42: Chapter 42: Joanna also came here to eat?
*
Just after Joanna Lawrence and Ashton Heath turned to leave, Annie Lawrence came out of the bathroom.
Just in time, she saw Joanna Lawrence and Ashton Heath’s figures disappear around the corridor.
Although it was just a brief nce, it was enough for her to see that the man holding Joanna was not some short, fat, greasy old man.
He was tall, well-built, and dressed quite impressively.
Even though she didn’t see his face, just that silhouette was enough to make Annie’s heart race.
Surprised, she stood there in a daze, unable toe back to her senses for a while.
Until a voice rang in her ears: “Annie, what’s wrong?”
Annie seemed to snap back to reality, her scattered gaze refocusing.
She blinked and looked at David Benington’s gentle and handsome face, murmuring softly: “David, I just…
saw Joanna.”
“Joanna?”
David’s expression changed slightly: “You mean, Joanna is here for dinner too?”
Of course, David knew the cost of dining at this restaurant.
He also knew that Joanna was currently in a terrible financial situation and couldn’t afford to dine here.
Her appearance could only mean one thing.
Someone brought her here.
Annie noticed every reaction from David, and after a few seconds of silence, a hint of something strange shed in her eyes.
She frowned slightly, “Yeah, I saw Joanna with a man.
They looked…
very intimate.”
“David, Joanna only broke up with you not long ago, and now…
she already found a new love?”
Annie’s words were loaded with insinuations.
As expected, David’s face turned sour after hearing that.
He clenched his fists, “Are you sure the person you saw was her?”
“I’m sure.” Annie confirmed, “I ran into Joanna in the bathroom just now, and even greeted her.
She’s still ming me and refuses to forgive me.
She has a deep resentment towards me now.
Just now, she even threatened me.”
As she said this, Annie bit her lip, her eyes showing a hint of grievances.
“Threatened you?
What did she threaten you with?”
Annie lowered her eyes, looking pitiful and lovable, “I noticed she’s been struggling financiallytely, so I wanted to introduce her to some job opportunities, but she refused.
She told me not to interfere with her life and used me of being someone who likes to recycle trash, picking up men she doesn’t want anymore and treating them like treasures.”
David’s face turned pale, “She really said that?”
“David, why would I lie to you?
Judging by Joanna’s tone, it seemed like she had nned to break up with you long ago.”
“David…”
Annie clung to David’s arm, her voice soft and weak, looking anxious and uneasy: “Could it be that Joanna has really met someone powerful?
She feels betrayed by us, so she wants to use that man’s influence to get back at us?”
David’s face grew uglier, his eyes shadowed with darkness.
He felt a surge of anger, as if he had been cuckolded by Joanna.
Even though he and Joanna had already broken off their engagement, deep down, he still thought of Joanna as his woman.
