Chapter 1143: Chapter 1140: Are You Willing to Give Up for Me?

"Ashton Heath, what’s wrong with you?" Joanna Lawrence looked at him, eyes filled with a sense of being wronged, "You hurt me just now. I don’t like this side of you."

Even though she knew he was angered by those rumors and scandals.

But, she still felt wronged inside.

Those rumors and scandals were not something she wanted to be circulated.

Plus, he knew that those things were not true. They were false rumors intended to tarnish her reputation.

Even if he was angry, or unhappy, he couldn’t vent his rage on her.

Ashton Heath’s lips were also swollen. That kissing just now, beyond being an outlet for his emotions, contained no feelings. Joanna Lawrence was uncomfortable, and so was he.

Looking at her wronged expression, he also knew that what he had done just now was wrong.

All those things, were not related to her at all.

She was innocent.

He shouldn’t have vented his frustration on her just because those rumors had upset him.

But he couldn’t help it.

Since he saw her and Frank Parker involved in another scandal, and found out that the endorsement she had accepted was from a brand under Parker Group, a nameless anger ignited in his heart, an anger he just couldn’t suppress.

This nameless anger flared up the moment he saw her.

Only then did he understand what the oppressive feeling that sat heavily in his chest was.

He looked at the girl beside him, her wronged eyes were all hued red. Even though his heart ached and he blamed himself, he still steeled his heart and asked, "Joanna, if I ask you to leave the entertainment industry and never associate with it again, would you be willing to give it up for me?"

From the very beginning, he never liked her entering the entertainment industry.

How chaotic and complex this industry was, he knew it better than anyone else.

Such a pure and beautiful girl was not suitable for this complicated world.

Even now with his protection, she was constantly being attacked by others. He couldn’t imagine what it would be like if she were to face it all alone.

She certainly couldn’t stand up against these oppressors.

Facing these rumors, You can’t unring a bell.

He is now very grateful that she officially stepped into this industry after getting to know him. At least, he could help her solve any problems that might arise.

He thought that since she enjoyed filming so much, he would let her do it.

After all, with him around, this impure circle wouldn’t really affect her at all.

As long as she was happy, that was all that mattered.

So even though he didn’t think being an actress was the right job for her, he didn’t stop her.

He never thought about asking her to leave the entertainment industry post-marriage.

He could demand her to do so in exchange for the operation for Jeremy Lawrence.

To save Jeremy, she would certainly agree.

But he knew too well what the consequences would be if he did that.

But now... Ashton Heath had second thoughts.

All those scandlas that seemed to be endless, and those rumors of her with other men...

The latter, despite knowing they were fabricated, still upset him inevitably.

Especially upon knowing that Maddox Allenson and Frank Parker did harbor intimate thoughts for her, he minded even more.

He hated seeing his name paired up with other men’s.

He hated that when she was tangled up in rumors with other men, except for feeling upset, and besides deleting those rumors for her, he could do nothing else.

He couldn’t refute rumors on her behalf with the status of her husband.

He couldn’t tell everyone openly that he was her husband.

He hated this feeling of having a clandestine relationship.
