Wrong marriage and sweet love (Joyce and Luther) novel Chapter 899

After Karl had sent Joyce away.

Karl returned to his office.

When he looked back upon what happened today, he felt like he was dreaming.

For four years, the heavy stone he had been carrying in his heart finally fell to the ground at this moment.

But he did not feel at ease at all, because, as he knew, a stronger opponent had appeared.

Otis, the second most powerful man in the military, was much more difficult to deal with than Ricky.

Back then, even if it was but a mere Ricky, his carelessness almost cost him his life. Today's Otis would be more than that. But, he was no longer the Karl of that year either, and now, he had tremendous power in his hand.

That said, his long-cherished wish for four years had finally come real and he felt so relieved.

As long as Joyce was safe, he would have no regrets.

He felt relieved, and he thought of Juanita, who had been his silent support for four years, and he picked up his cell phone and dialed her number.

Usually they didn’t see each other much, and after the accident four years ago, Juanita became quite shy instead. She had been deliberately avoiding him. If it wasn't for the continuous efforts of the two families to create opportunities for them to meet, he was afraid they might have already lost contact.

He seldom took the lead in such a matter, and he was usually very busy at work, so he seldom called her.

A few moments later, the call was answered.

Juanita's sweet and delicate voice came, "Well, Karl, are you looking for me? Is there something wrong?"

"I want to see you tonight, Cloud Sea Restaurant, six o'clock. How's that?" He paused for a moment, "We can talk about it … about getting married."

Apparently, the person on the phone, froze for a moment.

"Your mother is pushing you again? It's okay. I'll talk to her, and I don't want to get married yet."

"No. My mom didn't say anything, and I wanted to call you myself." Karl said softly.

This time, on the phone, the silence lasted much longer.

Karl waited patiently for Juanita's reply.

After a long time, so long that he almost thought she had hung up long ago.

"Did you ... find her?" She asked.

"Hmm."

Karl faintly uttered a word, and he sounded relaxed.

"Good. See you tonight." She answered softly and immediately hung up the phone.

On the other hand, when Luther called Joyce, to his surprise, the call was answered by Karl.

After Karl hung up the phone, an inexplicable fear and panic welled up in him.

What could the bizarre murder of that Mr. Walsh of Blue Maple have to do with her? It was clear that she was with him yesterday.

He rushed to turn on the TV.

It so happened that the channel was broadcasting the Hotel Dragon murder live.

A police cordon had been set up underneath the building, several police cars were parked at the entrance, police officers were busy going in and out, and reporters had all gathered in front of Hotel Dragon.

The news anchor narrated excitedly, "This morning, a bizarre murder occurred in our city. The deceased is Mr. Walsh of Blue Maple Group. So far, the police have not found any suspicious people entering the scene. According to our sources, the deceased does not look like he has died a natural death. There are even comments that it looks more like it was done by non-humans ..."

Since Anderson was beside him and the TV was showing a bloody picture, Luther then turned off the TV.

He really didn't expect that that Mr. Walsh of Blue Maple Group had died, and he didn’t know if it was the older Mr. Walsh or the younger Mr. Walsh.

After four years of absence, Karl went to the House of Inspection Special Investigation Unit?

How did he get involved in this case?

What could the murder have to do with Joyce?

And why was Karl with her? And he was answering her phone calls?

There had been too many questions that could not be explained.

At that moment, Anderson tugged on Luther's sleeve, "Uncle Luther, I'm hungry."
