Chapter 29
However, when Jacqueline and Shelly heard from others that Joyce claimed to be Stephanie's nanny
and Luther did not deny it, the two were somewhat relieved.
The two discussed privately and ventured to guess that perhaps there was some sort of agreement
between Luther and Joyce, and that this agreement must have something to do with Stephanie.
Since Luther didn't want to go public with the news that he's married. Then there was room to turn
everything around. © 2024 Nôv/el/Dram/a.Org.
They just pretended they didn't know.
"Speaking of which, our two families still have a marriage contract ......" Jacqueline wanted to say
something, probing Cecelia's attitude. The marriage with the general family was vital to the business
circle.
"A marriage contract?" Charlotte thought she had heard it wrong.
"Oh, back when you were just born. Our two families agreed that the eldest son and daughter would be
married later." Cecelia narrated, "Charlotte, you can choose for yourself. Mom will never force you."
Cecelia looked at Charlotte tenderly. Twenty years had passed, and after all the hardships, she finally
found her daughter. She was so young and experienced the hardship in orphanage. In the future she
would compensate her.
Charlotte thought there was an engagement between her and Luther.
God, she was ecstatic, and willing to marry him.
Shelly yanked Luther over here, "Speaking of this, Charlotte saved Luther's life." To broker the
marriage for them and got rid of Joyce. That was something she was happy to see it happen.
"Really?" Jacqueline stood up and asked with concern, "Luther, when did you get hurt? Did Charlotte
save you?"
Charlotte bowed her head shyly.
No words meant acquiescence.
With uncertain look, Luther only said, "That day I was in danger. Thanks to Miss Charlotte for saving
me, otherwise it would have been a disaster."
He did, indeed, always owe Charlotte an explanation.
And, it can't be delayed any longer.
He didn't expect that Charlotte would be the daughter of the Heath family, to whom he was engaged to.
"I can't believe that they have this kind of destiny. It's really God's will." Cecelia saw a blush on
Charlotte's cheeks, and she immediately understood that her daughter was already in love with him.
"Luther, Charlotte saved your life. You have to repay her well." Jacqueline couldn't wait for the two
families to join in marriage.
"Luther, you can pledge to marry her." Shelly pushed him.
......
Joyce was standing in front of the floor-to-ceiling window, and she could hear their voice not far away.
Charlotte had saved Luther's life and was engaged to him.
What a surprise.
She faked to be his wife and became a real mistress.
She didn't want to hear it any more, and then walked away towards the garden terrace.
She took out her cell phone and dialed the number she had repeatedly called over the past few days.
Still, the number you have called turned off.
Justin, where the hell are you? She took a deep breath. She was so tired and powerless.
"Luther's wife?" The voice that suddenly rang out startled her.
She turned her head and watched a man come out of the darkness.
Pure black suit, black tie. Demonic and wild looks, the man was born so evil. That was a kind of sin. He
lit a cigarette, and his whole body was immersed in the lingering smoke.
"What, do I look fascinated?" Christian Ballard's mouth was slanted in a bad smile.
"You're not a good person, stay away from me." Joyce said bluntly, turning away.
Christian froze, not expecting her to be so blunt at all.
He was involved in the illegality, but he did not have to write the word "bad" on his face.
Oh, Luther's women, it wa so much fun.
He was also interested in her.
He crushed out the cigarette in his hand with his bare hands, not feeling hot at all.
He smiled wildly, so enchanting.
