Artemis smirked. “I didn't force you.”

“Oh, no, no. I'm the one who's willing to work for you. Who dares to say that you're forcing me?” Dwayne quickly uttered.

Despite saying that, he had already cursed the Luther family several times inwardly. He even wants to get me, his friend, into trouble. Can he be any more shameless?

“Forget it. Get the director of the design department to discuss it with her. It's not as if I have to see her. Call Stephen Chandler later and tell him to come to the CEO's office.”

In the living room of the Luther residence, Felicity was sitting on the couch chatting with Beatrice.

After exchanging some pleasantries, Beatrice began to talk about her purpose for dropping by. “Mrs. Luther, Max is already at this age. Shouldn't we bring forward Artemis and Ronni's marriage?

After saying that, she gave it a thought before suggesting, “Why don't you try your best again, Ronni? See if you can have sex with him for one night. It'll be easier for me to pressure him when he has already touched you.”
