Joyce’s scalp felt tingly upon coming to that conclusion. She lowered her head and checked the photo
once more.
This time, she was able to notice that something was off after she had calmed down. Why are Shane’s
eyes closed? Jacqueline is the one who is physically weak, so shouldn’t she be the one who is worn out
and asleep? Why is Shane the one sleeping?
Naturally, it was also possible for the man to fall asleep before the woman did after completing an
energy-depleting act like that. The strange thing was that Joyce couldn’t see any signs of weariness in
either of them.
Joyce was inexperienced in that matter, but she had done enough reading to know that both men and
women would be tired after the deed. The fact that there is no sign of exhaustion means that they didn’t
actually sleep together.
“Mr. Campbell,” said Joyce. She wanted to share her finding with Silas, but all she saw was him
hurrying over to the elevator.
Joyce quickly followed him and said, “Mr. Campbell…”
However, Silas interrupted her before she got to finish her sentence. “Ms. Rivers, I understand why you
are here. You want to help Madam. There is nothing wrong with what you’re doing, but I’m telling you,
there is no way Mr. Shane would betray her. He…”
“I know. This is all a set-up,” said Joyce to finish his sentence. After that, she shared all of her findings
with him.
Silas sighed a breath of relief after hearing everything.
Oh, thank the heavens. Mr. Shane didn’t actually sleep with Ms. Graham.
If anything had happened between them, he would’ve been regarded as having betrayed Madam, even if
he was tricked.
Fortunately, the worst didn’t happen.
The two were quick to arrive outside the room.
Silas and Joyce looked into each other’s eyes for a moment before the latter nodded.
Then Silas got a key card out and opened the door.
The lights inside the room automatically came on as soon as the door was opened.
A woman’s sharp voice came at them before they even entered the room.
Joyce recognized it as that of Jacqueline’s right away. The former was so angry that she tossed her
phone to Silas and requested, “Mr. Campbell, please make a video recording. I want to teach her a
lesson!”
Silas didn’t think it was the righteous thing to do, but he nodded in agreement nonetheless after
considering that Jacqueline had tricked his employer.
Having said that, Joyce rolled up her sleeves and walked toward the bed, tossing a look at the
unconscious Shane before shifting her gaze to the person beside him.
Jacqueline was cowering on the bed with her face hidden under the blanket, trembling uncontrollably like
she was in shock.
Joyce narrowed her eyes and pulled the blanket off right away.
That got Jacqueline completely exposed.
She was wearing a torn dress that could barely hide her skin, and red marks donned the parts that were
exposed. In that state, anyone would assume the worst.
“Aw, looks like things were going really well,” dissed Joyce.
Jacqueline’s eyes bulged on her tear-streaked face as she stared at Joyce in bewilderment and blurted,
“Why are you the one here?”
Joyce grinned and said, “Why am I the one here? Now that is interesting. Who do you think is supposed
to be here?”
Instantly, Jacqueline was rendered speechless. She shifted her gaze down to hide the wicked glint in her
eyes.
She thought that the paparazzi would be the one to show up, but to her surprise, Joyce came instead.
Could it be that Natalie sent Joyce over after seeing that photo? ”Ms. Smith asked you to come over,
didn’t she?” demanded Jacqueline as she reached out to grab Joyce’s hand.
Joyce moved away in disgust before she spat, “That’s right. Isn’t that your intention in the first place? You
sent the photo to Nat to make her send someone over. Once you got caught naked with Shane, the fact
that you two slept together would be exposed. Isn’t that what you wanted all along?”
“No!” insisted Jacqueline as tears kept rolling down her cheeks. She continued, “I sent Ms. Smith that
photo to inform her that Shane forced himself on me. I just wanted her to know that it was not my
intention to hurt her. That’s it.”
