Chapter 827

Luther was so angry with her that he slammed his fist on the steering wheel.

He didn’t want to be angry with her, so he could only a few deep breaths to calm his mind.

How was it possible for him to please Otis?

He simply did not want to offend Otis now, and for good reason.

Since Joyce's accident, Charlotte had been protected by the military and even taken to the Capital.

No matter how much money he had, he could not interfere with the internal affairs of the military.

He still had no idea why Ricky was after Joyce. Of course, it certainly had something to do with

Charlotte, but what about all the other incidents?

The reason why he didn't fall out with Otis was because he wanted to get close to the military through

Otis.

The gold bars were prepared by him a long time ago and had been placed in the trunk of the sports car

all the time. They were intended to be a gift for Otis, and he just gave them to him earlier than

scheduled.

Joyce saw that he was angry and didn't say anything else.

Today, it's all because of her.

After all, he saved her and drank that glass of wine for her, and she shouldn't make him angry again.

When she thought about that glass of wine…

She looked sideways and quietly surveyed him.

She didn't dare to drink it because she thought there was something wrong with it, and he drank that

glass of wine for her

So far, it looked as if there was nothing wrong with the glass of wine. Could it be that she was

overthinking?

"Ahem." Joyce changed the topic, "Mr. Warner, how did you know I went to Nine Up Bar with Otis

today?"

Luther took a few deep breaths again to calm his furious heartbeat.

"I went to the construction site. You're gone."

"Oh."

Joyce realized that Eloise, the salesgirl on the construction site, had told Luther about her.

"What a coincidence that Mr. Warner is also visiting the plot today?" She gave a dry laugh.

That's a bit too much of a coincidence.

"It was Kane who called me." He gave her a sideways glance and glared at her.

"What!" Joyce was shocked that it was Kane who called Luther. She suddenly realized how worried

Kane must be after she had gone out to see Otis alone.

Kane had no choice but to call Luther.

She hurriedly took out her phone and sent a text message to Kane, "I am alright. Already back to the

hotel."

As expected, Kane replied in seconds.

"Great, Sister. Must have been a long day. Rest early."

Joyce rubbed her temples and sighed in relief.

Anyway, there was a satisfactory outcome to today's events.

Next, she should just stick to the plan step by step.

When Luther was driving the car, however, he felt so hot gradually.

He had some doubts within his heart. Could it be that he had just drunk too much wine? How was it

possible? He could not possibly get drunk just for a bottle of red wine.

He first took off his navy blue trench coat and tossed it to Joyce beside him.

Then he unbuttoned his suit.

The cool breeze blew in and he felt a lot more comfortable.

On the way, as he drove, he got hotter and hotter. He opened the roof of the sports car so that he could

get some fresh air.

When he got to the underground parking lot of the hotel and parked his car…

His back was even soaked with sweat.

Joyce finally noticed something unusual about him. His cheeks were unusually red, and she asked,

"What's wrong with you? Not feeling well?"

Luther shook his head, "No. It may be the wine."

They then got out of the car and into the elevator.novelbin

Luther obviously felt more and more uncomfortable, and his heart was beating faster and faster.

It could not be the wine, right? Was there something wrong with the wine?
