<h4>Chapter 1262: Chapter 1259: Getting pped in the Face One After Another</h4>


    As she held Madam White, thetter’s body stiffened, and her face held an unnatural expression.


    After a moment of silence, she spoke up, "I promised Joanna this meal yesterday."


    Since finding out that Annie Lawrence might be an imposter, Madam White had taken a disliking to her, which had only gotten worse by now.


    If it weren’t for Gary White asking her to endure it, in order not to startle the snake in the grass, she would have already driven the girl away.


    Furthermore, having spent most of the day together and witnessing Annie’s temper and character, Madam White had grown to despise her.


    She endured it and then said indifferently, "Moreover, the White family only has employees, not servants. It’s not the feudal era anymore, with this master-servant rtionship. Our White family doesn’t practice such things."


    After being rebuked several times, Annie had nowhere to hide.


    Initially, she wanted to show off her superiority in front of Joanna.


    But Madam White had made her lose face in front of Joanna now.


    Her face instantly turned a bit unsightly.


    However, in front of Madam White, she didn’t dare to have a temper. Even if she didn’t care about Madam White’s feelings towards her, she also didn’t want her to be disgusted.


    Especially since she hadn’t yet secured her footing in the White family.


    She still needed to behave obediently and considerately to gain Madam White’s favor.


    "Mom, I’m sorry, I didn’t pay attention to these things," Annie bit her lip, looking pitiable and wronged, "I didn’t mean to look down on anyone. I will be careful in the future, and I won’t call them that way again."


    Madam White gave a faint "Hmm."


    An hour earlier, Gary had called her.


    It could now be almost confirmed that her "daughter" was an imposter.


    Her real daughter should be Joanna Lawrence.


    Although Madam White was angry at being deceived, she quickly became delighted when she thought about Joanna being her daughter.


    She had always liked Joanna.


    With the addedyer of a mother-daughter rtionship, she wanted to get closer to her all the time now.


    After giving a perfunctory response to Annie, she affectionately said to Joanna, "Why did youe so early? Has Ashton finished his work? Right, didn’t you want to see Orange? I’ll take you to see it now."


    "Orange just loves pretty youngdies; it’ll definitely like you," she added.


    "Can we go see it now?"


    Joanna had seen therge Orange in Madam White’s Twitter Moments. Even though Madam White said that Orange was a stray cat, its size and fur were no less beautiful than a house pet.


    It looked so glossy and tempting to pet from being well-fed by Madam White.


    Madam White said with a smile, "Of course, you can. Gary just called me, saying he will be back for dinner. Since it will be a while until he gets home, we can wait for him."


    Right now, Joanna didn’t really feel like petting cats.


    She just wanted to find an opportunity to talk to Madam White alone and ask about the truth regarding Annie’s situation.


    No matter what, she felt she had to tell Madam White the truth.


    She couldn’t let Madam White continue to be deceived by Annie.


    So, when Madam White offered to take her to pet the cat, she agreed.


    "Ashton, I’m going to borrow Joanna for a while. You don’t mind, do you?" Madam White yfully said to Ashton Heath.


    Ashton Heath hooked his lips and let go of Joanna’s hand, "Of course not."


    "Then, let me take her away."
