It was too unbelievable for him to believe. He could never do such a thing. There must be a mistake, or someone had tampered with his cell phone. His tone was detached and freezing cold.

Joyce's heart "stuttered", she always felt that something was wrong with him. The way he looked at her brought her back to the first time she met him.

Previously Aaron was not clear on the phone. He told her Luther had some abnormalities and said nothing more than that.

And she had no idea what's wrong with Luther.

"Are you okay? Is there something wrong with your health?" Joyce thought for a while and decided to say something about his health. After asking, she felt annoyed, since she was going to leave his life completely. Why would she even bother to have that much involvement with this man. She should be just visiting him like any friend and said nothing more.

"Forget it. I can see you are in good shape. Definitely nothing is wrong. Then I will go first." She didn't wait for his answer and added directly.

The man in front of her had always been quite moody, and sometimes she could not understand what was on his mind at all.

She whirled around, thinking she better leave while she could.

"Wait." Luther, however, suddenly spoke up to stop her.

Joyce froze and subconsciously stopped in her tracks.

"Joyce, you are more tactful than I thought. What a surprise." Luther placed his long arms on the back of the sofa chairs, and his legs folded, looking like some proud emperor, "I thought that your ambition is just a mere 800,000, it seems that I was very wrong."

"What?" Joyce looked back, thinking she had heard it wrong, "800,000?"

She didn't understand what he was doing to bring up the 800,000 thing. It had been well in the past, and she had already paid it off.

"What? When you agreed to marry me under false pretenses, you asked for 500,000, and for Justin's hospitalization, you asked me for another 300,000, am I wrong?" Luther raised his eyebrows, "A mere 800,000, I'm afraid, is not really that much for your ambition. I didn't expect your ambition to be the shares of Grandma, and you even convinced the board. I really underestimated you."

Joyce could not keep her smile anymore. Her beautiful eyes raised a bit, and she found the whole thing hilarious. Perhaps he was indeed out of his mind. He did not say something like this before, and why now?

She bit her lip and snorted, "First of all, I paid the 800,000 back to you long ago. Now that you have mentioned it, it just so happens that I have kept the note around in my bag and not thrown it away." She threw her handbag on the coffee table, retrieved a slightly torn piece of paper from the pile, and threw it in front of Luther.

Luther took it with a frown.

What was written on that note did surprise him...

Now Luther received two payments from Joyce, totaling $800,000.

And below were the signatures of them both.

It was indeed his own handwriting. It seemed that he had forgotten too much.

"What? One step back today for two steps forward tomorrow?" He wasn't convinced.

Joyce looked disdainful and said sarcastically, "There seems to be a sieve in your mind, Mr. Warner."

She didn't bother to talk to him anymore, "Mr. Warner doesn't seem to be in trouble, and I should not have come. I'll just go first."

Indignantly lifting her bag, she added, "By the way, on the 18th of next month, we need to go the court to get a divorce certificate, please at least keep that in your mind!"

With that, she turned and left the ward, throwing open the door.

Inexplicably, she came to see him with good intentions but was humiliated for no reason.
