Selena Price’s face was gloomy as she walked over to Joyce step by step.
“Joyce…”
Joyce stood there and already knew that someone was approaching her. She knew that besides Selena, no one would come over to her.
She casually glanced to the side and saw Selena’s soft and gentle face that looked so pitiable.
Selena walked up to Joyce with a cold smirk and had already removed her disguise.
“Did you come to the banquet on purpose? You wanted to get close to Tristan, didn’t you? You’re already divorced, so why are you still clinging to him? If I were you, I’d hide far away. Don’t come looking for trouble.”
Joyce looked at Selena with a harsh and mocking gaze.
“Selena Price, the whole world knows that you’re the mistress in our relationship. Did you have a good time lately?”
Since this scandal went viral, netizens dug up information on Selena Price, who was frequently seen around Tristan Beckett.
Although Tristan Beckett had already taken down those posts, Selena Price had been dubbed “the homewrecker” and was scorned by many, so much so that Selena could not sleep well for some time.
“Joyce, a title isn’t as important as our feelings for each other. Tristan and I will be together one day, unlike you.” Selena coldly snorted out of jealousy and gave Joyce a once-over.
“Did you take the money from selling your blood to get this banquet invitation? How else could you come to such a place? The clothes and jewelry you’re wearing are also rented, right?”
Selena stepped forward. Her gaze flickered slightly as she walked next to the pool with a cold smirk.
“Joyce, you’re just asking for it…”
As she said that, Selena suddenly leaned backward and fell into the pool. The splash immediately attracted the attention of the crowd.
The crowd exclaimed.
Joyce looked at this scene with an indifferent and dark gaze. She suddenly thought about the banquet three years ago back when she had just gotten married to Tristan. This exact situation happened as well.
“Joyce, I won’t congratulate you on your marriage. After all, Tristan isn’t in love with you. If it weren’t for the fact that you can donate blood to me at any time, Tristan wouldn’t have agreed to marry you. You will never be happy together. If you don’t believe me, just watch…”
Selena leaped into the pool back then, and Tristan jumped in without a second thought.
She had proved to Joyce that Tristan cared about her. Back then, Joyce thought that her sincerity would one day move Tristan, but she had failed miserably.
Now, Selena jumped into the pool yet again and struggled in the water.
A man rushed by. Without having to look, Joyce knew that it must be Tristan. He anxiously brought Selena out of the pool.
“Tristan, don’t blame Joyce. I came to apologize but she didn’t forgive me. She must still hate me, but I’m sure she didn’t mean to do this…”
Selena looked so aggrieved as she shrank into the man’s arms and suppressed her sobs. The onlookers pitied Selena and looked at Joyce dubiously.
Grant Powell heard the commotion and frowned when he saw this scene. Joyce stopped him from interfering. Instead, she whispered a few words into his ear. After that, Grant left.
Tristan held the drenched Selena and draped his jacket over her. His dark eyes glared at Joyce coldly.
Joyce met his gaze without avoidance and the corners of her lips curled up mockingly.
“She used this trick a long time ago. Did you fall for it again?”
Joyce did not care if Tristan believed what Selena said. She tucked a strand of hair behind her ear and smirked. “It doesn’t matter. Her acting skills are so subpar without any improvement after all these years. I’ll turn a blind eye to your act.”
‘Why must I accept this? Why do I have to play along with her? It’ll just lower my IQ!’
Joyce was just about to turn around and leave when Selena suddenly got up from Tristan’s embrace and tugged on Joyce’s arm. Selena refused to let go of this wonderful opportunity to clear her name and cried.
“Joyce, I know that you don’t like me, but every time you donated blood, Tristan paid you for it. What else are you dissatisfied with? Why are you still pestering Tristan after the divorce and slander us? You did everything possible to come to this party because you refuse to let go of him, right?”
