You Hit My Heart (Joyce and Luther) novel Chapter 359

She could not wait to tear Joyce to pieces. But for the time being, she had no choice but to grit her teeth and hold back.

Suddenly, there was a “ding” sound from her cell phone.

Her heartbeat suddenly accelerated and she secretly moved her phone aside and glanced at it.

It was a message from Tina, "Joyce is already next door. I'm leaving now."

"Good." Charlotte replied to the message.

She took a deep breath to calm her indignation.

In fact, she bribed Tina, the designer responsible for fitting Joyce's clothes today, and asked her to find an excuse to bring Joyce the box next to where they were meeting. The soundproofing was just average and, not surprisingly, Joyce could definitely faintly hear them talking.

Fortunately, probably Joyce did not hear what Luther said just now.

Next, she had to carry on with the acting.

She feigned disorientation and stood up, "I'm sorry, I didn't expect to cause so much trouble for everyone. It's all my fault, I …"

She pretended she couldn't go on, choking on a sob.

Jacqueline finally pressed on and came out to round things up.

"Don't listen to his nonsense. He did it on impulse. Luther and Joyce were only married under false pretenses, after Stephanie became ill with terminal lung cancer, and he did it only to make her happy. He has always been a good boy. I will talk to him later."

"I heard that Stephanie left half of her shares to Joyce, and it seems that Stephanie is very happy with Joyce." Cecelia suddenly snapped.

Stephanie was murdered and the Warner family got into almost a war for those shares left behind, which she was naturally aware of.

She also understood why Jacqueline was anxious to get rid of Joyce. Except for the marriage with the Heath family, it was more for Jacqueline's own sake, so that she could get the shares back.

The prerequisite for taking back the shares was to break up Joyce and Luther.

Cecelia was not stupid; she didn’t want her daughter to get involved in a property dispute in the Warner family. It's just that her daughter was obsessed of Luther.

Charlotte caught a glimpse of the door at this time, which was now opened slightly, and she knew that it must be Joyce who heard a commotion in the next room and came over to see what was going on.

She was about to speak.

Unexpectedly, Luther suddenly said, "Joyce owns 10% of the R&S Group, which you understand is astronomical, and there is no way I can let her leave my side. Moreover, she has amazing talents and can create huge benefits for the group."

He didn't want Joyce to be a target, and he didn't want to admit to them explicitly that he had already fallen in love with Joyce. He didn't want them to go after Joyce later. That's why he said that.

But for Charlotte.

She knew that Joyce must have heard Luther at that moment, and she felt a surge of ecstasy within her heart.

Joyce was such a proud woman. How could she tolerate Luther keeping her around only because of her shares and because he wanted to use her talents?

To get things going in the direction she wanted them to go. Her time had come.

She threw herself on her knees.

With a forlorn look and teardrops sliding down in bunches, she cried, "I'm sorry, it's all my fault. Put everyone in a difficult position."

Lips bitten almost white, she seemed to have made up her mind, "I don’t want anything. I have heard that in many powerful and noble families, after the men marries their wives, they would take their lovers abroad to get a license, which sounds just alright to me…"

She lowered her head, pretending not to dare to look up, but in fact, she had always stared at the doorway out of the corner of her eyes.

By the doorway, she could even see the corner of Joyce's shoes.

Then the corner of the shoe was gone and the door was closed.

She sneered inside her heart, and her lips curled in a triumphant arc.

“Joyce, you finally can't bear it anymore?”

“Just no matter how we humiliate you or even kill you, you can't allow such a thing to happen, I know you too well!”
