You Hit My Heart by Kylie Stanford

Chapter 1729: Royal Background

On her way back to the Warner residence, Joyce suddenly received a phone call from Reuben.

Darrin noticed Joyce's phone ringing as he was driving.

"Reuben? What could he want? What role does the Bryant family play in this whole situation? It's strange. They're also connected to Rohomes. They appeared in Khebury. I don't believe there's no connection between them,” Darrin remarked.

Joyce's lips curved slightly. "Since you have doubts, let's see what he wants when he contacts us."

With that, Joyce answered the call.

Reuben's voice sounded somewhat excited. "Joyce, I've seen all the things happening these days in the news. What exactly happened? Why did Luther suddenly... Are you okay?"

The string of concerns caught Joyce off guard.

"Reuben, I don't think our relationship is at the point where we need to confide in each other. Why do you care? What's it to you?" Joyce spoke without much politeness, pursing her lips.

“I'm just worried. Joyce, we must meet. I've chosen the Bryant Mansion's villa as the location. I'll be waiting for you,” Reuben said over the phone.

"Didn't you understand what I said? I'm busy. I don't have time to chat with you,” Joyce replied, feeling annoyed. She didn't have time to entertain Reuben.

Moreover, she had no idea what Reuben's purpose was in coming to Pascaylia.

"Don't reject me. I have something important to tell you about OGW," Reuben emphasized.
