After the auction hammer fell...
Joyce felt so relieved to stop the two of them from going crazy at the charity party.
She sat down smoothly in the seat next to Luther and gently patted her chest to smooth her breath.
She also heard all the chatter around her.
To be honest, she didn't expect that Luther would easily give up. With his financial power, it's not a matter of price.
She simply didn’t want them to make a scene with their bidding contest.
She glanced obliquely at Luther. He really was not what he used to be. If it were the old days, he would not have allowed such a
thing to happen, and even less willing to lose to Justin easily.
So, she was not wrong and he indeed just gave way to Justin.
At that moment, Justin, who was sitting in the front row, turned around coldly and looked directly at Luther.
When their eyes met, an inexplicable electricity was seen between them.
Suddenly, Justin got up, picked up the wine in front of him, and walked straight to Luther.
People around, whimpering and holding their breath, were wondering what would happen next, and everyone was both expectant
and nervous.
Luther gently wrinkled his eyebrows. He deliberately avoided Justin every time, and never wanted to have a head-on confrontation
with him.
It was his fault that Joyce fell off the cliff and he had been suffering from guilt. He also understood Justin's obsession and madness.
Now that he had found Joyce, he felt slightly better.
It was obvious that Justin must not have noticed the connection between Zora and Joyce.
He wouldn't told Justin about that either.

Only, he turned to Joyce in the end and smiled faintly.
Joyce was stunned that Justin was walking towards her. What was he going to do? She stared at him without opening her mouth.
"Miss Zora, I'm really sorry that you didn't get to work with me."
Justin raised his glass to her and there was a hint of sternness in his clear eyes, "lt seems that Miss Zora has chosen Mr. Warner."
Joyce bit her lip, so that was the reason why he had cfor her.
"I'm sorry, Mr. Henderson. | hope there will be opportunities in the future."
She shrugged her shoulders in apology.
Justin looked at her with a chilling gaze, knowing that now she was Zora, just an irrelevant woman in his eyes.
"It doesn’t matter."
Justin sneered a little.
Joyce looked at him, feeling slightly helpless.
She knew that Justin was going against Luther at every turn because he was so immersed in the sadness of her disappearance that
he couldn't get out.
She understood Justin, who was actually so fragile.
After Justin broke his legs, it took her more than two years to help him get out of the shadow and get back on his feet.
Right now, she could not expose herself yet, and could only watch him fall back into the shadow of the past.
In her heart, she was guilty.
Her hand, holding the red wine glass, gently lifted, "To Mr. Henderson."
Then she took a gentle sip.
As she put down her glass, her hand rested on the tabletop and she couldn't help but tremble.
Luther, sensing her difference, suddenly reached out and covered her cold, trembling fingers.
The hot sensation, which warmed her up all the way to the bottom of her heart, surprisingly had a reassuring feeling that made her
fingers stop shaking.
Justin turned to Luther at this point. He narrowed his eyes and stared at Luther's hand. His eyes now seemed as cold as ice.
"So Mr. Warner has a new love. It's only been four years."
He said those words between his teeth, "Of course, once upon a tMr. Warner didn't think much of her either."
