<h4>Chapter 2339: Chapter 2331: This Charming Man is Also Very Dangerous</h4>


    However, his younger cousin has been pampered by her family from a very young age and adored by many in school. As a little princess who was always sought after, it was inevitable she found it difficult to ept meeting her match in Ashton Heath.


    Upon seeing Wendy Arden frightened to tears by Ashton Heath, Joanna Lawrence instantly felt a pang of guilt.


    She reached out and tugged at Ashton Heath’s sleeve, giving him an annoyed nce, "Why are you being so hard on a little girl? Even if I don’t drink alcohol, I can drink something else."


    As Ashton Heath turned his iceberg-like face towards Joanna Lawrence, it seemed to instantly melt, returning to his usual look of tender indulgence. "When have I been harsh? This is how I always speak; you know that, it’s not your first day around."


    Joanna Lawrence: "..."


    Of course, it wasn’t her first time knowing.


    She also knew that aside from her, Ashton Heath was always this indifferent to others.


    However, seeing Wendy Arden scared to tears, she still felt he was too cold and unconcerned with others.


    He was indifferent to the point of... being out of touch with humanity.


    After all, Wendy Arden was still a young girl.


    Joanna Lawrence was rtively tolerant of young girls like Wendy Arden.


    A sixteen-year-old girl.


    Still very innocent.


    At this moment, Joanna Lawrence had no idea that the girl she saw as innocent wouldter in life be driven to an insane act of jealousy.


    "Mr. Heath, I... I didn’t mean anything else." Wendy Arden said, her eyes watery and her voice filled with hurt, "I just wanted to toast Joanna. I wanted to be Joanna’s friend. I didn’t know Joanna can’t drink when she’s out."


    "It’s just a bit of red wine, even people with poor tolerance can’t get drunk from a little."


    Her words conveyed her grievance.


    Another meaning in her words was that she had never intended to make Joanna drunk. She just wanted to drink a little wine and get to know her.


    However, Ashton Heath’s reaction made it seem as if she had deliberately tried to get Joanna drunk.


    He falsely used her.


    "Mr. Heath, you’re a bit overprotective of Joanna. Has Joanna really never had a drop of alcohol from childhood to now? This is actually not good for her. If she never touches alcohol, won’t she get drunk from just a tiny amount?"


    As soon as Wendy Arden finished speaking, she felt an icy gaze that made her tremble fall upon her again.


    The man’s eyes were colder and more piercing than before.


    She looked up only to be frozen to her core by the icy chill in Ashton Heath’s eyes, as if a cold wind had prated her bones, and she felt frigid from inside out.


    Meanwhile, Wendy Arden mped her mouth shut, so frightened that she didn’t dare to utter another word.


    The man in front of her was mesmerizing.


    She had never seen a more perfect man.


    The most outstanding boy acknowledged by her peers paled inparison to him.


    However, this captivating man was also very dangerous.


    At this moment, Wendy Arden’s feelings towards Ashton Heath were extremelyplex. She admired him, but also feared him.


    She felt attracted to him, much like a poppy emitting a lethal allure,pelling her to move toward him. Even though deep down she was aware of his danger and knew better than to approach him carelessly, the attraction was too strong to resist.


    "I told you, she doesn’t drink when she’s out. You’re a student, not suitable to be her friend, there’s too much of a generation gap between you."
