Wrong marriage and sweet love (Joyce and Luther)
Chapter 1759: The Fortunate Misfortune

Chapter 1759: The Fortunate Misfortune

As early summer gradually arrived, the days became longer.

At six o'clock, the evening sun and the red glow still hung in the sky, casting a beautiful hue over everything.

Room 708 on the seventh floor of Cloud Land.

Joyce arrived early and sat in the private room. The window displayed a stunning sunset, with the lingering rays of sunlight shining upon her, giving her a radiant glow.

She absentmindedly gazed at the passing cars outside the window. The soundproofing of the private room was excellent, and she couldn't hear any noise from the outside world. Her inner peace was astonishing.

She knew that Luther must have received her call and heard her confession, which is why he remained silent for so long.

The situation was far more serious than she had imagined, and she couldn't stay on the sidelines any longer.

Darrin accompanied her tonight, but he didn't enter the private room. Instead, he stayed outside, protecting her. Beforehand, Darrin skillfully inspected all the equipment and corners of the private room to prevent anyone from tracking their movements or eavesdropping.

A few minutes before six o'clock.

The door of the private room was opened from the outside, and Vicki and Felix entered one after another.

With just one glance, Joyce could tell that the atmosphere between them was different from before. The main difference was Felix, whose affectionate gaze couldn't be concealed. Joyce couldn't help raising an eyebrow. Had something happened between the two of them?

After entering the private room, Felix took the initiative to pull out a chair for Vicki. Unexpectedly, Vicki stepped on the chair leg with one foot and said, "No need, I can do it myself." With that, Vicki kicked the chair away and sat down.

Felix couldn't help but facepalm at Vicki's bold and heroic demeanor. Vicki was Vicki because she was so unique and different from everyone else.

Joyce smiled and said, "Well, Mr. Saunders, you seem to be in a good mood."

Felix took a seat and wore a smile. "Of course, Vicki and I got married today." He couldn't contain his excitement and had wanted to announce it to the world. He had admired Luther for a long time, and now that he had just gotten married, he naturally wanted to tell Joyce first.

Joyce was momentarily stunned, as she hadn't expected their relationship to progress so quickly. She had heard that they were somewhat ambiguous with each other, but in the blink of an eye, they had even obtained a marriage certificate. It was like lightning speed.

She quickly reacted and smiled. "Oh, congratulations. This is a momentous occasion. Make sure to invite me to the wedding."

Just as Joyce finished speaking, Vicki smoothly continued, "There won't be a wedding. Don't wait for it." Felix, "..."

He knew it would be like this. He actually wanted a grand wedding. Obviously, Vicki wasn't interested. He had already pushed his luck by getting married today, so he couldn't push it further. When it came to the wedding, they would discuss it slowly when Vicki was in a better mood.

Damn it, weddings are usually something women look forward to, but now he was the one who wanted it.

Felix coughed lightly. "We moved back to the Saunders family. We're not considering a wedding for now. Everyone already knows, so it's fine. Besides, you and Luther didn't have a wedding either. When do you plan to have one?"

Joyce's expression momentarily showed a hint of melancholy. Yes, Luther had always intended to have a wedding. However, he had been busy with the warlord situation and was currently pregnant with twins. The wedding had been postponed time and time again.

A more difficult issue was Luther's poisoning and her daughter whom she had never met.

As she thought about it, her mood grew low, and her heart sank bit by bit.

Vicki furrowed her brow slightly, seemingly sensing that Joyce's expression wasn't right.

She pushed Felix lightly and said, "We're here to discuss important matters. Let's not talk about useless things."

As Vicki raised her hand, Joyce narrowed her eyes, sensing that something was wrong. "Vicki, is your arm injured? What happened? Is it serious?"

Felix anxiously held Vicki's arm. "Be careful, don't hit it. After all, it's a gunshot wound."

Joyce furrowed her brow. "Gunshot wound? Is it related to OGW?"

She had already guessed it.

Vicki nodded, confirming Joyce's suspicions.

With a deep breath, Joyce said, "As expected. OGW has started to take action."

Vicki placed her injured arm on the table. "It's just a minor injury, it's fine. Tell me, since you took theinitiative to contact me, there must be something urgent and important."

Joyce nodded. "Alright, let me briefly explain the situation. We can exchange our information."

After about an hour, Joyce recounted everything she knew about the situation.

At the same time, Vicki shared any relevant information she had.

Felix also talked about Luther's contact with him and the tasks he had been assigned.

After they all finished speaking, they came to a unanimous conclusion.

Vicki summarized, "It's clear that Alisha is currently in Athena's hands. Based on the tasks Luther assigned to Felix, we can make the following conclusions. First, Luther's movements are definitely restricted. Normally, no one can restrict him unless they have a significant threat to his loved ones, in this case, Alisha. Second, it's certain that Luther is planning to rescue Alisha. Based on the anesthesia and detonator unlocking mechanism he needs, we can deduce..."

Before Vicki could finish her sentence, Joyce smoothly continued, "We can deduce that Athena has implanted a detonator in Alisha's body. That's the fundamental reason why Luther is being hindered." After speaking, Joyce clenched her fist tightly, almost crushing the teacup in her hand.

"Damn it!" Felix exclaimed, his voice filled with anger. "Damn Athena, she's a snake! To do something so vicious to a four-year-old child, she's worse than an animal!"

Vicki furrowed her eyebrows. "It was my carelessness. I should have discovered that Alisha was being hidden by Athena earlier. If I had, things wouldn't have developed to the current situation."

Joyce took a deep breath. "How can you blame yourself? You've already done so much to help. At least now we've clarified the situation. What we need to do now is to discuss how to assist Luther in rescuing Alisha."

"What about Luther's poisoning?" Felix suddenly asked.

Joyce's breath hitched, and her emotions became even more desolate. Even if they successfully rescued Alisha, there was still the matter of Luther being infected with the bio-toxin. They had no clue how to handle it. The unknown fear made her deeply afraid.

Vicki rubbed her temples. "We'll tackle one thing at a time. Let's save the child first."

Felix sighed. "That's all we can do."

Joyce rested her chin on her hand, looking increasingly desolate.

She was left with such a difficult choice. Her current energy could only be focused on rescuing Alisha. Her daughter, whom she hadn't seen since she gave birth... Confirming that Alisha was still alive was a fortunate misfortune.
