Chapter 827

Luther was so angry with her that he slammed his fist on the steering

wheel.

He didn't want to be angry with her, so he could only a few deep

breaths to calm his mind.

How was it possible for him to please Otis?

He simply did not want to offend Otis now, and for good reason.

Since Joyce's accident, Charlotte had been protected by the military

and even taken to the Capital.

No matter how much money he had, he could not interfere with the

internal affairs of the military.

He still had no idea why Ricky was after Joyce. Of course, it certainly

had something to do with Charlotte, but what about all the other

incidents?

The reason why he didn't fall out with Otis was because he wanted to

get close to the military through Otis.

The gold bars were prepared by him a long time ago and had been

placed in the trunk of the sports car all the time. They were intended to

be a gift for Otis, and he just gave them to him earlier than scheduled.

Joyce saw that he was angry and didn't say anything else.

Today, it's all because of her.

After all, he saved her and drank that glass of wine for her, and she

shouldn't make him angry again.

When she thought about that glass of wine...

She looked sideways and quietly surveyed him.

She didn't dare to drink it because she thought there was something

wrong with it, and he drank that glass of wine for her

So far, it looked as if there was nothing wrong with the glass of wine.

Could it be that she was overthinking?

"Ahem." Joyce changed the topic, "Mr. Warner, how did you know I

went to Nine Up Bar with Otis today?"

Luther took a few deep breaths again to calm his furious heartbeat.

“I went to the construction site. You're gone."

"Oh."

Joyce realized that Eloise, the salesgirl on the construction site, had

told Luther about her.

"What a coincidence that Mr. Warner is also visiting the plot today?"

She gave a dry laugh.

That's a bit too much of a coincidence.

"It was Kane who called me." He gave her a sideways glance and

glared at her.

"What!" Joyce was shocked that it was Kane who called Luther. She

suddenly realized how worried Kane must be after she had gone out to

see Otis alone.

Kane had no choice but to call Luther.

She hurriedly took out her phone and sent a text message to Kane, "I

am alright. Already back to the hotel."

As expected, Kane replied in seconds.

"Great, Sister. Must have been a long day. Rest early."

Joyce rubbed her temples and sighed in relief.

Anyway, there was a satisfactory outcome to today's events.

Next, she should just stick to the plan step by step.

When Luther was driving the car, however, he felt so hot gradually.

He had some doubts within his heart. Could it be that he had just drunk

too much wine? How was it possible? He could not possibly get drunk

just for a bottle of red wine.

He first took off his navy blue trench coat and tossed it to Joyce beside

him.

Then he unbuttoned his suit.

The cool breeze blew in and he felt a lot more comfortable.

On the way, as he drove, he got hotter and hotter. He opened the roof

of the sports car so that he could get some fresh air.

When he got to the underground parking lot of the hotel and parked his

car...

His back was even soaked with sweat.

Joyce finally noticed something unusual about him. His cheeks were

unusually red, and she asked, "What's wrong with you? Not feeling

well?"

Luther shook his head, “No. It may be the wine."

They then got out of the car and into the elevator.

Luther obviously felt more and more uncomfortable, and his heart was

beating faster and faster.

It could not be the wine, right? Was there something wrong with the

wine?
