She wanted to come forward and touch his arm.
But under his cold gaze, she thought better of it.
She withdrew her hand in dismay.
"I've always loved you, and my marriage with Otis was forced upon me. If Mr. Warner could just forget about the past, I … I could get a divorce right away. Anything you want, I can give you ..."
"What do you think am I missing?"
Luther decided to listen to what she was trying to say.
What did he even need? All the things in this world were now just dust to him, and he only needed Joyce.
In this life, he didn’t want anything except for Joyce's love.
Since he did not say anything, Charlotte’s eyes glowed with hope and greed.
She would do anything for Luther if he really would like to accept her again.
She had wanted to get rid of Otis for a long time.
"Mr. Warner is naturally not short of money. However, you always want something as a human being. Mr. Warner, you should know that by marrying me, Otis will later inherit the rank of Major. Originally … this position was yours." Her voice got slightly agitated.
Luther glanced at Charlotte, "I'm not interested."
He knew that according to the rules of the Heath family, as long as he could pass the test, he could inherit the position.
Charlotte herself did not have the ability for a Major, so it was Otis' turn.
"Mr. Warner, what do you think about the governor? And the congressman? A man with Mr. Warner's wealth and ability would not be out of place to be elected president. Mr. Warner, the Heath family have the strength to do it, and you understand."
The more Charlotte talked, the more excited she got.
In fact, before coming to the Capital, she had little contact with the internal affairs of the military.
And she had no idea that the Heath family had all the power in the world.
Prior to the constitutional reform, Pascaylia was controlled by the military, while the Heath family controlled the military.
