You Hit My Heart (Joyce and Luther) novel Chapter 232

"Charlotte, Charlotte, are you listening?" Shelly shook Charlotte gently, who was already lost in a deep thought.

Charlotte immediately snapped back to her senses, she had lost her manners repeatedly today, she might look suspicious if she just kept it that way, so she hastily answered, "I'm sorry, I was so shocked. It was just mind-exploding."

"Urgh, it was not just you! Mom and I are also shocked and can't even dream of it." Shelly was so angry that she pouted her mouth. She had set Joyce up and gotten herself kicked out of the car design project team. She couldn't bear it any more.

"Auntie, I wonder if there's anything the Heath family can do to help?" Charlotte volunteered to ask.

She thought that Jacqueline and Shelly were not just visiting her today to complain to her.

Jacqueline came and asked if Cecelia was here, so she must have something to ask.

"Ahem." Jacqueline saw Charlotte take the initiative and said directly, "You're on your own, and I have nothing to avoid. I'd like to ask the Heath family to step in and force a marriage."

"Forced marriage?" Charlotte thought she had misheard and repeated.

"Hey. You have no idea, after Stephanie's death, I had a hard time getting a lawyer to draft the divorce papers overnight. And I had specially rushed to the detention center to get Joyce's signature." Jacqueline said, feeling thirsty, so she drank a cup of tea.

Before Jacqueline even continued, she felt her heart hang in her throat, "And Joyce signed it?"

"Yes, Joyce signed it." Shelly said back.

Charlotte was just about to breathe a sigh of relief when she heard Jacqueline, "But Luther didn't sign it!"

Charlotte's heart, all of a sudden, fell to the bottom.

The thing she was most worried about still happened - Luther's attitude towards her was becoming more and more distant, he used to say that he would be responsible, but now he simply shut up about it. He and Joyce spend time together day and night, after all. Had them actually fallen in love?

"That's why I wanted to ask The Heath family to step in and force the marriage. Now is the best time to take advantage of Joyce's arrest. Although she is out on bail, after all, she is a suspect. The media and public opinion are against her, and now she got no reputation, and this is the perfect time for them to get a divorce." Jacqueline was also desperate, "I'm not going to hide it from you, Luther won’t listen to me. But he grew up with a strong personality and is responsible for things. The Heath family may be able to change his mind."

Jacqueline glanced at Charlotte's still-flat belly, "It's just time for him to marry you and your belly is getting big."

Charlotte's watery eyes were slightly averted, and she frowned.

Forced marriage? It would have to be her last resort. What man would be willing to be forced to marry a woman?

She had played such a big game, couldn’t she even get rid of Joyce?

"What do you think?" Shelly asked anxiously.

"I think…" Charlotte said hesitantly, "I'm afraid Luther will have a problem with me."

"It won't be. When the child is born, after all, you two would have this fruit of your love. By then all conflicts will have been resolved." Jacqueline said with relief, "Don't worry, I will help you."

Charlotte sneered inwardly. How could Jacqueline help her? Jacqueline could not even protect themselves. If they could help her in any way, they would not come here to ask her for her help!

Perhaps Jacqueline just wanted the Heath family to force Luther to marry her so that Joyce would leave Luther and they could take back the shares!
