Chapter 82
The box.
The warm yellow lights made the atmosphere even darker.
The colleagues of the project team took turns singing songs, and they were so engrossed that they seemed to forget everything around them.
Occasionally, a waiter would bring an exquisite fruit plate with all kinds of rare and expensive fruit cuts. It was just Club Haven!
Riveria Haze was a formal venue for high-end parties, while Club Haven, part of the same group, was a private venue for high class gatherings.Content © copyrighted by NôvelDrama.Org.
The last time the Heath family hosted a dinner here at Riveria Haze, Charlotte made her debut in high society and before the public.
Now Luther was throwing a celebration for Joyce at Club Haven, which was quite a big deal.
Charlotte’s heart was frenzied with jealousy. The first sign that a man was in love with a woman was his willingness to throw his money away for her. She didn’t have time to wait, and if she waited any longer, Luther would fall for this woman without realizing it.
After seeing Lauren leave, Joyce approached Charlotte as if she had something to say.
Charlotte moved to the side to give Joyce a place beside her.
She gently patted the seat beside her and gave Joyce a soft smile, “Sit down.”
This was just Charlotte. She was extremely good at disguise. She could change her face in a second and would do anything to achieve her goal. She has a high enough EQ to endure it all.
Joyce sat down and said directly, “I’m sorry, I didn’t mean to do that. I think you should have heard Shelly mention that Luther and I were actually only married under false pretenses, and it was to make Grandma happy in the beginning, and the matter would have been resolved soon. I didn’t expect it to be exposed, and now I’m in a dilemma. I’m really sorry.”
Charlotte affectionately took Joyce’s hand and placed it on her lap.
She looked at Joyce with “sincerity” in her eyes, “I’m glad you said that to me. I know how difficult it is for you, don’t worry, I don’t mind. I can also wait.”
“Hmm.” Joyce nodded, although Charlotte showed her generosity and acted close to her.
But for some reason, she always felt that she couldn’t understand what was on her mind.
Even if Charlotte always looked so kind, she felt it difficult to really approach her.
That’s why, although they grew up together in the orphanage, they were never really close.
It always seemed like there was something separating them.
Right now, there was a hint of awkwardness between the two.
Joyce breathed a sigh of relief, “It’s good that you trust me. I will find a way to settle this as soon as possible.” She glanced at Charlotte’s still-flat belly, “You have to be able to wear the wedding dress. It’s a lot of work for you.”
Charlotte smiled gently, “We have grown up together. Of course I know you.”
She stood up, turned her back, took two glasses from the bar behind her and poured herself a glass of orange juice and a glass of watermelon juice for Joyce.
Her sleeve gently shook, before the pill stolen from Lauren fell into the watermelon juice and instantly disappeared into the watermelon juice.
Then Charlotte turned around, sat back down, and handed Joyce the watermelon juice.
And she held the orange juice for her own.
“I see you don’t seem to drink all night, I get you watermelon juice.” Charlotte laughed, “I remember in the orphanage, every summer, you just loved watermelon. You always asked Rachel for more and share with.”
Joyce was dumbfounded. She took the watermelon juice. Yes, childhood, how good it was!
She did not expect Charlotte to even remember her past preferences.
