You Hit My Heart -
Chapter 121
Joyce went to R&S Group headquarters after that. She worked late thatday 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 notcome home every day where. She usually came back whenever shewanted, but she didn't even bother to say hello. She didn't see heroften.
Joyce said hello and headed for Stephanie's room.
Shelly held out an arm to block her way, looking haughty, "Grandmajust fell asleep, so don't bother.”
Joyce was on her feet, "Oh."
Then, she turned around and prepared to head for the second-floorroom.
Shelly was apparently making things difficult for him, yet Joyce did notwant that trouble, so she simply hid away.
At this time, Jacqueline was sitting on the living room sofa and spoke ina cool voice, "Why don't you even greet me when you see me? Noteven the most basic manners?"
With the curtains closed and the living room darkly lit, Joyce reallydidn't notice that Jacqueline was here today.
After all, she was an elder, so she turned around and called outrespectfully, "Hello, auntie.”
Jacqueline's makeup was exquisite, her hair was well-dressed, and shehad a superior look. She squinted at Joyce and sneered, "You don'teven 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 therules.”
Joyce smiled and retorted, "First of all, I am not really like I am athome. Secondly, you are not guests either."
“It is just ridiculous that you are both unwilling to acknowledge myidentity and want to accuse me of not entertaining you as the host ofthe family.”
She showed a touch of disdain. Also from a wealthy family, Cecelia wascompletely 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'sface turned green with anger.
Joyce did not want to argue with her, went straight to the nearby waterfountain, poured a cup of boiling water, walked up, and put it on thecoffee table in front of Jacqueline, "Be careful with the hot water, drink itlater when it's cold. Auntie, there's nothing for me to do, I'll go to myroom 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, theboiling water on the coffee table was knocked over at once, and then allof it poured onto the back of Jacqueline's hand.
"Ah." In the living room, Jacqueline's miserable scream suddenly cameout.
Then there was another “ahh”, but that was from Shelly this time.Meanwhile, Luther had just parked his car, heard the shouting, andrushed into the living room just in time to see Jacqueline in unbearablepain.
Jacqueline's makeup was now distorted and her expression showedher pain, and Shelly's face was all pale with fear as she heldJacqueline's red-hot hand.
Luther frowned tightly and quickly ordered, "Hurry up and bring coldwater over."
Mr. Arnold hurriedly fetched a basin of cold water and brought it overwith ice.
Jacqueline put her hand, which was red-hot, inside the cold waterbasin.
"Mom, how is it, is it serious? What's going on?" Shelly askedanxiously.
Joyce was pushed aside by Shelly. Her face was expressionless, andshe had understood everything.
She simply could not imagine that a noblewoman like Jacqueline woulduse such a trick to deal with her.
She was really flattered.
After the pain in the back of Jacqueline's hand subsided a little, shefeigned 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 overJoyce'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 herbeautiful cheek.
"Bitch, didn't I just ask you to pour a cup of tea? How dare youdeliberately scald me with boiling water." Jacqueline shouted sternly.
