You Hit My Heart (Joyce and Luther) novel Chapter 218

"Originally, grandma left you 1% of the shares, which is already astronomical, and you will have an inexhaustible amount of glory and prosperity. This is what I expected. Grandma wanted to leave you enough wealth as a gift for your saving her life. But for Grandma giving all 10% of the shares to you is beyond my comprehension, not only for the money but for the right to control the R&S Group." Luther said.

"So, you think that I tampered with the will?" Joyce's cold and beautiful face revealed a cold smile.

Her heart suddenly felt cold, and she felt a chill running from head to toe.

What exactly was she expecting? From the very beginning, he decided that she had deliberately approached her grandmother, deliberately approached him, climbed the ladder of power, and in his eyes, she had always been a woman who would do anything for money and for benefits.

And now, she was even more speechless. Before she died, her grandmother inexplicably gave her all the shares Jacqueline and Shelly were entitled to, without even leaving a word of explanation, and then passed away.

She was left alone to face everything.

"I didn't say that." Luther shook his head. In fact, he didn't think Joyce would tamper with the will and kill his grandmother. He had a general understanding of the entire incident, although the timing of the surveillance, as well as the evidence at the scene, were against Joyce.

But with Joyce's intelligence, there was no need to put herself into such trouble if she really wanted to do so, and the police may easily find the traces. She could have avoided it all clearly. There was no need for her to get his grandmother's inheritance in this way.

Moreover, Aaron had already been to the Second Precinct of the Police Department. According to Officer Karl, the handwriting of the will had been analyzed by the most authoritative graph analysis agency in the country, which had confirmed that it was indeed modified by Stephanie herself.

Stephanie's move was, well, puzzling.

"Joyce, are you willing to give up the other 9% of the shares you inherited?" Luther suddenly asked. The 9% shares would make Joyce the target of all. The pressure was not only from Jacqueline and Shelly, but also from within the R&S Group, a group of cunning old foxes on the board of directors, all of whom were very difficult to deal with.

Joyce looked grave and thought for a moment.

She shook her head, "I will not give up my inheritance."

Although, she didn't understand why Stephanie did it. However, since Stephanie had tried her best to amend her will before she died, she must have had an intention.

She had a feeling of being in danger, and since it was a trust from her grandmother with her life, she must not fail.

"I will not give up the inheritance." She repeated seriously.

It was also like an affirmation to herself. She had done nothing wrong, she would never give in.

Luther’s face turned gloomy, his handsome eyebrows tightly tangled up. Originally he did not want Joyce to be caught in the whirlpool of power and involved in more trouble. It was already at the tip of the storm, and now it's even worse.

To his surprise, Joyce was unwilling to give up.

"Whatever you think. Maybe one day in the future, I will return Grandma's shares to you. But never now." Joyce stood up coldly.

She added in her mind, "Unless the death of Grandma comes to light, I will return the full 10% and will not take a single cent.

But she would not tell what was on her mind to Luther. She just didn’t care if Luther thought she did not want to let go of the wealth and power.

She just wanted to find out the truth and find the real culprit, so Grandma could leave in peace!
