Raymond scolded her with a smile, then waved his hand and said, “Why don't you go back first? I guarantee the emerald seal will be delivered to you in an hour.”

Juliana narrowed her eyes at him. After a moment of silence, she suddenly laughed. “Mr. Raymond, I have good faith in your integrity. All right, I'll go back first. Don't forget to send the emerald seal to my residence. Master doesn't have much time.”

After she finished speaking, she turned around and walked toward the door. However, she stopped suddenly after taking two steps.

“Oh, by the way, Mr. Raymond, don't you ever think of fooling me with a fake emerald seal. Master has already taught me how to identify the real one.”

In the bedroom of the Saunders residence, Vincent was leaning against the bed and coughing violently.

Victoria said anxiously from the side, “Please lie down and rest. It's better not to toss about.”

Vincent waved his hand and said intermittently, “Vicky, I have a wish yet to be fulfilled. Before I die, can you please grant this last wish for your father?”

Victoria lowered her head slightly as her eyes fell on her flat belly. She seemed to have guessed what her father's wish was.

She couldn't help but ask herself if she could even say no.

She and Lionel had so many heartbroken memories. Is it the right choice for us to be forced together again?

“Okay, tell me what it is first. Let me see if I can do it for you.”

Vincent's eyes also fell on her belly, and a look of pity flashed across his eyes.

“I don't want you to spend your whole life guarding a child alone. Lionel knows he's wrong, and he also admitted his mistake in front of me. Please forgive him. Even if you don't think about others, you should think about the child in your belly.”

Victoria's lips curled into a bitter smile.

She knew what her father wanted to say. What else could it be in his last words except for her marriage?

“Dad, does it mean that if I agree to marry Lionel, you can rest in peace?”

Vincent suddenly felt sorry for Victoria.

He really shouldn't force his daughter this way.

However, he felt distressed whenever he thought of how the mother and daughter duo would be left all alone and helpless in the future.

The more he thought about it, the more hard-hearted he became.

“Yes, if you marry Lionel, I will rest in peace. When I meet your mother later in the afterlife, and she asks about you, I can at least reassure her that you will be fine.”

“Okay.” Victoria didn't hesitate for long before she agreed. “Lionel and I will go and register our marriage as you wish. We will live a good life together.”

Vincent breathed a sigh of relief as if a weight had finally lifted off his chest.

“Great! I will be more than happy if I can see you and Lionel register your marriage at the City Hall before I close my eyes for good.”

Victoria did not answer to that.

Meanwhile, in a bedroom at the Luther residence, Bailey was on a video call while leaning against the floor-to-ceiling window.

Ever since Bailey decided to keep the child in her womb, she had moved in with Artemis into the Luther residence.

“What, you have successfully obtained the emerald seal? How did you get it?”

“Master, please stop probing. You just need to know that I've successfully obtained the emerald seal to solve your immediate plight. Are you sure this emerald is genuine? If it is genuine, then I will book a jet to send it back to Hallsbay.”

Bailey didn't feel relieved at all. Even after getting her hands on the red emerald, she didn't feel the slightest excitement in her heart.

Raymond was greedy and a conspirator who only wanted to maximize his profits. If he was willing to hand over the emerald seal, it must mean that he had gotten what he wanted from Juliana.

As for what it was, Bailey hadn't had a clue unless Juliana told her about it. It seemed that she would need to activate her forces over there to find out.

“Master, I'm talking to you. Is this emerald real or fake? I hope it's not a fake one. Otherwise, you'll be in trouble.”
