Luther had reserved a large private room at the banquet hall, and it was almost time for dinner, a perfect opportunity for everyone to gather.
Felix and Vicki made their way to the private room, where Karl soon joined them.
Karl had changed into casual attire, though it was still a slightly formal suit compared to the others. He stood at the door of the room, nodding in greeting as he saw the others inside.
Luther was standing by the window, on a call. When he saw Karl enter, he gestured towards a seat.
Felix carefully observed Karl, and jokingly said, "Commission Gregory graces us with his presence. I've met you before, but this is the first time we've dined together. Commission Gregory's formality makes us feel a bit restrained, doesn't it? Those in the bureaucratic world truly have a different air about them."
Joyce jumped into the conversation, "Formal? Mr. Saunders, you don't know that when Commission Gregory arrived, he was wearing the inspection office uniform. Quite impressive. For those who don't know, they'd think he was there for an official investigation. Just now, Commission Gregory deliberately went back to his room to change his clothes."
She scrutinized Karl's refined appearance, "It seems he even took a shower and dried his hair."
Karl seemed resigned, "You're all making fun of me."
"Mr. Saunders, I've spent some time in Khebury. I've heard a lot about your exploits," Karl greeted Felix.
"Of course, the Saunders Residence is well-known in the bureau. I'm aware of that. There used to be a lot of negative rumors, but those have been whitewashed in recent years. The Gregory family's background is well-established in the judicial world, with your father being the chief justice. It's no wonder Commission Gregory looks so upright. Your family and mine are like day and night, completely different types of people from different worlds. It's a pleasure to dine together today, I'll make sure to toast you properly later," Felix remarked.
Karl chuckled, "I wouldn't say that. The Saunders Residence has played a crucial role in maintaining order on the streets. It's better to have one dominant force than a chaotic slew of them. The Saunders Residence has done well for itself. During my time at the police headquarters, I heard many positive stories about the Saunders Residence. We, on the other hand, simply serve our duty to the public and society without making much of a contribution."
"Alright, both of you, stop praising each other so modestly. Can we talk about something else? Isn't this boring?" Vicki interjected, clearly unenthusiastic about the table talk and business flattery.
Felix was left speechless, while Karl had noticed Vicki early on. She was the kind of woman who stood out in a crowd, as she was too dazzling to miss.
Karl inquired, "Is this the sister-in-law?" He knew very well that the woman before him was the legendary figure in the underworld, Vicki. Although they had never met, the legends about Vicki had always persisted.
"The implications of calling him 'sister-in-law' run deep, indeed," Joyce observed calmly, "Having access to all information has its advantages. He knows everything about each person's age, background, and experiences."
Karl did not deny it, "Mr. Saunders and I are the same age, with a three-month difference in our birthdays."
Felix shook his head, "Ah, it seems there's nothing that can escape Commission Gregory's notice."
"Hello, I'm Vicki," Vicki boldly extended her hand.
Karl stood and shook her hand, "Nice to meet you."
Then he turned to Felix, "Mr. Saunders, you're lucky to have such a wife." It wasn't just about luck, it was about being able to handle her. Vicki was not an ordinary person.
"Of course," Felix beamed. Whenever someone mentioned that Vicki was his wife, he would show a proud expression, "My Vicki is one of a kind in the world."

The readers' comments on the novel: Wrong marriage and sweet love (Joyce and Luther)
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....
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....
