Chapter 1759: The Fortunate Misfortune

As early summer gradually arrived, the days became longer.

At six o'clock, the evening sun and the red glow still hung in the sky,casting a beautiful hue over everything.

Room 708 on the seventh floor of Cloud Land.

Joyce arrived early and sat in the private room. The window displayeda stunning sunset, with the lingering rays of sunlight shining upon her,giving her a radiant glow.

She absentmindedly gazed at the passing cars outside the window.The soundproofing of the private room was excellent, and she couldn'thear any noise from the outside world. Her inner peace wasastonishing.

She knew that Luther must have received her call and heard herconfession, which is why he remained silent for so long.

The situation was far more serious than she had imagined, and shecouldn't stay on the sidelines any longer.

Darrin accompanied her tonight, but he didn't enter the private room.Instead, he stayed outside, protecting her. Beforehand, Darrin skillfullyinspected all the equipment and corners of the private room to preventanyone from tracking their movements or eavesdropping.

A few minutes before six o'clock.

The door of the private room was opened from the outside, and Vickiand Felix entered one after another.

With just one glance, Joyce could tell that the atmosphere betweenthem was different from before. The main difference was Felix, whoseaffectionate gaze couldn't be concealed.

Joyce couldn't help raising an eyebrow. Had something happenedbetween the two of them?

After entering the private room, Felix took the initiative to pull out achair for Vicki. Unexpectedly, Vicki stepped on the chair leg with onefoot and said, "No need, I can do it myself."

With that, Vicki kicked the chair away and sat down.

Felix couldn't help but facepalm at Vicki's bold and heroic demeanor.Vicki was Vicki because she was so unique and different from everyoneelse.

Joyce smiled and said, “Well, Mr. Saunders, you seem to be in a goodmood."

Felix took a seat and wore a smile. "Of course, Vicki and I got marriedtoday.” He couldn't contain his excitement and had wanted to announceit to the world. He had admired Luther for a long time, and now that hehad just gotten married, he naturally wanted to tell Joyce first.

Joyce was momentarily stunned, as she hadn't expected theirrelationship to progress so quickly. She had heard that they weresomewhat ambiguous with each other, but in the blink of an eye, theyhad even obtained a marriage certificate. It was like lightning speed.She quickly reacted and smiled. "Oh, congratulations. This is amomentous occasion. Make sure to invite me to the wedding."

Just as Joyce finished speaking, Vicki smoothly continued, "Therewon't be a wedding. Don't wait for it."

Felix, ".."

He knew it would be like this. He actually wanted a grand wedding.Obviously, Vicki wasn't interested. He had already pushed his luck bygetting married today, so he couldn't push it further. When it came tothe wedding, they would discuss it slowly when Vicki was in a bettermood.

Damn it, weddings are usually something women look forward to, butnow he was the one who wanted it.

Felix coughed lightly. "We moved back to the Saunders family. We'renot considering a wedding for now. Everyone already knows, so it'sfine. Besides, you and Luther didn't have a wedding either. When doyou plan to have one?"

Joyce's expression momentarily showed a hint of melancholy. Yes,Luther had always intended to have a wedding. However, he had beenbusy with the warlord situation and was currently pregnant with twins.The wedding had been postponed time and time again.

A more difficult issue was Luther's poisoning and her daughter whomshe had never met.

As she thought about it, her mood grew low, and her heart sank bit bybit.

Vicki furrowed her brow slightly, seemingly sensing that Joyce'sexpression wasn't right.

She pushed Felix lightly and said, "We're here to discuss importantmatters. Let's not talk about useless things."

As Vicki raised her hand, Joyce narrowed her eyes, sensing thatsomething was wrong. "Vicki, is your arm injured? What happened? Isit serious?"

Felix anxiously held Vicki's arm. "Be careful, don't hit it. After all, it's agunshot wound."

Joyce furrowed her brow. "Gunshot wound? Is it related to OGW?"She had already guessed it.

Vicki nodded, confirming Joyce's suspicions.

With a deep breath, Joyce said, "As expected. OGW has started totake action.”

Vicki placed her injured arm on the table. "It's just a minor injury, it'sfine. Tell me, since you took theinitiative to contact me, there must besomething urgent and important.”

Joyce nodded. "Alright, let me briefly explain the situation. We canexchange our information.”

After about an hour, Joyce recounted everything she knew about thesituation.

At the same time, Vicki shared any relevant information she had.

Felix also talked about Luther's contact with him and the tasks he hadbeen assigned.

After they all finished speaking, they came to a unanimous conclusion.Vicki summarized, "It's clear that Alisha is currently in Athena's hands.Based on the tasks Luther assigned to Felix, we can make the followingconclusions. First, Luther's movements are definitely restricted.Normally, no one can restrict him unless they have a significant threatto his loved ones, in this case, Alisha. Second, it's certain that Luther isplanning to rescue Alisha. Based on the anesthesia and detonatorunlocking mechanism he needs, we can deduce..."

Before Vicki could finish her sentence, Joyce smoothly continued, "Wecan deduce that Athena has implanted a detonator in Alisha's body.That's the fundamental reason why Luther is being hindered.”

After speaking, Joyce clenched her fist tightly, almost crushing theteacup in her hand.

"Damn it!" Felix exclaimed, his voice filled with anger. "Damn Athena,she's a snake! To do something so vicious to a four-year-old child,she's worse than an animal!”

Vicki furrowed her eyebrows. “It was my carelessness. I should havediscovered that Alisha was being hidden by Athena earlier. If I had,things wouldn't have developed to the current situation.”

Joyce took a deep breath. "How can you blame yourself? You'vealready done so much to help. At least now we've clarified the situation.What we need to do now is to discuss how to assist Luther in rescuingAlisha."

"What about Luther's poisoning?" Felix suddenly asked.

Joyce's breath hitched, and her emotions became even more desolate.Even if they successfully rescued Alisha, there was still the matter ofLuther being infected with the bio-toxin. They had no clue how tohandle it. The unknown fear made her deeply afraid.

Vicki rubbed her temples. "We'll tackle one thing at a time. Let's savethe child first."

Felix sighed. "That's all we can do."

Joyce rested her chin on her hand, looking increasingly desolate.

She was left with such a difficult choice. Her current energy could onlybe focused on rescuing Alisha. Her daughter, whom she hadn't seensince she gave birth...

Confirming that Alisha was still alive was a fortunate misfortune.
