Otis surveyed Joyce's gorgeous face at the moment as he took a box of cigars out of his pocket and pulled one out.
Eugene caught a glimpse of it and immediately stepped forward to light the cigar for him.
The dimly lit box was dark.
The little scarlet flame jumped between Otis' fingers.
He closed his eyes and took a sharp breath.
He looked pretty satisfied.
The lingering smoke was exhaled slowly from his mouth, and eventually, he blew a wisp of smoke towards Joyce.
Joyce subconsciously averted her face. The smell of the cigar was too strong, she "coughed" twice and was almost choked by the smoke.
"Ms. Knowles wants sincerity, and I'll show you." He smiled sinisterly, with a touch of hostility.
Such a smile was even a little creepy.
Joyce felt a chill down her spine. What did he want? He sounded a bit unusual.
"I heard that Ms. Knowles was attacked last night after the dinner party? Have you found out who did it?" He took another puff of his cigar and spoke slowly.
"Not a big deal really. The problem had been solved, and no need for Mr. Robertson to worry about it." Joyce frowned.
She did not want to make things more complicated. There was no need to get more people involved in these matters.
"Huh. How dared him touch my woman?" A hint of bloodthirsty cruelty appeared in his eyes.
"Mr. Robertson, please watch your language." Joyce frowned. His woman? Not even in his dream!
"Huh. Want to give it a try?" Otis, who had been sitting on the couch, suddenly stood up at that moment and walked over to her. He handed her the lit cigar in his hand.
