Joyce frowned, "Well, his does have almost unparalleled power. But after all, that’s just almost. He could never get above General Ralph. I was once in his car and heard Cecelia calling him. He was so respectful, a completely different person from his usual self. And I have heard that because he is not a Heath after all, and he will never be a general, and only if he and Charlotte have a child, their child can inherit that position later."
"You mean that Otis has been acting for so long that he doesn't want to act anymore? He wants to take down the Heath family and take over the whole military, and then he can be whatever he wants to be? He can even be a general comfortably?" Juanita asked as she took a sip of her juice.
"Is it possible? These are all our guesses, and it can be very difficult for him to do that."Joyce frowned and shook her head, "The Heath family has been there for over a hundred years with generations of generals. Otis's really vicious."
"Did you say Otis didn't like Charlotte? He married Charlotte, too, just to move up the ladder. Charlotte was not happy about their marriage either, and married him because he must have gotten a hold of her." Juanita took another sip of her juice, and suddenly her eyes lit up, "Could it be that Otis has now been so tired of Charlotte, and he simply wants to take down the Heath family, so that he can also divorce Charlotte. Perhaps he has his eye on another woman?"
"It's not necessary. Is he going to all that trouble just for this?" Joyce frowned and shook her head.
Karl's face was black and he slapped the desk. He just said that Otis was laundering money and that was because he was buying arms and he needed a lot of cash, and these two women did have quite a wild imagination.
"Well. Let’s get back to the topic, and there's no evidence or indication right now that Otis is going to do anything." He said with a serious face, "Whatever Otis is going to do, it's certainly nothing good. We are certainly right to stop it as early as possible."
"How do we stop it?" Juanita asked, puzzled.
"Stop Otis from laundering money?" Joyce asked.
"Right. " Karl nodded and gave Joyce a serious look, "That’s right."
