Filed to story: Never Divorce a Secret Billionaire Heiress Book Free Online
Before Joyce and Tristan’s divorce, Quinn had never considered herself as Joyce’s mother-in-law.
Instead, Quinn only thought of herself as a master and treated Joyce as if she was a servant.
Whenever Joyce went back to the Beckett Villa, Quinn would always find ways to mock Joyce’s lowly ingratiation. She would make Joyce do housework and chores, and find excuses to reprimand and punish Joyce. Quinn would often bring back other young single ladies from other affluent families to hang around in front of Joyce and even gave those ladies Tristan’s private number so that Joyce would know what to do and back off by herself.
At that time, Joyce was a thorn in Quinn’s side.
Joyce could not help but laugh lightly. “Have you gone senile? I divorced your son long ago. You can find someone else to be your daughter-in-law…”
“Joyce, you’re so rude; How can you talk to your elders like that?” Ingrid could not help but speak up. She was greatly humiliated by Joyce on several occasions, so when she saw Joyce again, she began to fear her.
Fortunately, her mother was here, so Ingrid worked up the courage to speak.
The atmosphere felt heavy for a moment. Joyce’s smile faded as she swept a cold glance at Ingrid. “Are you trying to teach me what to do?”
Ingrid shrank to the back and dared not make another sound. She just looked at her mother helplessly.
The Beckett mother-daughter pair originally wanted to pull Joyce off her high horse, then coax her and take the emerald pipe away, but it turned out that Joyce did not do anything as they had planned.
If not for the staff in the room, Quinn would have been more straightforward and would not have the patience to babble on with
Joyce.
Quinn was a little nervous and said, “Joyce, I ‘Il give you $30 million. I must take the pipe! “
She had already contacted her son because she knew that she could not hide it any longer. If Joyce really took their family heirloom away, not to mention her father-in-law, even her husband would not forgive her!
Joyce paused for a moment and laughed. “If you had $30 million, you could’ve raised the bid earlier when it was still fair play.
Now it’s too late.”
‘I’ve contacted Tristan. He’ll be here soon.*
Quinn knew how obsessed Joyce was with her son. Once Tristan was here, she was certain that Joyce would compromise just to see him.
“Whether he comes or not doesn’t change the fact that this emerald pipe is now mine.“
Joyce laughed. ‘Does she still think that I’m the stupid woman from three years ago? Does she think that I’ll forgive and forget everything when I hear Tristan’s name?’
“Joyce, $30 million is not a small amount. Can you even afford it?“
Quinn did not believe that the penniless Joyce could fork out $30 million so easily.
Back then, Joyce married into the Beckett family without a penny to her name. Quinn was laughed at by other high -society women for having such a poor daughter-in-law, so Joyce was a disgrace to her.
Although Ingrid said that Joyce now had a lot of men backing her, why would they spend so much money on a divorced woman?
Were those men dumb?
Joyce hooked her lips, took out the black card from her purse, and handed it to the staff at the side. “ Swipe it.“
There was no hesitation.
“Yes, Ms. Joyce.” The staff member took the card with both hands.
Quinn and Ingrid stared at Joyce with their pale faces. Ingrid felt so antsy and kept clutching her phone to call someone.
‘Who is she calling? Tristan Beckett?’
Joyce smiled faintly. ‘It’s useless regardless of who shows up!’
She could spend $30 million in a second without the slightest hesitation and could even afford to pay more than $30 million as long as she wanted to!
‘It’s useless for you to take this pipe. What’s the point of spending so much on it? “ Quinn softened her attitude and used a roundabout way.
“I only took it out so that everyone could see it. You know that this is the old man’s life. He’ll die without this pipe. Do you want to see him suffer at such an old age?* Quinn said and began to cry.
‘Who are you acting for?’ Joyce looked at Quinn with a cold gaze and wanted to laugh.
“Since you said so yourself that this is Old Master Beckett’s life, were you thinking of killing him by putting it on auction? You’re the reason for his suffering at his old age. So… What do I have to worry about? I bought this through the proper channels with real money. Anyone here can testify to it. The old man is quite revered in the industry, so I believe that he’ll understand what integrity means.”
“Ms. Joyce, the transaction is complete. ” The staff carefully handed her the card.
Joyce took it and signed her name on the relevant documents. This emerald pipe officially belonged to her now.
At that moment, the door was suddenly pushed open…
Seeing the oncoming person, Quinn’s eyes immediately turned red as she walked over emotionally. “Tristan…“
“Brother, Joyce snatched away the pipe! That’s Grandpa’s favorite. If he can’t find it, he’ll surely make a big fuss! “ Ingrid spoke in a panic.
Tristan Beckett stood in the doorway looking very tall and handsome. His body was half-hidden in the shadows as he stared at the people in the room with cold eyes.
“Shut up! How dare you steal from Grandpa?“
He spoke in a harsh tone and scolded Ingrid, who shuddered in fear and hid behind her mother, not daring to look up.
Behind Tristan was the person in charge of this event, who stood there with trepidation. The organizer glanced at the staff on the side and asked, “Are the formalities done?“
“Yes, everything is settled.“ The staff replied cautiously.
Since everything was done and dusted, Joyce was not afraid of anything. After all, their precious family heirloom was in her hands, so she could call the shots.
Joyce looked at Roman, who was next to her. “Let’s go. We shouldn’t disturb their family reunion.“
She did not even care to greet them and turned on her heels to leave.
“Joyce, you can’t take it away, “ Tristan spoke in a cold tone.
Quinn hurriedly added, “Yeah, we can’t let her take it away! *
With her son’s presence, Quinn was no longer afraid and did not want to act in front of Joyce anymore.
Joyce raised her eyebrows, laughed, and raised the document in her hand. “Look, you don’t have a say here. The emerald pipe is mine now.”
She swept a glance at Tristan’s glum face and was in an inexplicably good mood!
“Mrs. Beckett, you should just save your energy and think about how you’ll explain this to Old Master Beckett. I’m sure he’s very curious to know how his family heirloom appeared at a charity auction. I wonder what he’ll do if he knew that this emerald pipe no longer belonged to him…“
Quinn’s face was pale. She regretted hiding this from her father-in -law. She was afraid and frustrated as she could imagine the old man’s thunderous fit of anger. She might even get kicked out of the Beckett family!
“Tristan…
Tristan’s eyes were deep and the air around him felt cold. “Joyce, how much do you want to leave this behind?*
Joyce laughed lightly. ‘He thinks I want money? Do I look like I’m short of money?’
Her eyes lightly swept across the man’s cold face. She raised the emerald pipe in her hand and said, “ Leave this behind?
Dream on! “
