Joyce heard Juanita calling her and quickly walked towards them. Luther followed behind her, with Karl and Chris also joining. A group of people gathered around a casual table, chatting away.
Juanita said, "As hosts, you came out so late, it's really too much. You're neglecting us." Everyone knew the real reason. They were an old couple, not newlyweds; was it really necessary?
Joyce laughed, "Sorry, it won't happen again." She glared at Luther and lied, "Someone had a video conference all morning. A workaholic who can't change."
Luther looked back at Joyce speechlessly. Some things didn't need an explanation; those who understood would understand. Explaining would only make things worse.
"Speaking of workaholics, no one used to beat my Karl," Juanita teased. "But now he's changed; he's almost a doting father."
Karl chuckled and shook his head. How did he not know that Juanita was so jealous? Her words were full of sourness.
"Joyce, Mr. Warner, I couldn't help last time, but I'm glad you managed..."
Before Karl could finish, Joyce interrupted, "You're just born to worry. Relax a bit; everything will work out in the end. Understand? The world keeps turning."
Karl laughed, "Yes, ma'am, you're right."
Joyce rolled her eyes at him, "With that attitude, I won't tell you anything in the future."
Karl was speechless.
Luther took a sip of his tea. Chris then said, "I heard about your situation too. It's really not fair; no one asked me for help. I have military power at my disposal. Just say the word and I could send troops to Rohomes in no time."
"Come on, Chris," Kane suddenly appeared from nowhere. "If they could contact you, they could contact anyone. Military power? Who doesn't have it? Doesn't my sister's family have it? If war could solve the problem, it wouldn't be a problem! Besides, we have to thank my brother-in-law for negotiating a perfect solution without any damage. Otherwise, they'd still be in Rohomes eating raw fish every day!"
Chris glared at Kane for undermining him.
Kane kept talking, "In that godforsaken place, all we ate were cold meals; it made my stomach hurt so much. At least now I can eat something warm."
"The high-tech products I gave my sister didn't even come in handy," Kane said as he took out Joyce's gun-shaped brooch from his pocket. It was both a brooch and a pendant with dual functions.
"Look at this; it has 3D projection and voice control features with the latest AI system embedded. Through voice commands, it can display floating visual frames for basic information queries and has communication functions too. But once satellite communication is cut off, it's useless. It's such a pity that my sister couldn't use it."
"Pity? Not at all," Luther said discontentedly. "Kane, I hope this thing never gets used in our lifetime."
"Right, right, brother-in-law is absolutely right." Since Luther replaced him and let him retreat first, Kane had almost become his biggest supporter.

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....
