Joyce stared blankly at the TV, and on Otis' shoulder, his badge shone brightly.
After Otis' brief remarks, a senior officer took over for Otis and began the main briefing.
After a brief appearance, Otis retired to the background.
The senior officer elaborated that the military was in an unprecedented crisis - Ms. Cecelia had a sudden accident and was dying, and the general had a heart attack after being informed of the bad news and was currently receiving emergency treatment.
Since there was no leader within the military, Otis, the current highest-ranked officer, shall take over the management from General Ralph.
The new leadership team would be quickly established within two days to ensure that the national defense security would not be affected in any way.
In addition, the military would continue to maintain its freedom and independence, it would not interfere in the president's political affairs, it would continue to take the safety of the nation as its top priority, and it would not affect the lives of the people, so all the citizens could rest assured.
As Joyce listened, the images in front of her seemed to be spinning, and the sound coming out of the TV became blurred.
It was as if everything was so ... unreal.
This was it? A coup d'état?
Otis ascended to the top of the military?
So fast?
Everything’s changed overnight?
What about Cecelia, what about General Ralph? What happened to them?
She stood there dumbfounded, her mind blank, and she could never believe what had just happened.
The room was very quiet, and Luther did not make a sound, nor did Anderson. Even Ivy, who is usually always ranting, froze and watched the TV without saying a word.
"Sister, the military has changed. Just now the military suddenly took over the official radio and television station, and we only knew what happened after the live broadcast. Now the military have informed us to release it according to what they said. Now no one knows what happened and the Roberts family dares not to confront him, and can only do as they say."
Kane finished in one breath, "Sister, is there anything unusual on your side? Has Luther come back yet?"
"Nothing unusual." Joyce glanced up at Luther, "He's back."
"That's good. I'm relieved to have someone to look after your side. Sister, I'm going to Roberts' Headquarters to help them, and I'll call you in time if there's anything new."
"Hmm. You go get busy."
After Joyce hung up the phone.
Ivy couldn't resist coming up and asking, "Ms. Knowles, Mr. Warner, I am confused. What has actually happened? Does it have any effect on us?"
"It's not clear at this point, and the impact can be large or small." Luther subconsciously hugged Anderson tighter, "Our country is always a military government, and it’s only now changed to a presidential system. The influence of the military is always there. Because the military power has never been transferred to the government. Originally the Heath family promised that it was getting ready for the transfer, and it should just be the following years."

The readers' comments on the novel: Wrong marriage and sweet love (Joyce and Luther)
Why has all the names changed from english name to Chinese, It’s difficult to understand who is who...
If this is the ending of this story the story then I wish I hadn’t started reading it doesn’t even end right has not closure. To bad these writers don’t put much into their endings....
When will the new chapters come I can't wait any longer...
Very strange ending, is Joyce pregnant again or does she still have remnants of the devil with her. Christian should have apologized and made up with Luther and Felix. Too much violence and twists and turns, once settled, everyone should be happy and healthy....
Omg… can’t you just let Luther and Joyce live in peace with their children….another controversy doesn’t add to the story....
Not again, ugh … just get rid of this disgusting despicable woman...
Hopefully the underground bio lab East523will be found soon and Luther will make a full recovery, Lily will be reunited with the family and all will be good. Otherwise this will be a very disappointing story....
Please don’t make more trouble for Joyce and Luther, they need to have their children and be happy...
Looking forward to Joyce shooting Otis where it will hurt him the most and end his disgusting ways with women. He’s a pig, deserves to lose his “unit”....
Just tell him you’re the one that saved him , not the evil woman and find your beautiful love story together. Quit being a wet blanket, too smart for that....
