<h4>Chapter 1970: Chapter 1964: He cherishes her and her family</h4>


    "I’m really afraid she might do something to hurt you."


    "Annie? She shouldn’t do such a stupid thing now. She knows the consequences and wouldn’t dare to."


    At most, she’d just smear her online.


    Like spreading rumors that she and David Benington rekindled their old romance.


    Based on her understanding of Annie, she wouldn’t dare to do anything more.


    "You can’t be too careless either. A cornered rabbit can still jump over walls. You are better than her in everything now; she must be very jealous. By the way, you must never let her get close to Ashton, or she will definitely have a crush on him with her attitude. "


    "Ashton is a thousand times better than that scum, David Benington."


    Joanna Lawrence: "..."


    She wanted to say that Annie already had a crush.


    "I have absolute trust in Ashton." Joanna Lawrence never had to worry about this issue, "I believe he has higher standards."


    "True. Ashton’s taste couldn’t possibly be that low."


    "Alright, you’ve spent a lot of time here already. Go back to ss." Joanna looked somewhat reluctant as she patted her younger brother’s head, "Jeremy, take care of yourself and protect yourself. You need to live well, so I can be reassured."


    "Sis, I’ll take good care of myself. You need to take care of yourself too. But I’m not too worried about that; Ashton will definitely take good care of you. I remember his birthday ising up soon, right?"


    "Yes, it’s soon."


    "I need to prepare a nice birthday present for Ashton. I don’t know what he likes."


    "He’ll like whatever you prepare. It doesn’t matter what it is, as long as you prepare it with all your heart."

    After visiting Jeremy at school, Joanna went back to find Ashton Heath.


    When she arrived at Heath Group, Ashton had just finished his work.


    He picked up his car keys from the desk and, with one arm around Joanna, walked towards the door, "We can’t go empty-handed to my father-inw and mother-inw’s house. What do you think would be a good gift for them?"


    "Isn’t it unnecessary to buy anything?"


    "How can that be? If we go empty-handed, your parents will think I’m ill-mannered. Let’s go to the mall first, and buy some gifts."


    Joanna heard from Gary White that Sir White hade back.


    She hadn’t met Sir White yet; this time going over, she still felt a bit nervous and apprehensive.


    She knew nothing about the man who was her biological father.


    But, amidst her anxiety, there was a hint of anticipation.


    After leaving Heath Group, they went to a nearby mall.


    Ashton picked a watch for Sir White, a set of jewelry for Madam White, and even bought a suit for Gary White.


    "Why did you also buy a gift for my brother?"


    "Your brother is my elder brother-inw. Building a good rtionship with him only benefits me and has no downside."


    "..."


    *


    They left the mall with their hands full.


    Joanna didn’t even ask Ashton how much he spent.


    Anyhow, it was definitely a heart-aching amount of money.


    Nevertheless, knowing that the money was spent on her parents, she could ept it.


    What’s even more precious was Ashton’s thoughtfulness.


    He cared about her and her family.


    Half an hourter, the ck Rolls Royce stopped outside the White family’s Sun Manor.


    Madam White had been waiting for them.


    Seeing their car stop, she immediately came forward.
