"So, do I have beautiful eyes? Have you been charmed by me?" He smiled wickedly.

At this time, she would have to admit, his eyes were indeed very beautiful. Joyce had seen them before actually, but she never had a chance to take a close look. Now that the two of them were so close, she marveled at how unusual they really were. They were cocoa-colored at the first glance, but when she took a closer look, they seemed a bit purple in a mysterious way, and it was like they were actually two bottomless black holes that could suck her into the abyss.

"What exactly is it that you want from me? You are certainly not here just to show me your eyes. Tell me what's going on." Joyce looked impatient, "I really have to get back to work. Get out of the way."

"Work?"

Christian laughed openly as if he had heard a funny joke, "What do you want when you work so hard for Luther? I heard he's getting engaged? The invitations have been received by all the powerful people in high society. Poor you, you're still working for him? You don't look like you're out of your mind, do you?"

"It's my business, it's none of your business."

Joyce frowned. Just now Justin had asked her to think about the future, and now Christian mentioned it again.

"I warned you a long time ago. I asked you to leave Luther, and the Warner family is not for you, and Luther is no good. Look, you were first framed by Shelly, and then wrongly accused of killing Stephanie, and then you were kidnapped, and then your fake marriage was exposed, and then everyone knew you are pregnant and the baby has nothing to do with Luther. The first thing you need to do now is to get married. It would be better to be with me earlier. I'm not going to put you through this." Christian wiggled his fingers and counted them one by one for Joyce to hear.

Joyce didn't say anything. It's really hard to explain all the mess.

"I don't think the baby in your belly is Justin's." Christian narrowed his phoenix eyes, and a brilliant light passed under his eyes. Joyce remained silent.

"It can't be, it's Luther's child. But Luther himself does not know?" He ventured a hypothetical guess.

Joyce's breathing tightened sharply, and her pupils contracted.

This small action fell into Christian's eyes. He was extremely perceptive, and he instantly understood.

Interesting, things were getting interesting.

"Why are you so interested in my affairs? What exactly are you up to?"

Joyce adjusted for a moment to regain her composure, and she asked indifferently.

Although Christian had not harmed her so far, and he even helped her through Vicki when she was in the detention center.

She of course remembered favors, and what she owed Christian she would think of a way to pay him back later.

Only, now she did not want to get too much involvement with him before she was clear about his purpose.

"Would you believe me if I say I want nothing from you?" Christian laughed.

"Since you want nothing, I can go now?"

Joyce got a little angry and shook off his blocking arm, breaking free from the shackles. Her patience was also nearing its limit.

Just at the moment she turned away from him.

Christian's low voice rang out, seemingly from the underworld.

"I heard that you were investigating Charlotte?"

Joyce froze on her track entirely. She could not hide the shock from her exquisite face.

She was indeed investigating Charlotte, but even Luther didn't know about it. The only person who knew about it was Karl, and now Christian, to his surprise, also knew about it. How was it possible?

"I have information about her right-hand man, Ricky, would you be interested in knowing?"

Christian leaned neatly against the railing, his voice lazy to the extreme.
