Chapter 121

Joyce went to R&S Group headquarters after that. She worked late that

day and just returned with Luther.

She was surprised for a moment to see Shelly at the Warner family.

Shelly had a rather weird schedule for her work and she would not

come home every day where. She usually came back whenever she

wanted, but she didn't even bother to say hello. She didn't see her

often.

Joyce said hello and headed for Stephanie's room.

Shelly held out an arm to block her way, looking haughty, "Grandma

just fell asleep, so don't bother.”

Joyce was on her feet, "Oh."

Then, she turned around and prepared to head for the second-floor

room.

Shelly was apparently making things difficult for him, yet Joyce did not

want that trouble, so she simply hid away.

At this time, Jacqueline was sitting on the living room sofa and spoke in

a cool voice, "Why don't you even greet me when you see me? Not

even the most basic manners?"

With the curtains closed and the living room darkly lit, Joyce really

didn't notice that Jacqueline was here today.

After all, she was an elder, so she turned around and called out

respectfully, "Hello, auntie.”

Jacqueline's makeup was exquisite, her hair was well-dressed, and she

had a superior look. She squinted at Joyce and sneered, "You don't

even think about a cup of tea when someone comes to your home?

Hey, can't really expect those born in small families to just know the

rules.”

Joyce smiled and retorted, "First of all, I am not really like I am at

home. Secondly, you are not guests either."

“It is just ridiculous that you are both unwilling to acknowledge my

identity and want to accuse me of not entertaining you as the host of

the family.”

She showed a touch of disdain. Also from a wealthy family, Cecelia was

completely different. She was elegant and noble, tolerant and gentle.

And they just looked down upon everyone they met.

"How dare you speak to me like that?! Uneducated bitch!" Jacqueline's

face turned green with anger.

Joyce did not want to argue with her, went straight to the nearby water

fountain, poured a cup of boiling water, walked up, and put it on the

coffee table in front of Jacqueline, "Be careful with the hot water, drink it

later when it's cold. Auntie, there's nothing for me to do, I'll go to my

room first."

If you keep tangling with a mad dog, it simply won't work out.

"Wait..." Jacqueline's arrogant face crossed with a hint of dissimulation,

and a scheme suddenly came to her mind.

Coldly, she reached out to pull Joyce.

Joyce was caught off guard.

She was suddenly pulled over, and at the moment she turned back, the

boiling water on the coffee table was knocked over at once, and then all

of it poured onto the back of Jacqueline's hand.

"Ah." In the living room, Jacqueline's miserable scream suddenly came

out.

Then there was another “ahh”, but that was from Shelly this time.

Meanwhile, Luther had just parked his car, heard the shouting, and

rushed into the living room just in time to see Jacqueline in unbearable

pain.

Jacqueline's makeup was now distorted and her expression showed

her pain, and Shelly's face was all pale with fear as she held

Jacqueline's red-hot hand.

Luther frowned tightly and quickly ordered, "Hurry up and bring cold

water over."

Mr. Arnold hurriedly fetched a basin of cold water and brought it over

with ice.

Jacqueline put her hand, which was red-hot, inside the cold water

basin.

"Mom, how is it, is it serious? What's going on?" Shelly asked

anxiously.

Joyce was pushed aside by Shelly. Her face was expressionless, and

she had understood everything.

She simply could not imagine that a noblewoman like Jacqueline would

use such a trick to deal with her.

She was really flattered.

After the pain in the back of Jacqueline's hand subsided a little, she

feigned anger and suddenly knocked over the cold water basin with a

"bang".

Mr. Arnold took a step back in shock.

The cold water, along with the ice, was overwhelmingly poured over

Joyce's body.

Immediately after, Jacqueline landed a slap on Joyce's cheek.

"Pop", Joyce's head tilted to the side, a few red marks left on her

beautiful cheek.

"Bitch, didn't I just ask you to pour a cup of tea? How dare you

deliberately scald me with boiling water." Jacqueline shouted sternly.
