Chapter 456

He threw all his worries to the winds. Sooner or later she was going to

know the truth.

Why not just tell her everything today?

Joyce heard what he said, and her beautiful eyes were now flooded

with ripples. It was something that she had never expected.

"An internal fight within the Henderson family?" She asked suspiciously,

"How is that possible?"

There was a trance in front of his eyes, and his mind seemed to flash

back to the years...

Three years ago, when the World Shooting Championships were held

in Riverport, the best players from all over the world came to participate

in the event.

She and Justin met during a training session before the World Shooting

Championships. He knew that she had won the National 10m Air Pistol

Competition Junior Cup and came to the training venue to take a

picture with her.

She readily agreed, and the two became acquainted.

The Henderson family, the biggest sponsor of the World Shooting

Championships, gave Justin free access to the pre-tournament training

facility. He got her cell phone number from somewhere and contacted

her privately on a daily basis, sending her meals, all kinds of shooting

equipment, and household items, so it was obvious to everyone that he

was madly pursuing her.

But she was too young to think about his intentions, and only thought of

him as a friend.

Unsophisticated, it never occurred to her that they were actually from

two worlds.

She raised her eyes slowly, and saw the man who was sitting right in

front of herself. The gentle tone of the colors and the clear eyes on the

handsome face were like a beam of light from above the cloud. Even if

it was just a glimpse, she was shocked by the unworldly elegance of

this man.

At that moment, Joyce seemed to have gone back in time, as if she just

met Justin for the first time.

How wonderful life would be if they just met for the first time.

She still remembered he came to see her at the tournament and they

both had so much fun when they had time. She was so focused on her

training that she often practiced alone late into the night because she

could not find a partner for her training, and with his occasional

company, she did not feel lonely. How simple and innocent she was

back then...

She didn't know that Justin was the son of the Henderson family, a man

born with a golden spoon. She also didn't know that he was an elegant

nobleman who was sought after by many girls in the upper class.

Just day after day, simple and pure.

Until one day, Justin's father, Garrett, approached her privately behind

Justin's back.

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

trust? You want to climb the ladder into my family? You want to be with

him, and you think you're worthy of what you want?"

It had to be admitted that at that time, she did get hurt.

She didn't tell Justin about it.

She would just bear the pain alone. Since that day, she realized that

the gap between them was so big.

Some people, they just could not even be your friends.

After that, she consciously avoided Justin, stayed away from him, and

tried to show him as much coldness as possible.

But Justin wouldn't give up and chased after her, even all the way to

Riverport, where the World Shooting Championships were held.

She was not easily affected by external factors, and those who were

good at shooting all knew how to control their emotions, and her

emotions rarely fluctuated. She was not affected by this incident, but

played more steadily, leading all the way in the preliminaries, and finally

got into the finals, not by a slim margin, but by an absolute advantage

of eight rings.

Standing on the podium, she saw Justin's excited and uplifting figure.

She also knew that Justin was charmed by her valiant heroic posture.

Everyone knew that she would definitely be the winner of this year.
