‘Joyce…’ She felt a coldness in her heart that was eerily chilling Inside the elevator. Joyce and Tristan did not say a word until they reached the door of the conference room.
Logan was standing there waiting for Joyce. Seeing the two of them approaching, Logan went forward and held the door open for them. Tristan’s aura was always very strong, which made others fear and admire him.
No matter where he was, he could instantly become the focus of the crowd and his presence could not be ignored.
However, Joyce walked in the front when they entered the conference room. Her aura was comparable to Tristan’s but was even more superior and striking because of her beautiful looks and aloof temperament. As soon as they entered, Gabriel and Ines hurriedly followed suit. The meeting began, but Joyce did not say much the entire time. Logan was the one announcing the agenda in an orderly fashion, Ines felt like her head was numb as she sat there in a daze.
Her palms were cold and sweaty. Looking at Joyce, who was sitting in the main seat with such an outstanding, cool, and noble temperament, Ines suddenly felt a sense of distance in her heart, The gap between Ines and Joyce’s status seemed very large, so much so that Ines could never touch her. Ines suddenly panicked.
‘Is this what happens when Joyce gets offended? She’s showing me what it means to be in power? Tristan Beckett, who was sitting on the side, looked firmly at Joyce as if she was the reason that he attended this meeting.
Ines heard loud and clear what this meeting was about. Joyce was now in command of Gemini Entertainment as the largest shareholder.
She removed Gabriel Xavier as the Chairman of the board and replaced him with Dominic Young of Falcon Entertainment.
Gemini Entertainment was now a small company under Powell Corporation, one of many.
Joyce watched with a smile as Ines’ expression changed gradually throughout the meeting and thought, ‘How amusing! She didn’t disappoint me at all with her reaction… Perhaps after this incident, Gabriel Xavier won’t let this troublemaker stay by his side anymore.
After all, he has an illegitimate son… Ines can finally disappear from my sight completely!’ The meeting finally ended. Joyce did not want to exchange pleasantries with the others, so she gave Logan a look and left the room. Logan stayed behind to deal with the rest of the people.
Joyce got into the car and planned to drive by herself. She drove to the intersection, but the car in front of her was slow to move. Joyce looked at the Range Rover in front and frowned slightly.
She was getting impatient. As soon as the car started to move, Joyce followed suit and stepped on the gas pedal.
Bang–
The impact of the collision made her dumbstruck. ‘Why did that car stop so unexpectedly?! i shouldn’t have tailgated that dumb car…’ Joyce was only happy for a few minutes before encountering this minor accident.
She did not know whether to laugh or cry a their misfortune. When she was about to get out of her car, she saw that the car door in front of her was pushed open.
The person who walked out of that car was very familiar.
Tristan Beckett. Joyce took a deep breath and took a closer look at the license plate number. It was the same car model but with a different license plate.
‘Oh… It seems like he bought several cars of the same model… Mr. Beckett sure has a fondness for Range Rovers, huh? I hate this car model now!’ Tristan walked over with a sullen face and knocked on her car window.
His stern and Tristan walked over with a sullen face and knocked on her car window. His stérn and deep eyes peered at her through the window.
His gaze seemed to be able to penetrate the glass. Joyce took a deep breath. Since she rear-ended his car, she was the guilty party and should take full responsibility.
‘What kind of sh*tty luck do I have?!! Joyce thought. “Joyce, you did it on purpose, right?”
Joyce thought, ‘I deliberately hit his car?! I can’t even believe what just happened! Where did he get the confidence? It’s obvious that he deliberately stepped on the emergency brakes out of the blue! But do.
I think I saw a little kid walking away slowly from the front of the Range Rover earlier… So… Oh well, since it already happened, I can’t possibly hide now, can I?’ She lowered the car window, pursed her lips, and hooked the corners of her lips.“
Yes, I hit you on purpose.” Her smile was icy cold and provoking.
‘So what if it’s intentional? It’s not like I can’t afford to pay for it!’ Tristan narrowed his eyes and frowned slightly.
“So, what are you planning to do?” His voice was hoarse and indifferent. ‘She did it on purpose? That’s surprising.. Joyce looked up with cold and indifferent eyes.
“How much is it? I’ll compensate you.”
In fact, if they were to further investigate this, Joyce did not have to take responsibility, However, since she had already admitted that she knocked into him on purpose, she could not take back her words.
Tristan looked away and took out his phone. “I’ll let you know after it’s fixed. Did you change your number?” “No…” Joyce subconsciously spoke and fell silent.
Tristan dialed her number right in front of her. “Sorry, the number you have dialed is temporarily unavailable…” Tristan looked at her with a deep frown. His face turned gloomy and glared at her intently.
Joyce pursed her lips. Her eyes flickered, The person who she blocked was standing right in front of her.
This made her feel a little complicated and awkward, “Just state a price. I’ll transfer the money now.” She picked up her phone and did not want to delay another minute.
Tristan’s voice was dull as he said, “We’ll have to wait until after the repair to know the price. Leave a phone number. I’ll contact you then.”
He admitted that he did this out of a moment of impulse. His goal was not the repair fees, but to get her to unblock his number! Joyce paused and looked at Tristan. She spoke without hesitation.
“Just contact my assistant.” Tristan kept quiet and put away his phone.” Forget it then. Just pretend this never happened…” It was obvious that he did not intend to contact another person.
Joyce was sulking and cursing him in her heart, but she remained calm and composed on the surface, ‘Tristan Beckett is tryna make me look like an irresponsible perpetrator?! Or did he think that I wanted to take advantage of him?’ Joyce did not want to get into too much trouble.
‘It’s just a bloody repair fee anyway, and I can always block him again when we’re done with this nonsense…’ Joyce took a deep breath and turned her cold gaze away.
“Fine. My number’s still the same,” Joyce said as she started the car engine and intended to leave. She did not want to stay with him for another minute! However, Tristan had no intention to leave.
He stared at her for two seconds silently. Suddenly, he bent down to look at the woman in the driver’s seat, then grabbed her steering wheel with his strong hand, His long and slender fingers were like a work of art.
Tristan’s move was too sudden and stunned Joyce.
Before she could react, Tristan’s sexy and magnetic voice rang in her ears, Joyce, you won’t drive away and forget, right?” He reminded her because he felt unconvinced that she would unblock him so easily There was no guarantee that Joyce would not just push this to her assistant to handle this. Joyce held her breath for a moment and glared at him with an unconcealed annoyance.
“I won’t.” That’s one way to put it… He thinks I’ll renege on my debt?!’ Joyce immediately took out her phone, found his name on her contact list, unblocked him, then called him. His phone rang instantly. The caller ID that showed was “Missus”.
I was initially gravitating to this novel because of the strong independent decisive female lead, but now it’s dragging out to be a tedious cat and mouse chase one chapter after another. No major development and oddly annoying at times. Let’s hope the next 10 chapters won’t disappoint. Thanks for the update and all your hard work, editors!
Looking forward to the nxt chapter!!! Love it
The wait for new chapters is long and forget the story and the excitement has died. Hope we don’t have to get to keep anticipating.
Thanks
Pls update soon
Please post soon!
is there a continuation to this?
