Chapter 383

But it's not surprising, when you had enough money, you simply could

know a lot of things. It's not really a big deal.

"I asked a friend to look it up, and I'm sorry I didn't ask you beforehand.

I was afraid ... you wouldn't tell me." Justin said softly, with an

apologetic voice.

"Huh." Joyce half-sneered, "I am willing or not. You still find me, don't

you? What's the difference whether I tell you or not?"

“I ..." Justin's handsome face was slightly red and a little embarrassed.

Joyce had changed. She was colder, more detached yet more

charming than before.

Once upon a time she was only aloof and not easily approachable, and

now she was even prohibitive.

But the more she did, the deeper he fell, unable to extricate himself.

"Joyce, I would have liked to talk to you properly. Unfortunately, it's too

late today." Justin walked forward and took Joyce's arm, “Now, the

whole town knows about us. Can you give me one more chance to take

care of you?"

Under the moonlight, his handsome face looked extraordinarily sincere.

"Joyce, the mistakes I made in the past have caused me a lot of regret.

I know that you had suffered a lot in those two years. Now that I'm

finally on my feet, I just want to do everything I can to make it up to you

and never let you suffer a bit again.”

His voice was clear and pleasant, which just came to her ears with the

night breeze.

Joyce was shaken for a moment as she looked into his gentle, watery

eyes, "Justin, I'm so glad to see you back to your old self. You've

regained your confidence, and it's worth the effort I've put into you."

She sighed quietly, "But, I really don't deserve you. Wouldn't it be better

if you went and found a better girl, worthy of your family background?

Don't you come again. We better just wait for this incident to die down,

wait for me to fade out of the public eye, and then we'll have nothing to

do with each other.”

Her words did not leave him any chance.

Justin's heart was broken.

"Worthy of my family background?" Justin smiled bitterly, "Joyce, don't

you know me? I've never thought about that. Under the whole sky,

you're the best girl. Don't you worry, I can withstand the pressure from

the Henderson family. I've convinced my parents that they want to meet

you. Look, is this weekend okay?"

Joyce looked faintly at Justin. There was one thing unchanged about

him - he always naively thought that his parents would accept her.

More than two years ago, he said the same thing, that his parents

wanted to meet her.

But what happened after the meeting?

She hadn't told him to this day. His parents gave her endless

humiliation and ridicule.

In this moment, her mind drifted back to that scene in the past.

"Joyce, I really underestimated you! Is this your way of gaining Justin's

trust? You want to climb the ladder up to our family? You want to be

with him, and you're worthy of his love as an orphan?"

"Joyce," Justin called out softly when he saw her wander off, "Meet my

parents this weekend, okay?"

Joyce snapped out of her memories and coldly refused, "No, I don't

want to meet them."

She didn't have to, to take another humiliation.

This time, in their eyes, she was not only an orphan girl, but also a

divorced woman.

"Justin, it's getting late, go back, I'm going upstairs."

After saying that, she didn't look at Justin's lonely and desolate figure

again, turned around and walked straight into the apartment.

As she walked, she took out her phone and edited a text message to

Luther.

“Tomorrow morning at nine o'clock, bring your ID card and meet me in

the court.”

It's time to put an end to it all.
