Tristan was suppressing a carnal light in his eyes. He slowly unbuttoned his soiled jacket in front of Joyce. Then, he carelessly tossed it to the chair on the side.
He did not even glance over. There was a touch of wildness in his reckless movement. With one hand, he tore off his tie with a sharp tug and threw it on top of the coat.
The top button opened, revealing his sexy Adam’s apple. His temperament carried a hint of charm and messiness. An unruly coldness mingled in his aura.
What a suffocating atmosphere. Joyce only froze for a moment before looking away. She suppressed her racing heartbeat. Her lips opened slowly.
“Mr. Beckett, you think too much. I never bother to think about matters that have nothing to do with me.”
Joyce did not care what ‘show’ happened between Tristan and Lydia. Was it any of her business? Tristan’s actions were truly intriguing.
“Nothing to do with you?” He lowered his voice. It sounded slightly weak. Maybe she misheard. “Of course.” After she finished, Joyce turned on her heels and prepared to leave.
Just as she turned around, her arm was grabbed. These plays were simply incomprehensible. Was there a need for this? Just what did Tristan want? Joyce’s expression sank and she was just about to ask. However, Tristan pinned her against the wall again.
Without hesitation, he cupped her face with his hands and pressed his thin lips on hers.
He lost control and invaded her sweetness with a trace of madness. She was just as sweet and intoxicating as he imagined Joyce did not react at all.
His cologne mixed with the faint scent of alcohol was somewhat familiar to her because she was once fascinated by it for a long time.
However, when his cool lips tried to advance further, Joyce seemed to jolt awake. She bit his lips hard. During his momentary pause, Joyce slapped him fiercely across the face, The slap rang out loud and clear.
Tristan’s expression sank. He stared straight at her.
Joyce pushed him away, furious. “Mr. Beckett, you’d better look clearly.
I’m not a frivolous woman who can be bought by gifts. If you want to flirt around, there are plenty of women outside!” Tristan’s heart sank slightly as his voice grew hoarse and cold.
“But the only one I want is you.” He thought of what Ian Carter prepared earlier. ‘Was he trying to propose to her? Hah!’ Tristan was filled with an unquenchable rage.
He did not know when it started, but it seemed like she was deeply rooted in his heart. She took root and sprouted, and now that feeling was impossible to ignore.
Joyce’s pupils shrank fiercely. It felt like the scar on her heart had been 5/7 TE uncovered and was dripping blood.
The pain was unbearable! “Tristan Beckett, we’re already divorced. As you wished, I finally left your life. We have nothing to do with each other now, and we will never have anything to do with each other in the future.
I have absolutely no feelings for you anymore, so I hope that you can stay as far away from me as possible…” ‘Who gave him the right to do this? When my heart was barren, he just barged in and peered into my scars.
I feel pain too! What was he trying to do? Make a fool out of me? Mock me?!’ That one kiss made her panic and ache to the bone.
It was unexpectedly beautiful, yet also incredibly loathsome! Joyce did not hesitate to leave. She looked like she did not want to see him again.
She was afraid that he would notice and belittle her wretchedness and despair. With fluid movements, she opened the door and left. “Bam” She shut everything behind that door. Tristan was quiet.
The slap mark on his face was a vibrant red, and blood seeped out from the corner of his lips. However, he was not the least bit aware of it. There was a dull pain in his chest.
He said, “Happy birthday, Joyce.” At that moment, it felt like he had truly lost the most important thing to him…
Ian Carter anxiously came out from the side and sighed with relief when he saw Joyce. “I thought you’d been kidnapped, but now that I think about it, you’re the one who kidnaps others instead…”
‘Stop mentioning Tristan Beckett!’ Joyce quickly adjusted her mood and went downstairs as if nothing had happened.
The heaviness in her heart was not the slightest bit alleviated. Joyce rolled her eyes at Ian’s words with an expressionless face. She walked downstairs in her high heels, looking elegant and refined.
Lydia quickly ran after Joyce and bit her lower lip. When she saw Joyce’s unpleasant expression, she mustered the courage to ask, “Joyce, is… Mr. Beckett alright?” Joyce’s lips curled as she cast a sidelong glance at Lydia.
She saw through Lydia’s thoughts at once. If Lydia was frank and open about her intentions, Joyce would have admired her ambition.
However, the way Lydia acted like a timid but scheming b*tch really was truly disdainful. Joyce lifted her chin. The coldness on her face was startling.
She pointed upstairs to the room she had just come out of. “If you want to know so badly, you can go inside and check…” Even if Joyce hated Tristan Beckett, there would still be people who flocked to him.
However, Joyce was no longer the person she was three years ago.
Now, she could hide her heart flawlessly. Lydia looked embarrassed. “there’s no need…” Ian frowned as he listened from the side.
He had been acquainted with the Powells for so long, but he never heard of Joyce having a cousin like Lydia before.
Even if they were both ladies from the Powell family, there was no need to be that secretive, right? Thinking about it, he no longer bothered about Lydia.
lan looked at Joyce expressionlessly.“ Why is your cousin’s last name Smith?” If they were cousins, Lydia should be a Powell like Joyce, right? Lydia’s expression stiffened as she took awkward glances at Joyce.
It was as if she was afraid of what Joyce would say. However, Joyce did not even look at her and explained, “Her mother is with my second uncle.” ) She could not be bothered to say anything more.
After all, it was not good to air her family’s dirty laundry in public. Ian responded with a faint “mm” and no longer continued to ask.
After all, he was not that interested anyway. Lydia secretly sighed in relief. She paused in her steps and narrowed her eyes involuntarily.
‘If only my last name is Powell like Joyce…’ Unfortunately, even though her mother, Jade, mentioned changing their last names multiple times to Noah Powell, he always treated it like a joke and brushed it away.
Once Joyce and Ian went downstairs, they were surrounded by Grant and Kai. Fortunately, everyone was dancing and did not notice them. Ian’s expression stiffened.
This situation… This scene… His knees went weak… Grant’s eyes were cold and indifferent, and his aura was imposing and slightly icy.
Although Kai looked handsome with deep features that looked like they were exquisitely carved out, at that moment, he also stood there with a roguish smile on his face.

Joyce frowned and looked at the two men in front of her in confusion.
“What are you guys doing?” Kai held out a hand to block her with a serious face. “Don’t mind us. We just want to talk to Second Young Master Carter about what happened earlier.”
The fireworks and roses. Surely, he had an explanation for that, right? Joyce looked at the two speechlessly.
“Okay, I’ll stay out of it.” She was not in the mood to meddle! The good mood she had tonight was completely ruined by that kiss! Damn it! Ian was at a loss. “You can’t leave me…”
He batted his eyes at her pleadingly. Joyce duly avoided Ian’s gaze and blinked in another direction. Grant frowned imperceptibly. His gaze was cold.
“Second Young Master Carter, although you have a close relationship with Lil N, I hope that this won’t happen again in the future.” Each of his words sounded very polite.
However, all Ian heard were threats! Kai chuckled. “That’s right. Our Lil N is about to become the richest person in the world. She has no time for relationships.
If you’re not willing to accept that, you can talk to me…” Ian’s lips twitched. ‘What’s there to talk about with him?’
Ian naturally did not dare to say anything. After all, they were his future brothers-in-law… He had to be polite! Ian smiled. His attitude became very warm and bright.
