    “You even nned to push all the me on your colleague?! I’ve really underestimated you!”


    Unprepared for all of this, Joyce was sent into a daze as Mrs. Smith pped her, causing her to lose


    her bnce and fall to the floor. “Ahh!” she screamed in pain. Ste watched quietly on the sidelines. In


    her hand was Joyce’s phone, which she was looking through. She discovered that not only was Joyce


    badmouthing her with Mr. Smith, but she was also pestering him about when he was going to get a


    divorce. She really had no idea when Joyce started hooking up with Mr. Smith, even though she had


    been Ruby’s private tutor all this time. Who knew she’d been sneaking around with Ruby’s father all


    along? The p clearly did little to satisfy Mrs. Smith, because she was still furious that Joyce had just


    yed a trick on her. “You are a plucky one,” she spat. “I’ll give you that! No one dares to mess with


    me! Don’t you know who I am? Well, I’ll teach you a lesson today!” Joyce was just about to get up, but


    Mrs. Smith struck her again. Not only that, she went down, sat on top of her, and started hitting her


    repeatedly. “Help! Help!” Joyce shouted. “Security! Hurry up! Drag this woman away!” The security


    guards stepped closer, but they were at a loss of what to do, seeing that they were both women. “E!”


    Joyce pleaded helplessly, her face now scratched up and filled with red blotches. “Help me, please!


    E!”


    “You have the gall to call for her help?!” yelled Mrs. Smith. “Surely, even you couldn’t be that


    shameless! You changed your name and photo on my husband’s phone to hers so she would be the


    scapegoat! And now you’re asking for her help? You’re not just shameless. You’re a vicious snake!”


    Ste watched quietly, not bothering to lift a finger or say anything. It now made sense why Joyce had


    been acting weirdly around her. She was probably nning to throw all the me on her.


    Joyce had assumed that her brilliant n would enable her to escape unscathed if Mrs. Smith found


    out about the affair, besides teaching the haughty E Steele a lesson or two at the same time. Yet


    things had not turned out the way she expected.


    The crowd was still watching too. Many of them even pulled out their phones and recorded the scene.


    Seeing that the crowd was growing in size, Ste thought it best to leave. But as she turned around,


    she bumped into Yvonne, who had just arrived.


    “What’s going on here?” Yvonne asked.


    Ste inly regurgitated what had just happened to her. Yvonne’s countenance instantly darkened,


    and she red sternly at Joyce Duxton,


    “…I can’t believe that she’s such a conniving liar!” she eximed.


    Still, Yvonne was in charge of this ce, so she couldn’t just let such a scandalous scene go on without


    doing anything. She instructed the security guards to break up the fight and get Mrs. Smith away from


    Joyce for the time being. Only with Yvonne’s instruction did the guards dare to touch Mrs. Smith. Once


    they’d removed Mrs. Smith away from Joyce, she gradually calmed down, and her anger subsided a


    little. “I’m sorry, Yvonné,” she said. “I didn’t mean to cause you any trouble. I just can’t stand how


    shameless this woman has been, sneaking around trying to seduce my husband, so I had toe and


    teach her a lesson or two!” Yvonne and Mrs. Smith were acquaintances, so Mrs. Smith had to treat her


    with some respect. Yvonne herself recognized Mrs. Smith from the start. She had known Mrs. Smith to


    be the kind of woman with only two things on her mind-shopping, and chasing women away from her


    husband.


    “I understand, Mrs. Smith,” Yvonne replied. “I don’t want to butt into your private disputes, but my


    training center is going to close soon, and she’s no longer my employee, so I hope you can resolve this


    matter elsewhere.”


    “Yes, of course!” Mrs. Smith smoothed her messy hair with her fingers and turned to Joyce.” Just you


    wait! I’m definitely not done with you! I won’t let you get away for ying tricks on  me!”


    She seemed like another person when addressing Joyce,pared to the polite and friendly face she


    put on when speaking with Yvonne. Then her eyes turned to Ste, and she looked a little


    embarrassed. “I’m… sorry I misunderstood you,” she said stiffly.
