On the other side.

As the evening approached, Karl arrived. Joyce and Luther were waiting for him in the reception room of the manor. Stepping into the room, Joyce was taken aback by Karl's dusty appearance, still in his inspector uniform as if he hadn't had time to change.

"Karl, what's this? Just finished an assignment and swung by on your way here? You're not planning to attend the wedding dressed like this, are you? I don't think many people would dare to speak in front of you," Joyce teased. "Wearing the highest inspector uniform to a wedding. Those who don't know might think you've been sent down to carry out an inspection task."

Karl chuckled. "How could that be? I did just come straight from the assignment in the neighboring city. It was a tight schedule, couldn't change clothes in time. Rest assured, Juanita had my clothes all ready for me. My luggage has been sent to my room. I definitely won't be attending your wedding dressed like this."

"Good to see you." Luther greeted.

Karl nodded lightly. "Mr. Warner, you look radiant with the addition of a son. Congratulations."

"Please, have a seat." Joyce pointed to the sofa next to them. Sᴇaʀᴄh thᴇ FindNʘᴠᴇl.nᴇt website on Gøøglᴇ to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

Karl dusted off the dirt on his clothes and sat down on the sofa. "Before coming, Juanita had been in a bad mood for several days because I didn't allow her to come along."

Joyce chuckled, covering her lips. "She's close to delivery, indeed she shouldn't take it lightly. Look, I also delivered early. One can't predict when Juanita will deliver."

"Karl, you've already helped us a lot. You don't have to worry about it anymore. Kane has arrived; he will monitor the surveillance and the control room. Luther has prepared enough manpower. Add to that the natural geographical advantage of South Island. Nothing will happen." Joyce reassured him. "Take care of Juanita, don't let her be distracted. Don't worry
