Justin's face turned gloomy and he turned to the staff and reprimanded, "This is my personal item. Did I allow you to bring it out for display? If I remember correctly, this cabinet should be displaying yellow diamonds."

The staff's voice trembled nervously, "Sorry, Mr. Henderson, we went to the bank vault this morning to pick up the goods, the list said blue ... blue diamonds. I'm sorry, Mr. Henderson, there must be a mistake somewhere."

It really wasn't her responsibility. They took the list to the Henderson family bank's private vault to withdraw the goods and the numbers were all correct.

Unless the number given to them was wrong to begin with.

Otherwise they could not even get the goods.

"Got it, I'll track it down. Such serious mistakes must not be allowed to be made again." Justin was not angry.

"I'm sorry, Mr. Henderson. I'll have the security company return the blue diamonds to the vault right away." The staff wiped the sweat on her forehead and returned with fear and trepidation.

The fine jewelry auction house had not yet officially opened and they had made such a major mistake.

What's even worse, they got caught by Mr. Henderson himself, so there was definitely no way they could get away from it.

"There's no need to send it back to the vault. You bring me the receipt to sign. It's my personal belongings, and I will personally carry them away today."

Justin bowed his head and straightened his cuffs in an elegant and gentlemanly gesture.

"Okay, Mr. Henderson, I'll get right on it." The staff hurriedly left to get the receipt.

"Justin, I really like this blue diamond ring ..." Shelly pulled Justin, refusing to let go, "You're not... not going to give this ring to Joyce, are you?"

Justin slowly inclined his head and looked emotionlessly at Shelly, her eyes shining with crystal tears, reminding him that when she was a child, she also always pestered him with such eyes, begging him to play with her.

Once upon a time, he would have been intolerant and satisfied her because she was small.

But now, perhaps his heart was hardened, or perhaps he has changed, and surprisingly he felt nothing at all.

"Yes, you're not wrong."

He admitted.

Originally he wanted to replace the right opportunity to propose to Joyce after some time.

Since he was about to take this ring away today.

Why not just today? He would ask Joyce to meet him tonight.

"You actually want to give it to Joyce?" Shelly shouted strangely as if she suddenly couldn't stand it anymore.

"Didn't you see the news this morning? It's being reported everywhere!" She hurriedly took out her own phone and opened the headline news.

Inside, it was covered with news about Joyce and Luther.

They had also covered all the things in the past on various pages.

Shelly immediately found the photo from this morning, when Joyce and Luther was shot together in a suite in the seaside town.

She zoomed in on the photo, her cheeks flushed with anger, and handed it directly to Justin's face.

"The internet has gone crazy. Last night Joyce was with my brother in the seaside town, sharing a room with him. The photo is just everywhere!"

Justin feigned calmness and glanced at Shelly's phone, the pupils of his clear black eyes slightly contracted.

Since he got up this morning he had been busy with the opening of the auction house, and there was really no time for him to check the phone or read the news. He called Joyce last night.

Joyce didn't answer at the time, and later replied to his text message, "Something came up tonight, call you back tomorrow."

So the "something" she was talking about was a night out with Luther in the seaside town?
