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?”

Those words left Artemis dumbfounded. He trembled involuntarily, then asked hesitantly, “Zayron and you are...”

“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.
