Super Mommy and Her Triplets -
Chapter 177
Chapter 177
Inside the living room of the Luther residence, Felicity showed no joy at all when she heard the news ofBailey's dismissal. Instead, she leaned against the couch with her face losing all color.
She had spent three days accepting the fact that her grandson had become a retard.
Pride and dignity no longer mattered to her. In fact, she was willing to grovel at Bailey's feet as long asthe latter could cure her precious grandson.
Unfortunately, even the resourceful Bailey had run out of ideas on how to treat Maxton.
It feels like God isn't even granting me the opportunity to beg on my knees.
“Mom...”
Caridee gave Felicity a nudge on her arm. After hesitating for a moment, she probed, “There's a lotgoing on at home now. I don't think anyone is in the mood to hold a banquet. Let's just cancel mycoming-of-age ceremony.”
Felicity's listless gaze was slightly jolted. Turning her attention to Caridee, she responded in a hoarsevoice, “Your coming-of-age ceremony is a once-in-a-lifetime event. How can we cancel it? Isn't Simonorganizing it now? Stop saying silly stuff like that.”
As a burning sensation descended upon Caridee's nose, she threw herself into Felicity's arms.
“Mom, Max is a lucky child. Since he managed to overcome his autism earlier, I'm sure he will repeathis success again. I have faith that he will recover.”
“That's right. He definitely will,” Felicity lamented softly. “It's just that we don't know when. I feel as if Iwon't ever get to see Max speaking adorably in my arms again.”
“Mom, you—”
Before Caridee could say a word, a commotion was heard on the second floor.
One of the maids hurried downstairs and reported, “M-Mrs. Luther, M-Mr. Maxton has peed his pantsagain.”
Springing to her feet, Felicity thundered, “Why are you telling me that? Shouldn't you be changing hispants instead?”
“H-He refuses to let me do it no matter what and insists on yelling for his mom.”
“In that case, you should get his mom instead of coming to me. Where's Rhonda? Didn't I ask her tostay by his side? Where did she run off to?”
The maid replied meekly, “Ms. Rhonda went to her room to take a call and hasn't come out since then.”
“Why don't you call for her, then? What are you still waiting for?”
“Oh, oh, all right.”
Once the maid was gone, Felicity slumped onto the couch with despair written all over her face. She
then ranted in a heartbroken tone, “Oh, my poor grandson. He has never soiled his pants since he wasa baby. B-But now... What has the Luther family done wrong for God to torment my grandson thisway?”
As her words fell, she pounded her chest with her fist.
Restraining her mother's hands, Caridee cried out in tears, “Mom, don't take it out on yourself. Theremust be a way. I'm sure Bailey is capable of curing Max.”
At the mention of Bailey, Felicity—as if she was grasping at straws—grabbed Caridee's arm andordered anxiously, “The public is condemning Bailey and even calling for her to be jailed. Y-You, go andtell Artemis that he has to protect Bailey. Worse comes to worst, get him to shoulder the blame as longas she isn't sent to prison by the folks at Emmy Boutique. If it comes to that, what will happen to Max?Who's going to treat him?”
Caridee sighed in resignation.
Kinship is a strange thing. Mom used to hate Bailey and can't wait to rip her to pieces. But because ofMax now, she's willing to cast aside her pride to accept the person she hates the most.
“Go now. Quickly. What are you spacing out for? Once Bailey goes to prison, it will be hard to get herout.”
“Oh, okay. I'll call Artemis now.”
In the second-floor bedroom, Rhonda was greeted by a stinking smell the moment she walked in.
Her expression drastically changed.
D*mn it, that b*stard has soiled his pants again.
If it was not for the maids present, she would definitely not hide the disdain and resentment on herface.
“Ms. Jefferson, you're finally here. Mr. Maxton refused to let us change him. And now, he's covered in...You should help him wash up and change a new pair of pants.”
Sweeping a piercing gaze over, Rhonda exploded, “Why do I have to do everything myself? What didthe Luther family pay you so much for? If you can't resolve something as trivial as this, all of you are nolonger needed and should get lost!”
The maids turned pale in unison.
“Ms. Jefferson, we're not trying to skive nor think it's beneath us. It's just that... Mr. Maxton refuses tolet us touch him.”
“That's right. Now that he's fragile psychologically, he just wants his mother. There's really nothing wecan do.”
Rhonda was further incensed by their words.
He has never clung to me when he was normal. And now, he only remembers me when he has soiledhis pants? D*mn it, what a despicable child!
“Out you go! All of you!”
With no intention of angering Rhonda any further, the maids scurried out in compliance.
Meanwhile, when Rhonda looked at Maxton, who was giggling like a fool, she could feel her cheekstwitch.
If only I increased the dosage back then, I wouldn't have ended up with a retard right now.
“Hehe, hehehe...”
Maxton's idiotic laughter sent a chill down Rhonda's spine. Unable to hide her exasperation any longer,she pinched her nose as she gradually approached him.
If only it were possible, she really wanted to take his life.
“Get up and follow me to the bathroom.”
“Hehehe.”
“Did you hear me? I want you to follow me to the bathroom.”
“Hehehe.”
Stumped, Rhonda braced herself and reached out to scoop him up. However, the moment she placedher hands on him, she felt something warm and sticky.
Looking down, she felt the color drain from her face.
It's poop!
“You...”
Enraged, she began to show her true colors. “You b*stard. I should have strangled you when I firstbrought you to the Luther family. It would have saved me a lot of trouble, including being trapped byJessica...”
She had hardly spoken when she held her tongue. With an anxious expression, she scanned hersurroundings and only breathed a sigh of relief after realizing that she was alone.
When she returned her gaze toward Maxton and saw that he was still laughing stupidly, her mind wasfinally put at ease.
He's just an idiot and probably doesn't know what I'm saying.
“Come, follow me into the bathroom.”
Grabbing his arm forcefully, she dragged him right out of bed.
Although Maxton continued to laugh stupidly, his laughter sounded grimmer.
Not long after Luther Group dismissed Bailey, Emmy Boutique's public relations department issued astatement to reiterate that they would take legal action against those who were responsible.
As to whether they would sue Bailey or Luther Group, it had not been revealed yet.
Nonetheless, public speculation weighed heavily toward Bailey, as Emmy Boutique also had acandidate in The Grand Fashion Show. Moreover, that candidate's biggest competitor was Bailey.
If Bailey were to be convicted, the title of The Ultimate Designer would naturally go to Emmy Boutique.
As a result, no one had any doubt that Bailey would be the target of the lawsuit.
Unexpectedly, two days later, Emmy Boutique made a decision that shocked the entire world.
