Her words stopped abruptly.
Because her eyes rested on Joyce and couldn't move any further.
Today, Joyce wore no makeup, but her well-shaped lips were extraordinarily red, which almost hurt her eyes. This was not the color of lipstick at all. Her lips were red and swollen, which was caused by repeated kissing and rubbing. No one could know about that any better than she did.
Charlotte's eyes moved down along her neckline.
It was not just her lips, to her surprise. There were faint red marks on Joyce's jaw, cheeks, ears, neck, and just everywhere. The marks were clearly distinct and the color was bright! They must have been left on her body not long ago.
More importantly, when she got a little closer. She could smell a fragrance that definitely did not belong to Joyce. It belonged to a man! It was Luther!
Luther did not answer his phone and he disappeared when the engagement ceremony was about to begin. To her surprise, was he with Joyce? And the two had done that kind of thing? Just before their engagement ceremony?
Charlotte was so shocked. Endless anger came up and completely overwhelmed her reason. How could she allow it that Joyce still had sex with Luther just before her engagement? This was more than just humiliation to her.
The last time Joyce and Luther stayed overnight in the Seaside Town and were photographed by reporters in the morning. It was a blatant provocation already when Joyce answered the phone for Luther.
Meanwhile, since she was hospitalized, Luther had not even visited her once in the hospital.
For the big picture though, she gritted her teeth and bore it all.
However, she also heart that, when Joyce was hurt by Shelly and hospitalized, Luther not only personally sent Joyce to the hospital, but he also visited her the next day.
The stark contrast was driving her crazy.
