Jasmine's eyes turned bloodshot as her body trembled violently. She glared angrily at Joyce as if her eyes could spew venom.

When she saw the change in Jasmine's expression, Natalie stopped laughing and put on a serious expression. “That's enough Joyce, let's not waste any more time with her. After all, she is now a cripple. In case she sets us up, there's no way we can wash our hands of it.”

“You're absolutely right. In that case, let's stay away from her.” Just as she spoke, Joyce backed off at once.

Natalie didn't know whether to laugh or to cry. “Fine, let's go and see Mr. Horner now and pass the things to him.”

“Mmm-hmm.” Joyce nodded. Sidestepping Jasmine, she followed Natalie into Mr. Horner's office.

With that, she left.
