SUPER MOMMY AND HER TRIPLETS - Season 5 Episode 60

There was nothing Holden could do about the fact that his son disdained him.

Given that he had been active in the underworld for years, no one in the world would dare disrespect him.

It was his first time to be disdained by someone else, not to mention by a bratty kid.

After listening to his explanation, Sebastian snorted softly. There was still a scowl on his face, but a small smile began to form at the corners of his lips.

This birth father of mine didn’t end up disappointing me. Mmh. I’m quite satisfied.

Out of the corner of his eye, Holden glanced at Sebastian. Seeing the quirk on his lips, he could not help but reach out to caress his head.

After a moment of silence, he attempted to explain. “It’s not that I don’t care about you and your mother. I didn’t know that you guys existed in the first place. Now that I’ve found out, of course, I’m not going to watch from afar anymore. Don’t worry. I’ll take good care of you two. I won’t let anyone bully you guys.”

Sebastian felt rather awkward. Following a snort, he avoided Holden’s touch. “If you dare to bully my mommy, I’ll annoy you to death.”

Holden was speechless.

At Luther Group’s headquarters, the atmosphere in the office on the top floor was incredibly

suffocating. Each and every employee was trembling with fear, and they did not even dare to breathe too heavily.

Artemis leaned against the doorframe of the secretary’s office. His eyes were narrowed as he stared at the chief secretary across from him and asked, “Why did you drug Mrs. Luther? She’s always treated you like a friend. Because of that, she didn’t have her guard up around you. You, on the other hand, decided to betray her.”

The chief secretary was so terrified that her legs turned to jelly. Unable to stand straight, she hurriedly grabbed onto the desk next to her to regain her balance.

“I-It wasn’t me, Mr. Luther. It really wasn’t me. Why would I drug Mrs. Luther? She’s so kind to me. I wouldn’t bite the hand that feeds me. There must be someone trying to frame me. I’m sure of it,” she insisted.

Without waiting for Artemis’ response, Chloe, who had been standing at the side, stepped forward. She pointed at the chief secretary’s nose and berated, “You ungrateful b*tch. Mrs. Luther has treated you so well, yet you harmed her. How could you betray her trust like that? You said you weren’t the one who drugged her, but why are there traces of abortifacient found in the fruits that you served to Bailey? From what I remember, you brought the fruits from your hometown. Who could it be if not you?”

As soon as those words fell from her lips, the petrified employees were worried that they would be implicated. After thinking for a while, they all made the chief secretary their target, intending to make her bear that crime.

It was all about survival of the fittest. That was the only way they could protect themselves. They had

no other choice. The corporate world was just that cruel—it was a dog-eat-dog world.

“Ms. West is right. It was the chief secretary. She was the one who drugged Mrs. Luther.”

“That’s right. Even though she acts all respectful to Mrs. Luther, she’s actually jealous of her.”

“You probably don’t know this, Mr. Luther, but the chief secretary’s been in love with you for a long time. She hated Mrs. Luther for stealing you, so she wanted to take revenge on her. She’s downright vicious.”

The chief secretary was at a loss for words.

Turning around abruptly, she looked at the subordinates she had personally selected from various departments in disbelief. Her teeth were clenched so hard that the sound of them grinding together was audible.

All this while, I treated them so well. It never hit me that they would be the first to turn against me the moment I was in trouble. I was a fool to meet my doom at the hands of the people I had handpicked. It is simply ridiculous, incredibly so.

When Chloe saw that everyone was slandering the chief secretary, she revealed an icy smirk.

The way they were all kicking her when she was down was a perfect representation of how merciless society could be.

The chief secretary had met her downfall. Once her position was vacant, the others would have a chance to fill it. There was no way they were going to let that chance slide.

“You heard it yourself, Mr. Luther. Everyone’s saying that the chief secretary had a motive. When combined with the conclusive evidence, we can confirm that she harmed the child in Mrs. Luther’s womb. You have to punish her,” Chloe declared.

Her powerful voice resonated through the place, and she spoke without room for negotiation.

In the meantime, the chief secretary found it impossible to refute the accusation thrown her way. Because of the unbearable shock, she took a few steps back and eventually slumped onto a swivel chair.

“It wasn’t me. It really wasn’t me. Mrs. Luther is so kind. How could I bear to hurt her? I would never do that,” she babbled.

Chloe sneered. “Those who have done wrong never admit it. However, we have witnesses and proof. There’s no point in trying to deny it.”

The chief secretary’s sharp gaze shifted over to Chloe. She seemed to have thought of something, and her pupils shrank violently. “It’s you. It must be you. I’m sure of it.”

Chloe narrowed her eyes. She was just about to snap at her, but Artemis was one step ahead. “We have definite proof of you drugging Mrs. Luther with abortifacient. You should have been detained immediately. However, since Mrs. Luther considers you a friend, she has decided to let you go. From today onward, you are blacklisted from every company under Luther Group.”

Once he was done speaking, he turned and went to the CEO’s office.

The chief secretary wanted to chase after him but was stopped by Chloe, who gave her an icy grin.

The latter whispered, “Know your place, or else you won’t be able to survive in Hallsbay. I’m the mayor’s daughter. Believe me when I say I can ruin your life with a snap of my fingers.”

There was nothing the chief secretary could say in response.

Chloe reached out to pat her on the shoulder, then turned and left the secretary’s office.

Upon arriving at the CEO’s office, she received an order that took her by surprise. “From today onward, you will take over as the chief secretary.”
