“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.
