Chapter 70
In the crowd, there were Juanita and a few others from the project team.
They saw Joyce and waved at her excitedly.
After not seeing Joyce for a week and hearing that she was sick from her dive, they were so anxious and now they saw her rosy and glowing, and they put their hearts at ease. They were really happy for her.
Joyce also saw them and waved at them.
The glittering lights had been following Joyce’s lead.
Until Joyce got to the podium.
A lovely girl brought up a handful of pure lilies to her. Joyce reached out to take them, and a stunning smile came to her lips.
The host walked up, bent down, and reached out.
He greeted Joyce with the highest courtesy.
On the stage, beautiful orchestral music rang out.
The Mayor walked up in his suit and handed Joyce the trophy made of natural white crystal with a star on a spire-shaped base, representing purity and sparkle, and besides the trophy a red prize envelope.
Joyce put on her best smile and nodded her head in appreciation.
Immediately afterward, thunderous applause rang out from the stage.This belongs to NôvelDrama.Org: ©.
Luther saw all of it.
He was standing behind the crowd not far away, looking at the glowing Joyce on the podium. He was inexplicably irritable, unable to say what he felt, but his chest was stuffy.
Juanita and other teammates were so excited that they jumped up and down while clapping their hands.
Luther naturally saw the project team coming.
Looking at their excited looks, they all loved Joyce from the bottom of their hearts.
It seemed that Joyce was quite popular.
Various comments had come from the people around them.
“I didn’t expect Joyce to look so beautiful. She should be a model with her body and shape.”
“Why would she want to be a model? She is a scientist, and she definitely can earn more than enough. Why would she earn money with her body and face?”
“Urgh, that’s right. God is not fair, he gave her beauty and gave her wisdom.”
“Cut the crap, there are many beautiful and intelligent people. Women with courage and strategy are the best, right?”
“The key is courage. Good heart.”
“Yeah, that makes sense.”
“She is beautiful and good-hearted, worthy of being the Queen of Conard. What an understated beauty she is?”
“She has a lot of guts. As a woman, she dares to jump into the water to save that guy? Can you do the same? Besides, there are often those strange currents at the bottom of the canal, and from what people at the scene said, she almost didn’t make it up.”
“So, she got the Shining Star with her life and she earned it herself”
“Khebury needed that image, nice and positive.”
“I just like this kind of super-a girl. I’m smitten with her, I wonder if she has a boyfriend.”
“Dream on you. You may get better luck next lifetime.”
“Can’t I even dream? What’s wrong with you?”
Luther wore sunglasses and listened quietly from the sidelines.
He couldn’t help but look down and smile lightly. Joyce, you’re really something.
So many people had praised you.
So, was he the only one who was biased against Joyce? Was he wrong? He couldn’t help but start to doubt himself. Wasn’t it time for him to think about it again?
Despite the lively and grand scene, Charlotte unknowingly walked off the car, and Shelly did not even bother to see Joyce so she refused to get off.
Charlotte walked forward and suddenly saw Luther standing upright a short distance ahead, and he seemed to be watching over the scene.
She took two steps forward, but she saw Luther’s handsome and rigid side face, revealing a gentle smile and a stunningly sexy curve of his lips.
She was so jealous that her eyes glazed over, pinching the back of her hand with force, her nails sinking deep into the flesh, leaving a hideous mark.
