Joyce dusted her hands and stood up as she dealt with this vile man calmly, without the slightest panic, fear, or even haughtiness.
The crowd was in awe. Who they thought was the weakling turned out to be the champion.
Joyce went back to carry Yvette and left the bar unperturbed. “Let’s go. That guy just ruined our night…”
When everyone came back to their senses, the woman had already disappeared through the door.
The gangster was covering his wound in pain as he rolled around in discomfort. He looked so wretched like a wriggling worm…
A few paparazzi that were there watched the whole spectacle in excitement. One of them sneaked out to make a call. “Mr.
Ludwig, we took a video of Joyce hitting someone at the bar. This content will surely go viral! If we post it online, her image will be ruined.”
Keith Ludwig was eating some fresh air-flown caviar at that moment. He smiled smugly. “Go ahead and post it then.”
‘It’s only been less than a day and Joyce already let the cat out of the bag? This ungrateful b*tch left the Beckett family and dared to bully Ingrid and betray Tristan. How detestable! It’s time to teach her a lesson.’
Late at night, the paparazzi quietly posted the edited clip online and left out the background story. They simply posted Joyce’s violent actions. At a glance, it looked like Joyce was bullying the man without reason.
After a good night’s sleep, Joyce did not forget that it was her first official day at work and woke up on time to pick out her outfit.
Yvette drove over in her little convertible and pushed the door in furiously. “Joyce! All those people online are berating you again!
Joyce paused slightly. “Berating me? Why?”
Yvette showed Joyce the video that the paparazzi posted. It was only ten seconds, but it clearly showed the stark contrast between Joyce’s hostile look and the man’s miserable appearance.
The following comments were all about Joyce’s screw-up. Tristan Beckett’s ex-wife had a rendezvous at a bar late at night and even beat someone up.
Some people also commented on how ruthless Joyce was. This incident pushed Joyce into the top trending topics on social media.
Joyce was unconcerned and turned off the screen. “It doesn’t matter. It won’t affect your mood if you don’t look at it. Now, go get ready for work.”
Yvette was vexed for Joyce. Although Yvette had too much to drink last night, she was still conscious at that time and knew that
Joyce only fought the man to stand up for her. ‘No, I can’t just let this be!’
“You don’t need to care. I ‘Il handle this. Let’s go to work! “ Yvette said.
Once they went out, Floyd Powell’s butler stood respectfully at the door.
“Miss, the driver is waiting for you outside.”
Joyce frowned. It was too conspicuous to go to work being driven in a Rolls-Royce, so she immediately refused. “No thanks, I’ll drive to work.”
The butler unhurriedly took out a set of car keys.
“The Chairman specially selected the latest models of Maserati and Porsche for you. They’re placed in your garage. He has also ordered a few models of Lamborghini and Ferrari from Italy, which will take a few more days to arrive, so he asks that you temporarily make do with these.”
Yvette widened her eyes in awe and was left speechless. ‘Wow…Uncle Floyd pampers Joyce so much that driving these cars worth millions of dollars is considered having to make do?!
The small convertible that Yvette drove was not even enough to buy the tires of any car parked in Joyce’s garage.
Joyce sighed helplessly. “I ‘m going to work as an ordinary person, so I can’t be too flashy. I don’t want these. I’ll just go with
Yvette.”
The butler hesitated for a while, then bowed slightly to Yvette. “That’s very kind of you, Ms. Quimbey.*
Yvette smiled, “Don’t worry, I’ll take good care of her. It’s my honor to be a driver for our dearest Miss Joyce Powell.“
The two ladies looked at each other and laughed. Joyce then pulled Yvette away and ran outside. ‘Mr. Anderson is just as naggy as Dad! ‘
Once they arrived at the office, Grant Powell held a meeting to formally introduce Joyce as a director of the company. This position, which had been vacant for a long time, was coveted by many, but it was now taken away by Joyce, who parachuted into this role. Before the meeting was adjourned, some people had already begun to dig up details about Joyce.
Besides her identity of being Tristan Beckett’s ex- wife, everything about her was a blank slate, even her family background.
Samantha Lindt, who assumed herself to be the best candidate for this position, was the first to speak up in disapproval. She had her eyes on this role fora long time, so why should it be taken by an incompetent person?
“Ms. Joyce, what qualifications do you have to assume this role? Do you think you can handle this position after three years of being Tristan Beckett’s wife? I don’t agree with this decision, and I won’t stay in this company if someone like Ms. Joyce is a director.”
Samantha immediately raised her objection at the meeting.
Grant Powell looked down at his watch. His voice was indifferent and unfeeling as he said, “Those who don’t want to stay can hand in their resignation notice. I’ll approve it.”
For a moment, the atmosphere in the meeting room was tense and awkwardly silent.
Samantha Lindt felt humiliated. She had been in the company for so many years and got to her position with a lot of effort, so she did not mean to leave just like that.
Grant Powell standing up for the newcomer Joyce was also a slap in the face for Samantha.
The meeting room was silent, and everyone looked at each other.
Joyce frowned slightly. She did not want to be targeted the moment she took office. Just as she was about to ease the tension in the room, Samantha stood up apprehensively with a flushed face.
“President Powell, I’m sorry for my transgression. I respect the company’s decision and will work well with Ms. Joyce.”
“Good. Meeting adjourned.”
Grant Powell did not say much. He did not want to waste another minute and left the meeting room in an imposing manner.
Samantha then let out a long breath of relief.
Although many others had opinions about Joyce’s arrival, they dared not oppose Grant Powell’s authority. Joyce was also not bothered by this little episode because she would prove her capabilities over time.
When Logan arrived at Joyce’s office, he was very respectful. “Ms. Joyce, I ‘Il be your assistant from today, so you can inform me if you have any orders.“
