‘Maybe she finally found out about “The Blazing Sun”?’ Unfortunately, it was too late. Joyce had already placed that painting in her father’s study, and he loved it so much.
However, if it was for what happened last time, Joyce did not really care. After all, Joyce knew that it was Chloe Snyder’s trick.
She would not really cut off ties with the Carter family because of that. If Joyce cut off her ties with the Carters, Chloe Snyder would have achieved her goal. Joyce chuckled.
“Okay, get Mr. Anderson to send an appropriate return gift.” “Okay,” Kai said lazily. At that moment, Logan knocked on the door and came in.
“President, Ms. Chloe Snyder is here and wants to see you.” Joyce raised her eyebrows. ‘She’s fast… How unexpected.’
Chloe Snyder was certainly not like Ingrid Beckett, who would cry and make a scene to humiliate herself when she was annoyed.
Thus, Joyce was curious. “Invite her in.” “Yes, President.” Chloe walked in with grace and a strong aura. She had a coldness about her that could not be ignored. Joyce smiled.
“What a rare visit, Ms. Snyder.” Chloe went in and sat across from Joyce, The two women’s temperaments were so strong that it felt like they would clash as soon as they met.
“Anything to drink? Coffee or tea?” “No need.” Chloe was certainly not in the mood to drink now. Joyce raised her eyebrows and signaled to Logan, who nodded and left the room, closing the door behind him.
“Joyce, I don’t like beating around the bush, so I’ll get straight to the point.
Did you make Tristan Beckett kick me out of that development project? You’re also the one who made Mrs. Carter stop answering my calls from that day onwards, right?” Chloe’s gaze was harsh, and her face had a hint of anger.
As she spoke, she propped her hands on the desk in front of Joyce.
An oppressive gloom enveloped her. She was really deserving to be the President of Snyder Corporation who had gone through all sorts of hell in the industry If it was anyone else, they would really be intimidated.
Unfortunately, that person sitting opposite her was Joyce, who was completely unfazed.
Hearing this, Joyce raised her eyes and absently smiled. “I admit to the first one.
As for the latter, you’ve really wronged )) me…” Joyce smiled devilishly with a hint of gloating in her eyes. Sure enough, Gillian probably knew that she was duped.
‘Gillian did not even answer Chloe’s calls? How ruthless…’ Chloe Snyder’s eyes were cold and stern. She kept pressing on.
“Who are you to get Tristan Beckett to kick me out of that cooperation? Do you know how much effort I had to put in just to get into the market in Atlanta and form that connection?” She did not bother to work with small 1 companies and went straight to Beckett Corporation.
It took some effort to obtain Tristan Beckett’s good impression and trust. Surprisingly, Joyce swept all her efforts away with just a few words.
How could Chloe not be angry? Joyce let out a light laugh with a disdainful expression.
“Your effort is telling Tristan Beckett that you can make Ian completely give up on me?” Chloe’s face stiffened as a flash of shock crossed her eyes.
‘How did she know this? The cold smile at the corners of Joyce’s lips gradually expanded.
“Ms. Snyder, your effort is really quite unbelievable, huh? I’m rather curious where you got the confidence that you can capture the heart of the amorous Second Young Master Carter.”
Although Chloe Snyder came prepared and had a clear understanding of everyone’s preferences and personalities, she was too overconfident.
If Ian did not like her at the beginning, how could he like her now? Joyce did not want to meddle in their matters, but Chloe just had to drag her into this.
“How do you know?” Knowing Tristan’s temperament and character, he would not inform a third person about such a conversation.
Seeing Chloe’s astonishment and shock, Joyce took out her phone and waved it in front of her.
“Well… Coincidentally, the day you and Tristan Beckett were talking in the bar, I have a friend sitting next door who just happened to hear your conversation.” That person was surprisingly Julie Nixon.
Julie only remembered this a few days later and immediately called Joyce to tell her about it. Everything became clear at once. Chloe’s face gradually stiffened.
She was silent and finally looked at Joyce with cold and sunken eyes. Even after being exposed, Chloe was still composed. “I’ve underestimated you, Joyce.”
Chloe thought that Joyce was just a rich girl who grew up under the protection of her father and brothers. Even if Joyce was in a position of power in Powell Corporation, Chloe thought that Joyce would not be familiar with the treacherous nature of the business world.
Unexpectedly, Chloe was played by Joyce. “Ms. Snyder, I think that you just overestimated yourself.”
Joyce raised her eyebrows and unconsciously laughed lightly.
“You think that you can marry Ian just by provoking my relationship with the Carters and saying a few bad words to Mrs. Carter?” Chloe’s face turned glum from Joyce’s blunt words.
She could not help but let out her feelings.
“Joyce, you were also in love with Tristan Beckett before, so why can’t you understand my feelings? I’ve been in love with lan for ten years now! I never get sad whenever I see him with other women, only you!” Chloe gritted her teeth. Her face was pale.
Her expression carried such sorrow and resentment.
“The way he looks at you is different from others. If you don’t like him, you should let him go. Why lead him on and give him hope? Why do you want to stop me from liking him?” Joyce looked at Chloe’s near-hysterical loss of temper and forbearance.
She narrowed her eyes and collected her expression. Under that calm gaze, there was a sullen coldness. ‘She resents me because of this?’ Joyce could not help but sneer.
‘Is this another encounter of moral kidnapping? What the hell?’ Joyce tapped a finger on the desk and reminded Chloe. “Ms. Snyder, don’t even think of trying to morally kidnap me. It won’t work because I’m a woman without morals.” Joyce had never lost an argument before.
Joyce thought, ‘Chloe had a crush on Ian for ten years? No wonder she’s so aggressive and resentful towards me…’ She looked at Chloe’s stiff and collapsed face and felt a little sorry for her.
Joyce sympathized with this woman, but she did not regret anything.
She looked at Chloe seriously. “Ms. Snyder, please don’t impose your emotional failure on me. Your fruitless crush and Ian’s dislike for you aren’t caused by me. I am also not a third party who destroyed your relationship, so I’m not obligated to accept your condemnation.“
It was not like whoever was most pitiful had the advantage.
Joyce and Chloe were not the same.
Although they both had unrequited love for someone, at least Joyce had tried to fight for it. She had anticipated Tristan’s feelings openly before.
On the other hand, Chloe had never fought for Ian’s love in the past ten years.
“But he likes you…“ Chloe glared at Joyce.
Joyce shook her head. “Ms. Snyder, can you please be more reasonable? So what if he likes me? What did I do wrong? Your love for him is unrequited, so why don’t you let him go?“
Why did Chloe have to find some ridiculous excuse for not getting her way?
Chloe had to put all the blame on Joyce just so that she could feel better about herself?
What kind of bu11sh*t thinking is that?
Joyce used to think that Chloe would be an honest and decent person since she was so revered in the business world.
She did not expect Chloe to be so nasty and underhanded.
Joyce did not want to continue babbling with her.
“Ms. Snyder, our conversation can end here. If you want, I can ask Ian out for you so that you can just be open with him. We’re all adults, so you should be able to accept whatever the results may be. If it works, it works. If it doesn’t, there’s no point in wasting everyone’s time. What do you think?“
Joyce thought that her proposal was the most appropriate.
Rather than Chloe doing everything unilaterally without ever knowing if she had any hope, it would be much better to be open about it and get a clear answer.
A momentary hesitation flashed in Chloe’s eyes, but it disappeared in just an instant. “You just want to embarrass me in front of him, don’t you?“
Once Joyce heard this, she knew that there was nothing else she could say to Chloe.
Joyce shrugged her shoulders. Her eyes were slightly cold. ‘Forget it… She doesn’t appreciate it…’
“Then just do whatever you please. I’ve already done my part. You can’t interfere with the business here, and you have no place in this market.“
Chloe would not get anything if she stayed. Joyce’s send-off was simply too obvious.
There was no place for Chloe Snyder in West City.
