Luther was on the sidelines and had heard part of the conversation.
At this moment, his face looked like the last dull dark clouds before the storm and it seemed that he was about to say something.
He tried very hard to hold back his anger and did not storm out. After all, Anderson was home and he did not want to scare the child.
"Did Otis kill Mr. Walsh?" he asked.
"Hmm."
Joyce put her phone down and returned, "At seven, Otis called me and told me to go to Hotel Dragon and to read the morning news. That's why I left in a hurry."
She didn't mention that Mr. Walsh died in the exact same way as Stephanie, which would have revealed her identity.
"Mr. Walsh tried to kill you?" He asked again, "So Otis killed him before he could ever come for you?"
"Maybe, who knows if it is true." Joyce would love to pull back her hand, but it is held tightly by him, and he didn’t seem to be willing to let go.
"Otis is not to be messed with. From now on, you must stop contacting him immediately! I will pay for the breach of contract. No matter how much it will cost."
Luther jerked to his feet, and there was anger in his voice.
He took her hand and pulled her hard to himself.
It was a pair of intimidating black eyes, looking straight into her clear eyes. There were anger, fear, and other indefinable emotions.
Just now he actually heard that Otis coveted her and wanted to possess her. And she, knowing that there would be such a danger, still got close to that man audaciously.
Joyce got angry, "Mr. Warner, who are you to interfere in my private affairs. What right do you have to order me to break my contract?"
She sneered, "Who are you to me? I have to listen to you? Are you my boss? Or are you my parents and brothers? Don't forget, between you and me, there is nothing but a contract. Mr. Warner, don't take yourself too seriously. Yesterday, you were sick and I allowed you to stay here for the night. Now, immediately, please leave my home and go back to your own! If we have work-related matters, let's discuss them in detail in the office. Otherwise, please leave me alone."
She finished and shook off his hand with force.
