“Ingrid Beckett, you only have one choice.
Go and apologize to Joyce now!”
Tristan’s eyes were sullen with a frightening oppressiveness.
“Why should I apologize to her? It didn’t work out as planned anyway!”
The reversal of the situation online did not drag Joyce through the mud. Instead, it got
Beckett Corporation into trouble_
This already made Ingrid very dissatisfied.
How could Joyce have such good luck every time?
Tristan’s voice was cold, “You can choose not to go, but don’t try to take a single penny from the family ever again.”
Ingrid looked up at him in shock with a pale face.
“Don’t even try to borrow money in the name of our family either. I’ll inform everyone that you’ve been kicked out of the Beckett family.”
His voice was deep with a compelling and stern aura.
Tristan’s eyes were dark, and his face had no warmth.
He was a man who would do as he said.
Ingrid finally realized that he was not joking.
She trembled and felt aggrieved as she said,
Why do you favor her?’ Ain’t you divorced? Aren’t you going to be With Selena
Price?”
Who the hell is Joyce?! Why did Tristan have to humiliate me because of Joyce over and over again?’
Tristan’s voice was deep and cold. “Ingrid
Beckett, since you messed with Joyce with such clumsy means, Beckett
Corporation’s stock plummeted, and we lost more than a billion dollars in just a few hours. Why do you think?!”
In an instant, the room became as cold as an ice cellar.
Ingrid was so shocked that she could not even say anything.
`Lost more than a billion dollars? I only spent more than $100,000 to hire the reporter to find trouble with Joyce_.’ Ingrid •
thought.
“Also, I have nothing to do with Selena
Price. You’d better get the facts straight.
She will never have a single thing to do with our family!”
Tristan glared at her coldly and walked out
‘Have I always gotten the wrong idea?’
Ingrid’s body stiffened, then she began to panic and tremble.
She had a foreboding feeling.
After Tristan left, Mitchell walked in and looked at the reporter. “You may leave.
Remember what Mr. Beckett said. Don’t try to dig up dirt from the business circle. Go back to your entertainment industry for that. Or else, you won’t even know how you
“Yes, yes, yes.” The reporter hastily agreed and ran out in a split second.
Mitchell pushed up his glasses and walked over to the dumbfounded ‘Ingrid.
“Ms. Beckett, Old Master Beckett called for you.”
Ingrid froze. ‘Right_ Grandpa won’t abandon
“What did Grandpa say?”
Mitchell replied, “He asked for you to go over within twenty minutes. Otherwise, he’ll remove your name from the Beckett family registry forever.”

Ingrid did not expect that her small impulsive move would bring so much trouble to Beckett Corporation, yet Joyce, the one she wanted to mess with, was still unharmed!
After returning to the Beckett Villa, Old Master Beckett scolded Ingrid in a thunderous voice for a whole afternoon.
No one dared to speak up for her.
Old Master Beckett, like Tristan, also believed that Ingrid should go and apologize to Joyce.
Ingrid was then locked in the memorial hall at the Beckett Villa and punished to kneel for the whole night.
The next day was Hendrick’s death anniversary.
Joyce never imagined that she would see Selena Price and Tristan Beckett in front of Hendrick’s grave.
Ian Carter also saw the couple.
He looked upset and pulled Joyce back. “Hendrick, Tristan has been taking good care of me.
Don’t worry, I ‘ll take good care of myself. “ Selena finished talking to the tombstone and shyly glanced at Tristan on the side.
Selena was incredibly soft and gentle as she continued to speak, “Tristan, I know you’re troubled because of Joyce. Don’t worry, I’ll go to France as soon as possible so that Joyce won’t target you.“
‘It’s better for me to know when to retreat than to cling on and make things worse… ‘ Selena thought.
Tristan frowned slightly and was just about to say something when he heard someone behind him snort lightly.
It was extremely disdainful.
When he turned back, he saw Joyce smirking with raised eyebrows as she stared at them with cold eyes.
Joyce wore a plain black knee-length dress with no embellishments, but she still looked so striking.
“Ms. Price, you’re so reluctant to let go of Mr. Beckett, so you should stay…“
Joyce smiled mockingly.
‘She thinks she can escape so soon? I haven’t settled accounts with her yet…’
“Why are you here?“
Selena’s voice changed. She was shocked and glared at Joyce fiercely.
Ian’s face was glum as he stepped forward to question Selena.
“That’s what I should ask you! Why are you two in front of my brother’s grave?“
Tristan had long known that Ian was Hendrick’s younger brother, but he never had much contact with Ian.
Ian had gone to study abroad when he was young, so naturally, he was not aware that Hendrick got acquainted with Tristan during those years in the army.
Selena Price was a bit flustered and thought, ‘If Joyce knew that my relationship with Tristan is only because I was Hendrick’s girlfriend and not the ‘true love’ that I purposely made her think we are.
Wouldn’t she just mock me even more unscrupulously?’
In an instant, Selena jerked her head to look at Tristan. The moment Tristan saw Joyce, he had a plan in mind.
Tristan’s face was calm facing Ian’s questioning. After a slight pause, Tristan spoke slowly, “Ian, I was Hendrick’s brother-in-arms, and Selena was Hendrick’s girlfriend. Before he died, he entrusted me to take care of her.“
In just a few short sentences, Tristan had explained the cause and effect of this whole debacle.
Although Tristan addressed this to Ian, he really meant to say it to Joyce.
Tristan kept glancing at Joyce, hoping that she would react.
This was the reason why he had been taking care of Selena Price.
It was not because he liked her or cheated.
There had been no other woman in Tristan’s life, except for Joyce who married him.
However, Joyce’s indifferent response was unexpected. She seemed unconcerned about their relationship and did not care about his explanation.
When Tristan saw this, his face was tense, and he did not look away.
At that moment, Selena just looked embarrassed and awkward.
Joyce noticed Selena’s reaction and thought, ‘So that’s how it is. I’ve always been wondering what Selena Price has which made Tristan so affectionate towards her…’
Among the women who coveted Tristan, Selena’s family background, education, and looks were all inferior. Aside from her vile character, there was nothing that made Selena stand out.
It was absolutely ridiculous that Joyce lost to such a woman.
The atmosphere was strangely quiet.
What broke the silence was Ian’s shocked and incredulous question. “How can my brother even like her?! She’s just trying to be a freeloader, right?”
When Selena Price heard Ian Carter’s words, she turned pale.
