Chapter 459

“Yes. My brother Derrick, who was born out of wedlock... His mother

did not marry my father... My mother came from a famous family, and

after I was born, my father naturally made me the heir. For my brother

Derrick, although he did not have to worry about food and clothing, and

they also got him a job in the Henderson Group, my father never

mentioned that he should inherit the family business. My brother, who

had a strong personality since childhood, could not tolerate my father's

bigotry and eventually took the plunge and tried to kill me."

Justin finished, his thin lips pursed, pulling Joyce's hand towards

himself.

"Joyce, I actually owe you a lot. I'm the one who made you suffer. I

want to make up for all of this. Believe me, now I have changed a lot. I

will take care of everything and will never let you suffer half again.” His

sincere eyes, earnestly looking at Joyce, expected to get even just a

hint of response from her eyes.

Joyce recalled at this time, not long ago she saw the news on TV.

“It is reported that the Henderson family bank recently underwent a

major personnel restructuring, the former head of the Henderson family

Derrick retired from his position, and the second son of the Henderson

family would take his place as the CEO."

It seemed that the Henderson family had settled this internal feud, with

Derrick taking a back seat and Justin taking the reins. No wonder,

Justin was moving from the backstage to the front.

"Then how about your leg ...?" Joyce asked and then fell silent once

again. She did not want to know too much about the family affair of the

Henderson family.

Justin saw that she never said anything and continued, "I'm sorry, I

know you've been running around and working to raise money to cure

my leg. It's my fault that I gave up on myself and got discouraged. In

fact, in the past two years, Derrick has been watching our movements.

He knew that you were seeking medical treatment, so he had been

setting up obstacles for you. In fact, my legs had long met the

conditions for surgery, it was him who had been secretly making all the

troubles for you."

"At that time, I suddenly disappeared at St. Maria Hospital, and I knew

that this incident hit you hard and must have hurt you deeply, because I

knew only too well how much work you put into this. I'm sorry, that was

not my intention. At the time, I was kidnapped by Derrick, who didn't

want me to have the surgery, so he sent someone to do that."

Justin simply told her the whole truth all. It had been hard for him to

have this chance to sit down and talk with Joyce.

“You were kidnapped by Derrick?" Joyce whimpered; she could not

have imagined something like that.

She always thought that Justin was angry because he saw her with

Luther and knew that she was "married" to him, so he disappeared on

purpose and refused to have the surgery. It turned out that he was

kidnapped.

“Yes. I lost my phone too, so I haven't been able to contact you again."

He sighed softly, with endless regret.

"No wonder I couldn't reach you no matter how much I searched or how

much I called." Joyce finally felt relieved at this moment.

She had always thought that she had made Justin desperate and that

he had refused to have the surgery.

She felt a sense of relief instead when she knew it was not because of

her.
