Wrong marriage and sweet love (Joyce and Luther) novel Chapter 1730

Chapter 1730: Seize the Initiative

Joyce believed what Reuben said. She raised an eyebrow and asked, "Are you saying they're colluding? They've always been?"

Reuben smiled and shook his head. "More than colluding, it's symbiotic. They're comrades, the hidden hands of the royal family, who engage in dirty deeds behind the scenes to maintain their glamorous facade."

Joyce couldn't help but be astonished. She hadn't expected OGW to have connections to the royal family. If that was the case, it would be much more difficult to deal with them.

Reuben's dazzling silver hair shimmered in the sunlight.

"Are you not the strongest contender for the throne?" Joyce asked. "Sorry, I might be too direct. Although I don't know much about the Rohomes royal family, I've read some reports. Besides, you also have half-Pascaylian blood."

Grizela couldn't help interjecting, "Your Highness, although you're not the strongest contender, you're undoubtedly the most suitable one. The current crown prince is cruel and sinister..."

Before she could finish her sentence, Reuben interrupted her. "Grizela, you're going too far."

Grizela looked aggrieved, tears welling up in her eyes. She suddenly turned and ran away, disappearing into the Bryant family's villa.

"I apologize. I've spoiled her too much," Reuben apologized to Joyce. "I'm sorry if she caused any inconvenience."

"She's really angry. Should we call her back?" Joyce looked in the direction where Grizela had disappeared, feeling somewhat worried.

"I'll go check on her. You two can talk," Darrin quickly left his seat and chased after Grizela.

"You may continue," Joyce shrugged. From Kiki, she had learned some things about Reuben's mother, the story of her being sent to a mental hospital. It must have been a heartbreaking story.

Reuben sighed. "The crown prince's name is Clint. He comes from a powerful matrilineal family, the Yoshikawa family of Rohomes. I don't know if you've heard of them."

Joyce shook her head. "I don't usually pay attention to politics. I'm sorry, I haven't heard of them." In fact, she had heard about them from Luther, but there was no need to reveal that in front of Reuben.

"That's alright. You only need to know that the Yoshikawa family has a tight grip on Rohomes. They have immense wealth and a dark network. OGW was established by the Yoshikawa family. The current director of OGW, Cloud, is known to me as Charity's adopted son. Charity has shown him great kindness, so Cloud is fiercely loyal. He's extremely skilled, and his Rohomes ninjutsu is extraordinary," Reuben explained.

Reuben's explanations continued.

Cloud-something about that name made Joyce suddenly think of the mysterious man in black she had encountered in front of the Capital Peninsula Bank. He had incredible skills, catching the falling coffee in a way that seemed impossible for an ordinary person.

And on the helicopter, besides Athena, there seemed to be another man. Could he be the Cloud Reuben was talking about?

"Joyce?" Reuben called out, seeing Joyce lost in thought.

Joyce immediately snapped out of it and shook her head. "Oh, Charity. The Yoshikawa family... I feel like I've heard of them somewhere, but I can't remember. Have I had any dealings with them? It doesn't seem likely."

This went beyond just her personal problems. The international situation would be affected as well.

Just as when dealing with Otis, she had to be cautious.

Squinting her eyes, Joyce's expression became dangerous.

"According to what you said, I can only join forces with you to bring down OGW. Many things are beyond my country's scope, and it's inconvenient for me to act," she said, looking at Reuben intensely. She finally understood why he had approached her for cooperation.

"Similarly, there are things within Pascaylia that I can't handle either," Reuben smiled.

He suddenly reached out his hand. "A pleasant cooperation!"

Without hesitation, Joyce also extended her hand and shook Reuben's. "Indeed. Let's each get what we need. If you have any plans, we can discuss them."

Reuben's expression became content. "No rush, let's see what they do first. I prefer to strike from behind, seizing the initiative."

Joyce nodded.

She looked around and wondered why Darrin hadn't returned after chasing after Grizela.
