Chapter 696

In fact, it made no difference to blame Jacqueline.

It was all his fault.

He couldn't have known better about it.

It's all his own fault.

He had been such a fool. It was all because of his prejudice, his

arrogance, and his mistrust.

He made the same mistake twice and hurt her twice. He made it

happen with his own hand.

It was no one else’s responsibility, but his own.

"WHAT!"

Jacqueline could hardly believe what she was hearing. Her lips were

trembling, and tears fell down her cheeks.

"Joyce is pregnant with your baby? She was ... But how could she ... I

..." she simply could not dream of it.

Joyce was carrying the bloodline of the Warner family.

Joyce had almost no hope of survival, so wouldn't that mean that the

baby, too, was gone?

In fact, for a long time, she had been looking forward to having a

grandchild, which was why she was so excited about the child in

Charlotte's womb.

That's why she had been supporting Charlotte and suppressing Joyce.

To her surprise, all her expectation had fallen short now.

She also felt regret. For all this time, now that she thought about it,

there were many things that she might have gotten wrong.

It was just not enough for her to judge someone from the way they

looked.

Unfortunately, it was too late.

The door of the VIP room was suddenly pushed open with force.

Shelly came running in fast.

She had also been at St. Maria Hospital for the past two days. She had

just gone downstairs to do some shopping and on her way back she

was told that Luther had woken up.

She was naturally very worried about her brother when something like

this happened.

She rushed to Luther's bedside and said with concern, “Brother, you're

finally awake! It's good that you're okay. I heard the news and could

hardly believe it. I'm scared to death!"

When she turned her head, she saw the tearstains on Jacqueline's

cheeks and was amazed, "Mom, why are you crying, isn't brother

okay? Are you hiding something from me? Brother, what's wrong?"

Luther didn't answer. He just stared coldly at Shelly and spoke, "As I

recall, you should not have got released so early? How did you leave

the police station?"

“I ... 1... Anyway, they released me. Maybe I'm doing well."

Shelly turned her eyes away, not daring to look directly at Luther.

She didn't expect that the first thing Luther cared about, when he saw

her, was this.

“It was you?" Luther raised his head and looked at Jacqueline

indifferently, "You used your connections to release Shelly? Now that

Karl got shot and had no time for the internal management of the police

department, so you secretly find someone to release Shelly?"

“I ..." Jacqueline knew she couldn't hide it, “I'm sorry.”

"Huh."

Luther laughed, “That's how you spoiled Shelly. She's arrogant, and

she doesn't know what is right and what is wrong! You go find someone

and take Shelly back now. She must stay there for fifteen days, not a

day less. This is her punishment!"

“Brother, I have not done anything sinful. Why do you want me to stay

in that kind of place so much? You don't care about me at all. Now that

I am out a few days earlier, you still want to send me back? Do you

know how much I have suffered? The bed was as hard as iron, the

blanket smelled musty, and the bathroom was so simple that I could

hardly turn around in it. I couldn't even use hot water to take a shower.”

Shelly sounded so sad and complained loudly.

"Stop it."

Jacqueline gave Shelly a firm tug, signaling her to stop talking.

Shelly was such a fool and she did not understand Jacqueline’s hint,

"Brother, I was so shocked when I heard about what Charlotte had

done. She was usually so good to me, and how could I expect her to do

anything bad? Now that I think about it, she was indeed abnormal.

When she was in the military hospital, once I brought her food and I

met Ricky in her room as well.”

“At that time I did not take it very seriously. After all, he was her

bodyguard, and it was only normal for him to follow her! How could I

expect the two of them to have an adulterous affair! I was so shocked.”

Luther held his tongue and waited for her to continue.

"Now it's actually a relief. Charlotte's scandal is exposed, and we know

her for what she really is in time. She was also pushed down the stairs

by Joyce and lost her child. She deserved it, and the Warner family

also will not have to be responsible for her. And I don't know what it is

between Charlotte and Joyce. Anyway, that's between the two of them.

I think they are just both slutty shameless women. It's just normal for

them to fight against each other and it saves us a lot of trouble. Hmm."

Shelly already had grievances in her heart, and she had suffered so

much in the detention room for so many days, all thanks to Joyce.

She didn't feel bad when she heard that Joyce was missing, and it's

best if she could never be found.

In this way, Justin would not think of Joyce anymore.

Jacqueline was so afraid. Shelly had no idea that Luther had regained

his memory and she was talking nonsense.

She glanced at Luther, whose face was unusually calm.

She knew it was over. It was a sign of his outburst.

"Stop it! Stop it!"

Jacqueline pinched Shelly desperately, trying to stop her from saying all

her nonsense.

"Why are you pinching me? It hurts."

Shelly didn't understand, but questioned Jacqueline, "Did I say anything

wrong? Joyce was pregnant with a bastard to begin with, and I just

asked someone to push her a bit so she could get rid of her bastard.

How could that even be a crime? The actual fact is, I didn't get it, and

Joyce didn't miscarry. Moreover, on the day of the engagement party,

she pushed Charlotte down the stairs and caused Charlotte to miscarry.

Isn't that the worst crime? I think she deserves to die!"

It's over. Jacqueline's eyes rolled back in despair.

"She's carrying a bastard? The worst crime? She deserves to die?"

Luther's words burst out from between his teeth, and his dark eyes,

staring at Shelly, did not move for an instant.

"What's wrong? Is it wrong that I'm telling the truth?" Shelly perked up.

"Nothing but truth?" Luther's eyes had frozen into ice.

"Yes, Joyce is ruining our family! I hope she never comes back!"

“Pop!” Luther slapped Shelly as hard as he could.

Immediately, Shelly was knocked to the ground. She felt dizzy, her

eardrums were buzzing and there was even a stream of blood flowing

from the corner of her mouth.
