Chapter 1159: Chapter 1156: In this life, I will never let her down

Although David Benington treated her badly, Mrs. Benington had always been good to her.

So even if Joanna Lawrence had extreme disgust for David Benington in her heart, she was still very polite to Mrs. Benington. She smiled and said, "Mrs. Benington, what a coincidence to meet you here."

"Yes, what a coincidence." Mrs. Benington tried to suppress her sadness, "It’s been a while since I’ve seen you. I’ve missed you, Joanna. I’ve said it before - even if you and Da...you are always welcome to come to the Benington family."

Seeing Ashton Heath standing next to Joanna Lawrence, Mrs. Benington suddenly felt awkward about what she just said.

She immediately tried to change the subject, "Joanna, who is this gentleman...Aren’t you going to introduce him to Mrs. Benington?"

"Oh, Mrs. Benington, I forgot to introduce you."

Joanna Lawrence could feel David Benington’s gaze constantly fall on her.

He was staring at her intently.

But she treated him like air, not even looking at him once. She affectionately took Ashton Heath’s arm and introduced him generously to Mrs. Benington, "Mrs. Benington, this is my...boyfriend, Ashton Heath. Ashton, this is Mrs. Benington."

Joanna Lawrence almost mentioned that she used to play at their house when she was younger, but fortunately held back in time.

If she had said that, Ashton’s jealousy would certainly have been aroused.

So she just made a simple introduction.

Fortunately, Ashton was very supportive at the critical moment. Although he was bothered by David Benington, he still acted very generously and politely. He smiled slightly at Mrs. Benington and said, "Mrs. Benington, nice to meet you. Joanna mentioned you before, and I appreciate the care you’ve given her over the years."

Ashton wasn’t one who recklessly hurt others out of jealousy.

Of course, he utterly despised David Benington.

But from Joanna Lawrence, he knew that Collin and Mrs. Benington had treated her well and hadn’t wronged her, so he wouldn’t project his disgust for David Benington onto his parents.

For anyone Joanna Lawrence cared about, he would give them some respect.

And it was the same for Mrs. Benington.

Mrs. Benington was also a generous person.

Even if Joanna Lawrence couldn’t become her daughter-in-law, she was still relieved to see her so happy now.

She looked at Ashton Heath with appreciation in her eyes and said, "Mr. Ashton is really talented and a great match for Joanna. Mr. Ashton, Joanna is almost like a daughter I’ve watched grow up. She’s an extremely good girl, so I hope you’ll treat her well and not let her down."

Ashton Heath’s lips curled up, and he looked down at the girl beside him with adoration in his eyes. "Don’t worry, Mrs. Benington. Joanna is the treasure I want to cherish for a lifetime, I’ll treat her well and never let her down in this life."

He was showing off their affection in public.

In front of an elder, Joanna Lawrence felt a little embarrassed. She raised her eyes shyly and stared at him.

David Benington saw this scene as a flirtatious exchange between them in front of him.

Watching the woman who once belonged to him being so intimate with another man, while she didn’t even spare him a glance, David Benington’s eyes flashed with fury. Unable to bear it any longer, he pulled Mrs. Benington to the side, his face pale with anger as he glared at Ashton Heath and said, "Mom, do you know who he is? You called him Mr. Ashton so politely. It’s the ’good girl’ in your eyes who conspired with this man, making the Benington Group what it is today. Yet you’re still so polite to them!"

Mrs. Benington was stunned, her face changing color, "David, what are you talking about?"
