Chapter 565

Luther took a few steps to catch up with Joyce and reached out to pull

her in.

Joyce turned her head, feigning surprise, "Why did you follow me here?

I told the driver not to wait for me, it would just waste everyone's time."

“I also told the driver not to wait for me." Luther replied faintly.

"So how are you going to get back? Have Aaron pick you up? It takes

him more than three hours to come and go." Joyce asked knowingly,

"Forget it, I don't want to ask you. I'll go find my phone first."

She walked all the way back, until she walked near the beach, passing

by the previous tarot card stall, and the soothsayer had closed the stall,

leaving only an empty tent.

She searched around the tent and found nothing.

Then she continued on her way and returned to the hair accessories

stall she had visited with Juanita earlier.

The store had not yet closed.

Joyce went up and asked, "Hello, my friend and I just bought some hair

accessories here. Have you seen a red cell phone left here?"

The shopkeeper shook his head, "Sorry, I haven't seen it. You can go

look elsewhere.”

"Strange, I obviously sent a text message nearby. It probably slipped

out of my pocket, but it should be nearby." Joyce pretended to try to

recall, "It can't be wrong, it must be nearby.”

“You didn't turn off your phone? I'll call your phone and find out.” Luther

took out his cell phone and dialed Joyce's number.

The hair accessory stall was also closing. They leaned over to the tent.

“Listen carefully, I think I can hear a little faint ringing of my cell phone."

Joyce followed the sound until she came to a reef bush.

Luther dialed again.

The ringing gradually became louder and louder, and Joyce searched

for a moment in the reef bush and finally found her phone.

"Oh, it's a good thing I didn't lose it. There are a lot of important records

in there, and it's a lot of trouble to lose this phone." She let out a sigh of

relief and wiped the phone clean.

"So I have found my phone. Now what? How are you going to get

back?" Joyce asked Luther.

"By the way, you haven't called Charlotte back yet. I just suddenly

remembered.”

"So what?" Luther raised an eyebrow.

"If you don't answer, she'll think I didn't tell you. Not good." Joyce

pointed to Luther's phone, “It won't take you a minute to get back to

her. Don't make it hard for me."

Luther narrowed his sharp eyes and glanced at her coldly, and then

dialed Charlotte's number.

Charlotte picked up almost instantly.

"Hey, looking for me?" Luther's voice was clear and cold as if she could

never get close to him.

"Not going back tonight.”

"Not tomorrow, there's a meeting."

"Okay, you take care of yourself."

"Hanging up then."

From the time he answered the phone to the time he hung up, Luther

said only five sentences in total, and none of them showed any concern

about her.

Joyce knew from Luther's conversation that her purpose had been

accomplished.

For one thing, Charlotte thought Luther was with her and stayed

overnight in the seaside town, and now she must be furious. For

another, Luther refused to visit Charlotte in the hospital, and Charlotte

must have taken it out on herself. Charlotte must think she seduced

him again.

So what would Charlotte, who was angry to the core and bent on

revenge against herself, do at this point?

Joyce flexed and sat on the reef, "Got to deal with some business

messages now."

In fact, she was opening her chats.

Earlier Karl had sent her a message but back then she hadn't had time

to reply to his messages.

One of Karl's messages read, "Confirmed that Ricky has arrived in

Khebury. He first put his luggage back to the Heath family and is now

staying in a hotel near the military hospital.”
