“Mr. Ludwig, why are you here?“
Joyce lowered her head and took a sip of coffee. The aroma of coffee filled the room.
Since Keith already drank four cups of coffee, he almost felt like vomiting after smelling it.
‘I must bear with it!’ Keith reminded himself.
He looked at her with a straight face and deliberated his words.
“I thought about what happened yesterday. As Tristan’s friend, I was indeed not too friendly to you back then
I feel guilty and remorseful about it, so I came over to officially apologize to you.“
Joyce looked at him suspiciously.
“Could it be that you got scared after finding out what happened to Anson, so you came over here? “
‘This woman really hit the nail on the head! She didn’t even give me the benefit of the doubt! ‘
Keith’s face stiffened, then he admitted with a smile. “Yeah… We were all tricked by Selena Price!
Yesterday, we went drinking with Tristan and we were all quite tipsy. We talked about the past and we all really regretted what we’ve done. We were really blind before and misunderstood you. Joyce, seeing that we’re so sincere, can we turn the page?“
Keith smiled sycophantically. That arrogant young master back then probably never expected that he would be so ingratiating one day.
Joyce’s eyes flickered, then she shook her head with a smile.
‘Hell no! Turn over the page? Dream on! These people are really more naive than one another!’ Joyce thought.
Keith’s smile faltered. It meant that he only came here to make a fool of himself.
He left the office feeling disappointed while Joyce spoke indifferently.
“Mr. Ludwig, it’s good enough that I didn’t take the initiative to find fault with you guys.
Next time, don’t come looking for your own discomfort.”
Keith paused in his footsteps.
An idea suddenly flashed in his heart, so he turned back to look at her with shining eyes.
“Joyce, do you still like Tristan?” ‘If she still likes him, then the chances of them being together now is definitely much higher than three years ago! They both have the same status and are a perfect match!’ (Th Joyce’s face turned even colder when she heard this “Do you want to die?” It was a barefaced threat.
Keith shrank his neck, smiled awkwardly, and ran away as fast as he could That was her answer.
‘How could she still like Tristan? She’s not a masochist…’ Keith thought.
Once he was out of Powell Tower, Keith called Tristan_ “Beckett, I’ve never felt that you and Joyce are so well-matched before this…” ‘Their personality, aura, and family background are simply the same! Tristan should really be matched with a woman like Joyce who can stand shoulder to shoulder with him.
Besides Joyce, who else could match Tristan?’ Keith thought.
Tristan was curious.
“Hmm?” His tone was cold and suspicious.
However, Tristan was secretly gleeful when he heard that. Keith sighed and continued, “But you ! Pally have no chance!” Tristan immediately hung up the call and uttered, “This sick bastard!” After Keith left, Joyce received a call from Kai to attend an auction in the evening.
Since people online often misunderstood the relationship between Kai and Joyce, Kai decided to ask Julie Nixon as his female companion.
Kai carefully selected Joyce’s male companion, who was a budding actor that had just debuted, Fabian.
He looked so clean-cut and handsome.
It was no wonder that he had so many fans.
Fabian was obviously a little nervous.
He looked like Prince Charming in his white suit.
He was even blushing a little when he saw Joyce.
Joyce just smiled without saying anything, then took his arm and walked inside the venue to find their seats.
The huge screen in the front displayed photos of the auction items There were very valuable jade bracelets, collectors’ paintings, and a pair of black opal cufflinks designed by the famous designer, Pire.
Fabian saw the photo of the cufflinks and was visibly stunned He had a glint in his eyes.
“Pire’s final work is actually here?” He muttered to himself incredulously.
You like it?” Fabian nodded and said with enthusiasm, “I was a designer before I joined showbiz.
Pire is my idol! If he’s willing to take me as his apprentice, I can quit showbiz to join him Joyce did not know much about cufflinks, but she only remembered that Tristan Beckett loved collecting them, especially Pire’s works.
‘What the hell! Why would I think of him? How annoying!’ Joyce swept a glance around and saw Tristan Beckett sitting a few seats away A talkative woman was sitting next to him chattering while looking at him with her bright eyes. Sensing Joyce’s cold gaze, Tristan turned his head to the side.
He saw Joyce who was talking to Fabian with her head lowered.
Her side profile was gentle and beautiful.
She even had cute dimples when she smiled.
`Turns out she can be so beautiful when she’ s not angry! Those two look awfully close and intimate…’ An irritation surged in Tristan’s chest.
His face was sullen and bitter.
His eyes also turned colder.
The woman next to him sensed that something was off about Tristan and followed his gaze.
She deliberately exaggerated her voice, “Oh! Looks like Ms. Powell has a new boyfriend She has a really good eye.
Fabian is a budding young actor.
His first drama was a huge hit’ Ms. Powell is so popular with the guys!” Tristan cast a sidelong glance at the lady and said in a harsh voice, “This doesn’t seem to be your seat.” Ines Xavier froze for a moment, then revealed an awkward smile and explained herself, “My dad is the organizer of this auction.
Those people are willing to change seats with me.” What she meant was that she could sit wherever she wanted.
Ines Xavier had just returned to Mediania and came over to join the fun.
She did not expect to see Tristan Beckett here, so she could not care less about anything and wanted to approach him.
Three years ago, Joyce robbed Ines of her chance, so three years later, Ines vowed not to give up! Tristan did not say anything.
His face was a little cold, and the disgust in his eyes was obvious. If Mitchell, who was sitting next to Tristan, still could not see Tristan’s displeasure, then it would be a waste of all those years of working for Tristan.
At this moment, Mitchell hastily proposed.” President, why don’t we change seats?” Tristan stood up without saying a word, so Mitchell quickly moved to the side and sat on Mitchell’s original seat.
Mitchell tried his best to ignore the Choo indignant piercing gaze from Ines, who was now next to him. Joyce’s phone beeped. It was a message from Julie Nixon.
[That lady sitting next to Tristan is Ines Xavier from Gemini Entertainment, right?] Joyce saw the name and frowned slightly, then replied.
[I couldn’t tell.] She thought about it for a long time before remembering who Ines Xavier was. Ines Xavier was the infamous high-society lady who declared that she would not marry unless it was Tristan Beckett.
Her father was a big shot in the entertainment industry, so Ines had always been able to get what she wanted.
After being rejected by Tristan, Ines felt devastated and went to Korea for plastic surgery However, Ines did not expect that once she left, Tristan would marry Joyce.
Ines, who had just completed her plastic surgery in a foreign country back then felt Beckett sitting a few seats away.

. The pain was unbearable. Julie Nixon: [I heard that she spent $800K to do up her whole face in Korea.
That chin’s so sharp that it can probably slice things! * expression of horror*] Joyce laughed, but this had nothing to do with her, so she was not bothered.
When she looked up again, the auction had already begun. Joyce was not interested in the other items and for some reason, she only paid close attention to the pair of cufflinks. By the time the bid for the cufflinks started, the starting price was $200,000.
This was already not cheap for a pair of cufflinks. Next to her, Fabian raised his bidding paddle without hesitation. “$250,000!” “$300,000!” Date It went up to $600,000. Surprisingly, there were still people bidding for the cufflinks. Fabian had begun to waver.
For a budding young actor who just made his debut, it was quite a big amount for him. Joyce thought about it. Since Fabian accompanied her to this boring auction, she should show her appreciation.
Thus, Joyce raised her bidding paddle without hesitation. “$700,000.” The person who had just made the previous bid saw that it was Joyce and did not intend to fight with her. To Joyce’s surprise, Ines raised her bidding paddle.
“$750,000!” Ines turned to Tristan and said excitedly, “Tristan, let me give this to you as a present…” Tristan did not have any reaction like he did not hear her. However, Ines was not discouraged. Nate Ines did not want to give up this good opportunity to win over Joyce.
Since they were sitting nearby, Joyce could hear it clearly and thought, ‘I’m afraid Ines has some sort of misunderstanding about her self-worth, right? She even dares to compete with me?!’ Joyce placed another bid.
“$1 million!” The whole room was in an uproar. This was truly the most expensive pair of cufflinks that had been on auction. Ines’ giddy passion had not yet faded when her expression collapsed in shock.
That was because Ines did not have more than one million dollars of pocket money. Her resentment for Joyce deepened in that instant. Fabian, who was sitting on the side, wanted to say something, but he was also afraid of making a fool of himself.
Before the host finalized Joyce’s bid, a man’s deep and mellow voice resounded in the 52 Date room. m. “$1.1 million.” It was Tristan Beckett.
This pair of cufflinks was not worth so much, but this was the last pair designed by Pire and the only missing pair in Tristan’s collection. His collection would be imperfect if he did not collect it all. Thus, he needed it.
This pair of men’s cufflinks seemed to be of no use to Joyce anyway. At this moment, everyone felt that they could watch a good show.
The ex-wife and the ex-husband were in a face-off, so who would win in the end? Joyce pondered for a moment and raised her paddle again. “$1.2 million!” It was like any price was merely a number to them Fabian could not help but speak up. “Ms. Powell, forget it, it’s not worth that much.” Joyce smiled at him and did not make a sound Without a doubt, Tristan called for another bid.
It went straight to $1.5 million. Tristan faintly glanced sideways at Joyce. This time, Joyce’s focus was not on Tristan.
She was just looking at the pair of cufflinks with some obsessive desire.
Joyce did not hesitate and raised her bidding paddle again. “$2 million!” The host called out, “$2 million going once! $ 2 million going twice–”
He deliberately paused and dragged it for a few seconds to wait for Tristan to raise the bid again.

Joyce could have done something years ago she never once tried to talk to her husband yet got the divorce and all of a sudden has moral. She should take a look at herself. She’s blaming Tristan.

How would he have known she loved him when she lied to him at the time of marriage and now she’s trying to punish him? He did wrong but he was trying to do the right thing at the same time. Joyce turned out to be a spoiled rich overbearing god I can’t even Finnish it
