Chapter 822

Otis was at first mildly surprised to see Luther.

He put down the glass in his hand and rested it on the coffee table, his hand still resting on Joyce's

shoulder. With a provocative gaze, he looked directly at Luther.

It's the first time he's officially met with Luther since the project began.

For Luther, once his wife Charlotte's fiancé, he was of course well aware of his wealth and many other

details. He was the richest man in the country, handsome and dashing, and that's why Charlotte had

been thinking about him all the time.

Of course, he also knew that Charlotte’s scandal was exposed in the engagement party and her

engagement with Luther was annulled. As a result, the construction project was also put on hold for anovelbin

long time.

Now, the construction project owned by the two families in the Capital had restarted and they would

have to work together.

He and Luther were not much involved in the preparation work, so they had never officially met. But

sooner or later, they would have to meet. He knew Luther was at the Artificial Intelligence Summit, and

he did see Luther a few times from afar.

He never thought that their first official meeting would be on such an occasion and in such a way.

A cold smile curled up over Otis' lips.

What? Luther seemed to be interested in Joyce too?

So he had to rush in even at the risk of offending him?

He wanted to see what Luther wanted to do, and whether he dared to fall out with him. In the Capital,

though money was still important, money was not everything. Power was more important.

Otis spoke up first, his voice calm yet provocative enough.

"Oh, could you be the famous Mr. Warner? Why didn’t you call me when you came to the Capital? So

that I can do my best to welcome you myself. What happened tonight, and Mr. Warner would have to

suddenly barge into my box?"

With that, Otis shot a wink at Eugene and shook his head gently.

He was telling Eugene not to stop Luther no matter what he did later.

He would like to see what this Mr. Warner could actually do.

When Luther rushed in and saw what happened, he was so furious that he almost lost his sanity.

Especially when he saw Otis' hand resting on her shoulders, a blazing fire seemed to be burning in his

chest and his body was ignited entirely.

He clenched his fists, his knuckles "clucked" a few times, and he frowned deeply.

He wanted to rush in and smash his fist into Otis' evil, disgusting face. He wanted to teach this man a

lesson.

However, the remaining shred of sanity told him that he could not turn the tables on Otis just yet.

He took several deep breaths and tried to calm down.

When Joyce saw Luther, she duly removed Otis' hand from her shoulders. How did Luther know she

was at Nine Up?

It was incredible. She didn't tell anyone.

If there was an argument between the two of them now, it would be detrimental to her plans, too.

But for a moment, she didn't know what to say or do to reconcile the conflict.

She sure understood Luther wouldn’t be able to bear such a thing.

Luther took a few deep breaths and finally held it back.

To Joyce’s surprise, he put on a warm smile instead, “I'm new to the Capital and haven't had a chance

to meet Mr. Robertson yet, but I just heard that Mr. Robertson is on the top floor here, so I am here to

say hello. I didn't expect Miss Knowles to be here. What a coincidence."

He walked in slowly. In his hand was the black suitcase taken from the trunk of the sports car.
