Chapter 16 Her Fault
"What do you mean?"
Joye put aside the clothes in her hand and frowned at the woman who barged in without an invitation.
In the past, because of her love for Shawn, she had always been respectful and tolerant of Xaria, but it
didn''t mean that she would continue letting Xaria insult her.
"What do you mean? What did Shawn do wrong? Your parents’ and younger sister''s deaths are an
ident. It''s their fate. This has nothing to do with Shawn. But you took advantage of Baird''s love for
you and guilt-tripped him. Not only did you steal the Richard family''s shares, but you asked for a
divorce and moved out. Are you trying to humiliate Shawn?"

Xaria''s gaze was full of dissatisfaction, her tone harsh and aggressive.
Having a daughter-inw like her was such bad luck.
"You''d better watch yournguage," Joye warned Xaria.
Joye''s eyes were filled with anger as she red at Xaria. "If Shawn hadn''t taken revenge on the
Leonard Group, my family wouldn''t have ended up this way!"
"That''s because you brought the reporters to the hotel to embarrass Shawn! Joye, if you want to find
the culprit, look into the mirror. Don''t nder my son."
Xaria rolled her eyes in disgust and Joye’s anger immediately dissipated. Her lips turned pale and she
couldn''t say a word.
Xaria was right. It was her fault. She was the culprit. If she hadn''t married Shawn in the first ce,
none of these would have happened.
"Aren’t you going to say anything? Do you realize that you''re in the wrong now? Didn''t you want to
divorce him and leave this house? Fine, but you have to leave behind all the shares that Baird gave
you. The Richard family doesn''t need you anyway."
If it hadn''t been for the fact that Baird had arranged for an engagement with the Leonard family from
the time she was pregnant Shawn andter insisted on him marrying Joye, she wouldn''t have allowed
her son to marry this woman.
"Speaking of which, you want the shares, don''t you?"
The sharp voice made Joye snap out of the self-me and pain she was feeling. A sneer appeared on
her pale face. "Sorry, I respect Baird''s choice."
Even if she didn''t want the Richard family’s shares, she wasn’t stupid enough to return them, because
the shares were not only money but also the only thing that could help the Leonard Group get through
this crisis.
"Ha!"
Xaria was stunned for a moment but then said coldly, "It seems that Miss. Leonard always pretended to
be noble and virtuous. She has actually been calcting ways to get the shares of the Richard family
from the start!"
More than half of the Richard family''s shares were in Baird''s hands. Originally, the shares would be
split after he died. No one had expected that he would transfer all his shares to Joye because three
people in her family died.
It was ridiculous!
"Aren''t you the same?"
The corners of Joye’s mouth curled up slightly. Although her face was pale, her eyes were full of pride.
Her parents and sister were gone, but she was still the eldest daughter of the Leonard family.
"You!"
Xaria was exasperated to the point of madness. She raised her hand and was about to p her, but
was stopped by someone. "Xaria, Baird wants to see you."
Joye looked at the neer calmly and proceeded to pack her luggage.
"Yvon, you came right on time." Xaria snorted and turned to leave with a meaningful look on her face.
"Did I interrupt you two?" Yvon awkwardly stood there. When Xaria was going to p her, Joye had
already reached out her hand to stop Xaria, but Yvon was faster.
"No, thank you for what you did just now."
Joye looked up with a sincere and grateful smile. Any woman would want someone to protect her, even
a little help would suffice.
She had hoped countless times for Shawn to be that person, but it was clear that she was
wrong.
