It seemed to match this person’s style very well. The person did not speak, and Joyce did not open her mouth either.
She could feel the person in the shadows staring intently at her. The atmosphere remained eerily quiet. Joyce soon got impatient. It seemed like the person still had no intention of speaking.
‘Is she trying my patience?’ Half the cigarette burned out. The ashes fell on the ground and scattered into the wind.
Joyce’s tone was indifferent when she said, “Since you invited me here, why don’t you say something, Ms. Snyder?” The person across her was none other than Chloe Snyder.
Joyce had only smelled that kind of cold and expensive perfume on Chloe Snyder before. During their first meeting at the auction, in Ian’s home, and at the banquet tonight …
Chloe had used the same type of perfume. The person across from Joyce let out a soft laugh.
“Ms. Powell, you’re very smart… You actually recognized me?” Joyce could not be bothered to talk with her and rolled her eyes.
Unfortunately, Chloe might not be able to see that eye roll. What a waste of emotion! Would Chloe Snyder, the legendary woman who created a business empire and was worshiped, praised, and thought of as someone who could achieve anything, kidnap Joyce? It was clear that Chloe did not do this on the spur of the moment, much less for money.
“I’m afraid you didn’t bring me here to say something nice to me, right, Ms. Snyder? Then just get to the point. What do you want?” Chloe’s breath paused slightly.
Joyce could feel the irritation and coldness that Chloe was desperately trying to conceal. From the beginning, Joyce was unexpectedly calm.
Even now, Joyce showed no fear at all. She even used a disdainful tone to expose Chloe’s identity. Chloe stopped hiding. Instead, she walked out of the shadows to stand in front of Joyce.
She met the woman’s eyes calmly. “Ms. Powell, aren’t you scared? What happens next isn’t going to be very pleasant…” Joyce raised her eyes and looked up.
Their gazes locked onto each other. Joyce suddenly laughed. Her expression was relaxed and indifferent, and the words that left her red lips were articulated clearly.
“This is about Ian Carter, isn’t it?” The surrounding atmosphere fell into a dead silence in an instant. That name was the deepest thorn in Chloe’s heart.
Chloe kept her affection and softness for Ian deep in her heart for the past ten years.
She thought that she still had a lot of opportunities. However, after seeing everything that lan prepared for Joyce tonight, Chloe knew that she might not have a chance anymore… It drove her mad with jealousy.
She hated Joyce to death! Chloe did not feel so hysterical even if she lost a contract worth hundreds of millions! She could cope with the coldness and ruthlessness of the business world.
However, the moment she saw that Ian was about to propose to Joyce, she felt like she had lost the whole world. Her faith collapsed and the world became desolated… The pain and jealousy she hid deep in her heart burst out.
She smiled and said, “It’s good that you know.” It was indeed because of Ian Carter. Joyce frowned and shook her head in confusion. She looked puzzled.
“Even if you target me or harm me, it won’t make Ian like you. Ms. Snyder, isn’t this method of yours too underhanded?” Using force was one of the most stupid methods.
Furthermore, this was Joyce’s turf. If Chloe dared to touch Joyce, the Powell family would never let her or her company off the hook.
Was this worth destroying all those years of hardship? Chloe suddenly laughed. Her eyes were deep and cold.
“It’s fine as long as it works. After all, you’re the high and mighty Ms. Powell. It is a little cruel if I ruin you on such a memorable day, but I can’t think of a better way to deal with you besides this.
The Powells protect you too well, so I can only use your racy photos as a threat. I only want you to stay far, far Ian…’ away from It would be best if their worlds never met again.
“That’s the only way you’ll be a good girl and listen, right?” Chloe’s eyes burned with a flame of insanity. It was more blinding and scalding than the cigarette in her hand, Sure enough, this psycho Chloe had lost her mind.
How could she come up with such a demented and disgusting method? Joyce stared at her, the smile on her lips rippling.
‘Chloe Snyder thinks that she can threaten me with a few nudes? Dream on!’ Her eyes were shining, glittering, and sparkling in the darkness. Joyce’s voice was pleasant and gentle as she said, “Right, I’ll be a good girl and listen, but…”
Her tone changed as her gaze became cold and arrogant. “You won’t be able to do it.” Joyce’s arrogance and confidence contained an inherent noble indifference, Even if she was just standing there in the dark and dreary path, Joyce was still the most eye-catching thing.
She was always the brightest focus. She was an inviolable existence. Chloe’s body stiffened imperceptibly.
She was shocked by Joyce’s words. However, she came back to her senses after a few seconds. a Chloe lowered her eyes and smiled slightly. Her aura was imposing.
She was someone who blazed a new trail in the business world. How would she be scared off by Joyce’s words? When she looked up again, her eyes brewed with ruthlessness and mockery.
She gently raised her hand. “Then let’s try it out. Apologies, Ms. Powell…”
The moment Chloe Snyder raised her hand, the two burly men behind Joyce stepped forward.
There was a very tacit understanding in their action.
Just as they were about to touch Joyce, they suddenly felt a cold chill passing in front of them.
Before they could react, Joyce disappeared before their eyes in a flash! The darkness created good conditions for Joyce.
Joyce nimbly dodged to the side and pressed her body low. In an instant, she shifted behind them. Before the two men could realize what was going on, she lifted her right foot and took off one of her stilettos.
She pinched the tip of the stiletto, so the heel was facing outward. With a swift and powerful momentum, her actions were so fast that she seemed to blur.
Just when she was about to hit the man nearest to her, the man suddenly felt a cold breeze behind him. He instinctively ducked forward, intending to dodge the attack.
However, the next second, Joyce suddenly twisted her wrist and rushed in Chloe’s direction in full force, swift and fierce! The heel of the stiletto was very thin, so the attack would only be effective if she hit a vital point.
By the time Chloe reacted, it was already too late. Chloe did not have any self-defense skills.
Even if she was a legendary figure in the business world, she was incapably when it came to fighting and martial arts. The hard heel of the stiletto smashed on Chloe’s head.
She cried out in shock and sucked in a cold breath, covering her head in a death grip.
Then, as if she was afraid of attracting attention or afraid of Joyce’s mockery, Chloe refused to make a sound again even as bursts of pain assaulted her. Her head buzzed as a warm liquid flowed down.
The air was silent and solemnly cold. As the two burly men froze in shock, Joyce smashed her shoe on one of their heads without hesitation. She would not give them the opportunity to react.
When it came to beating people up, one had to be fast, accurate, and ruthless! The man closest to her struggled to break free, and with one stride, he reached in front of Chloe.
He was secretly shocked. How could a seemingly fragile, kind, and dainty young lady strike so quickly and viciously? Her moves seemed savage and tricky, but in fact, they were extremely disciplined! If they were not professional bodyguards, they would not have realized how great Joyce’s skills were.
They had underestimated the opponent! The two men no longer dared to look down on Joyce. One of the men quickly stepped forward, grabbed Joyce’s arm with one hand, and twisted it behind her back after clasping her shoulder.
However, Joyce suddenly took a step back and stepped on the man’s foot viciously with her other stiletto heel and jabbed her elbow at his gut. When he stumbled back, Joyce took advantage of the situation to kick his body.
A moment later, screams cut through the dark and dreary path. In just a few minutes, the advantage of the 3-vs-1 fight was completely reversed. Chloe was the one at a disadvantage.
Joyce thought to herself, ‘One more… This one might be a little more difficult.’ Chloe’s voice was extremely cold in the dark. There was no warmth at all.
“You useless sh*ts! Hurry up and knock her out! We need to get outta here now!” Joyce’s skills were beyond Chloe’s expectations.
Chloe was furious. ‘How dare Joyce hit me?!’ The air pressure around her dropped continuously.
Chloe’s initial thoughts of going easy on Joyce were fiercely thrown out the window.
Her urge for revenge only grew stronger. Joyce chuckled at the words. She glanced at the exit in front of her.
If she ran out as fast as she could, there was a chance for her to escape…
Suddenly, the road brightened up as glowing yellow lights spilled on the ground, tearing apart the darkness in front of her.
