<h4>Chapter 602: Chapter 601: You don’t seem very happy?</h4>


    Joanna Lawrence said she understood: "Sure, Linda, you can ask."


    "You and David Benington... what do you think?" Linda asked after some silence.


    Joanna Lawrence was taken aback: "Linda, what do you mean?"


    "You’re not getting back together with him, are you?"


    "...No."


    "That’s good." Linda paused before continuing, "Joanna, I know you’ve known him for a long time, you may..."


    "Linda, you’re overthinking it." Joanna Lawrence cut her off, her voice turning cold, "I’m not so despicable."


    "...Sorry, I was overthinking. Joanna, I just wanted to say that David really is a jerk. Do you know he made Annie Lawrence have a miscarriage? Even if it was wrong of Annie to interfere with your rtionship, it’s really despicable of him to reconcile with you immediately after Annie’s miscarriage."


    "He’s utterly disgusting."


    "He seems like a decent person, but the things he does are inhuman."


    "But Annie Lawrence had iting. Perhaps this is what you call karma. She was the other woman who tried to steal someone’s fiance, and now she ends up miscarrying and being abandoned."


    Joanna Lawrence’s eyes widened in shock: "What did you say? Annie Lawrence had a miscarriage?"


    "Yes." Linda continued, "Although I left Gxy Agency, I’ve been in touch with the people there. I heard that Annie Lawrence and David Benington had a quarrel for some reason, and someone heard her screaming in David’s office."


    "When they went in, they saw her lying on the floor, bleeding."


    "David rushed her to the hospital, where the doctor said she had a miscarriage."


    Joanna Lawrence: "...."


    This news was indeed shocking and unexpected to her.


    If what Linda said was true, and David Benington came to her right after Annie’s miscarriage, then he was truly a despicable person.


    And utterly nauseating.


    She recalled the passionate words he said to her today, and felt a wave of nausea.


    No wonder David suddenly sought to reconcile with her.


    It turned out to be because Annie had a miscarriage.


    At this moment, she was utterly disgusted with David.

    After chatting with Linda for more than ten minutes, Joanna Lawrence hung up the phone. She stood there and thought for a moment before leaving the breakroom.


    As she came out, she saw Cody Aberton in the office too.


    It seemed like he was talking to Ashton Heath.


    In front of the ck office desk, the handsome man seemed to be shrouded in frost, with a somber expression on his face.


    Seeing Joannae out, Cody turned and respectfully greeted her: "Ms. Joanna."


    Joanna nodded, then approached Ashton.


    Ashton turned to look at her.


    He looked upset, his gazecked the usual warmth when looking at her.


    There was a gloomy air about him.


    Meeting his somewhat cold eyes, Joanna Lawrence paused, feeling a bit nervous and anxious.


    "What’s wrong?"


    She approached him and looked down: "You don’t seem to be in a good mood?"


    Ashton Heath remained silent, his lips tightly pressed, and he stared at her with heavy eyes.


    Facing this unidentified oppressive and suffocating feeling, Joanna wrinkled her brow, feeling slightly ufortable.


    She was used to his gentleness, and his current demeanor was unfamiliar to her.


    It seemed... somewhat strange.


    Ashton Heath looked at her with his icy face for a moment, ignoring her question. Then he turned to Cody Aberton and said, "You may leave."
