She could not wait to tear Joyce to pieces. But for the time being, she had no choice but to grit her teeth and hold back.
Suddenly, there was a “ding” sound from her cell phone.
Her heartbeat suddenly accelerated and she secretly moved her phone aside and glanced at it.
It was a message from Tina, "Joyce is already next door. I'm leaving now."
"Good." Charlotte replied to the message.
She took a deep breath to calm her indignation.
In fact, she bribed Tina, the designer responsible for fitting Joyce's clothes today, and asked her to find an excuse to bring Joyce the box next to where they were meeting. The soundproofing was just average and, not surprisingly, Joyce could definitely faintly hear them talking.
Fortunately, probably Joyce did not hear what Luther said just now.
Next, she had to carry on with the acting.
She feigned disorientation and stood up, "I'm sorry, I didn't expect to cause so much trouble for everyone. It's all my fault, I …"
She pretended she couldn't go on, choking on a sob.
Jacqueline finally pressed on and came out to round things up.
"Don't listen to his nonsense. He did it on impulse. Luther and Joyce were only married under false pretenses, after Stephanie became ill with terminal lung cancer, and he did it only to make her happy. He has always been a good boy. I will talk to him later."
"I heard that Stephanie left half of her shares to Joyce, and it seems that Stephanie is very happy with Joyce." Cecelia suddenly snapped.
Stephanie was murdered and the Warner family got into almost a war for those shares left behind, which she was naturally aware of.
She also understood why Jacqueline was anxious to get rid of Joyce. Except for the marriage with the Heath family, it was more for Jacqueline's own sake, so that she could get the shares back.
The prerequisite for taking back the shares was to break up Joyce and Luther.
