However, everyone now knew the fact that she was not in fact a Powell. Instead of running away like this, she might as well grit her teeth and make Joyce seem cold and cruel instead.
No one would benefit from this farce! Lydia lowered her voice and sounded like she was about to cry from being bullied by Joyce.
“Joyce, how could you say something so mean?” Joyce glanced at her expressionlessly and spoke in a cold voice. “What are you acting innocent for? I can say meaner stuff.
Do you want to hear them?” Joyce could not be bothered with Lydia’s act.
This mother-daughter pair was so arrogant and shameless enough to cling to the Powell family. In that case, Joyce would not mind stripping their disguise so that they would never be able to face anyone ever again.
Lydia’s lips trembled as she felt the intent stares on her. She did not have the guts to confront Joyce head-on. However, was she supposed to bow her head and admit defeat? She could not do that either.
Lydia paused for two seconds before speaking She looked at Noah Powell with tears in her eyes.
“Dad… I don’t know how I provoked Joyce…” Her pitiful look was truly nauseating. Among the female companions brought by the guests, many of them were actresses in the entertainment industry.
However, in terms of acting skills, no one was better than Lydia. – Joyce interrupted Lydia coldly.
“Is he even your real dad? Isn’t your real father a security guard at a high-end club under Powell Corporation? Do you think that spending our money and living in our house automatically makes you a Powell? You, three Smiths, are just spineless freeloaders who cling to the Powell family and refuse to leave!” Then, Joyce looked at Noah and said bluntly, “Uncle Noah, you should watch out because not only are you raising someone else’s child, you might be unknowingly supporting someone else’s husband as well…”
Kai already had people investigate Jade and Lydia’s little secret after they kicked them out of the Powell Mansion last time. Sticking his nose in other people’s business was Kai’s forte.
‘Noah’s expression instantly turned glum. He looked at Jade cold and shocked. eyes. Then, he slapped her without hesitation, A scream instantly rang out. Jade lost her balance from the slap and fell to the ground.
This scene was truly sensational. Noah’s voice was extremely cold. He was so humiliated that he became infuriated.”
Didn’t you say he died in a car accident?” Jade looked up with terrified eyes as she trembled in fear. “I… No… I didn’t mean to lie to you. I don’t know when he appeared…” ) Lydia went over to help Jade up.
Noah stared straight at Lydia with cold eyes. “Did you know about this too?” Lydia glanced away for only a moment, but it made Noah extremely disappointed.
There was no need for her to say anything.
He already knew the answer. All these years, he treated this mother-daughter pair as well as he could, but they ended up using his money to support another man? No one would be able to accept that! “Dad… Mom didn’t mean to lie to you…”
“That’s enough! Haven’t you humiliated me enough? Get out of my sight!” Noah suddenly thundered. A storm of anger raged over his face as he showed them no mercy.
Floyd Powell stood by the side with a cold face, not saying a word.
He was not in the mood to watch his brother’s family affairs. The most hateful thing was that they ruined his daughter’s birthday party.
Thus, he had no intention of helping them no matter how viciously Joyce fought back.
They deserved it! Jade and Lydia were guilty.
If this carried on, it would only be detrimental to them. They left with their tails between their legs. Noah Powell was also not in the mood to stay, so he left after saying a few words to Floyd.
The small episode did not cause that much of a storm. Everyone soon tacitly changed the subject. Some people continued dancing, while others exchanged pleasantries.
Who would dare to whisper and joke about what just happened? Joyce quietly sipped a glass of red wine. The wine-stained her lips crimson, and her cold and aloof aura made her even more bright and beautiful.
When she turned around, she saw Floyd’s cold and gloomy face. She walked over and shook his arm, coaxing him with a pampered smile, “Don’t be angry, Dad.
I didn’t suffer. Why should you be angry with such people? They’re not worth it!” Joyce’s expression changed so quickly that everyone was surprised, but they felt more helpless and interested.
Her gentle and lovable look now made it seem as if the coldness from earlier was a deliberate act to scare people. Anyone’s heart would soften when faced with such a beautiful and adorable young lady.
“Noah’s getting more and more muddled in the head. How could he bring them along today? He must’ve been bewitched.” ) Floyd’s expression was clearly unpleasant after his good mood was ruined.
Joyce blinked and clung onto his arm like she was a koala. “Uncle Noah has been duped for so many years. It’s not something that just happened.
Dad, your health is more important. Don’t be so angry…” “Alright, I won’t…” » more helpless and interested.

Floyd was helpless by her actions and the anger in his heart gradually dissipated. Soon, he went back to greeting and laughing with the guests who came over to toast him.
When the party was over, Joyce was already a little tired. After talking to Floyd, she went outside.
She drank a little wine tonight, so she wanted to take a walk and enjoy the night breeze.
Too many things happened tonight. They piled up on her chest and made her feel stuffy and heavy. Tristan’s kiss and Ian’s bouquet of roses both upset her.
The lamps stretched her shadow long. The night was dense, and the cool breeze blew her long hair.
Her footsteps were slightly heavy with her stilettos as she walked down the desolate road. Her figure looked so lonely. The streetlights lit up the road, looking like a river of stars on the ground, stretching brilliantly for miles.
Shortly after walking down the road, a section ahead was dark. The streetlights there were broken. Joyce stood there and felt an extraordinary chill in the darkness.
She did not move because she seemed to hear a faint movement on the dark road next to her. They sounded like tense and hurried breaths…
After a moment of hesitation, two burly men came out slowly and leisurely from that path. Joyce tried to disguise her nervousness with calmness.
“Miss, someone wants to meet you. Why don’t you come with us?” Joyce’s expression stiffened as her breath stalled. ‘Did I offend someone? If I d known earlier, I would’ve gotten a driver or bodyguard to follow me… It would have saved a lot of trouble. However, Joyce still did not feel any panic yet, and her expression was calm.
She slowly looked up at the two burly men with cold eyes. “Kidnapping… or robbery?” Joyce did not care about them. She had to figure out their intentions before she could respond.
She had to understand if she encountered them because she was unlucky, or because of another reason, The two men were clearly stunned.
It was the first time they saw a young lady remain so calm in such a situation! They no longer dared to say the vulgar words they prepared to scare her with.
“Someone just wants to talk to you, right there.” One of them pointed to the dark and dreary path. Suddenly, a scarlet dot lit up in the darkness.
There was someone there, smoking Sure enough, someone was waiting for her. The atmosphere sank in an instant, Joyce did not know what danger would follow, but she could feel it. That person was bad news! It might not be impossible to run now.
However, if she ran, she would be leaving this danger in the unknown darkness. There might be trouble in the future instead.
Hence, why not settle the matter today once and for all? Joyce was also curious about who was so bold as to make a move on her.
After thinking about it, Joyce stepped forward in her heels unhurriedly. She stopped three meters away from the flame.
The two burly men stood behind her to prevent her from escaping. In the darkness of the night, a person stood in the shadows behind the wall, She could only faintly discern the outline of their body but could not distinguish their features.
This situation was extremely unfavorable to Joyce. However, Joyce could easily smell the perfume on the person, as well as the fashion cigarette’s scent that she used to like.
Out of all the people who participated in her birthday party earlier, only one person wore this perfume. That person also had a domineering and cold aura.
