The air felt suffocating.
Breathing became increasingly difficult.
Joyce suddenly felt a chill run down her spine, her entire body tingling. What did Darrin's late-night message mean? There was an undercover agent among them! And so close to her! So close to the children!
She jolted awake, struggling to get out of bed, heading towards the door.
But Luther grabbed her, "Where are you going?"
"I need to check on Wilson and Cullen, and Anderson and Iris!" Joyce was sweating, her voice trembling.
Luther pulled her back, "Don't get agitated. The enemy is in the dark, while we are in the light. If we can't accurately pinpoint the person, suspecting the wrong individual could be even more dangerous."
He pulled Joyce into his embrace, calmly analyzing the situation for her.
"The only ones who could know our family affairs are the maids or security personnel. Several maids have been with us for over half a month, and if the target was the children, they would have had ample opportunity to strike. Calm down first, let's analyze this carefully. We must not tip our hand too soon."
Joyce nodded, forcing herself to calm down. She knew Luther was right. The other party had no idea they were onto them. Once the undercover person realized they were exposed, they would be driven to desperate measures, making the situation more perilous for them.
Taking a few deep breaths, Joyce asked, "Who do you think it could be?"
Luther squinted his deep eyes, leading Joyce to sit on the sofa in the room. They had lost all sense of sleep by now. Who would have thought that on such a seemingly calm night, such news would break out?
"As you said, first, we can rule out Chinn, as his chances are slim." Luther closed his eyes, filtering through all the personnel in his mind. "I don't think it's the security personnel either, as there have been no changes since you gave birth. Based on the information Summer provided us, it should be someone who was inserted after you gave birth."
"Based on your deduction, it can only be one of the four maids. Elsa, Jane, Mrs. Brown, and Mrs. Powell, among them. Who do you think is most likely?" Joyce tightened her grip, "I haven't noticed anything unusual during my interactions with them. It seems I'm not sharp enough."
"Think back carefully. Who seems suspicious to you? Even the slightest discomfort or oddity can help us. Let's analyze together." Luther took Joyce's hand and held it in his palm.
"Hmm. Let me think." Joyce's clear eyes glazed over as she delved into thought.
She went through recent events in her mind like a revolving lantern.
"Elsa is the most meticulous and careful person. She is a distant relative of my mother and was transferred from the warlords. She has never made a mistake in her work. I can't think of anything suspicious about her. As for Jane, she is kind and easy to get along with. She is very polite to me, and I've observed her getting along well with others. Mrs. Brown and Mrs. Powell are younger than her, and they have never acted superior. Most importantly, only Jane can hold Wilson. If there were any issues with Jane, then Wilson would have to be cared for by me temporarily."
Luther shook his head, "Let's not focus on Jane for now. Wilson is very discerning by nature; I believe he wouldn't choose the wrong person."
"I hope so."
Although Joyce said this, she didn't dare to bet, as Wilson was just a baby.
"The other two maids were recruited from outside. We should keep a closer eye on them. Especially Mrs. Powell, with her background being somewhat pitiable, she would be more susceptible. What do you think?" Joyce thought carefully.
Comments
The readers' comments on the novel: Wrong marriage and sweet love (Joyce and Luther)
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....
I hate it when the hero and heroine are made out to be fools for the evil people that wish to steal their lives and live. Hopefully Charlotte is found out quickly and removed. Why should a villain with an illegitimate child reap all the rewards. Terrible....
Author wasted so much time describing how Joyce looked, more than once, no wonder the book is so long because we keep reading the same things over again...
