Chapter 19
Ruby gazed intently at the increasingly beautiful girl in front of her, feeling a mixture of satisfaction and regret in her heart.
It is satisfying that such a beautiful woman became the daughter–in–law of the Norton family, which is indeed a good choice.
Unfortunately, in the past, Zander’s heart was only filled with Elianna, and he couldn’t keep Joyce properly.
However, now that Zander and Elianna have broken up, Joyce would be more than willing to return to the Norton family as a daughter–in–law.
After listening to Ruby’s argument, Joyce remained silent and simply placed a bank card on the
table.
“The money is double the help the Norton family had given me before. If it weren’t for that
opportunity, I would have been able to repay it all in another two years.”
The Norton family always enjoyed helping others and provided financial assistance to many people,
always just giving money without interfering.
Over the years, the Norton family never sought repayment from the beneficiaries.
Perhaps I was too naive and ended up being a sacrifice in vain.
Now she has realized, but she doesn’t care too much.
Now, she got up and left straight away.
Ruby was taken aback for a moment, and an unnamed anger surged in her heart. However, thinking
that the Floyd family and the Mills family were still supporting Joyce, she could only forcefully
suppress her anger.
Joyce had just left the Norton family when she unexpectedly ran into Zander.
“Joyce, did you want to come back?”
His tone was filled with undisguised astonishment and joy.
Joyce sneered.
“Your mother wanted me to continue sacrificing my bright future and wasting my time by your side, just like before.”
Upon hearing this, Zander’s face turned pale, recalling the terms of the agreement he had seen last
time.
During those three years, Joyce had to be by his side alone, without having any life of her own.

The life she had endured for three years, coupled with his indifference towards her during those three years, was difficult for an ordinary person to bear in just one or two months. One can only imagine her state of mind.
He couldn’t stop the pain in his heart, tightly clenched his fists, and muttered to himself.
“Sorry…”
Joyce had no interest in listening to him anymore, and she walked straight past him.
Probably because of this reason, Zander hasn’t been bothering her recently.
Joyce was naturally relaxed and at ease.
At the Floyd family’s banquet, Joyce was also invited to attend.
All night long, Audrey stayed by her side, afraid that something might go wrong.
“Joyce, what were you doing here!”
Suddenly, a sharp sound came from behind. Joyce turned around and saw that it was Shayla.
Ruby couldn’t bear to let her suffer at Otraria, so she begged Mr. Norton to bring her back.
Looking at Joyce in front of her, Shayla was filled with resentment.
It was all Joyce’s fault!
Not only did Joyce get divorced, but she also managed to make Zander furious, who directly sent
her to the distant Otraria!
Behind Joyce was the Eiffel Tower, and she instinctively wanted to avoid it, but accidentally sprained her foot.
“Joyce!”
Just as Audrey was about to speak, she quickly pulled her behind her.
Shayla was caught off guard and rushed straight towards the Champagne Tower.
With a loud bang, the guests turned their gaze as Shayla fell into the champagne tower.
Fragments were scattered all over the ground, and her body was covered in wounds.
“Shayla!”
Zander rushed over upon hearing the sound, wanting to lift her up. But as soon as he touched her, Shayla screamed in pain.
Audrey carefully examined Joyce and, after confirming that she was unharmed, turned her gaze towards Shayla on the ground.

“Is the Norton family of this kind? They came straight for our Joyce, what did you do to Joyce? And two years ago, it was also Ms. Norton and a group of hooligans who pushed Joyce into the
champagne tower. You have to give an explanation!”
