Chapter 1170

On Friday, Joyce was getting ready to leave work.

Luther seemed to have gone out and she hadn't seen him all day. She

had no idea what he was up to or who he went out to see. Anyway, she

had a vague feeling that what he was doing at the moment had

something to do with her.

All the employees in the office were on vacation, and only Kane was

left to revise the program for their new products.

Joyce said to Kane as she packed up her things and left the office, "I'll

go first. You're the only one left in the office, so check the security

system again before you go."

Kane looked up from in front of his computer, "Sis, you're leaving so

early today?"

"Hmm. There's nothing going on anyway, so I'll pick up Anderson from

school early. It's the weekend tomorrow and I plan to take him for a

good time." Joyce said back.

Kane could not help but roll his eyes in his heart. It must have been

because Luther was not here that she did not want to stay in the office

either. She just wanted to meet him. Just now he stole a glance at her

several times, and she looked distracted and she was always looking in

the direction of the door.

"Sis, let me go with you to pick up Anderson.” Kane's eyes were crystal

clear as he suggested.

"No need for that today. You go about your business, I'll go first.” Joyce

smiled and politely declined, "I'll bring Anderson out some day and

have dinner with you."

Kane flattened his mouth. He found her words so perfunctory, and he

was farther and farther away from her now.

"All right." He reluctantly returned.

He hadn't even started declaring war and had already lost completely.

"By the way, sis. I think the military have been watching the media more

closely these past two days." Kane suddenly said.

"What do you mean?" Joyce stopped in her tracks.

"Most likely, Otis’ power grab is not going very well, and he can't get

much support internally and is at odds with other officers. He can only

strengthen the control of external news, and he needs to buy more time

to strengthen his temporary military power.” Kane analyzed, "This just

represents my personal understanding.”

"Understood, thanks." Joyce looked slightly relieved, "That's a good

sign. It means that there are quite a few people who would defy Otis."

“That is for sure. The Heath family have been there for a few hundred

years, and Otis can by no means deal with that easily.” Kane agreed,

"Sis, why? Aren't we and the military just a project partnership?”

"Nothing." Joyce smiled casually, "I'm leaving."

Recently, the days passed calmly day by day.

She didn't know what she could do either and she knew she should not

force anything to happen.

Otherwise, it would only backfire.

The only thing she could do now was to wait.

She walked downstairs to Cloud Bay Tower.

It's still snowing outside, and it hadn't stopped for two or three days,

with flawless white snowflakes falling in droves. The whole world had

turned white, and the snow was like a white carpet.

Suddenly, her cell phone rang.

She thought it was Luther calling her.

When she took out her cell phone, she found that she never saw the

number before.

The silent winter day was quiet everywhere, except for the cell phone

ringing shrilly and clearly.

For no reason, she panicked inside, her chest thumping hard.

Normally, when she received an unfamiliar number, she would not care

at all. But at this particular time, who could it be that was looking for

her?
