Chapter 937 Had Quite A Blast
This woman is truly a daredevil. There's simply nothing in this world that she doesn't dare to do. If not
for my lingering influence, given this woman's level of madness, she might resort to underhanded
tactics to render me defenseless and then force me into engaging in some pleasurable activities with
her.
“Haha.” Seeing Artemis' guarded expression, Rebecca couldn't help but laugh joyously. I never thought
you'd have moments of fear. In my memory, even when faced with a hail of bullets, you remained
unflustered. What's the matter? Are you worried that you might fall for my gentle charm?”
As her words fell, she laughed heartily three times, then strolled outward.
Artemis always felt that her laughter was enchanting, subtly hinting at some underlying scheme.
After watching her leave, he, too, followed her with unhurried steps.
She managed to make it all the way to the outdoor grounds outside the main house without losing her
sanity again.
After she climbed into the middle heavy-duty armored car, she cheerfully blew a kiss to the man on the
steps, then abruptly closed the vehicle door and drove off.
Upon seeing that the vixen had finally left, Artemis couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
If possible, he never wanted to see that woman again in his lifetime.
Dealing with her was even more exhausting than handling dozens of assassins.
“Mr. Luther, the person sent over by the police has been settled in the lounge. What should we go
next?”
The butler's voice echoed in Artemis' ears, pulling him back from his thoughts.
After a moment of silence, he pulled out his phone and called Archie, asking him to come and pick up
the person.
After ending the call, a hint of curiosity welled up in his heart, and he found himself subconsciously
heading toward the lounge.
He was curious to see who was the death row inmate that had attracted Archie's attention.
At another part of the research base, Simon paced into the room where Aisley was being held.
It was truly desolating for the two ex-lovers to meet each other again under such circumstances.
With a weary expression, Aisley looked at Simon, a trace of regret flashing in her eyes. He has become
increasingly mature and charming. He is, after all, the legitimate heir of the Luther family. As he grew,
his overpowering aura of a born leader gradually began to reveal itself. This man is originally mine. Yet,
I didn't know how to cherish him, and in the end, I lost him.
Sometimes she wondered if she hadn't broken up with him back then, would Catherine and her
daughter have been able to take advantage of the situation?
Aisley figured perhaps not.
Based on her understanding of Simon, he would at most bring his daughter back to the family. He
would not get involved with Catherine.
However, Aisley had foolishly pushed him away at the crucial moment, giving Catherine an opportunity
to take advantage.
“Simon, have you ever loved me?”
Simon remained silent. A full minute passed before he finally spoke. “Before Catherine appeared, I had
thought about marrying you. Everyone in the Luther family knew this. As for whether I loved you or not,
it's no longer important now. Our destiny has reached its end. In the future, I only want to devote myself
to Catherine and Luna.”
Aisley couldn't help but laugh bitterly. She had managed to lose the happiness that was within her
grasp.
There was no one else to blame.
It was just that she was too foolish, making the decision to break up at such a moment.
“Are you seeing me off for the last time?”
Simon shook his head. “I won't lay a hand on you. You just wait for the police to show up and escort
you out. For your crimes, you may not be sentenced to death, but you'll likely spend the rest of your life
in prison. Take this opportunity to reform yourself and let go of your obsessions and hatred. Perhaps,
you might find some peace and freedom.”
Having said that, he turned around, ready to leave.
Aisley watched his retreating figure with a bitter smile on her face. “If there's a next life, I'll cherish it
properly. I wish you and Catherine a fruitful relationship, loving each other for a lifetime.”
“Thank you.”
As Simon strode toward the door, his restless emotions gradually calmed down, and the knot in his
heart was completely untied.
He had completely severed ties with the past, no longer harboring any thoughts or reminiscences.
In the years to come, all Simon wanted was to take good care of Catherine and Luna. Artemis once
told me a man's accomplishment is not measured by the extent of his power but by his ability to have a
complete family, a loving wife by his side, and children around his knees. I believe that the heavens
have already paved a path for me to achieve fulfillment, and all I need to do is firmly grasp it.
An hour later, the police arrived at the research base and took Aisley away.
Catherine stood on the balcony of the infirmary, squinting as she watched a few police officers stuff
Aisley into a police car.
After a moment of silence, she tried to speak to Simon beside her. “It's my appearance that led her to
this predicament today. I am to blame.”
Simon shook his head and sighed. “It's her moral corruption that gave birth to her harmful intent.
Although it's a pity for her to end up in this situation, she has only herself to blame. All right. Don't
overthink it. Hurry up and pack your things. We need to leave no later than the day after tomorrow.”
With a furrowed brow, Catherine suggested, “Why don't you take Luna back to Hallsbay first? She can't
handle the turmoil anymore. I have Eunice in my hands. They will hand over the Fragrance Journal.
Once I get the item, I'll return to Hallsbay to find you all.”
Simon nodded, seemingly agreeing with her thoughts. However, the words he spoke left Catherine
feeling somewhat helpless. “I'll ask my mom and dad to come over and take Luna back to Hallsbay.
Then, I'll go with you to the Rogers residence.”
He was no fool.
If he just let Catherine leave like that, it was highly likely she wouldn't return. Content rights by NôvelDr//ama.Org.
After all the trouble he went through to find his destined wife, he certainly didn't want to lose her.
“Simon, can you be reasonable for once? I mean, you and Luna together...”
“All right. It's settled, then. Luna will go to Hallsbay, and I will accompany you to the Rogers residence.”
Catherine was rendered speechless.
Catherine found it impossible to communicate with him, so she turned around and walked toward the
room.
“There's no need to trouble your parents. I'll take Luna to Gregan. If you want to tag along, feel free. I'll
just pretend there's a dog following me around.”
A mischievous glint flashed in Simon's gaze. Are you trying to escape from me? There's no way I'll let
that happen! I've set my heart on marrying you.
At the same moment, Archie arrived at the base.
When Artemis met him, he flashed him a smile full of profound meaning. “Mr. Archie, you're quite the
strategist. If I had known that this was the person you wanted to save, I might not have agreed.”
After he finished speaking, he walked straight out of the lounge.
Archie couldn't help but give a bitter smile. “Rest assured, Mr. Luther. I will keep a close eye on him
and prevent him from making an enemy of Bailey again.”
Artemis didn't respond.
When Artemis returned to the Luther residence, he noticed something was off with the atmosphere.
At that moment, Maxton walked out of the living room, giving his father a look as if hinting at Artemis
that he was on his own. Then, Maxton left.
Artemis' eyelids twitched fiercely twice. A thought popped into his mind at once. Rebecca provoked
Bailey.
While he was momentarily lost in thought, the sound of something tearing through the air rang beside
his ear. Then, an object was hurtling toward his forehead.
He swiftly dodged, narrowly avoiding the lethal strike.
Judging by the aggressiveness, it seemed that Bailey was quite furious. What the f*ck did you do this
time, Rebecca?
“Wifey, let me explain.”
Bailey walked up to him and wrapped her arms around his neck.
As her gaze wandered, it landed on the faint lipstick mark on the collar of his shirt, which made the
smile on her face even brighter. “Artemis, you seem to have had quite a blast.”
