Chapter 270

The assistant was shocked as she stared at Victoria in bewilderment.

“M-Ms. Saunders, are you feeling under the weather? Should I accompany you to the hospital?”

Wearing a bitter smile, Victoria gradually lowered her head and replied, “I'm fine.”

After saying that, she fell silent for some time before suddenly muttering, “If I sell some shares illegally to obtain a large amount of cash, will I be imprisoned for a few years?”

“Ms. Saunders, w-what do you mean?”

Victoria took a deep breath, looked up at her assistant, and grinned. “It's nothing. My mind was not working properly, so I spouted some nonsense. Let's go. We'll go back to the company first.”

Lucy was rendered speechless by Victoria's response.

Meanwhile, in the CEO's office at Luther Group, Bailey pushed the door open and strode into the room.

She asked, “So, are there any updates on Kayden's whereabouts?”

Kayden was the only witness who could testify Cadence was the mastermind. Only by arresting Kayden could they completely eliminate Cadence, who was a ticking time bomb.

Bailey felt ill at ease, knowing Cadence was still alive and lurking in the shadows.

Artemis put down the pen in his hand and shook his head. “No. He must have planned his escape route in advance, so there's no way to track him down at the moment. Give me another two days. I reckon we'll receive some news soon because I've also mobilized the underworld forces to borrow their influence for this manhunt.”

Bailey walked up to the curved desk and rested her palms on the tabletop. Then, she leaned forward and arched her brows at him. “Underworld forces? It seems like you're not as simple as you appear to be, Mr. Luther. Perhaps you're hiding many more secrets behind your identity as the person in charge of Luther Group?”

Artemis leaned closer to her, lifted his head, and gently pecked the corner of her lips twice.
