Chapter 794

But, she had to say it.

If there was no possibility between them, it should be made clear from

the beginning, otherwise she would only make the same mistake as

she did with Justin, and she had a great responsibility for the terrible

situation they were having now.

She thought of Karl. She didn’t want to be a burden to Karl so she had

made it very clear with him. After she woke up from the coma, she also

had thought of contacting Karl and Juanita, both of whom were her

close friends. But eventually she thought better of it.

Without her, the two of them should be able to get together.

Why should she get involved again?

And, this time, her return to the Capital was actually quite dangerous.

She didn't want anyone to get into danger because of her. Karl was

shot for her and almost died. If she hadn't left him behind, he would

have long died. When she thought about it, she still felt guilty in her

heart.

What was past was past.

Wouldn't it be nice to just let them all think that she was dead and

everyone could start over?

Although, Justin's persistence was something she didn't expect.

So, with Kane in front of him, there could be no more delays.

Kane, sitting next to her, froze, and his handsome face suddenly

stiffened. They were talking about the their financing, and why would

she talk about him suddenly?

Indeed, he confessed his love to her several times, and each time she

refused him explicitly.

"Sister. Why did you suddenly bring this up today?" He pretended to

laugh it off, "Sister, don't be like that. You see, I am still very young and

can't withstand such a blow.”

Joyce glared at him. Every single time, he would try to muddle through

in the same way.

“You are not young, and you should find a girlfriend. If you can't find

any, I know some girls. Do you still remember the student of HF

University, she has quite a good feeling for you."

“No, don't!" Kane hurriedly waved his hand, trying to hide the glint of

hurt in his eyes, and his tone remained relaxed, "I like girls who are

older than me. I don't like childish girls, and I always have a headache

when I see them. Sister, you must not harm me."

"And, I just like girls like you." Kane said unrelentingly.

“I'm six years older than you." Joyce couldn't resist reminding.

"That sounds just right to me." Kane shrugged.

Joyce frowned. It would be just right if he was six years older than she

was.

She was just about to continue.

Suddenly, a cold voice rang out behind them both.

"Miss Knowles, you seem to be having a great time here. What are you

doing?"

It was Luther's voice.

Joyce was stunned. Did he come to the dinner party too? She thought

he wouldn't come if she had left first. After all, she had the impression

that he hated attending such dinners with business purposes.

And when had he been standing behind them?

And how much did he hear?

She suddenly felt chills down her spine and numbness in her scalp, as

if his eyes behind her was two ice blades stabbed fiercely into her back.

Luther came around to the front, pulled out a chair, and sat exactly

where Justin had just sat.

He had been looking for her at the dinner party, and to his surprise, she

was in such an isolated place.

And, she was with a man six years younger than she was.

He remembered that he had seen the man before at the hotel reception

desk. She was with this man and at that time he only saw his back.

Now he sat in front of them, looking up and down at the man who was

six years younger than she was.
