Chapter 2009 Surprises
After Elsa left, Luther pulled Joyce up from the chaise lounge, nced thoughtfully out the ss
door a few times.
Joyce tidied her clothes slightly.
"Let''s go." Joyce linked arms with Luther and walked downstairs.
Passing through the long corridor, they arrived at the lobby on the first floor, where Joyce was
genuinely stunned to see someone standing in the living room.
Besides Anderson and Iris, there was another man standing with his back facing them.
The figure looked very familiar.
The man turned around.
It was Kane!
"Hey, sis! Surprised? Unexpected?" Kane''s sunny smile, like a big boy, instantly brightened up the
entire living room.
Luther had a dark expression on his face, this troublesome little puppy hade back. It was hard
enough to send Kane away to Mufron, but now he was back again. He subconsciously held Joyce
tighter in his arms. He naturally had a guard up against youngerpetitors, especially someone
like Kane, with a top-notch background and abilities. What he cared most about was that during the
four years Joyce had been by his side, Kane was the one who apanied her the most. They
started a business together, and Kane even helped Joyce through the toughest days, watching
Anderson grow up. These were the things he envied the most. Just the sight of Kane reminded him
of his foolishness in the past. Like a mirror, constantly reflecting on him.
Joyce''s beautiful eyes shimmered, then she smiled, "Why didn''t you tell me in advance that you
wereing, I could have sent someone to pick you up at the airport."
Feeling Luther tightening his arms, she found it funny that he was possessive, but she didn''t stop
him, she knew his thoughts.
Kane blinked, "Telling you in advance would spoil the surprise. Look, I brought you something
good!"
With that, Kane took out an exquisite blue velvet box from his pocket, very high-end.

Joyce was about to take it.
Luther snatched it away, opened it in front of Joyce.
Inside the velvet box, therey a pendant encrusted with green diamonds in the shape of a revolver,
exquisite and valuable because green diamonds were rare and expensive.
Joyce eximed, "Wow, so unique."
"How is it? Do you like it? I had it meticulously crafted for you, I hired top craftsmen and it took two
months to make. It not only suits your style but is also one-of-a-kind. This is my wedding gift to you."
Kane looked proud.
Luther''s face darkened, "It''s my business to give her jewelry, you don''t need to worry about it. Keep
this gift and give it to someone else."
With that, he closed the velvet box and handed it back to Kane.
Kane''s face stiffened, Luther''s guard against him was too obvious, almost written on his face. Did
he really need to be so wary? He had been exiled to Mufron for so long, and Luther still didn''t trust
him?
Joyce smiled awkwardly, took the velvet box back from Kane.
And she pouted at Luther, "He meant well, it''s just a pendant."
Luther''s jealousy was too much, and to make matters worse, Anderson and Iris were present. It
made her both angry and amused. Kane was younger than her, and he was here for the wedding,
she couldn''t understand why Luther was making an issue out of this. If Justin were here, he would
have gone crazy. Even Christian, she didn''t dare inform him.
"Well-intentioned?" Luther''s voice was displeased, "Are you sure it''s well-intentioned for a man to
give a woman jewelry?"
At this moment, Anderson emerged from behind Kane to diffuse the awkward atmosphere, "Dad,
this is a special pendant."
Kane snorted, "Yeah, I haven''t finished introducing it, why are you so impatient?"
Joyce opened the box, took out the pendant again, and examined it carefully.
Luther raised an eyebrow and nced at it.
Iris was even more curious and approached, "What''s different? Let me see."
"Children shouldn''t meddle. The less you know, the better." Anderson forcefully pulled Iris away,
"Mom, Dad, Uncle Kane, I''ll take my sister to y first. You guys can chat."
With that, Anderson dragged Iris upstairs and disappeared around the corner of the stairs.
Iris grumbled unhappily, "Aren''t you a child too? How can you talk about me?"
Luther asked, "Kane, why are you here with Anderson and Iris?"
"Hehe. Because I''ve always kept in touch with Anderson. The first thing I did after getting off the
ne was go straight to Anderson''s school. Then I followed Aaron''s car and came back with them."
Kane looked even more proud, "I''ve watched Anderson grow up since he was a child, we have a
deep bond, so it''s normal for me to see him first after getting off the ne."
Luther, "..."
Damn Kane was unting his achievements both overtly and covertly.
Joyce didn''t pay attention to the banter between the two men and carefully studied the pendant in
the shape of a pistol.
Suddenly, she eximed, "This is a miniaturemunicator! No! Not just amunicator, but also
a pinhole camera."
"Yes!" Kane pped his hands lightly, "How is it? You can''t tell until you examine it closely."
Luther then took the pendant back from Joyce again, carefully examining it. If you were unfamiliar,
you would not be able to tell.
"How did you do this?" he asked, "What specific functions does it have?"
Kane looked even more pleased as he introduced, "This is mytest creation. Let me show you."
Kane lightly pressed the sp of the pendant, and before their eyes, a small floating visual frame
appeared, not veryrge, only the size of a single eyess lens.
"This pendant is unique, it has a pinhole camera function connected to my main device. Through
the pinhole camera, I can see everything in front of you. It also has holographic projection and voice
control capabilities, and I''ve imnted thetest artificial intelligence system. This means, the user
only needs to give voicemands, and the floating visual frame in front of their eyes can satisfy
basic information queries. I can also project the information I find onto the floating visual frame for
communication. Aside from images, sound can also be transmitted." Kane introduced one by one,
"Waterproof, resistant to electromaic interference, metal detector-proof. It can bypass all
security checks."
"Amazing!" Joyce lifted her head and admired, "No wonder it took you two months to make this
pendant."
At this moment, Luther''s expression softened a bit. If it was for Joyce''s safety, he naturally wouldn''t
object.
"Sis, with this pendant, once you activate the button, we can contact each other anytime. I can also
help you investigate any information you want to know and ry it back to you." Kane raised an
eyebrow, "Are you satisfied with my gift?"
Joyce put the pendant away, smiled lightly, "Thank you, it wille in handy."
Luther didn''t say anything more, "Since you''re here, I''ll arrange your amodation. We''ll gather
tonight, and tomorrow we''ll set off for South Ind. You can also help check themunication
devices on the ind."
Kane snapped his fingers, "OK."
