“We’re here, President Joyce,” Logan said. Finally, Logan could breathe a sigh of relief. Logan felt that this journey was the most difficult car ride he had ever experienced! Joyce got out of the car, not wanting to spend another second in the same space with Tristan.
Tristan also followed her out. These two had just left J&L Corporation’s press conference. In the blink of an eye, they got out of the same car and appeared together at the entrance of Gemini Entertainment, which was more than enough to attract everyone’s attention.
The sudden shareholders’ meeting was already puzzling. Now, it was even more bewildering that these two big shots were here, especially for the shareholders and top executives of Gemini Entertainment.
They could not afford to offend Joyce Powell or Tristan Beckett “Mr. Beckett, Ms. Powell…” Everyone exchanged a few pleasantries and respectfully went up to greet them. Tristan’s face was dull as he nodded. He was not in the mood to respond.
The Chairman of Gemini Entertainment, Gabriel Xavier, respectfully went forward to press the elevator for them, then bowed to ask Tristan and Joyce to go in first. None of them were qualified to ride with these two big shots.
Tristan paused for a moment and took the lead to go into the elevator. Joyce just stood there and smiled faintly.” You guys go ahead.
I’m going to make a phone call.” After that, she turned around and went in the other direction.
Tristan subconsciously knitted his brows and clenched his fists.
Although it was not explicitly said, he felt that Joyce simply did not want to stay in the same enclosed space with him. Everyone could not figure out what was going on, so they could only do as they were told.
Logan explained a few words for Joyce, so everyone went to the conference room on the top floor one after another. The lounge area was empty.
Joyce took Kai’s call there, but it was irrelevant, so she hung up. When she turned around, she saw the aggressive Ines Xavier. Ines was rushing towards her in big strides. She questioned loudly.
“Joyce! Why are you here?” When the recording of Ines provoking Joyce was posted online, it immediately met with a huge backlash. Countless netizens started to dig up dirt about Ines’ background.
Ines had spent hundreds of thousands of dollars to no avail, and she still could not suppress the matter. Now, everyone saw Ines as a stinker, so Ines did not even dare to speak out.
Gemini Entertainment also suffered a big blow because of Ines, so her father, Gabriel Xavier, was furious and scolded her for an hour.
This all happened because of the trap Joyce set up for Ines. Thus, Ines was extremely resentful. On the other hand, Joyce attended the press conference with Tristan Beckett and Gerard Lichman as if nothing had happened.
She was so elegant and composed Even as she sat next to the two giants in the industry, Joyce still had a striking presence.
People’s praise and attention toward Joyce even exceeded Tristan Beckett’s. When Ines was at the beauty salon, all she could hear was people complimenting Joyce.
“The most beautiful CEO in history?’ Ines was so infuriated that she left halfway through her spa. ‘What gives Joyce the right to be in the spotlight? It’s all just luck! These people are really blind! She could not get over it, so she came to Gemini Entertainment to ask her father for help.
She wanted to defame Joyce to the point of social death. However, Ines never imagined that as soon as she entered the front door of her father’s company, she would see Joyce sitting leisurely in the lounge area chatting on the phone.
The anger and jealousy in Ines’ chest surged uncontrollably. When Joyce saw Ines, she let out a light laugh. “What a coincidence, Ms. Xavier.” “I asked you, why the hell are you here?!” Ines was anxious and infuriated.
‘This is my turf! I won’t allow a nasty person like Joyce to come in here!’ Joyce’s gaze was slightly cold, but the smile on her face did not fade.
“As one of the shareholders of Gemini Entertainment, is it necessary for me to report to you when I’m here to attend the shareholders’ meeting? As far as I know, I don’t think you have any shares in Gemini Entertainment…” Therefore, the one who was not qualified was in fact, Ines Xavier
. Ines’ face sank and her fists clenched tightly “This is my family business, so I can come if I want to. You, on the other hand, are not welcome here.
That little share of yours is nothing! I will ask my father to buy it back immediately, so leave right now!” Ines’ voice was sharp and piercing.
Joyce raised her eyes insouciantly and tucked a strand of hair behind her ears. She spoke coldly, “Your family business? Not necessarily…” She gently glanced at Ines with obvious derision in her eyes.
Soon, Gemini Entertainment would no longer be the Xaviers’. It would belong to Joyce.
Joyce was looking forward to that moment as she wanted to see what Ines Xavier’s reaction would be.
“Joyce, don’t think that I’m afraid of you! You’re also relying on your family just like me, so what are you so proud of?” ‘We’re the same kind of people, so why should Joyce act like she’s superior to me?! Ines was getting more agitated and wanted to expose Joyce’s humiliation right in front of her face.
She folded her arms and lifted her chin to mock Joyce.
“Weren’t you kicked out even after marrying into the Beckett family? Now, you just want to take advantage of your family’s power to get close to Tristan just to get his attention, right? Is that what you want? Joyce, are you so cheap?” Ines thought that she must have removed Joyce’s disguise and wanted to see how Joyce could still pretend to be high and mighty.
She waited for Joyce to become annoyed and angry. However, when Joyce heard this, she did not have the slightest bit of anger on her face, On the contrary, she just smirked and looked at Ines.
Joyce’s voice was cold as she said, “Ms. Xavier; this is common knowledge that you should know by now. The Becketts didn’t kick me out.
I’m the one who didn’t want Tristan Beckett anymore. Also… I’m not that cheap to change my face just to please a man, so I really can’t compare to you in this sense.’
She hooked the corners of her lips and turned on her heels without even looking at Ines again.
Ines took a while to react and finally realized that Joyce was humiliating her. She stomped her feet and shook in anger. Her V-shaped jawline looked even sharper.
‘How dare she insult me?! What gave her the courage to do so on my turf!’
Ines was so angry that she became delirious. ‘I won’t let that b*tch Joyce get away with this! She glared at Joyce’s departing back and chased after her without hesitation.
‘I must teach her a lesson!’ Joyce stood in the elevator lobby and waited there. Soon, the elevator arrived. Ding– At the same time, Ines had already caught up to Joyce.
She yanked Joyce’s arm and raised her hand high as she gritted teeth and yelled, “Joyce! Go to hell!” Before her hand landed on Joyce, the person inside the elevator suddenly lifted his leg and kicked Ines’ body.
“Ahh!” Ines screamed miserably as she fell to the ground and rolled around in pain. When she came to her senses, she looked up in anger, but her face was incredibly pale, Gabriel glared at Ines indignantly and gritted his teeth “How dare you mess with just anyone?! Why didn’t you just die on the operating table back in Korea?!”
Ines could not care less about anything. She went forward to tug on Gabriel Xavier’s arm. “Dad, why are you so afraid of her? That b*tch is a nobody!” Gabriel shook her off and thought about Joyce’s words, then yanked Ines back up again.
His action was harsh. “Get this straight. Joyce is the successor of Powell Corporation. She can make this company disappear with a snap of her finger, so you’d better behave yourself.
If you dare to cause trouble again, I will throw you to Korea and won’t give you a penny! You can find a way to survive on your own!” Ines trembled in fear and looked terrified.
