Damn Joyce, it's early morning back in the country, she didn't answer his calls all night, and now she's with another man.
"Sorry, you may have misunderstood. I'm Officer Karl from the Second Precinct of the Police Department," Karl explained, sensing Luther's strong hostility and jealousy.
"Second Precinct of the Police Department?" Luther remembered that Karl was the police officer who handled Lauren's case last time.
"What happened, and why do you have Joyce's phone?" At this moment, Luther's heart sank, and he immediately realized that something was not simple.
"Oh, it seems that your family did not inform you. How strange." Karl smiled inwardly. The complicated side of a wealthy family, which he knew all too well.
That's why he called Luther. It was time.
"Joyce, something's wrong?" Luther asked uncertainly, his eyes darkening and even his voice trembling. His brain almost stopped functioning.
"Your grandmother, Stephanie, died yesterday at 4:00 p.m. The cause of death is unknown at this time. Your wife’s cell phone is in my possession for the time being. I hope you will come to the police station as soon as possible. If you need to bail Joyce out, I can assist you with the process. Goodbye." Karl finished his sentence in one breath and hung up the phone without waiting for Luther to reply.
He had achieved his goal. He thought that there was no way Jacqueline would come forward to bail Joyce out. What he didn't expect was that they would hide even the news of Stephanie's death from Luther, and he didn't know what they were up to.
He did not want Joyce to stay in the detention center and suffer, so he had to inform Luther to bail Joyce out.
