Everyone was from the same gentry circle. Ian Carter had always been popular among the high-society ladies, and his status as the Second Young Master of the Carter family was also very appealing.
Thus, when these two women saw lan
Carter treating Joyce like this, their faces subconsciously paled.
‘What’s going on? Didn’t Joyce have a thing with Grant Powell and a fling with
Kai? lan Carter still sides with such a scandalous woman?’
Joyce withdrew her hand with some annoyance and turned to look at the women. “You can either take the initiative to apologize, or I can make you apologize. Choose one.”
The two women looked at each other.
Their bodies unconsciously stiffened.
lan, who was next to Joyce, looked at the two women with a cold smile. “Are you deaf? Choose!”
Those two women were perplexed.
It looked like lan Carter was willing to beat them up as long as Joyce said the word, regardless of their gender difference.

Joyce snapped a picture with her phone and hooked her lips in satisfaction.
“What are you doing?” One of the women could not help but ask because she was confused as to why Joyce would take pictures of them
“We’re civilized people, so I won’t fight with you. Since you don’t want to apologize, I can only get your father to apologize to me. When the time comes, it won’t just be a simple ‘sorry’ anymore.”
Joyce laughed. With Powell
Corporation’s power, it would be easy to make things difficult for a few small companies.
Making them disappear from
West City could also be done in a snap of a finger.
One of the women whispered to the other, then the two of them looked up and said reluctantly, “Sorry.”
Although they did not like Joyce, they were afraid of the Carter family’s strength. Ian Carter was clearly backing Joyce, so they could not afford to mess with them.
Moreover, if Joyce complained to Grant
Powell later, the situation would be even worse.
These two ladies were trust fund babies that had no contribution to the family business. If they implicated their family business because of such a small matter, they would certainly get disowned.
Joyce raised her eyebrows and dug her ear. “I didn’t hear it…”
The two women gritted their teeth and stared at Joyce. They raised their voices slightly. “Ms. Joyce, we’re sorry.”
Joyce smiled, but it was cold. “This is a warning. Next time, I won’t pretend to be civilized.”
She had a lot of ways to intimidate a few trust fund babies.
The two ladies smiled. Although indignant, they dared not say anything.
Joyce looked at the time on her phone.
The sounds of beratement in the banquet hall were still ongoing. Joyce did not want to continue meddling, so she went straight out the door.
Since everything had been exposed,
Powell Corporation would publish
Samantha Lindt’s dismissal later in the evening, so Samantha would not be able to stay in this industry.
Of course, Micah Zielinski would also suffer the same fate.
Before they got out of the door, they saw a group of people coming from another direction, led by none other than Tristan
Beckett lan was next to Joyce and snorted lightly.
“What a small world…”
He walked forward, put his arm around
Joyce’s shoulders, then whispered in her ear, “You don’t need to thank me. We can’t lose this battle.”
Joyce noticed that Tristan was staring at her. She retracted her gaze indifferently and walked forward without glancing at him, treating him like a stranger.
“Joyce, you’ve been quite popular lately, huh? Your appearance rate is even higher than actual celebrities. Are you trying to change your career and make your debut in showbiz?”
Keith, who was beside Tristan, could not help but annoy Joyce when he saw her. He then stepped forward to stop her from leaving
He had been watching the drama unfold online all day
It was a rare occasion that Joyce was insulted, so Keith wanted to add fuel to the fire.
Unfortunately, the keyboard warriors he hired stopped all movement in the latter part of the day lan raised an eyebrow. “Mr. Ludwig, what does it have to do with you?”
“Second Young Master Carter, how can you still side her when she has entanglements with three men at the same time?
Don’t you think that this woman is a little too popular with men?”
Keith’s words were very sarcastic.
Joyce cast a sidelong glance at Keith. “M
Ludwig, if I were you, I’d learn to keep
my mouth shut at this time.”
“What?” Keith thought, ‘This woman dares to teach me what to do?’
Joyce hooked her lips and sneered.”
Because if I get upset, I can easily make you more popular than I am now…”
Once Keith’s nudes were posted online, who among them would be more viral?
After dropping that sentence, Joyce retracted her gaze and left the clubhouse.
She did not even glance at Tristan Beckett, who was standing next to Keith.
Keith’s face turned red as he stood there gnashing his teeth. “This woman… Is she planning to threaten me for life?!”
Tristan coldly withdrew his gaze from Joyce and swept a glance at Keith. “You asked for it.”
lan had driven his car to the clubhouse, but he still insisted on Joyce to drive him home.
Joyce reluctantly agreed. After they got into the car, a tall figure blocked the front hood when they were about to drive away.
lan put away his smile and raised his eyebrows slightly. “Why is Tristan Beckett so clingy?”
Tristan Beckett walked right in front of them unhurriedly without the intention of giving way. He obviously had something to say.
Joyce was getting impatient. Tristan walked to the car and knocked on her window.
She lowered her eyelids, lightly hooked the comers of her mouth, then slowly. –lowered the car window.“
Mr. Beckett, is there a problem?”Tristan’s dark eyes sank as he looked at her profoundly.“Joyce, those two conditions you proposed.*Joyce laughed and interrupted him. “It looks like you’ve made a decision? Which one do you want?”Selena Price or the emerald pipe?”Tristan’s gaze sank slightly. “Change your condition. Selena can’t be touched .”When Joyce heard this, her smile stiffened for a moment, She was grateful that they were in a dark environment so that no one could see the gloom on her face.
“Selena Price can’t be touched? How precious I she to him? Does Selena Price have such a special existence in his heart” Joyce thought that she was over Tristan Beckett and that she did not care about Such matters anymore. However, she could still be so easily hurt by his simple remark. That numbing dense pain was particularly familiar to her.
She had gotten through this pain with clenched teeth countless times before“The only person Tristan Beckett would willingly hurt has always been me..” Joyce suddenly felt a warm and strong hand holding her right hand tightly. She was stunned for a moment and looked back at lan. lan raised his eyebrows and had a giant n his eyes.
“Mr. Beckett, it seems that Selena
Price is truly special to you. I’m concerned about your tastes in women. If
I were you, I’d rather blind myself than take one look at her.”
lan’s words calmed Joyce down. She paused for a moment to gather her expression. When she raised her eyes again, they were filled with coldness. She scoffed.
“Mr. Beckett, you still don’t get it, huh? I’m the one calling the shots. I gave you a choice, so you can only choose among them and have no right to change the options.”
Joyce hooked her lips and sneered. She slowly raised the car window, withdrew her gaze then stepped on the gas pedal and drove off into the night.
She did not glance at the man left behind.
“Lil N, look at you! Weren’t you so confident when you were inside? Why did you become such a wimp after coming out?”
lan and Joyce grew up together and knew each other well, so he knew what she was thinking with just one glance. He tore down her mask and still did not let go of her hand. The corners of his lips were still curled up.
Joyce retracted her hand and laughed self-deprecatingly. “I know I’m a fool…”
lan paused, then reached out to stroke her head. His voice was gentle as he said,
“Don’t be scared, you still have me, alright?”
Joyce smiled, withdrew her thoughts, and said in an indifferent voice, “How can I be scared to lose something I never had?
so… I’m not scared of anything.”
She would not give Tristan Beckett a chance to hurt her again.
‘So he chose Selena Price, huh? I guess his family heirloom will be lost forever…’
Inside the parking lot.
Keith panted as he ran over to the tall and well-built Tristan, who was just standing in place. He stared at the man strangely.
“Didn’t you come here to try out my new car?
I’m freezing to death! Why are you just standing there?”
