Chapter 729

“Why don’t you go ahead and give it a try? It’s time to figure out the reason you won’t move out from
Mr. Shane’s place when you’re in a relationship with someone else!”

“That’s enough!” Jacqueline yelled at Joyce and started shivering. “Ms. Rivers, I know you’re holding a
grudge against me, but don’t you think you’re taking things too far?”

“Ha! It turns out you’re aware of the grudges I hold against you, huh? If that’s the case, can’t you figure
out the reason behind my attitude?”

Jacqueline’s eyes started brimming with tears. She had her lips pursed in an aggrieved manner.

Silas, who had been anticipating another show, stepped in since Jacqueline was about to burst into
tears. He cleared his throat and asked, “Alright, I believe that’s enough. Ms. Rivers, what brings you
here today?”

The moment Joyce recalled the objective of her visit, she stopped picking on Jacqueline and answered
in a courteous manner, “I’m here for Mr. Shane!”

“Mr. Shane?” Silas asked with his brows arched in confusion.

Meanwhile, Jacqueline narrowed her eyes to a slit and asked, “What sort of business do you have with
Shane?”

“Is that any of your concern? You must be aware that we’re not really on good terms, so why don’t you
stop poking your nose into my business?”

Silas was afraid Jacqueline would burst into tears again. Thus, he suggested, “Ms. Graham, I’ll show
you the way out since the chauffeur is already waiting for you. I’ll see you again tomorrow.”



Jacqueline understood that it was a favor from Silas to get her out of the awkward situation. She
expressed her gratitude with a smile and marched in the direction of the entrance.

When she passed by Joyce, she paused for a few seconds and glared at Joyce in the eyes, indicating
she would get her back in the future.

Once Jacqueline departed, Silas looked at Joyce and announced, “I’ll get in touch with Mr. Shane at
once. Please hold on a second, Ms. Rivers.”

Joyce nodded and replied, “Alright.”

A few seconds after the call was made, Silas heard Shane’s voice from the other end, asking
indifferently, “Yes?”

Silas took a peek at Joyce and answered, “Mr. Shane, Ms. Rivers is here for you.”

“Joyce is here?”

“Yes.”

“Has she mentioned the reason she’s here?”

“I didn’t have the chance to inquire the objective of her visit yet. Should I show her the way up?”

A few seconds of silence later, Shane made up his mind and instructed, “Alright, bring her to my office.”

“Understood.” Silas put his phone aside and announced, “Mr. Shane is expecting you. Please follow
me.”

He showed Joyce the way to the elevator and brought her to Shane’s office.



As soon as they reached the highest floor, Joyce marched out of the elevator and barged into Shane’s
office.

Silas gaped in silence because he failed to stop her in time. In order to stop her from making a fuss, he
went after her without further ado.

“Shane!” Joyce stomped her way to Shane’s table and slammed the table with all her might.

Silas’ heart skipped a beat when he noticed the cup of coffee that was next to Shane almost spilled as
a result of the powerful slam.

Has she lost her mind? How dare she picks on Mr. Shane? Isn’t she afraid of being thrown out of the
office?

Shane was in the middle of perusing an agreement when Joyce showed up. He glared at her in the
eyes with a frown and asked, “Are you aware of the things you’re doing?”

Truth to be told, Joyce was intimidated by the man’s ferocious glare, but she was determined to defend
Natalie. Hence, she took a deep breath to calm herself.

Joyce yelled at Shane in return, “Yes! I don’t care what’s awaiting me because I’m here on Nat’s behalf!
What the heck is wrong with you? Since you married her, why can’t you talk things through with her? Is
it necessary for you to punish her in such a brutal manner?”

As a result of Shane glaring at her in silence, Joyce secretly gulped in fear of offending the intimidating
man.

Nonetheless, she knew she had to do it. She added, “Nat’s life is messed up because of you. She
hasn’t been having her meals on time. Not only was she unable to complete the assigned tasks, she



almost got herself involved in an accident. If I wasn’t there to stop her, she might have been dead by
now.”
