Chapter 1728: A Grand Display

Chapter 1728: A Grand Display

Surrounded by a crowd of journalists, Joyce walked out of the cafe's

entrance.

Although the reporters encircled her, none of them dared to get too

close. After all, her identity was there, and she couldn't be compared to

a celebrity.

Joyce didn't answer; instead, a mysterious smile played on her lips.

The reporters were unwilling to give up and continued to ask questions.

"Young Marshal, can you answer? How is your relationship with Mr.

Warner now? Will your marriage be affected?”

"Mrs. Warner, as you hold shares in R&S Group, if you were to

separate, would it cause a drastic fluctuation in stock prices?"

"Young Marshal, Mr. Warner has not appeared or made a statement

yet. Could there be any misunderstandings?"

"May I ask, how would you evaluate the woman who left just now?"

Joyce nodded in acknowledgment to the reporters, continuing to walk

away.

It was only when she reached the open space in front of the main

entrance that two columns of soldiers in warlord uniforms jogged

forward. Darrin, unusually dressed in formal military green uniform,

stepped forward. The insignia of a junior staff officer shone brightly.

The grand display of military personnel made the reporters tremble with

awe, quickly splitting into two sides and not daring to act recklessly.

Darrin approached Joyce and saluted, "Young Marshal, it's time for us

to go back.”

Joyce nodded, glancing back for a moment. She speculated that

Athena was probably hiding behind a nearby tree, secretly observing.

She smiled contentedly.

Then, Joyce cleared her throat and began to explain to the reporters,

"Since you all came here today, I will state my position.”

The reporters eagerly awaited, their cameras clicking non-stop,

capturing every moment.

Joyce spoke solemnly, “Firstly, it is a fact that a third party has

attempted to intervene in our marriage. As previously reported and

witnessed just now. Secondly, there are no cracks in the marriage

between me and Luther; itis solely the unilateral wish of the third party.

Finally, I want to say that no matter what happens, I will defend my

marriage and drive away the third party. Please wait and see.”

Joyce knew that some were broadcasting live from the scene.

She chose to speak clearly and directly, leaving no room for Athena to

maneuver. This was the result she desired.

If Athena thought that she would easily give up Luther or cry after being

abandoned, she was gravely mistaken.

After finishing her statement, Joyce's lips bloomed with a stunning

smile.

Confident, beautiful, graceful, and elegant, combined with her heroic

bearing, her flowing hair dancing in the breeze, she looked absolutely

gorgeous in front of the cameras.

The reporters erupted in applause almost simultaneously. Joyce's

image was exactly what they had imagined a young marshal should be

like.

After the applause subsided, reporters expressed their own doubts.

"Young Marshal, this only represents your own opinion. Are you sure

Mr. Warner hasn't committed any infidelity? How would you respond if

Mr. Warner wholeheartedly wants a divorce?"

"Yes, Young Marshal. We admire your courage, but could you please

tell us in detail about your plans? How would you handle it if Mr. Warner

insists on ending your relationship?"

Darrin, feeling displeased, was about to step forward and drive away

the reporters.

Joyce extended her hand to stop him.

She smiled and looked at the two reporters who had asked the

questions.

"Since you addressed me as Young Marshal, don't you know that

Luther and I are in a military marriage? Unless I agree, we cannot get a

divorce. From the moment I put on the uniform of a young marshal, our

marriage has been protected by the law."

The reporters were momentarily stunned, then slapped their foreheads

in realization. "Oh, right, how could we forget? Sorry, Young Marshal!"

Finally, Joyce finished answering the reporters’ questions.

She nodded with a smile as a sign of acknowledgment.

At this moment, Darrin approached her. He greeted her, and they

walked together. He escorted her to a dedicated military vehicle,

followed by dozens of military vehicles lined up in a grand and majestic

formation.

After several loud engine roars, the line of vehicles departed, creating a

magnificent scene.

Athena, hiding behind a tree at a distance, observed everything clearly.

She was furious, and anger couldn't describe her current mood. She

had never felt so stifled before.

From childhood to adulthood, she believed that no one was more

beautiful than her.

She had to admit that Joyce was truly beautiful, with a unique and

captivating charm. No wonder Luther was infatuated with her.

But she would never admit defeat, nor would she retreat.

Luther originally belonged to her, and he always had. From the moment

she laid eyes on him, she vowed to have this man. There was nothing

in this world she couldn't obtain. Power, money, men-it was all the

same!

Just now, Joyce had put on a grand display, clearly trying to assert her

dominance over her.

And she could only hide and observe from a distance, which made her

extremely frustrated. It felt like she was hiding in a dark corner, unable

to bear the sunlight.

Damn it.

The more she thought about it, the angrier she became. She angrily

punched the tree trunk in front of her. Her delicate fingers got scraped,

but she didn't feel the pain.

Suddenly, as if venting her frustrations, she tore the divorce agreement

in her hand to shreds. Damn it, damn it, damn it! She cursed

repeatedly. She completely ignored the fact that Luther and Joyce were

in a military marriage. It seemed that as long as Joyce didn't agree,

they couldn't get a divorce!

She felt like she was going mad.

Joyce! Since you won't divorce, then I'll have to kill you!

She fiercely kicked the tree in front of her, causing leaves to rustle and

flutter in the wind.

Rage consumed her. Now, all she wanted was to kill Joyce!

Meanwhile, Luther was still in the hospital room, holding Alisha in his

arms.

He knew that Athena would definitely go to find Joyce to sign the

divorce papers. Throughout the day, he had been anxious and

uncertain.

It was only when he saw the breaking news that a relaxed and relieved

smile appeared on his lips.

Joyce, she really did it. She lived up to his expectations and proved

herself. She was capable, courageous, and extraordinary. She had

always been like a shining star, illuminating his world. Captivating him,

making him unable to resist.

Not only did she refuse to sign the papers, but she also announced to

the whole city that she would defend her marriage.

Moreover, she had an excellent reason.

Yes, how could he forget? In a military marriage like theirs, if one party

unilaterally requested a divorce, even if he had signed the papers, it

would have no effect. Heh, Athena's plan had gone completely wrong!

Now, it was up to him. He was planning a comprehensive plan to

rescue Alisha.

Once successful, he could reunite with Joyce immediately.
