Female Novel
Chapter 457
For her absolute accuracy with her shots.
She didn’t need anyone, and she could ascend to the glory by herself.
The night before the final.
Justin asked her out.
She thought to herself that she couldn't avoid it, and that she should make it clear to him that she didn't
have love for him, but only saw him as a friend. It was something that was not going to change. He
should go back and inherit the Henderson Group instead of wasting his time on her.
However, none of them expected it.
It was this one meeting that changed everything that followed.
The venue of the Riverport World Championship was built somewhere halfway up a hill far away from
the center of the city. It had a large open area behind the venue, attached to a cliff halfway up the hill,
because it was also used for multi-directional flying disc competitions. Apparently, it was quite
dangerous, and there was a long fence surrounding the area and usually no one went there.
She did not expect that she would be targeted just after she arrived at the back of the mountain. Two
men in black, with knives in their hands, stopped her way. She was unprepared and did not bring
anything to defend herself, and was chased by the men in black all the way to near the cliff.
At this moment, Justin got there just in time. He chased those thugs away, but before that, she was
forced to retreat by the men in black and was already hanging on the edge of the cliff. In order to save
her, he pulled her up with all his might, but he was hit by those thugs and slipped off the cliff.
Eventually, those thugs retreated in a hurry.
There was a protective net below the cliff, Justin survived, but unfortunately his legs hit the boulders
protruding from the cliff and were seriously injured.
The hospital near the competition site was not equipped for professional first aid, and when Justin was
rescued, he had to be taken far away to the capital for emergency surgery.
The final was the next day, and she had no choice but to give up the finally and accompany Justin in
the ambulance.
But even so, after the surgery, Justin wasn't able to stand up.
And it was only then that she learned.
Before she met with Justin, he had already broken up with the Henderson family.
Because of her, because Justin insisted on not marrying her, he had a quarrel with Garrett, and Justin
was so furious that he left the Henderson family.
However, at this time, Justin fell off a cliff to save her and broke both legs.
After the incident, the World Shooting Championships committee claimed that the assailant was
Joyce's competition rival, the shooting star from Mufron. They said he was jealous of Joyce's talent, so
he hired someone to hurt Joyce, intended to prevent Joyce from participating in the final.
In the end, the Mufron shooter who hired someone to hurt Joyce was stripped of his gold medal and
sentenced to three years in prison, receiving the punishment she deserved.
However, Justin had never been able to stand up again.
After returning home, Justin was devastated by the double blow, and she never returned to the
shooting camp because she felt guilty and was afraid he would be hurt by the situation.novelbin
After that, she rented an apartment, worked half-time, and studied half-time, taking care of Justin and
raising money for his surgery, hoping that one day she could cure his legs and get him back on his feet.
"Joyce," Justin called out softly.
His voice woke Joyce up from the memories of the past.
She looked up blankly, her eyes fixed on him.
She thought that the pain was behind her.
Could it be that, in the past, there was something else that she did not know?
