Chapter 76

In the Bentley, Luther sped along, driving out far from Canal Square

before he stopped at the side of the road.

Joyce placed the lily bouquet in her hand in the back seat of the car.

She unbuckled her seat belt to relieve the pressure and used deep

breathing to calm her disturbed heartbeat.

"There won't be any more reporters coming after us here.”

After Luther finished, he got out of the car, went to the trunk to get

water, and handed a bottle of water to Joyce.

Just after all the mess, he noticed her dry lips, and the thirsty and tired

look on her face.

She didn't think he could be quite considerate. Anyway, Joyce took the

mineral water, since she was indeed very thirsty.

"Thank you for helping me out just now." Joyce took a few sips of water,

gently wiped the corners of her lips, and asked, "Are we still going to

the Civil Affairs Bureau next?"

Luther turned his head and his deep eyes looked into her eyes.

He snorted, "How is that possible? A divorce now?"

Joyce thought for a moment and explained, "The marriage license

being exposed has absolutely nothing to do with me, please don't

misunderstand.”

She looked very much like she had a vested interest in being exposed

as married at such an important moment as receiving an award.

If he felt she was relying on him and did not want a divorce.

Luther gave her a contemptuous look.

How could he possibly think that she had leaked the information herself

and then let herself be surrounded by all the reporters at the podium?

He did not even have just any logic?

"What now?" Joyce looked helpless, "How long does it take to get to

the application?"

“No divorce at the moment, and the timing is unclear." He propped one

hand on his forehead, closed his eyes in annoyance, and said faintly,

“You were elected Khebury Shining Star and became a Khebury

ambassador. This event has improved the image of R&S Group even

more. As the chief president, and getting married to you, it is actually a

good thing for the group. Not surprisingly, there will be a lot of media

hype. With that, the R&S Group stock is bound to soar, bringing in huge

gains."

"Conversely, a divorce now would have a huge impact on R&S Group's

image and cause incalculable damage.”

Joyce kind of heard it.

She laughed half sarcastically, "You mean, today our marriage is

exposed, and still make you a big profit? After all, the president of the

high and mighty family disdains marriage alliance and marries the

talented and kind-hearted “Cinderella’. What a perfect fairy tale. This is

the hottest topic for the media."

"On the contrary, if we divorce. The media will say that the high and

mighty president, after using the “Cinderella’ to enhance the image of

the group, quickly abandoned and still chose a business marriage. You

would be like playing with the feelings of a commoner girl. Thus, your

perfect persona collapses, the R&S Group stock plummets, and you

lose a large amount of money? Right?" Joyce mentally calculated that

the market value of R&S Group was one hundred billion, and a one

percent drop was one billion.

Businessmen were just businessmen at the end of the day, giving

priority to profit at all times.

She sounded sarcastic, but it was indeed true.

Luther frowned a bit, and he said in cold voice, "for the company's

interests, now really can not divorce."

Joyce laughed softly, and then her laughter grew louder, almost out of

control.

She covered her lips with her hand and tried to restrain herself.

It was helplessness, astonishment, incredulity, mixed with sarcastic

laughter.

How did she not expect it?

It's amazing how things could turn out this way.

After all the things.

Still, they couldn't get a divorce.

"You're in a hurry?" Luther raised an eyebrow and looked at her

askance.

Whenever he heard her pushing for a divorce, he always felt discontent

within his heart, “You found Justin? Are you in a hurry to get rid of me?"

“I'm in a hurry? Shouldn't it be you who's anxious?" Joyce laughed,

"What does it matter to you if I find Justin or not?"
