Wrong marriage and sweet love (Joyce and Luther) novel Chapter 460

"How did you get away?" Joyce wondered how Justin was able to escape from Derrick when he was in a wheelchair and unable to walk.

"Because the man Derrick sent to spy on me was once in debt to me. When his mother was seriously ill, I helped them and his mother finally survived. He couldn't stand Derrick's insane competition for power and sent me away secretly and falsely claimed to Derrick that he had placed me under house arrest. After I escaped, I realized there was more to it than that and had to get my act together to find out the truth about what happened. I contacted an old friend and asked him to secretly help me get to Mufron for surgery. The surgery went smoothly, and while I was recovering, I worked on my daily rehab, trying to get back to my feet, and using my contacts to investigate Derrick. Now I had all the evidence for the two years. I was in Mufron, quietly waiting for the right time. Finally, with all the evidence in hand, I appeared in front of Derrick and my father at the board meeting for the change of the heir, and exposed all his schemes on the spot. I dealt him the ultimate blow. In the aftermath, Derrick had to quit the Henderson family bank, but of course I wouldn't let him go to jail because he is my brother and I have to protect the honor of the Henderson family."

Justin finished; his bright eyes full of apologies.

"After I returned home, I've been following your news, I know everything you've suffered, but I don't have the face to see you. I missed you too much, and I've been looking for the right time to appear in front of you again."

Joyce listened and took a deep breath.

She felt a sense of relief when she was clear about the past, and even the air around her felt extra fresh.

She tried to pull her hand back from Justin's grasp, but Justin held on to her firmly.

"Joyce, I have set up my own financial and venture capital company and have separated myself from the Henderson family bank. From now on, I will not be subject to anyone, much less to the Henderson family, so rest assured that the pain you once suffered will never happen again." He said solemnly.

Joyce sighed lightly, "Justin, in fact, the night before the World Shooting Championships, I agreed to meet with you, and I actually wanted to talk to you clearly. I hope you can understand that my feelings for you have never been love. It's just that at that time I was being chased and you had an accident. I have not been able to say these words again."

Justin's eyes dimmed, and he couldn't have known better.

He knew it too well that she did not love him and the reason why she agreed to meet him was to make everything clear. And it was precisely for this reason that he became so desperate that he gave himself up when he fell off the cliff and woke up to find himself unable to move his legs.

He had no way to keep her around, and privately hoped to tether her in this way and keep her with him.

He hated his own leg disability so much that he was desperate to escape from reality, fearing that he would never be able to stand up and let go of his obsession with her.

He made all sorts of big mistakes that even he himself could never forgive himself.

"Joyce, I understand. I can't forgive myself for what I've done. I can’t really ask you to forgive me." He let go of her hand, his eyes revealing an unprecedented determination, "Give me a chance to spend the rest of my life making up for you."

Joyce slowly lowered her head, "I have not resented you, so there is no forgiveness. You don't need to have a burden in your heart. Although the truth of the matter is that your brother wanted to harm you, I am also responsible for all this. After all, at that time you did it for me, and you broke up with the Henderson family for me, and only then could Derrick have the opportunity to attack us. Anyway, since the day you and I knew each other, all the things that happened afterwards seemed just inevitable. Maybe that’s just our destiny. You don't have to blame yourself, and I don't have to worry about it anymore. I think it's good for us to talk about it now."

"By the way, there are two things that I should return to you." She opened her bag and took out two boxes, one large and the other a little smaller. In fact, she had put them in her bag for a long time, always thinking of finding an opportunity to return it to him, but she was hesitant, afraid that it would hurt him again. Since they had talked about it all today, she had no worries.

Justin watched as she pushed the two boxes in front of him, his heart "jumped" and he had a bad feeling.

He reached out his hand, trembling slightly, and silently opened the box.

Inside the larger box was his watch. Once, he asked the nurse to pawn this limited edition watch.
