Joyce’s long eyelashes slightly raised, her sharp eyes narrowed, and she carefully looked at the two in front of her, only to find that Jacqueline did not look good. There was no luster in her skin, and her thick foundation failed to hide the dark circles under the eyes.
She laughed heartily. It seemed that Jacqueline had been up all night, must have been contacting all parties, drawing up divorce papers, and was so impatient that she came to the guardhouse at dawn.
Joyce took the divorce papers, flipped through them briefly, and asked, "Why didn't he come in person?"
"My brother never wants to see you again, a woman with a heart like a snake, sign them now." Shelly said impatiently, "My brother grew up closest to his grandmother, you killed her, and you expect him to forgive you? Don't dream, don't think my brother will still protect you, my brother hates you so much, if he hadn't looked the other way and led the wolf into the house, Grandma wouldn't have died so badly!"
Joyce turned the divorce papers to the last page and saw that Luther had not signed them.
A moment of doubt crossed her mind, had Luther already got back from Mufron? So soon?
Well, if Luther came back at the first time after he knew about Stephanie's death, it was about the time.
"Isn't there a divorce cooling-off period? What's the point of signing the agreement alone when you need to apply first?" Joyce put the divorce agreement on the table and asked indifferently. If it was that simple, she and Luther would have divorced before.
"Don't bother. You are now a suspect, killing Grandma for the sake of the inheritance. I have already contacted the director of the Civil Affairs Bureau to grant special treatment, so you can directly agree to divorce. Now, you just need to sign, and you don't need to ask about the rest." Jacqueline ruffled the hair hanging down by her ears and made a gesture.
Last night she had done all the work. Now, as long as Joyce signed the documents, she would try to get Luther to sign, and the marriage would be completely over.
"Oh, I want to remind you that this divorce agreement is only for the property relationship between Luther and me, and I had originally signed a prenuptial agreement, and Luther's property has nothing to do with me. The divorce agreement doesn't have any semblance of validity to the contents of Grandma's will." Joyce pointed out nonchalantly.
She thought that Jacqueline and Shelly both should be more concerned about Stephanie's shares.
The mention of Stephanie's shares was tantamount to poking Jacqueline in the heart, and she blushed even harder.
"You're a murderer, a tampered will is not legally valid, and you won't get a single share of Stephanie's shares!" Shelly raised her voice and cursed indignantly.
"You know very well in your heart that I am not a murderer, and I didn't change the will. Unless some people, they want to make me a murderer." Joyce's hawk-like eyes shot straight into Jacqueline's eyes, as if she wanted to see through her completely.
Such a stern look in Jacqueline's eyes made her feel scared and embarrassed that she had nothing to hide. How was it possible that Joyce already knew that she was behind the operation? She had done a seamless job, there was no flaw, how could Joyce find out the clues?
Jacqueline cleared her throat, avoiding Joyce's fire-like gaze and feigning composure.
"Cut the crap! Just hurry up and sign the divorce papers."
"As you wish!" Joyce picked up her pen with alacrity.
