Chapter 457

For her absolute accuracy with her shots.

She didn’t need anyone, and she could ascend to the glory by herself.

The night before the final.

Justin asked her out.

She thought to herself that she couldn't avoid it, and that she should

make it clear to him that she didn't have love for him, but only saw him

as a friend. It was something that was not going to change. He should

go back and inherit the Henderson Group instead of wasting his time

on her.

However, none of them expected it.

It was this one meeting that changed everything that followed.

The venue of the Riverport World Championship was built somewhere

halfway up a hill far away from the center of the city. It had a large open

area behind the venue, attached to a cliff halfway up the hill, because it

was also used for multi-directional flying disc competitions. Apparently,

it was quite dangerous, and there was a long fence surrounding the

area and usually no one went there.

She did not expect that she would be targeted just after she arrived at

the back of the mountain. Two men in black, with knives in their hands,

stopped her way. She was unprepared and did not bring anything to

defend herself, and was chased by the men in black all the way to near

the cliff.

At this moment, Justin got there just in time. He chased those thugs

away, but before that, she was forced to retreat by the men in black and

was already hanging on the edge of the cliff. In order to save her, he

pulled her up with all his might, but he was hit by those thugs and

slipped off the cliff. Eventually, those thugs retreated in a hurry.

There was a protective net below the cliff, Justin survived, but

unfortunately his legs hit the boulders protruding from the cliff and were

seriously injured.

The hospital near the competition site was not equipped for

professional first aid, and when Justin was rescued, he had to be taken

far away to the capital for emergency surgery.

The final was the next day, and she had no choice but to give up the

finally and accompany Justin in the ambulance.

But even so, after the surgery, Justin wasn't able to stand up.

And it was only then that she learned.

Before she met with Justin, he had already broken up with the

Henderson family.

Because of her, because Justin insisted on not marrying her, he had a

quarrel with Garrett, and Justin was so furious that he left the

Henderson family.

However, at this time, Justin fell off a cliff to save her and broke both

legs.

After the incident, the World Shooting Championships committee

claimed that the assailant was Joyce's competition rival, the shooting

star from Mufron. They said he was jealous of Joyce's talent, so he

hired someone to hurt Joyce, intended to prevent Joyce from

participating in the final.

In the end, the Mufron shooter who hired someone to hurt Joyce was

stripped of his gold medal and sentenced to three years in prison,

receiving the punishment she deserved.

However, Justin had never been able to stand up again.

After returning home, Justin was devastated by the double blow, and

she never returned to the shooting camp because she felt guilty and

was afraid he would be hurt by the situation.

After that, she rented an apartment, worked half-time, and studied half-

time, taking care of Justin and raising money for his surgery, hoping

that one day she could cure his legs and get him back on his feet.

"Joyce," Justin called out softly.

His voice woke Joyce up from the memories of the past.

She looked up blankly, her eyes fixed on him.

She thought that the pain was behind her.

Could it be that, in the past, there was something else that she did not

know?
