Chapter 949

Luther was silent for a moment.

He slowly spoke, “You sure can't let your past hold you back. I hope Mr.

Henderson will also come out soon and not just wallow in the sadness.

This must not be what she wants.”

He said as he pulled Joyce's hand under the table and held it firmly.

Justin trembled a bit. Yeah, if Joyce was still around, she wouldn't want

him to be like this.

In the past, she gave everything she had to help him get back on his

feet without complaint.

Now that he has fallen into the same kind of abyss again, she must not

want him to repeat himself.

But now she was gone, no one could ever find anything about her.

What was he living for?

How could he bear it that Luther, who should be responsible for her

disappearance the most, had gotten away with it all these years and

found a new love.

"Huh. I'm not as thick-skinned as Mr. Warner. I won't just have a

random substitute like you."

Substitute? Joyce was stunned. Did he mean her?

Justin gave her a cold glare.

His eyes were fixed at the hands of Luther's and hers that were

clasped under the table all the time.

Although she looked different and had a different voice, she had a

similar figure and temperament to Joyce.

Unexpectedly, Luther found himself such a substitute to replace Joyce.

“I just want to kindly warn you. Don't trust this man beside you, one

slip-up and he'll have you in pieces." Justin warned her in a cold voice.

Joyce was stunned when she realized that Luther had been holding her

hand, and she hurriedly drew back her hand and smiled awkwardly.

"Mr. Henderson must have misunderstood something. Between Mr.

Warner and me, it's a partnership, and that's all.” She explained.

“Let's hope so."

Justin grunted disdainfully.

He concluded to Luther, "Thank you anyway, Mr. Warner. I had

prepared a blue diamond ring for my fiancée, and I have been looking

for a matching blue diamond necklace. Today I finally got what I

wanted."

With that, he turned away with the wine in his hand.

Luther's handsome face instantly turned gloomy.

By fiancée Justin of course meant Joyce. Damn it, had he known Justin

was buying it to match some diamond ring, he would never let him have

it.

Damn!

What fiancée? It's obviously his wife, and they even had a child.

He was so angry that he felt so stuffy in his chest.

Joyce looked at Justin's stubborn back and rubbed her brow. It had

caused her so much of a headache.

“You care about him?" Luther nudged her. He was dissatisfied that after

all these years, she still cared about Justin in her heart.

This knowledge made him extremely upset and jealousy flooded his

heart.

"Could it be that, just now, you didn't let me raise my card because you

wanted to defend him? Afraid he'd pay more?" He pursued.

Joyce looked at Luther and she was speechless.

"Defend him? Including even today, I've seen him twice in total.”

She took care not to say anything more, "And, what do you mean I'm

afraid he'll pay more money? You think I don't know, charity bidding is

more about publicity.

Even if he paid 500 million today, he could earn the money back easily

from advertising or something like that with his increased fame due to

the trade. Three hundred million for that old necklace, Mr. Henderson

just got himself a good deal.”

"So, you don't want me to make the money?" Luther raised an

eyebrow.

Charity was a game of the rich, and it seemed she understood it quite

well.

In fact, he had a rough idea in his heart that Joyce must have seen

Justin's purpose and knew that Justin had a strong desire for this

necklace.

This was the reason why she took a few more glances at this blue

diamond necklace.

In order not to make a scene at the auction, she just stopped him from

bidding.

He said that on purpose, just to express his displeasure.

“You ..." Joyce was even more speechless, "How did you even get that

conclusion?"
