Chapter 185

If this is what the man wants, I'll do my best to satisfy his demand.

Artemis stood up from the chair, placed his hands on the table, and looked at her with a smile. “I thought you were a smart person, Victoria. Since you're friends with Bailey, I thought that at least you won't be that stupid, but I am disappointed by your decision today,” he remarked, enunciating every single word.

Victoria bowed deeply, and her tone remained firm. “You need not use reverse psychology on me, Mr. Luther. I've made up my mind, and I won't change it because of anyone. Saunders Group is now in need of people, and I want to go back to help my father.”

“Is that so?” A mysterious smile appeared on Artemis' face. “The reason Saunders Group achieved its current glory is entirely due to the annexation of Gezmond Group. Would it not unsettle you when you go back? Or do you have other plans, such as... handing over Saunders Group to the original owner.”

As Victoria trembled slightly, her expression also gradually stiffened. She replied in a somewhat shaky voice, “You've gone too far with your words, Mr. Luther. No matter what, the Saunders family is my origin. How can I bring disaster upon my family by opening the door to a dangerous foe?”

Hearing that, Artemis spread his hands and apologized, “I'm sorry. My words were improper. All right. Since you insist on leaving, I won't force you to stay. I wish you good luck in your future career.”

With that, he reached for the pen on the table and signed his name on the resignation letter.

Victoria curled her stiff lips and forced a smile. “Thank you, Mr. Luther. I'll hand over all the work at hand to Mr. Hathaway.”

With that, she gave him another bow, then turned around and walked toward the door.

She had merely taken two steps when Artemis' deep voice suddenly came from behind. “Some people are destined to become only a memory, for they have a complete life now, while there are also some people whom we should firmly grasp. Dwayne can be considered the most outstanding young man in Hallsbay. The Derning family is also a famous family of scholars. I hope you cherish him.”

Victoria stopped in her tracks and stood still for a few seconds before stepping forward again. “Thank you for the advice, Mr. Luther. If something is meant to happen in life, it will happen.”
