Susan gave him a cheeky smile and replied, “My mommy's name is Bailey, while my godmother's name is Victoria. Which one are you referring to?”

“Who's this girl, Artemis?”

Artemis kept quiet, and merely looked at Susan.

A big smile appeared on Susan's face as she declared, “I'm Mr. Luther's partner!”

That left everyone speechless.

From a corner of the venue, Bailey heard that child-like reply. She instantly stopped in her track and turned toward the direction where Susan's voice came from.
