Chapter 12

Married?

This time it was Joyce's turn to be surprised.

She didn't like the idea of being a third party in a fake marriage.

Luther, still indifferent as ever, snorted lightly, “You don't mean, the

marriage contract with the Heath family?"

Jacqueline nodded repeatedly, “That's right, that year our family and

Cecelia Hurley really agreed that the eldest son and daughter will be

married later."

"But the daughter of the Heath family has been missing since she was

a child, and the Heath family is known all over the world for not being

able to find her," Shelly interrupted.

"The Heath family is really going to find their daughter this time. They

have already got some clues they say." Jacqueline said to Luther

cautiously, "Luther, although our Warner family can be rich. After all, it

was only business we deal with. The Heath family from the capital have

firmly controlled the military power for a hundred years. You should

understand the importance of this marriage. Marriage is not to be taken

lightly?"

"Wow, a daughter of the Heath family, even nobler than a real noble."

Shelly looked really envious this time. The Heath family was only

second to the royal family when it came to power. It was no

exaggeration to say the daughter of the Heath family was almost a

princess.

Luther was just about to speak.

Joyce snaps, "I'm sorry, I didn't know Luther has a marriage contract. If

you want me to do anything about it, just say it."

Marriage between these two families, so they could have both wealth

and power each. Were they planning to conquer the world? How could

she just stand in their way?

Luther plucked out a livid look at Joyce.

When she heard Joyce's words, Shelly finally saw the opportunity to do

something. She immediately stepped forward and took Luther's arm

affectionately, "Brother, you should hurry up and divorce Joyce.

Professor Owens’ project was invested by our family. No wonder she

could get in, it was because of you, right? Brother, you have to help me

get her out of this program.”

"Ahem, you don't mean Professor Owens’ automotive design program?

I got in that program myself."

Joyce couldn't resist interrupting and correcting her.

This fake marriage and how she got into the program were two different

things.

"Stop it, who do you want me to blame for your not being good enough

to get in?" Anyway, Luther still loved his sister.

And that was why Shelly was always a bit arrogant.

However, Luther knew that Professor Owens was an old-fashioned

scholar who was so dedicated to academics and would not do such a

thing for money. Moreover, this vehicle design project led by Professor

Owens was very important to R&S Group. For the company, it was

nothing less than a key to the whole global market.

He didn't realize Joyce could be part of the project.

There were just more and more interesting sides he could find from this

Joyce.

He just could not imagine how Joyce could be so good at academics.

"Brother!" Shelly was so angry that she stomped her foot. How could

she stay in school after this?

“Luther, hurry up and get a divorce. You cannot hide it, and there will be

more trouble if the media finds out." Jacqueline worried.

“You are leading a wolf into the house. You won't be able to even get

rid of her if you want to in the future. Brother, don't be fooled by her."

"Shut up, all of you!"

They were all interrupted by the voice of an old lady. Despite the traces

age had left on it, its former majesty was still undiminished.

At the end of the living room, an old lady walked slowly over with a

cane.

Although her hair was already silver-white, her face full of wrinkles,

Joyce could still see the grave fortitude in her heroic youth and imagine

the stunning beauty she had when she was young.

"Grandma, why are you out." Luther rushed forward to hold her. He just

loved his grandma so much.

On the contrary, he did not much of a feeling for his biological mother

Jacqueline.

“I'm not dead yet. What, already thinking about dividing up the

property?" Stephanie Chapman gave Jacqueline a fierce glare.

“Mom, I didn't mean it like that." Jacqueline lost her breath at once.

“I heard it all. Joyce is my granddaughter-in-law. If you don't want to

share the family with her, just don't forget I still have some shares!"

Stephanie raised her voice, exasperated.

Joyce saw Stephanie's face turn livid, so she went forward and said

gently, "Grandma, you don't look well, please don’t be angry. You must

take care of yourself."

Stephanie held Joyce's hand, looked at her kindly, and smiled with

satisfaction, "You can stay here with no worries. With me here, no one

dares to do anything to you."

"Yes, yes, yes." Joyce nodded awkwardly.

She grew up without a family, but Stephanie gave her a sense of

kinship. She felt moved by her love.

When she first agreed to the fake marriage, she simply hoped that

Stephanie could have no regrets in this life.

Jacqueline did not dare to say anything. Her mother-in-law Stephanie

was one of the founders of the Warner family and owned ten times

more shares than she did.

“You guys! Are you all hoping for my early death?!"

Stephanie stomped her cane hard and pointed angrily at Jacqueline,

who was just about to speak. However, Stephanie's face suddenly

turned pale and she fell upright to the ground.J0000000000
