Gravis watched as the discussions broke down and force was used. Would he get involved?

No.

Why should he get involved? Just because Joyce was a woman? Cultivation didn't take gender into account. The cultivation world was different than the mortal world. In the mortal world, one person couldn't have enough power to overthrow whole nations, Clans, or family heads. People needed help from other people in the mortal world since one person just couldn't reach overwhelming power. For mortals, the cooperation between humans was necessary.

Yet, in the cultivation world, this belief would break down. When there were no rules to stop someone from committing all sorts of things that mortals would consider "atrocious crimes", the strength of a single individual became more important than the strength of a group.

So, all in all, Joyce needed to deal with this problem herself. Her father wasn't an enemy of hers, and he also wouldn't kill her. If Joyce wasn't even able to handle something like that, she might as well stop cultivating. Even though her father was way more powerful than her, she wasn't helpless right now. If one didn't have enough power, then one had to get creative. Gravis saw multiple ways which would give Joyce an upper hand.

"Marvin, are you sure about that?" Reginald asked unsurely.

"It's what's best for her," Marvin said evenly.

Marvin also saw how Gravis didn't react at all, which gave him even more confidence. The fact that Gravis didn't get involved showed that he didn't care about Joyce at all. If Gravis wanted the best for Joyce, he would step to her side and help her. This only strengthened Marvin's belief that Gravis was trying to manipulate Joyce.

"You…" Joyce managed to utter through clenched teeth. She was suppressed by Marvin's Will-Aura, but not completely. She could still talk, though it was hard. "You!" she managed to shout through clenched teeth.

"Be silent!" Marvin commanded. "I know what's best for you! As soon as you calm down, you will also realize this."

Joyce's emotions were raging inside her. Frustration, rage, helplessness, hurt, sadness, loss, and many similar emotions all mixed together. She gnashed her teeth so hard that blood started flowing out of her mouth.
