Chapter 81

Artemis frowned. “How are they so fast?”

Dwayne rolled his eyes at him. This shameless sly fox. How are they so fast? It's all because of your mother's instigation. Of course, I can't say this in front of Ms. Jefferson. Otherwise, she'll direct her anger at Artemis, and I'll have to bear the brunt of the tyrant if he sulks.

“Not really. This matter has been brewing for the past couple of days. It's evident the public is supportive of Snowflake protecting her rights through their one-sided comments. Now is the best time for Juliana to come forward and strike while the iron is hot. Else, it'll be difficult to pressure Snowflake with the public's support after the interest in this incident dies down a few days later.”

Bailey turned to Artemis. “I think it'll be best if I tell you everything now, Mr. Luther, to get this matter out of your mind,” she said impassively.

Before Artemis could respond, Dwayne urged, “Mr. Luther said you have a bargaining chip in your hand. It looks like he's right about that. Please disclose everything to us then, Ms. Jefferson.”

“Do you have nothing to do?” Artemis said in a clipped voice. Dwayne swallowed the words on the tip of his tongue at Artemis' frustration.

He wasn't insensible, so he caught the change in the tyrant's expression and tone. “Oh, I just remembered I have something else to handle, so I'll be taking my leave. Please continue your discussion without me.”

After watching Dwayne depart, Artemis glanced down at his watch. “It's already lunchtime. Let me take you to lunch first. I'll arrange for you to stay at my private mansion for a few days afterward. You definitely can't go back to Shelbert Condominium, so it's best if you can lie low somewhere else,” he offered.

“No thanks,” Bailey rejected. “I should stay at a hotel. How can I trouble you, Mr. Luther? I'm thankful for your offer, but it's unnecessary. If you have some free time on your hand, maybe head over to the condominium and fetch Maxton back to the Luther residence. I fear he'll get food poisoning again if I'm not there. I don't want the public to accuse me of harming children once this plagiarism incident dies down.”

Artemis' expression darkened.

Am I so loathsome for this woman to avoid me like the plague?

“Fine, I'll take all three of the kids back to my private mansion, and you can stay at the hotel alone.”

Bailey was rendered speechless at his remark.

Bailey secretly reserved a room at a five-star hotel, or more specifically, a suite next to Juliana's room.

Not long after she checked into her room, Juliana knocked on her door.
