You Hit My Heart

You Hit My Heart By Kylie Stanford Chapter 12

Chapter 12

Married?This time it was Joyce’s turn to be surprised.She didn’t like the idea of being a third party in a fake marriage.Luther, still indifferent as ever, snorted lightly, “You don’t mean, the marriage contract with the Heath family?”Jacqueline nodded repeatedly, “That’s right, that year our family and Cecelia Hurley really agreed that the eldest son and daughter will be married later.”“But the daughter of the Heath family has been missing since she was a child, and the Heath family is known all over the world for not being able to find her,” Shelly interrupted.“The Heath family is really going to find their daughter this time. They have already got some clues they say.” Jacqueline said to Luther cautiously, “Luther, although our Warner family can be rich. After all, it was only business we deal with. The Heath family from the capital have firmly controlled the military power for a hundred years. You should understand the importance of this marriage. Marriage is not to be taken lightly?”“Wow, a daughter of the Heath family, even nobler than a real noble.” Shelly looked really envious this time. The Heath family was only second to the royal family when it came to power. It was no exaggeration to say the daughter of the Heath family was almost a princess.Luther was just about to speak.Joyce snaps, “I’m sorry, I didn’t know Luther has a marriage contract. If you want me to do anything about it, just say it.”Marriage between these two families, so they could have both wealth and power each. Were they planning to conquer the world? How could she just stand in their way?Luther plucked out a livid look at Joyce.When she heard Joyce’s words, Shelly finally saw the opportunity to do something. She immediately stepped forward and took Luther’s arm affectionately, “Brother, you should hurry up and divorce Joyce. Professor Owens’ project was invested by our family. No wonder she could get in, it was because of you, right? Brother, you have to help me get her out of this program.”“Ahem, you don’t mean Professor Owens’ automotive design program? I got in that program myself.”Joyce couldn’t resist interrupting and correcting her.This fake marriage and how she got into the program were two different things.“Stop it, who do you want me to blame for your not being good enough to get in?” Anyway, Luther still loved his sister.And that was why Shelly was always a bit arrogant. However, Luther knew that Professor Owens was an old-fashioned scholar who was so dedicated to academics and would not

do such a thing for money. Moreover, this vehicle design project led by Professor Owens was very important to R&S Group. For the company, it was nothing less than a key to the whole global market.He didn’t realize Joyce could be part of the project.There were just more and more interesting sides he could find from this Joyce.He just could not imagine how Joyce could be so good at academics.“Brother!” Shelly was so angry that she stomped her foot. How could she stay in school after this?“Luther, hurry up and get a divorce. You cannot hide it, and there will be more trouble if the media finds out.” Jacqueline worried.“You are leading a wolf into the house. You won’t be able to even get rid of her if you want to in the future. Brother, don’t be fooled by her.”…“Shut up, all of you!”They were all interrupted by the voice of an old lady. Despite the traces age had left on it, its former majesty was still undiminished.At the end of the living room, an old lady walked slowly over with a cane.Although her hair was already silver-white, her face full of wrinkles, Joyce could still see the grave fortitude in her heroic youth and imagine the stunning beauty she had when she was young.“Grandma, why are you out.” Luther rushed forward to hold her. He just loved his grandma so much.On the contrary, he did not much of a feeling for his biological mother Jacqueline.“I’m not dead yet. What, already thinking about dividing up the property?” Stephanie Chapman gave Jacqueline a fierce glare.“Mom, I didn’t mean it like that.” Jacqueline lost her breath at once.“I heard it all. Joyce is my granddaughter-in-law. If you don’t want to share the family with her, just don’t forget I still have some shares!” Stephanie raised her voice, exasperated.Joyce saw Stephanie’s face turn livid, so she went forward and said gently, “Grandma, you don’t look well, please don’t be angry. You must take care of yourself.”Stephanie held Joyce’s hand, looked at her kindly, and smiled with satisfaction, “You can stay here with no worries. With me here, no one dares to do anything to you.”“Yes, yes, yes.” Joyce nodded awkwardly.She grew up without a family, but Stephanie gave her a sense of kinship. She felt moved by her love.When she first agreed to the fake marriage, she simply hoped that Stephanie could have no regrets in this life.Jacqueline did not dare to say anything. Her mother-in-law Stephanie was one of the founders of the Warner family and owned ten times more shares than she did.“You guys! Are you all hoping for my early death?!”Stephanie stomped her cane hard and pointed angrily at Jacqueline, who

was just about to speak. However, Stephanie’s face suddenly turned pale and she fell upright to the ground.novelbin
