Chapter 11
You Hit My Heart
Joyce dragged her trolley case, panting as she climbed the hill, looking
down at her phone's location every now and then.
No. 1 Sophora Street.
She didn't realize that Luther's house was halfway up the hill, and most
importantly, there was no bus that could take her there!
Rich people really do like to live in the mountains.
She was literally walking on two broken legs.
She should have let his driver pick it up.
After quite some hard work, she climbed halfway up the mountain, and
finally, she saw the mansion gate, which was surprisingly at the end of
the road. Did he just own all the rest of the mountain?
When the big iron door slowly opened, Joyce was dumbfounded.
Inside, boulevards, neat lawns, shaped flowers, and fountain sculptures
stretch on and on.
Very far away! An imposing golden European-style building stood on
the hillside, shining dazzlingly in the setting sunlight.
Infinity, that's about it.
Joyce was almost crawling when she finally reached the door of the
main house.
She was panting against the Roman columns in front of the door.
Mr. Arnold opened the door and made a respectful âpleaseâ gesture,
âYoung lady, please come inside."
Although Mr. Arnold tried to hide it very well, Joyce could still feel the
contempt and disdain in his eyes.
She knew she looked a mess now, with her clothes soaking wet and
one of her suitcase wheels falling off.
But she didn't even have the strength to speak.
Joyce followed Mr. Arnold into the living room.
Inside the decor was even more beyond her imagination - crystal
chandeliers more than ten meters high, and walls plastered with
marble.
On the luxurious revolving staircase, slowly walked a noblewoman, with
a fashionable pearl necklace.
Jacqueline Mullen glanced at Joyce with disdain, who was wearing
white sneakers, an apparently cheap t-shirt, and dragging a worn-out
trolley case.
"Mr. Arnold, where did the beggar come from, and you just led her to
the house?
As they speak, another person ran down the stairs and was surprised
to see Joyce.
"Joyce? How is it? You are the wife of my brother?"
"Mom, how dare brother let this kind of person be my sister-in-law? I
don't want it! I object!"
Shelly Warner almost shouted.
Jacqueline and Shelly don't usually live in the main house, which was
where Grandma and Luther lived. They both lived in the penthouse,
one of the busiest places downtown, and tonight they were here all for
Luther's new bride.
Joyce was also surprised. Shelly was in her college class, and she
knew very well that Shelly had always looked at her unfavorably.
Little did she know that Shelly would be Luther's sister.
Shelly hated Joyce the most, and when Joyce was nearing the end of
her sophomore year, she skipped a year to get into their department.
Some time ago Joyce was again trusted by Professor Owens to enter
the automotive design internship program based on her academic
excellence.
She couldn't even get in herself.
Why? She's the daughter of the Warner family, the richest family in
Khebury, and she couldn't compete with Joyce in a project that her
family had invested in?
It's too much!
Now Joyce wants to be her sister-in-law and be head and shoulders
above her, how could she bear her anger?
At that moment, Luther just came home.
Jacqueline immediately came forward and advised, âLuther, you always
knew your business. The Warner family has a lot of money, so how can
you just get a license recklessly?"
Although he was her son, she was afraid of him from the bottom of her
heart. From the age of five, she could not control him.
âThat is right. Brother, hurry up and end this hilarious marriage. Why
should Joyce share our family assets." Shelly echoed, "You can get rid
of a woman like her if you just give her some money."
Joyce couldn't resist interrupting.
"Can I have your attention?"
Jacqueline and Shelly looked at her at the same time.
"Don't worry about the property, I signed a waiver of property.â Joyce
spread her hands, except for 800,000, she didn't want any of it.
After a moment's froth, Jacqueline suddenly spoke, âEven so, Luther,
you're married."10000
