<h4>Chapter 248: Chapter 250: So I Told Him to Get Lost</h4>


    Joanna Lawrence struggled a bit with embarrassment. Feeling the arm around her waist tightening its hold, she quickly gave up resisting.


    Then, she obediently let Ashton Heath hold her.


    Although she couldn’t see what Jeremy Lawrence’s expression was at the moment, Joanna could guess.


    Her face was a bit hot, a faint blush appearing on her fair cheeks. She pursed her lips and softly replied, "Um, it’s resolved."


    The man’s warm,rge hand pinched the soft flesh on Joanna’s waist. He nced outside the window and said quietly to Zack, "You can go now."


    "Yes, Mr. Ashton."


    Zack started the car and also looked outside the window.


    At the gate of the Benington Vi, a young man in a white suit was looking their way.


    Although his appearance was inferior to their Mr. Ashton, the man was still quite handsome.


    Among ordinary people, he would also be considered outstanding.


    His gentle facial features should have given people a soft feeling, but for some reason, ayer of gloom enveloped his handsome face; his eyes had a hint of fierceness, giving an ufortable impression.


    Zack guessed that it must be Ms. Joanna’s ex-fiance.


    Though he looked like a decent person, his actions were despicable.


    Having an affair with his fiancee’s sister.


    Zack only took a quick nce before shifting his attention back and drove the Rolls-Royce out of the vi area.

    On the road, inside the car.


    Ashton Heath gently stroked Joanna’s soft, long hair in his arms, he casually asked, "What did David Benington say to you just now?"


    "Huh?" Joanna blinked and looked up at him in his arms.


    He looked down, meeting her glossy ck eyes. Recalling how she had criedst time because David Benington doubted her, he hesitated to find the right words before he said, "I saw you talking to him at the entrance earlier."


    "I know you don’t want to deal with him; he’s the one clinging to you."


    "Does he regret breaking up with you and want to get back together?"


    Separated by a road, Ashton couldn’t have heard what David Benington had said.


    But he had his concerns.


    Joanna’s goodness was irresistible even to him, let alone David Benington.


    Regretting breaking up and wanting to reconcile was amon urrence.


    Compared to David Benington, he had enough confidence in his own excellence.


    But no matter how outstanding he was, it couldn’t make up for the more than ten years of feelings between Joanna and David Benington.


    That was the only thing he lost to David.


    Moreover, it was something he cared about.


    When he thought of how Joanna and David Benington had known each other since ten years ago, he couldn’t help but feel ufortable.


    Joanna was taken aback by his question. Realizing that he might be jealous again, she hurriedly rified, "No! He said he wanted to talk to me, but I didn’t agree."


    "He wants to talk to you?"


    This answer didn’t satisfy Ashton and didn’t put him at ease.


    Instead, the handsome man’s eyebrows knitted. "What do you have to talk about with him?"


    "Yeah, I don’t think there’s anything to talk about with him either. So, I told him to get lost." Before Ashton’s jealousy could re up, Joanna quickly said this.


    As expected.


    After she said that, his frowned eyebrows rxed slightly, and his expression eased a bit.


    "You told him to get lost?"


    "Yes." Joanna nodded vehemently, "I told him to get lost."


    "Baby, you did the right thing."
