Even with her practically degrading words, Charles did not back down. At least, he was quiet and that was something.
There was nothing in the entire world that would have to tell her for this situation. Joyce was still standing in between the brothers, ready to intervene in case anything happened.
Her first plan was to avoid any kind of altercation or anything that might even lead to weight. But by the looks of it, it felt like it was going to happen any way.
Her heart was pounding like crazy. All her instincts told her to be anywhere, but in between the two men, but here she was.
If the two of them decided to fight, she was going to get placed in between, and cease to exist.
She was standing in front of Charles, while keeping Adrian by her side as well. Thankfully, her husband had taken a few steps back and there was a bit of distance in between them. However, Joyce still did not move away from Charles. He was the volatile one in the situation.
