Free Web NovelChapter 508: Chapter 508: Mika Summers VS Tristan Grayson (8)
Julian Joyce’s brow furrowed as he shouted angrily, "How is this none of your business? Besides, don’t you happen to like that girl? We’ll just marry her into our family, provide her with the best of everything. That way, we can say we haven’t wronged the Grayson Family."
Hearing Julian Joyce’s words, Leo Joyce reined in his emotions and said resentfully, "It’s true that I like Tiana, but this is my sister’s problem. I won’t let you people take my feelings for Tiana and tarnish them so casually." ’Besides, he and Tiana had already broken up...’
’But even if they hadn’t broken up, he could never use something like a relationship as a bargaining chip.’
’What did he mean by "provide her with the best of everything" and "say we haven’t wronged the Grayson Family"? Any woman he married would have to be provided with the best of everything, no matter what!’
"You little brat! Get over here! I promise I won’t beat you to death!" Julian Joyce, infuriated by his son’s words, pointed a finger at him and cursed.
"I’m not going over there. In any case, this is my sister’s problem. It has nothing to do with me and Tiana," Leo Joyce said with a roguish air, then stuffed his hands in his pockets and turned to walk out the door.
Seeing Leo Joyce walk out, Julian Joyce stood up, grabbed a vase from the table, and was about to hurl it at him. Fortunately, Luna Lynch stopped him just in time. "There, there, don’t be angry. You know what our Leo’s temper is like."
"That brat! One of these days, he’s going to be the death of his old man!" Julian Joyce angrily slammed the vase down, sat on the bed, and roared.
Seeing Julian Joyce’s fury, Aria Joyce looked conflicted and said in a low voice, "Dad, you misunderstood me. I don’t want Leo to make it up to the Grayson Family for me."
"Then what do you mean?" Julian Joyce demanded irritably.
"Dad, I hope we can re-sign the contract with LK that was terminated before."
"Absolutely not. If we do that, how will we answer to your second uncle?"
"The person who hit my second uncle last time was Mika Summers, not Tristan. Besides, Dad, you’ve never met that woman. She’s not just foul-mouthed; her character is atrocious. Today, when I went to thank Tristan, she..." Aria Joyce trailed off, her head bowed as she began to cry with choked sobs.
The moment Julian Joyce saw his daughter crying, his anger flared. "What did she do to you?"
"It was nothing... It’s all in the past now," Aria Joyce said, wiping away a tear as she looked up, her voice choked with sobs.
Luna Lynch couldn’t stand seeing her daughter being treated unfairly. She walked over to Aria Joyce and said in a cold voice, "Anyone who bullies you is bullying the entire Joyce Family. Aria, no matter what you’ve suffered, just tell your mother. We will all stand up for you."
"Mom, I think it might be because she’s suspicious of my relationship with Tristan. Even though I really do like Tristan, we’ve never crossed any lines. We’re just ordinary platonic friends."
Hearing her daughter’s words, Luna Lynch was filled with indignation. "How outrageous! How dare she slander you like that!"
"Mom, do you think I should keep my distance from Tristan from now on? Or should I just pretend I don’t know him whenever I see him?"
"Who said that? Aria, we’ve done nothing wrong, so we don’t have to be afraid of what other people say. Honestly. I’ve always thought that boy, Tristan, was a fine young man. How could he fall for such a vile woman with no class at all?"
"Mm..." Aria Joyce wiped her tears, wrapped her arms tightly around Luna Lynch, and began to sob again.
