FreeNovelIn vain, the only sound left on the phone was the "Beep, Beep, Beep—" sound.
Joyce was so angry that she wanted to smash her phone on the spot, but eventually she held it back.
If Casey hadn't answered the phone first and explained the situation. She would certainly think Luther was trying to play his tricks
again. Now that they'd actually been in a car accident, what could she say?
There was no hope they could get the divorce papers today, and she could only leave the court first.
She called Aaron, "Hey, Aaron, cto the front gate now. I'll give you back his ID."
Aaron sounded very surprised on the phone, "You finished the formalities? But | didn't see Boss's car in the underground garage.
That's weird. If Boss is here, he would just have handedthe documents himself and | would take care of the rest for him. Is
something wrong?"
"Yeah, you got that right." Joyce said with obvious displeasure, "They had a car accident on the highway and couldn't make it
today."

"Ah. Okay, I'll be right there then." Aaron hung up the phone quickly.
At the gate of the court, Joyce handed Luther's ID back to Aaron.
"Casey said that they hit the car in the front of them and they were not hurt. You don’t need to worry too much."
Aaron nodded and asked again, "Where are you going now, | can drive you there."
"No, | have spersonal business." Joyce waved her hand, "You can go ahead and get busy."
"Okay." Aaron responded, turning around to leave. To be honest, no matter what the reason was, Luther did not make it to the court
today actually was a relief to him.
After Joyce left the court, she walked down the road and dialed Karl's number when no one was around.
Although she did not get the divorce papers, she still needed to stick to the original plan.
"Joyce, is it done?" On the phone, Karl was the first to ask.
"Uh." Joyce was quite awkward, "There was an accident. No, | do not get the divorce papers. Luther had a car accident on the
highway, and he cannot make it here today."
"What?! He had another car accident? What a coincidence."
"Christian finally found the whereabouts of the AWM that Ricky had used. It's not convenient for him to deliver the gun himself
though, so he just senta message. I'll go to Pier 4 and pick it up, and he'll send someone to deliver it." Joyce told him
everything. After the long wait outside the court, although she was upset, there was finally sgood news. They could finally get
the sniper rifle.
"Great. Joyce, Pier 4 is a bit out of the way, so I'll go with you. Where are you now? I'll cover and pick you up." Karl asked.
Joyce looked up at the nearest road sign.
"I'm on Riverway Avenue, and there's a monument nearby."
"I know where it is. You stay at the intersection. I'll cpick you up in no more than ten minutes." Karl told her.

"Wait, you don't drive a police car." Joyce hurriedly admonished. She thought it would be Vicki who would deliver the sniper rifle. If
Karl drove a police car with her, it would be too flashy.
"I know."
Karl answered and then hung up.
Joyce stood alone by the roadside. The sun was almost setting and she found a shady place to avoid the remaining heat.
Occasionally, she would look up from her phone and have a look around.
Sure enough, within ten minutes, Karl pulled up in front of her in his own car just on time.
Joyce opened the car door and sat in the front seat.
Right after she sat down, Karl turned sideways and reached out to help her fasten her seat belt, very gentlemanly.
"Let's go. It took Christian so long to find the gun this time. | think he must have encountered a lot of difficulties." Joyce said,
"Otherwise, with Christian's personality and efficiency, he would have gotten it done long ago. | was worried before, that maybe we
just could not get the gun this time. Fortunately, just now | received his message. It's great!"
