Chapter 77
Juliana curved her brows, and a glint of mischief shone in her eyes as a menacing smile broke out onher face.
“You mean you want to teach them a good lesson?” she asked.
Zayron blinked at her in agreement and went closer to whisper something in her ear.
“That's a great idea!” Juliana exclaimed as she smacked the table, knocking over the coffee cup on thetable.
Zayron recoiled back and glared at the woman in disdain. “Can you please be gentle? Stop giving me ashock like this!”
Juliana pinched his cheek and grinned. “I love the idea. Don't you worry! I'll harness my finest actingskill. I'll send them to the sky and see them drop from above.”
Okay. I'm starting to regret asking this crazy woman to come to Hallsbay. I hope this is not a mistake.Please don't mess things up for me.
Over at the Luther residence, Felicity was having a talk with Caridee on the couch.
“Mom, has the public relations department reached out to Snowflake?” Caridee asked.
Felicity looked tired after having to deal with Bailey for two days.
On the one hand, she had to make sure that Bailey did not solicit help from Artemis; on the other, she
had to ensure Bailey did not seduce Edmund. There was just too much on her plate.
“There's no news yet. It's as if she's vanished into thin air. No one seems to be able to contact her. Wecan't even find any information about her. I'm starting to doubt if she even exists,” Felicity replied.
Caridee felt relieved. She thought for a few moments and suggested, “Mom, why not we just let thisslide? Maybe she saw Snowflake's design before, and that somehow influenced her own design whenshe was drawing. I mean, we can indeed see glimpses of Snowflake's design in her work, but this isnot going to affect me substantially, so maybe we can just put this behind us.”
“No,” Felicity protested outright. “This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for me to send her to jail. Youhave no idea how arrogant she is. I'll see if she can still act so recklessly once she's behind bars.”
“But... she's not that bad. We still can't find Snowflake up till now, so it's probably meant to be. Whydon't we just go with the flow and let her go?” Caridee argued.
Felicity was about to lecture her when her phone on the table rang.
Is it about Snowflake?
She picked up and asked right away, “How's it going? Did y'all find her?”
“I'm sorry, Mrs. Luther. We searched every nook and cranny for her, but we still couldn't find her.However, we do have something about Juliana Stone, her mentee.”
“Oh!” Thrill spread across Felicity's face. “Where is she?”
“She's at a five-star hotel in Hallsbay. I think she's here to settle the issue on behalf of her mentor. Ithink we can still get the proxy to file a case and press charges once we convince her.”
Felicity grasped her phone tightly. “Reach out to her. Tell her I'm inviting her to tea today.”
“Right away.” novelbin
Felicity sneered after hanging up the call. “Meant to be, you said, Caridee? Hell, no. They've foundSnowflake's mentee, Juliana. We just need her to stand in place of Snowflake as the plaintiff. Bailey'snot walking away with impunity this time!”
Caridee pursed her lips upon learning the news. Personally, she had no intention of making a fuss outof this issue, but because her mother hated Bailey to her bones, there was no way Caridee coulddissuade her.
“Mom, do you really want to meet Juliana? I think we should just let it go.”
Felicity glowered at her and went toward the door. “It's not just about her plagiarizing someone else'swork. Edmund is hellbent on marrying her, and your brother is going all out to defend her. This is waypast my bottom line. There's no way a filthy woman like her is entering the Chivers family or the Lutherfamily.”
Caridee was left speechless.
In the meantime, Juliana was lying on the bed playing games in a five-star hotel when the doorbellrang.
She flipped out of bed and went to get the door unwillingly.
“Who dares interrupt my game?”
Dwayne rubbed his nose and retreated two steps. “Hi, you must be Ms. Juliana Stone. I'm DwayneDerning, the assistant of Luther Group's CEO.”
“I see,” Juliana replied without taking her eyes off her phone.
Dwayne cleared his throat as he tried to process the awkwardness. “Well, I'm here to discuss Ms.Bailey's plagiarism incident. I'm sure you've heard of it. I wonder what your mentor has in mind movingforward.”
Juliana's fingers stopped on the phone screen, and she looked up at the man, alarmed. “What do youthink she will do? Someone copied her work!”
Before Dwayne could answer, a baritone and magnetic voice sounded outside the corridor. “So, youmean your mentor is going to sue her?”
The assistant and Juliana looked over.
“Mr. Luther,” Dwayne greeted courteously before stepping aside.
As for Juliana, she was captivated by how stunning the man was.
Juliana would lose her composure every time she saw handsome men like Artemis. That had always
been her weak spot.
“Ah, Mr. Luther. You're the man at the helm of the Luther Group. You sound as if you don't want mymentor to sue Ms. Bailey.”
Artemis leaned against the wall casually, with one hand dipped into the pocket of his slacks andanother toying with his phone. He smiled in derision when he heard Juliana.
Juliana scratched her nose and looked away. Gosh. I need to stop staring at him. I'll faint at this rate.He's one fine catch, man. He's one of the five wealthiest men in the world and so handsome. Someonelike him can just steal any woman's heart effortlessly.
“Your fame precedes you, Ms. Stone. You're an internationally-acclaimed professional car racer and adesigner, but Ms. Bailey is only a lead designer at our branch, so I do not wish your mentor would sueher. It will jeopardize Luther Group's reputation if she ends up in jail. Spell your terms. I just want to getthis over with,” Artemis pronounced.
Juliana raised her brows provocatively and walked over to Artemis. Then, she hooked her hand on hisshoulder and rubbed against his face. “I know just how many women want you in their bed, but none ofthem had their way. How about you sleep with me tonight? If you satisfy me, I'll just call off the wholething and leave Hallsbay as if nothing happened.”
Cough!
Dwayne was startled by how blunt the woman was.
Goodness. I can't believe she's teasing the tyrant. She's talking to him like he's a gigolo.
