No one dared to say anything. Their families had warned them not to mess with anyone from the Powell family, especially Joyce. Ingrid coldly snorted.
“Forget it. Even if you girls don’t dare to mess with Joyce, I dare to! I just need your cooperation.” …… Yvette and Joyce looked at each other.
They always hear gossip on the way to the bathroom. Coincidentally, they even overheard such a wonderful plan! Yvette and Joyce turned back and found a conspicuous place to sit.
A few minutes later, Ingrid Beckett and her groupies came over. They immediately spotted Joyce in the crowd.
Yvette leaned in close to Joyce. “Should we leave early?” Joyce hooked her lips. “Let’s play with her first, to kill our boredom…”
Yvette shrugged her shoulders. ‘Okay, someone’s in the mood…’ In the blink of an eye, Ingrid came over alone. Ingrid did not have her usual arrogant and defiant attitude.
On the contrary, she looked so sincere and humble as she said, “Joyce…” Yvette immediately had a gag reflex. “I’m sorry, I can’t help it…” She raised her hand to explain.
The corners of Joyce’s lips twitched. To Joyce, it was a nightmare to hear Ingrid calling her name in that tone.
If Joyce did not find out about Ingrid’s plan in advance, Joyce would have doubted her ears. Ingrid, who was in front of Joyce, kept a polite smile and the etiquette of a high-society lady.
“Joyce, I have something to say to you. Can we talk alone?” Joyce raised her eyebrows and swirled the grape juice in her glass. She questioned Ingrid.
“What do we have to talk about?” Ingrid paused for a moment and hung her head.
“I’ve been seriously reflecting on my past behavior these days… I admit that I’ve gone overboard last time, so I’d like to sincerely apologize to you…’
Joyce just nodded with understanding and said, “Oh, okay, then just apologize here. Won’t it be more sincere in front of everyone?” Ingrid’s face stiffened.
She forced a fake smile. “Um… It won’t be very appropriate. I still have some things I want to say to you in private.” )) Joyce hesitantly looked at the large crystal lights overhead that were reflected on the surface of her drink.
The light moving in her glass was surprisingly more beautiful than the real ones above her. Ingrid saw Joyce’s hesitation and immediately added.
“It won’t be good for others to hear about the things between you and my brother, right?” Joyce lifted her eyelids.
The corners of her lips curled up faintly. “Okay.” She stood up. Yvette pulled on Joyce’s arm and frowned.
She wanted to stop Joyce. Joyce smiled reassuringly and patted Yvette’s wrist, indicating that she knew what she was doing.
She already knew of Ingrid’s plan anyway. Ingrid’s eyes flashed with a hint of smugness. On the balcony of the second floor. The surrounding leaves rustled in the light breeze.
The hazy band of light from the Milky Way could be seen in the dark sky. The stars were as far as the eye could see. Ingrid looked innocent thinking that Tristan Beckett was a taboo subject for Joyce.
Joyce stood there with a slight smirk.’ How childish…’ Ingrid was standing not far away behind Joyce. Her voice was gentle and harmless.”
Joyce, actually come to think of it, you and my brother are a good match with comparable family backgrounds and you’re both from the same gentry circle.
Even my grandfather has started to approve of you. Are you really not interested in my brother anymore?” Joyce glanced at her with a chill in her eyes.
The corners of her lips curled up into a cold and detached smile. “Are you mistaken? How can your brother and I be a good match?” Ingrid paused for a moment and said, “ You’re already the successor and President of Powell Corporation.
With your current value, how could you not be a good match for my brother?” Joyce snorted coldly and did not hide the contempt in her eyes.
“You misunderstood me. What I meant was, how is your family worthy of being compared to my family?” ‘She even has the cheek to presume that her brother is compatible with the successor of Powell Corporation?’ Ingrid’s face froze.
A trace of ruthlessness flashed in her eyes. She gritted her teeth and stood behind Joyce, staring at her intently. If it was before, Ingrid would have retorted without a second thought.
However, both her grandfather and brother had already warned her many times not to mess with Joyce. If it were not for Joyce, Ingrid would not have been humiliated in front of the high-society ladies.
Looking at Joyce’s smug face, Ingrid could hold back her anger. Before this, Ingrid had already noticed that this railing’s screws were loose.
Ingrid then deliberately removed them before she asked Joyce to come out. This railing no longer had any point of support.
A slight nudge would make it collapse. Since this place was obscure with the surrounding greenery coupled with the darkness outside, no one noticed this.
Ingrid bit her lower lip, looked at Joyce, and suddenly screamed, “Joyce, what’s on your back?” She then pounced on Joyce without hesitation.
Ingrid wanted to push Joyce down from the second floor. She did not want to kill Joyce and only wanted to cripple her.
At least, Joyce would be in pain. It was better if Joyce would be crippled forever.
If Joyce was crippled, would she still be able to be so smug? Joyce would be humiliated if she fell over like this.
Ingrid thought that as long as she could put Joyce to shame, everything would be worthwhile even if she got reprimanded later.
She used all her strength to pounce at Joyce, but just as her hand grazed Joyce’s back, Joyce suddenly dodged to the side. Ingrid no longer had Joyce’s back as a support in front of her and lunged forward from the inertia earlier.

Ingrid no longer had Joyce’s back as a support in front of her and lunged forward from the inertia earlier, The railing fell off with no resistance, and it was too late for her to regret her actions. Ingrid’s body was free falling.
The cold, harsh wind on her face was a little painful. Panic and shock overwhelmed Ingrid in that instant.
Ingrid screamed, but just as she was about to fall off the second floor, she was suddenly yanked from the back of her dress. She looked back.
Ingrid almost forgot that Joyce always had fast reflexes. She was just relieved that she did not fall from this height and become crippled, However, she was still scared to be in this situation and position, Joyce looked at Ingrid with a faint smile in her eyes.
“Ms. Beckett, did you justtry to push me?” Ingrid was just about to deny it when Joyce raised her eyebrows devilishly and added, “I’ll let go if you lie…”
In an instant, Ingrid was so frightened that she could only nod her head and admit her guilt. “Yes, I’m sorry, Joyce! I know it’s wrong ») In the next second, Joyce exerted a slight force in her hand.
The sound of fabric ripping could be heard. Joyce suddenly let go. Ingrid shouted in horror and her body sank for a moment. However, Joyce did not let go in the end.
She only smiled and seemed to be enjoying the look of fear on Ingrid’s face. “Well, since you admit it yourself, serves you right!” Ingrid could no longer hold back the panic she felt and shouted for help.
Joyce did not stop her. Soon, there was a crowd gathered around them. Keith saw this scene and was so shocked that he hurriedly went to look for Tristan.’
OMG! What’s happening?!’ Joyce sneered and looked at Ingrid’s ripped dress. She reminded Ingrid.
“By the way, your dress is all ripped. Do you want everyone to see what’s underneath?” Ingrid could feel that the fabric of her dress was giving way from being yanked back.
This dress could not hold her full weight. Ingrid’s face paled. She instantly stopped screaming and desperately tried to grab onto the railing, but to no avail.
Thinking about how she almost fell to her death, Ingrid glared at Joyce in anger and frustration.
“You… How dare you let go? You said that if I admit it, you won’t let go!” Everything happened in a flash. a The reversal of the situation was so sudden that Ingrid could not figure out how she got into this position.
‘Why am I the one falling off the balcony? Shouldn’t it be Joyce?’ Joyce’s smile was cold and harsh. Her eyes were stern.
“You’ve admitted to trying to harm me, so why should I help you? Ingrid Beckett, you’re the one who repeatedly seeks death. Where’d you get the courage? Don’t you have a brain?” Joyce had already warned Ingrid before.
Did she forget so soon? If so, Joyce did not mind giving her a little reminder.
Ingrid was trembling. She gnashed her teeth and shook in anger. She glared at Joyce viciously. Tristan quickly came over and was shocked to see this scene.
Joyce had enough fun seeing Ingrid’s wretchedness, so she withdrew her gaze and frowned slightly. “Brother! Save me! Joyce wants to kill me!” Ingrid cried.
Everyone could see what was going on, so they could all testify. This time, Joyce would not be able to deny it. Tristan looked at Joyce with a complicated gaze and was about to pull his sister up.
However, Joyce suddenly stopped him. Joyce smirked and slowly took out her phone.
“Wait a sec… I can’t be wrongly accused in front of so many people now, can I?” With that, Joyce clicked the recording on her phone. Replay.
Joyce’s voice came through first. “Ms. Beckett, did you just try to push me?” ) “I’ll let go if you lie…” Next, it was Ingrid’s anxious and frightened voice.
