It was too unbelievable for him to believe. He could never do such a thing. There must be a mistake, or someone had tampered with his cell phone.
His tone was detached and freezing cold.
Joyce's heart "stuttered", she always felt that something was wrong with him. The way he looked at her brought her back to the first time she met him.
Previously Aaron was not clear on the phone. He told her Luther had some abnormalities and said nothing more than that.
And she had no idea what's wrong with Luther.
"Are you okay? Is there something wrong with your health?" Joyce thought for a while and decided to say something about his health. After asking, she felt annoyed, since she was going to leave his life completely. Why would she even bother to have that much involvement with this man. She should be just visiting him like any friend and said nothing more.
"Forget it. I can see you are in good shape. Definitely nothing is wrong. Then I will go first." She didn't wait for his answer and added directly.
The man in front of her had always been quite moody, and sometimes she could not understand what was on his mind at all.
She whirled around, thinking she better leave while she could.
"Wait." Luther, however, suddenly spoke up to stop her.
Joyce froze and subconsciously stopped in her tracks.
"Joyce, you are more tactful than I thought. What a surprise." Luther placed his long arms on the back of the sofa chairs, and his legs folded, looking like some proud emperor, "I thought that your ambition is just a mere 800,000, it seems that I was very wrong."
"What?" Joyce looked back, thinking she had heard it wrong, "800,000?"
She didn't understand what he was doing to bring up the 800,000 thing. It had been well in the past, and she had already paid it off.
