You Hit My Heart (Joyce and Luther) novel Chapter 262

Karl thought about it a moment and returned, "I do remember. She drugged you and hired someone else to molest you. This case was later transferred to another officer, and I was not involved throughout. What's wrong? Is there a problem?" His instinct told him that Joyce was asking this question for an unusual reason.

"Maybe. I met Lauren at the detention center and talked to her." Joyce thought about it, "I have no proof, just a feeling alone. Even if it was really Lauren who drugged me, she wasn't capable of planning seamlessly to hire someone else to molest me. It always felt like a mismatch, something wasn't right."

Karl narrowed his eyes and remembered that Officer Longman had withdrawn the case.

At the time, he didn't pay much attention to it because it was not a serious case. He also could not do every case personally.

"I got it. I'll check it out." He said seriously.

"Another thing, in the detention center, a female prison guard named Georgia once took me to the interrogation dark room in the middle of the night in private and whipped me." Joyce gave a brief statement of what happened that night.

"How can there be such a thing?! It's so dark!" Juanita slapped the table in anger, "Why didn't you tell me, it must have hurt, are you okay now?"

"Well, the wound is scabbed over, it's okay."

Karl's handsome brow furrowed and his eyes narrowed.

"The most crucial thing, I heard, Georgia disappeared the day before yesterday!" Joyce said squarely.

"Missing?" Karl froze, "A prison guard in a management position, missing? This is no longer an ordinary criminal case."

He realized the seriousness of the problem.

He reminded, "Joyce, things are not normal. You have to be careful. I'll go back to the police station and find out what's going on."

Joyce nodded, and that's what Christian reminded her of earlier.

"Better put a location system in your phone. Just in case." Karl suggested.

"Okay, I'll do it tomorrow." Joyce nodded, "Okay, enough about me, let's all eat."

Karl waved his hand, "I have to go back to the police station, it's urgent and cannot be delayed."

He raised his hand and looked at his watch, "It's not safe at night, do you want me to drive you home?"

Joyce shook her head with a light smile, "No, thank you. Someone will pick me up later."

"That's fine. Be safe yourself." He looked at Joyce worriedly, always feeling uneasy. Things could be tricky with the hand behind the scene, and its power and ability exceeded his prediction.

He had absolutely no idea what they were going to do next.

Inside the box, the warm yellow light was softly sprinkled all over.

And he could see Joyce's stunning side face, rising eyebrows, watery eyes, high nose, and soft lips… Her every smile, every turn of her head, and even every breath, seemed to have a fatal attraction.

Karl didn't even dare to look at it again, and looked away in embarrassment.

He cleared his throat, "I'm going, and feel free to contact me if something comes up."

With that, he strode away.

Juanita looked at Karl's complicated expression and suddenly felt a little stuffy inside, unable to breathe.

Could it be that Karl was also attracted by Joyce's charm?

She cheekily stood up and trotted after Karl, "I'll see you off."

When she followed him to the elevator entrance, away from the box, Juanita gave a coquettish smile, "I said, wouldn’t Officer Karl want to think about it again. Don't be in a hurry to reject me. You are not married, I am not married. Just right!"
