Chapter 366

Joyce wrapped her arms around herself, her nails sinking deep into her

skin as she tried desperately to restrain herself.

Luther noticed something strange about her and came to sit beside her,

but when he reached out to wrap his arms around her ...

She refused.

She moved to the side, not wanting to get too close to him.

"What's wrong?" Luther frowned, she was fine this morning, what was

wrong with her again?

"Unhappy because of the internet comment thing?" He asked

tentatively, but she didn't answer. He then asked directly, "I've already

taken care of the comments, and it will soon be calmed down. Don't

worry, I'll fix it all."

Fix it all? Joyce sneered at the bottom of her heart. His solution was to

marry a warlord's daughter to for their power and then keep her by his

side as an unseen mistress? To satisfy his personal desires? So he

could use her shares, and her abilities?

He could certainly fix it all, huh?

“I'm not upset, you're overthinking it." Joyce perfumed.

"Come here." He insisted on pulling her into his arms, and with a gentle

hug, he sat her on his lap, “There is still some time before the banquet

begins. No one will come in the room. Shall we do something?"

The words were full of ambiguity.

They were so close. Her perfect face was now just in front him without

any gaps.

Her skin was tinged with red, just like the sunset reflected by the snow,

and the light from her crystal bright eyes was like that of the moon

shooting at a winter river.

The simple white dress with cold tone sapphire perfectly accentuated

her cool and lonely temperament, which had a fatal attraction to him.

He couldn't help but bend his head and kissed her lightly on her red

lips, and when he saw that she didn't resist, he gradually deepened the

kiss.

The more they kissed, the more they found it hard to stop. He even felt

his body having reaction, and should the time allow him, he would

really want to have her here.

She did not move. No resistance, no expression, her heart was like

completely cold, and no matter what he did, he just could not warm her

heart up again.

Suddenly, she felt bad in her chest and finally could not resist the

vomiting reaction. She violently pushed him away, and bent over to

cover her lips for her dry heaving.

He gasped and let go of her, "What's wrong, what's wrong?"

He felt strange inside his heart. She would not really averse to his kiss

so much that she wanted to vomit? He had always felt she was a bit

strange today, but he did not know what exactly happened. She was

unusually calm and restrained, and she seemed more indifferent and

detached than usual.

She tried to restrain herself, not wanting him to see the difference for

the time being, "It's okay, my stomach is still a little upset, I'll be fine

after two more days of medication.”

“Let Jamie take a look at you, still not well from your last stomach

upset?" He was concerned, gently stroking her back.

"No need." She shook her head.

He lifted her up, helped her tidy up her slightly disheveled collar and

long, loose hair, and straightened her sapphire necklace.

Then he raised his hand to look at his watch, it was almost time, then

he said softly, “The banquet is about to start, I'll take you there and later

introduced you to the guests, who are all political and business

celebrities.”

Joyce stood up straight away and said back coldly, “I don't need to

know these people.”

She had made up her mind that she would have to go out to stay in a

hotel for the night and move out of his house tomorrow. From now on,

she would focus on her work and find the real murderer who killed

Stephanie, and everything else would be irrelevant to her. They were

not really related to each other, anyway, there was no need for them to

meet in the future.

"Good. You don't like this kind of occasion, just deal with it casually.” He

didn't force it, "Let's go."

Joyce followed Luther and together they walked out of the box and into

the Riveria Haze lobby.

The brightly lit up banquet hall had long been set up and there was

even a high-class performance group playing melodious music. The

sound of violin and piano was reverberating over the hall.
