, I won't
be able to do anything if they decide to send the news to another media company.”
“I know. Just do it.” After watching Sebastian return to the study, Bailey gave Edmund a call.
“What's the matter, Bay?” Edmund asked.
Without beating around the bush, she informed, “You know about your cousin and Rhonda's fake
marriage certificate, right? Just now, the daughter of the Shurmer family, Zoey, has anonymously
leaked this news to one of the media companies under LG Corporation. I have my reasons for not
wanting the news to leak out yet, so can you help me contact Zeke and ask him to tell his sister to back
off?”
Even though Edmund didn't know what she was thinking, he was still smart enough to figure something
out. “Rhonda is still useful to you, huh? Very well. I'll contact Zeke and ask him to tell his sister to back
off. Bay, if my cousin didn't register his marriage with Rhonda, does this mean you plan to—”
“I know what you want to say. Don't worry. I've decided to leave Hallsbay. Once this new batch of
medicine enters the market, I'll quit my job and leave quietly.”
“Really?” Joy was heard in his voice. “You've really decided to leave?”
“Yeah. Once I've settled down overseas with Zayron and Susan, I'll contact you again. Don't tell anyone
about this, Edmund. I'm afraid Artemis won't let me go if he learns the news.”
“Okay, okay, I won't tell anyone.”
Inside the mall, Zoey was waiting for an amazing show as she stood in the crowd.
However, all she got was a call from her elder brother. “Where are you?”
“I'm at Century Square buying some clothes. What's the matter, Zeke?”
“I know what you told Joran to do. I've also contacted the people in LG corporation to suppress the
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmnews.”
Zoey's grip around her phone tightened as she asked with a frown, “Why are you doing this, Zeke?
Don't you want to see your sister lead a better life? I'm telling you, rescind your suppression order
immediately. Let them report the news about Artemis and Rhonda's fake marriage certificate to the
whole world.”
A brief silence ensued before Zeke sighed and spoke. “You're mistaken, Zozo. Artemis has his plans
for the fake marriage certificate he created. If you act on your own, you'll ruin his plan. When he finds
out you're the one responsible, you'll be going for wool and coming home shorn. Do you understand?”
Zoey was stunned because she didn't think her plans through.
All she wanted was to expose Rhonda in front of everyone and then personally send her to prison. She
wanted the title of Mrs. Luther for herself, and she didn't want anyone else to have it.
Upon listening to her brother's analysis, she realized she had acted too rashly. If Artemis was using a
street beggar to fool Rhonda, it must mean he's trying to kick her out. Indeed, it's not worth the risk for
a woman who's already been abandoned.
“I'm sorry, Zeke. If not for you, I believe I would've shot myself in the foot. You're right. One day, Artemis
will take care of Rhonda and let her feel what it's like to fall from grace. There's no need for me to
rush.”
“I'm glad you understand. Wipe out all traces of what you did. Don't let anyone get dirt on you.”
“Okay.”
Inside a cafe at the corner of a street, Scarlett and Raiden were sitting next to a window.
The atmosphere inside was quite tense, as their conversation didn't seem to be going well.
“This is the answer you're giving me after thinking about it for a few days, Raiden?”
