Chloe’s gaze was cold and stern as she glared viciously at Joyce.
She had such a strong aura. The air pressure around her was very low.
Chloe said, “Fine. Then don’t blame me for being ungracious.“
Joyce raised her eyebrows and met Chloe’s gaze without fear.
‘Since when has Chloe been gracious in the first place?’
“Logan, send off our guest.“
Chloe Snyder was strangely quiet for a while.
Logan brought news that Chloe had gone back to her company’s headquarters in Cali.
Joyce felt a little surprised. ‘She went back just like that? That’s unexpected… But that’s also good for me. I can finally have some peace and quiet…’ At a business cocktail party.
Joyce and Yvette attended the party together. Coincidentally, they ran into Ian and his mother, Gillian.
Gillian was obviously stunned when she saw Joyce.
However, Gillian quickly regained composure and went forward with a smile to take her hand. “Joyce, I’ve missed you these days. I asked Ian to invite you over many times. Why didn’t you come to visit us?“
Joyce thought to herself, ‘That’s because I don’t wanna find trouble for myself…’
However, Joyce still behaved graciously. She looked so glamorous as she smiled perfunctorily.
“Mrs. Carter, I’ve been busy recently. Not to mention, Ian’s sick, so he should rest properly.“
Gillian saw that there were no hard feelings on Joyce’s face, so she breathed a sigh of relief.
She wanted to bring up “The Blazing Sun“ again, but she was too embarrassed to do so.
Joyce also did not mention it on her own accord.
Thus, Gillian could only endure the heartache and regret silently.
After some pleasantries, they finally turned the page. Ian came over, so Gillian excused herself.
Joyce finally took off her fake smile and rolled her eyes at Ian. “Have you had enough of pretending to be sick?“
Ian flashed a devilish smile. He looked so suave and frivolous. “Miss me?“
Joyce flashed Ian a cold smile.
He could think whatever he wanted.
Joyce wanted to tell Ian about Chloe Snyder, but after some thought, she decided against it. ‘I can’t even solve my own problem…’
Yvette greeted others and quietly came over to pull Joyce’s wrist. “Joyce, I saw Tristan Beckett! “
Joyce frowned slightly. It was not strange for Tristan Beckett to show up here.
Although Joyce did not want to see him, there was no need to make a fuss about it.
Yvette pursed her lips and continued, “My mom’s forcing me to go on a blind date with the man standing next to Tristan Beckett! “
Joyce had a mouthful of wine that she had yet to swallow and almost choked to death.
Ian also looked shocked.
It took a while for Ian and Joyce to register what Yvette just said. ‘Yvette Quimbey actually agreed to go on a blind date?!’
Yvette sighed. “My mom forced me to go. Anyway, I don’t like him, but our families are talking about a marriage alliance…“
Joyce was anxious for Yvette.
Ian looked envious and winked at Joyce. “If only our families can be so feudal… How great would that be, huh?“
Joyce and Yvette shouted in unison, “Get lost! “
‘How is he still in the mood to gloat?! He really is the worst friend of the year! ‘
“Joyce, you have to help me! “
Joyce pursed her lips. “Of course, I wanna help, but ‘I can’t possibly go to the elders of those two families and declare war, right?’
Yvette’s eyes lit up. She leaned into Joyce and told her the plan.
The corners of Joyce’s lips twitched. ‘This flaky Yvette! She wants me to take the initiative and create a scandal with her blind date?! ‘
Joyce said, “Hey, your bestie’s reputation is already in tatters, but you still want to add insult to injury?! “
Yvette tugged at her helplessly. “But besides you, I can’t think of a more suitable person… If it was just any woman, their family would’ve kept things under wraps. Only you have the ability to intimidate them into not acting rashly! “
Ian saw the two ladies whispering and did not know what they were plotting.
At this time, someone came over with a drink and dragged him away.
Joyce looked torn. “But… If others find out…“ “Don’t worry, no one will secretly film you here. Just make sure that other people can see you! “
All they had to prove was that this man was a sleaze who even dared to hook up with Joyce.
Yvette urged Joyce, so she could only concede with clenched teeth.
‘Ugh, fine! For the sake of my best friend, I ‘ll just have to be the bad guy…’
Joyce was determined to help her friend. She picked up the corner of her long dress and went in the direction Yvette pointed her to.
Tristan Beckett and Keith Ludwig were sitting there with another person opposite them.
‘Colton White?! ‘ Joyce paused in her footsteps. That man hated her the most back then.
He was Yvette’s blind date?
Joyce looked around and did not see anyone else besides the three of them.
It must be Colton White…
After some thought, Joyce did not want her best friend to get married to this scourge.
He did not deserve Yvette.
Joyce took a deep breath, carried her dress in one hand, and held a glass of wine in the other.
She walked over slowly.
Keith noticed that Joyce was walking over to them. He excitedly and nervously nudged Tristan’s arm and winked at him. “Beckett, looks like Joyce really meant it. She’s willing to forget the past and actually took the initiative to come over to you…“
Seeing the woman with the slender figure and delicate features walking over slowly, Tristan’s eyes lit up.
Tristan looked calm and cool with a slight frown.
Hearing Keith’s words, Tristan held some hidden anticipation.
His heart was racing.
