Chapter 20

"Should I congratulate you?" Justin smirked.

The atmosphere was tense.

Joyce was so nervous that she almost forgot to breathe. What could

she do to ease the situation?

She also knew that no matter how she explained it, it just would not

work. She was afraid that what happened today would be a painful and

fatal blow to Justin. Then all her efforts for a long time, all in vain.

She struggled for a long time, and finally, she chose to drag Luther

away with force, "Please, step aside."

Meanwhile, she did not forget to turn her head to Justin and say,

"Justin, I can explain. You trust me, you wait here for a moment, and I'll

be right back. Don't ever leave!"

Having said that, Joyce dragged Luther around the corner to an

unoccupied spot and was just about to speak.

Luther interrupted coldly, "Last time at the hospital, was it also because

of him?"

Joyce froze, and then she remembered the last time she was in the

hospital, she blocked his lips with her lips to stop him from opening his

mouth for fear that Justin would find out.

She admitted, "Yes."

“You're his fiancée?" Luther had just heard it all.

He glanced at the diamond ring on Joyce's finger out of the corner of

his eye, his expression was awe-inspiring, and the pupils of his eyes

contracted violently.

Joyce noticed his gaze and awkwardly took off the ring and put it in her

pocket. She needed to find the right time to give it back to Justin, but

certainly not right now.

“No, no, it's not that ... I ..." Joyce felt wordless for the first time in her

life, "None of this is the point, the point is that we are not really married,

right? You should talk to Shelly about our relationship, and I'll explain to

Justin."

"No way, Shelly can't hide her words. She knows, and Grandma will

definitely know."

"So ... or you can explain it to Justin." Joyce was really desperate.

In her pleading gaze, there was helplessness, anxiety, and expectation.

It stung him deeply.

In his memory, she was lonely, she was stubborn, and she was cool.

She had never begged him, and now she was begging him for another

man?

"Huh." Luther sneered. Asking him to explain to Justin? It was a joke.

"Joyce, you are quite something. Do you still say you do not climb the

ladder of power and wealth? In fact, you have already messed around

with JAXAH Corporation Bank. Now you can't tell a lie and you want

me to help you?"

“It's not what you think." Joyce just felt burnt out. She held her forehead

with one hand, and she felt exhausted, "We are in a contractual

relationship, and you have no right to interfere in my personal affairs.

Don't you? I'll take care of my business with Justin and make sure it

doesn't affect Grandma.”

“Don't forget that we had an agreement that you and I were not allowed

to have dealings with other men during our marriage.”

She was not just having dealings now. She became the fiancée of

another man.

He clenched his fist and the veins on the back of his hand had also

popped up when he was desperately trying to hold back his anger.

“I promised you? Why don't I remember?" Joyce was very surprised.

How could she have agreed to such a condition?

Luther thought about what happened that night. It was true, Joyce did

fall asleep in the car, so she didn't hear.

But that's no reason for her to cuckold him!

He burst out word by word from his teeth, "If you already have

someone you can get money from, why do you still want to approach

my grandmother?"

She and Justin's past was not something that could be explained in a

few words.

At this point, she was physically and mentally exhausted and unable to

explain.

There must be something wrong with her mind to expect that Luther

might help her.

"Forget it, think what you like, and explain if you want."

The matter had come to an end, so she simply did not care.

Joyce had no time or patience to fight with Luther again.

Turning around, she rushed back to Justin.

But when she ran back to the garden corridor, she could not find Justin!

"Justin, Justin."

A bad feeling crossed her heart and she called out anxiously, looking

around 0000000
