Chapter 1211: Chapter 1208: He’s a Taken Man, Right?

As soon as she said this, everyone paused for a moment.

"Ahem, Mom, shouldn’t you go greet the other guests? Your best friends are here." Frank felt that if Madam White continued talking with Joanna for a while, there was no telling what she might reveal.

At this point, it was still uncertain whether Joanna was truly a part of the White family or not, and yet she was already acting this way.

If it were confirmed, Frank could easily imagine that his mother would become a doting parent who spoiled her daughter endlessly.

After seeing Joanna, Madam White’s entire focus shifted to her.

She completely forgot about her best friends.

Only when her son mentioned it did she remember her best friends’ group.

She turned her head to look and, sure enough, saw all her usual close friends had arrived.

As the hostess, she had to entertain them.

Madam White looked at Joanna reluctantly and said, "Joanna, Madam White will leave for a while. I’ll come back to talk to you later. If you’re hungry, go to the hall early; there’s some food there for you to fill your stomach. In any case, if there’s anything you need, just tell Frank and don’t be polite with him, understand?"

Joanna nodded obediently, "Madam White, I understand."

Seeing how well-behaved Joanna was, Madam White became even more reluctant to leave, not even wanting to be away for a second.

But her best friends were calling her from the other side, so she could only leave with a look of reluctance, "Then, Madam White will go attend to things first."

As Madam White’s figure disappeared, Ashton Heath sensed something unusual.

It wasn’t his first time at the White residence.

He had never seen Madam White take such a liking to a girl before.

Although Madam White was indeed an approachable and easygoing person, he had never seen her be so enthusiastic and caring towards other girls.

And she had just asked Joanna about her date and time of birth.

She also said that Joanna caught her eye.

If Ashton hadn’t attended the party with Joanna, he would have certainly thought that Madam White was eyeing Joanna as her daughter-in-law.

But now Madam White knew that Joanna was his girlfriend, so even if she liked her, it wouldn’t be possible for her to have this kind of intention.

So, the remaining possibility...

Ashton’s eyes flashed, and when he looked at Frank again, the animosity in his eyes had greatly diminished.

He thought that he should ask Frank about this matter later on.

If Madam White was treating Joanna differently because of the reason he suspected, then it would be understandable.

If not...

Joanna followed Ashton into the hall.

This time, the White family had invited only a few guests, all of whom were familiar friends. The venue was filled with attractive men and women, all dressed up in their best outfits.

Some were there to attend the party, while others wanted to meet new people through this event.

Ashton had only recently returned to the country, and since he rarely appeared in the public media, both insiders and outsiders knew very little about him.

However, both he and Joanna were personally received and escorted into the hall by Frank himself, so even if the attendees didn’t know his identity, they could guess that he was someone of great importance.

Moreover, both he and Joanna were exceptionally attractive, so as soon as the couple entered the hall, they caught the attention of many people.

"Who is that guy? Do you know him? He’s so handsome."

"He looks unfamiliar; I don’t know him. Did you not see the woman beside him? He must already have a partner."

"She’s just his female companion; it doesn’t necessarily mean he’s taken. How about we ask later?"
