He looked around, but unfortunately, the corridor was empty, so was the emergency staircase. There were many rooms on both sides, so he had no idea where she could be hiding, or which shortcut did she take and left.

Just now, she said those inexplicable words and left without explaining herself.

No, he must find her and ask her what she meant by that.

He went down from the third floor directly to the first floor.

Jacqueline saw him come down and hurriedly got up from the ground. She went up and grabbed his arm and looked upstairs repeatedly.

"Where's Joyce? Why are you the only one down here? Where is she? Didn't you catch her? You let her get away?" Jacqueline asked anxiously.

Luther did not answer her. He walked up, squatted down and gently nudged Charlotte, who was lying on the ground at the moment, "Wake up, can you still hold on?"

Charlotte's face was pale from her blood loss. She looked in pain, and she felt weak and feeble entirely. She slowly opened her eyes and answered in an almost inaudible voice, "I can."

Jacqueline immediately tried to reassure her, "The ambulance will be here soon."

"You must not sleep, hold on." Luther said to Charlotte.

"Hmm." Charlotte nodded her head with difficulty.

Immediately after, Luther got up and told Jacqueline, "You talk to her more and don't let her fall asleep."

With that, he was about to stride away.

Jacqueline hauled him off, "Where are you going? The police will be here soon. Where's Joyce? Did you really let her go?"

Luther was distracted, "I'll take care of it. I'll go find her now."

"Hey, forget it, the police will be looking for her if she runs away. Why are you still going." Jacqueline dragged him hard, "Now Charlotte is in such a big accident, why don't you stay by her side and comfort her. God, what a sin! I didn't expect that Joyce would be so ruthless. Is a child of the Warner family... Oooh ..."

Jacqueline couldn't help but sob. With Luther here, she could feel a lot more at ease, and finally had someone she could rely on.

Luther brushed Jacqueline's hand off hard, "You can take care of her, and I'm going out."

"You're crazy. Do you still have Joyce on your mind at a time like this?!" Jacqueline was about to collapse. Today she felt humiliated enough, but Luther had to leave his fiancée in a pool of blood and go after Joyce?

Jacqueline spoke so loudly that Charlotte, who was lying on the floor, naturally heard her.

Charlotte was in pain and her strength seemed to be drained. She could not even have the strength to feel angry, but still, she nearly lost her mind due to her fury. Luther actually wanted to leave her and go after Joyce?

She stretched out her hands, trying hard to move herself and to stop him, but she could only scratch feebly with her feeble hands, leaving a bright red five-finger mark on the ground. All in vain.

"Charlotte, are you all right? You must not move, hold on a little longer!" Jacqueline knew Charlotte must have been irritated and she jumped to her feet in anxiety.

It's over! It's over! Today's engagement ceremony was now only a joke.

Unfortunately, there was nothing she could do to stop Luther, and she could only watch as Luther parted the crowd and ran out.

The crowd was talking and people were looking at each other more and more strangely.

Luther was about to run to the door when suddenly, strange noises rang out in the hall.

The volume was loud enough for everyone present to hear clearly.

It was the shouting of a woman and the raspy gasping of a man overlapping in a rather obscene way.
