You Hit My Heart (Joyce and Luther) novel Chapter 1708

Chapter 1708: Seems to Like You

Joyce and Darrin left the Ballard Group mansion together.

Darrin started the car, and Joyce sat in the passenger seat as they sped away.

Inside the car, Joyce leaned her head against the window, gazing outside.

The night was pitch black, stretching endlessly into the distance. The moon was unusually large, radiating an eerie yellow glow, while the brilliance of the stars remained hidden. The howling wind whistled through the car windows, creating a hissing sound.

Darrin drove on a small road, and there were a few places without streetlights. Even with the high beams on, they could only illuminate a short distance ahead.

The boundless darkness plunged Joyce into deep thought. Unconsciously, she rubbed her pointed chin, her profile hidden in the darkness, making it difficult to discern her expression.

Darrin glanced at Joyce occasionally while driving.

Finally, he couldn't help but ask, "Mr. Warner hasn't returned for almost a week. Don't you know where he went?"

Joyce shook her head, "I didn't ask."

"Why? It wouldn't be hard to find out. I can inquire for you," Darrin tightened his grip on the steering wheel.

"No reason. What do you think about what Christian said just now?" Joyce suddenly turned her head, looking at Darrin's handsome profile.

Darrin was taken aback. He had his own thoughts on the matter. "General, what do you think?"

Knowing abruptly about her husband's past relationship, he couldn't be sure of Joyce's current state of mind. Any normal woman would probably find it difficult to accept.

Joyce pointed out the doubts, "Did you notice that everything Christian said was either relayed to him by his sister Athena or his own speculation? He never witnessed any of it firsthand."

"Yes, you're right. He never had a proper conversation with Mr. Warner about his sister," Darrin said seriously. "General, although I haven't known Mr. Warner for long, I believe he is an open-minded person who wouldn't deliberately hide anything, nor does he have any reason to. What does he want? Moreover, Mr. Warner is decisive in his actions. If he likes someone, he won't let go. If he dislikes someone, he wouldn't spare them a second glance. That's how I see it."

Joyce nodded slightly.

"Yes. What we can be certain of is that Athena's cliff jump did happen, as Christian personally experienced it. But the key question is what led her to make that choice, something even Christian may not be clear about. And that's the crucial point in this whole matter."

Darrin glanced at Joyce again. "General, if Mr. Warner really had such a past, what do you plan to do?"

Joyce pondered for a moment before replying, "I don't want to assume anything. First, we need to determine the degree of credibility. You should know Karl; he implanted the idea in me, and it has had a deep impact. We need evidence for everything. Without evidence, I won't make any judgments."

"I've heard of him. He's the director of the Special Investigation Department and now the dean of the House of Inspection, right? I heard you have a good relationship with him," Darrin said. "General, should we involve Mr. Gregory in the investigation?"
