Samuel staggered, causing him to take a few swift steps forward. It wasn't until both his hands landed on the table that he stabilized himself and prevented himself from falling to the ground.

“No, it's not my time to retire yet. You can't force me to retire! First, it was Laurence. Now, it's me. Are you really trying to get rid of all your elders in the company, Artemis?” he questioned.

Artemis smiled with a raised eyebrow and helped stop his uncle's sliding body from falling. “I was just joking with you, Uncle Samuel. Why are you panicking? Relax. If you don't do anything wrong, no one will dare to force you out.”

“R-Really?”

With a smile, Artemis nodded. “Of course. However, I suggest you recognize who's the real person in charge of Luther Group and who you should listen to. Otherwise...”

“Yes, yes, of course.” Samuel stood with the help of his nephew before rubbing the sweat on his forehead away. “I must have been out of my mind earlier. Don't worry; I won't make the same mistake again.”

The young man walked around the office table and guided his uncle to sit on the nearby couch. Smiling, he said, “Please tell me what my mother told you, Uncle Samuel.”

Sitting on the couch with a straightened back, Samuel spoke carefully. “She asked me to judge Ms. Bailey's work as plagiarism because then the legal department will be able to transfer the case to the court. She also told me to find a way to contact the original designer, Snowflake, and invite her to visit Hallsbay personally. Then, we are to encourage her to sue Ms. Bailey on the grounds of copyright violation and hopefully sentence Ms. Bailey to a few years in prison.”

Artemis' eyes narrowed. That old bat! She really wants Bailey dead. If she finds out Bailey had given birth to a descendant of the Luther family, I wonder if her attitude toward Bailey would change.

“Fine, I understand. After your people bring Bailey to the company, don't take her to the legal department. I want her to meet me right away.”

Obviously, Samuel wasn't going to say no and quickly agreed, “Of course. I'll give them a call this instant to relay your order.”

“You can leave now.”

The middle-aged man leaped from the couch and power-walked out of the room, even forgetting to bid goodbye.
