Chapter 623

In vain, the only sound left on the phone was the "Beep, Beep, Beep—"

sound.

Joyce was so angry that she wanted to smash her phone on the spot,

but eventually she held it back.

If Casey hadn't answered the phone first and explained the situation.

She would certainly think Luther was trying to play his tricks again. Now

that they'd actually been in a car accident, what could she say?

There was no hope they could get the divorce papers today, and she

could only leave the court first.

She called Aaron, "Hey, Aaron, come to the front gate now. I'll give you

back his ID."

Aaron sounded very surprised on the phone, "You finished the

formalities? But I didn't see Boss's car in the underground garage.

That's weird. If Boss is here, he would just have handed me the

documents himself and I would take care of the rest for him. Is

something wrong?"

“Yeah, you got that right.” Joyce said with obvious displeasure, “They

had a car accident on the highway and couldn't make it today.”

"Ah. Okay, I'll be right there then." Aaron hung up the phone quickly.

At the gate of the court, Joyce handed Luther's ID back to Aaron.

"Casey said that they hit the car in the front of them and they were not

hurt. You don't need to worry too much.”

Aaron nodded and asked again, "Where are you going now, I can drive

you there."

“No, I have some personal business." Joyce waved her hand, "You can

go ahead and get busy."

"Okay." Aaron responded, turning around to leave. To be honest, no

matter what the reason was, Luther did not make it to the court today

actually was a relief to him.

After Joyce left the court, she walked down the road and dialed Karl's

number when no one was around.

Although she did not get the divorce papers, she still needed to stick to

the original plan.

"Joyce, is it done?" On the phone, Karl was the first to ask.

"Uh." Joyce was quite awkward, "There was an accident. No, I do not

get the divorce papers. Luther had a car accident on the highway, and

he cannot make it here today."

"What?! He had another car accident? What a coincidence.”

"Christian finally found the whereabouts of the AWM that Ricky had

used. It's not convenient for him to deliver the gun himself though, so

he just sent me a message. I'll go to Pier 4 and pick it up, and he'll send

someone to deliver it." Joyce told him everything. After the long wait

outside the court, although she was upset, there was finally some good

news. They could finally get the sniper rifle.

"Great. Joyce, Pier 4 is a bit out of the way, so I'll go with you. Where

are you now? I'll come over and pick you up." Karl asked.

Joyce looked up at the nearest road sign.

“I'm on Riverway Avenue, and there's a monument nearby.”

“I know where it is. You stay at the intersection. I'll come pick you up in

no more than ten minutes." Karl told her.

"Wait, you don't drive a police car." Joyce hurriedly admonished. She

thought it would be Vicki who would deliver the sniper rifle. If Karl drove

a police car with her, it would be too flashy.

"l know."

Karl answered and then hung up.

Joyce stood alone by the roadside. The sun was almost setting and she

found a shady place to avoid the remaining heat. Occasionally, she

would look up from her phone and have a look around.

Sure enough, within ten minutes, Karl pulled up in front of her in his

own car just on time.

Joyce opened the car door and sat in the front seat.

Right after she sat down, Karl turned sideways and reached out to help

her fasten her seat belt, very gentlemanly.

“Let's go. It took Christian so long to find the gun this time. I think he

must have encountered a lot of difficulties.” Joyce said, "Otherwise,

with Christian's personality and efficiency, he would have gotten it done

long ago. I was worried before, that maybe we just could not get the

gun this time. Fortunately, just now I received his message. It's great!"
