Chapter 248
Karl finished the press conference and left straight from backstage.
Joyce and Luther watched the entire live broadcast from the lounge next to the press conference site.
She feels extraordinarily relieved that from today, she was no longer out on bail, but had been released without charge. Although the community might still have objections, time will prove to them that she had a clear conscience.
Luther sat on the sofa and sipped his tea with a calm demeanor.
Karl pushed open the door to the lounge and prepared to pack up and return to the police station.
When Joyce saw Karl walk in, she hurriedly stood up to thank him, “Officer Karl, thank you so much for this time. Thank you for your hard work.”
“It’s just my duty. Thanks to your resourcefulness, you know how to wait until such strong evidence could really work, otherwise, it would take some time to get your freedom.” When Karl saw Joyce today, he felt that she was shining brightly. Although she did not lose her pride when she was down and out, she was not frightened, she had never been as bright and shining as today.
Appreciation crossed his eyes and he did not hide his amazement.
Luther raised his eyes and glanced at Karl’s astonished gaze, his heart flushed with displeasure. He stood up from the sofa, swept Joyce into his arms, and said to Karl, “Thank you Officer Karl for your dedication to helping my wife. If there should be anything Officer Karl needs, just ask.”
Joyce gave Luther a slightly annoyed glare, what was he talking about? Karl was clearly not helping her for any benefit.
Luther did not pay attention to her but instead hugged her tighter as if swearing his sovereignty.
Joyce couldn’t move and just smiled awkwardly.
Karl looked down, snorted lightly, and when he looked up, he looked directly at Luther and said meaningfully, “The police department does its part, so we should do our best. The rest is the family business of the Warner family. I hope Luther handles his own family business properly. Protect the people who should be protected.”
The implication was that the problem of the family was exactly the cause of this case. If not for Luther’s failure to protect Joyce, Joyce would not have ended up in this situation.Please check at N/ôvel(D)rama.Org.
He looked disdainful and picked up his bag, “I’ll go first, there’s still something going on at the police station.”
He said, turned around, and walked away.
“You!” Luther was retorted by Karl, and his heart nestled inside. Surprisingly, he accused him of not protecting Joyce.
But when he thought about Karl, he just got a feeling that the background behind him must not be so simple.
“He is not an ordinary police officer. He was able to use unusual connections to solve the problem for you. In other words, ordinary police officers simply can’t do it.” Luther said it seemed that he would need to know Karl’s background.
“Yeah?” Joyce looked at Karl’s back in confusion.
“Don’t meet him for nothing in the future!” Luther’s voice got a few degrees colder.
“Why? I haven’t thanked him properly yet.” Joyce’s beautiful eyes were wide open, unable to understand.
“If I say don’t see it, you just don’t see it! There is no reason! Are you stupid? Can’t you see that he’s looking at you in an unusual way?” He was annoyed, she was really attracting all those unnecessary butterflies and causing trouble everywhere.
“Luther, I think you’re out of your mind?! We talked about business matters, and when I was at the police station, I was questioned by another officer, and if he hadn’t stepped in to help, I don’t know what the outcome would have been.”
“So why is he leaning in to help? There must be something wrong with it.”
“You’re unbelievable.” Joyce felt like she was getting mad at him.
