Selena Price’s expression stiffened She did not expect Joyce to be so direct.
She looked up aggrievedly at Tristan, but he did not look at her
From the very beginning, his eyes had been fixated on Joyce and he had been unreasonably silent.
Selena quietly hung her head and clenched her fingers.
Old Master Beckett also did not look at her nor did he intend to help.
At this moment, Old Master Beckett’s face was glum as he asked Floyd, “Chairman
Powell, even if we did do something wrong, it’s all water under the bridge now. They’re already divorced, so there’s no need to make a fuss about it, right?”
Floyd was really trying to hold back his anger. He was so vexed that he did not know how his daughter managed to put up with them for the past three years.
He immediately called for the two waiters who were standing not far away and pointed at Selena Price, “Please ask this young lady to leave.”
Selena’s face turned pale as she looked up in a panic.
Floyd’s tone was harsh. “My daughter doesn’t want to see trash, so get her to leave.”
“Tristan…” Selena tried to ask for help.
Tristan’s eyebrows knitted together as he glanced at her, then reminded her in a cold voice.
“The driver has been waiting for you outside. Get him to send you back.”
Joyce raised an eyebrow. She did not think that Tristan would send Selena off just like that. ‘He’s willing to just leave her?’
A man’s heart was truly hard to grasp!
Quinn and Ingrid, who had brought Selena
Price over on their own accord, saw the situation and panicked.
They hid behind the frowning Old Master
Beckett and dared not utter a word. •.•
Floyd’s expression changed quickly. He had already plastered on his usual distant and polite smile.
“Chairman Beckett, all the grievances
Joyce has suffered during her time with your family can be put aside for now, but what about those recent rumors circulating the Internet? I think you’re most qualified to come forward and clarify this, no?”
Although Joyce’s identity reveal was already enough to clear her name of those scandals, having the Becketts come forward to issue a statement was to force the Becketts to admit their mistake.
Old Master Beckett snorted coldly. “Is that necessary?”
“If you don’t even show your sincerity to apologize, then I have no choice but to cut off all cooperation with Beckett
Corporation, including all stocks, funds, and investment projects. If you can fork out as much money as Powell Corporation, you don’t have to bear the losses of severing our ties.” Floyd spoke coldly.
Old Master Beckett’s face was cold and glum in an instant.
Beckett Corporation was not short of money, but Powell Corporation was even more so. If Powell Corporation abruptly withdrew its investments, Beckett
Corporation would struggle to shuffle around funds to fill out those gaps. These were huge amounts, so if Beckett
Corporation did not have sufficient cash flow, it meant that they would have to bear all these losses.
“I’ll consider it.” Old Master Beckett gritted his teeth, turned around, and left.
Joyce chuckled and added, “Chairman
Beckett, don’t forget to visit the National
Museum frequently in the future!”
What a fatal blow!
Old Master Beckett’s body lurched, and he almost fell over. Luckily, he was held by
Ingrid on the side, so he shook with anger and walked away without looking back.
Floyd let out a light laugh and looked at
Joyce helplessly. “You little rascal!”
Joyce smiled cheekily and pulled Floyd’s arm as they turned to leave. However, they did not expect that Tristan Beckett was still there.
“Mr. Beckett, why aren’t you leaving with them?”
Tristan Beckett was astonishingly silent as he slowly read out her name meaningfully.
Joyce Powell…”
Joyce raised her eyebrows. Tristan looked at
Floyd and asked, “Chairman Powell, can I please talk to her alone?”
Tristan finally understood why Floyd Powell did not want to be addressed as “Uncle
Floyd” earlier. It turned out that Floyd did not want to get involved in any personal relationship with Tristan.
Floyd looked at his daughter, who was expressionless. Joyce then hooked up the corners of her lips in derision.
“Sure,” she said.
Floyd knew deep down that his daughter would not get hurt by that jerk again.
Otherwise, she would not have been so resolute.
“Don’t take too long. I still want to introduce you to some other old-timers in the industry.”
After saying that, Floyd gave Tristan a deep look and walked away.
“Mr. Beckett, what do you want to talk about?”
Joyce casually took a glass of red wine from the tray held by a passing waiter. The burgundy liquid was very rich in color and fragrance as she gently swayed it in her hand.
Tristan’s gaze fell on Joyce’s face. His voice was deep and magnetic.
“Why did you conceal your identity to marry me?”
Joyce paused for a moment. Her eyebrows moved slightly as she raised her eyelids insouciantly, then hooked the corners of her lips.
“Mr. Beckett, why do you want to know this?”
‘Knowing the answer no longer had any meaning now, is there?’ Joyce thought.
“Answer me.” Tristan’s voice was deep, and his eyes were bottomless like the ocean.
Joyce lowered her eyelids and smiled gently.
“Because my family is very unimpressed with you, but I was somehow blind and liked you.”
That was why I turned my back on my world, gave up my identity, and ran to him with open arms. Unfortunately, he didn’t catch me, and I fell to a painful death…’
“Fortunately, Fm not blind anymore.” Joyce smiled faintly. It was extremely cold. “Mr.
Beckett, are you done talking? You might as well go back and discuss with the old man on how to word the apology.”
Joyce took a sip of red wine and retracted her gaze. She turned on her heels and left without saying another word.
Grant was mingling with the guests with ease.
Floyd smiled and suddenly remembered something, then walked up to Grant. “Where’s K?
Why isn’t he present at such an important occasion?”‘
Kai, as one of Joyce’s scandalous boyfriends, was also a famous movie star.
Grant coughed. “He said he’d steal everyone’
s thunder by coming, so he’s at home, sleeping…”
Floyd coldly grunted. “What stupid thunder?
Isn’t his title all paid for?”
Kai, who was at home enjoying the movie he was starring in, suddenly sneezed…
When the party was about to end, Yvette and
Julie dragged Joyce out and sneaked away.
Tattle Bar.
“Beckett, why’d you only come now when you called us out earlier? We’re all waiting for you…
As soon as Tristan arrived, Keith Ludwig came up to him.
Since the Powells spent so much money chartering the entire city’s building advertising space to announce Joyce’s identity, coupled with the live photos of the gala circulating online, everyone knew of the earth-shattering events that took place at Powell Corporation’s anniversary gala.
Joyce was the heiress of Powell
Corporation.
‘Oh, God..! Keith thought about his attitude towards Joyce during the past three years and suddenly shuddered in fear,
Tristan took the glass on the table that no one had touched before and drunk the whiskey in one gulp.
Everyone saw this and kept silent.
They still found it unbelievable.
Who they thought was a pauper turned out to be a princess. No one would be able to accept such a role reversal!
Keith sighed. “Joyce really hid it too well.
All of a sudden, she just stood at the top of the food chain! Do you think she’ll settle scores with us?!”
Tristan, who had not spoken, only grunted with a frown.
“No, she’ll only look for me to settle the score.”
I’m the only one who treated her badly since the beginning…’ Tristan thought.
Someone next to them questioned, “Is Joyce the illegitimate daughter of Floyd Powell?’
‘Otherwise, how come no one has heard of her existence in the Powell family before this?’
Tristan was doubtful. If Joyce was an illegitimate daughter, why would Floyd
Powell dare to announce her identity so blatantly?
It was clear that the Powell family had been hiding information about her in order to protect her.
