Chapter 1377: Chapter 1993: Don’t Drive Your Daughter to a Dead End

Thinking of what Ashton Heath had just said, as well as Joanna’s slap on Rose Liall’s face just now, Benjamin Lawrence furrowed his brows, raised his head, and restrained his anger, saying, "What do you want? Are you really trying to push her to death? Joanna, Rose is your elder. How can you hit her?"

"You’re being unreasonable!"

"Even if you don’t like her, she’s still my wife and your stepmother. How can you treat your stepmother like this?"

At this moment, Joanna felt extremely disappointed in Benjamin Lawrence.

He was there just now.

He clearly saw that it was Rose who made the first move. If she hadn’t stopped her, Rose would have slapped her face.

"Mr. Lawrence, I think you’re mistaken about something," Ashton Heath said, looking at his little wife beside him with a sad expression on her face. His gaze grew cold, and when he started to speak again, his address to Benjamin Lawrence had changed.

His voice had also grown colder.

He coldly said, "Those worthy of respect are elders. Some people who are not worthy of respect are not considered elders to me and Joanna. Moreover, Mr. Lawrence is not so old and blind that he can’t see if it’s this woman beside you who’s bullying Joanna or if it’s Joanna who’s bullying her."

"What I saw just now was her trying to slap Joanna. And you didn’t stop her."

"If you can’t bear to see this woman by your side get bullied, of course, I can’t bear to see anyone bully my wife. It’s not just Mr. Lawrence who knows how to protect his wife."

As Ashton spoke, he held Joanna in his arms.

There was not a hint of a smile on his face and his eyes were even colder.

Joanna looked at Benjamin’s face red with anger and worried that he might get sick from his rage. She opened her mouth to speak but heard Ashton coldly say, "Mr. Lawrence, do you think you’re completely clueless about how this woman beside you and Annie treated Joanna? You’re so biased; have you ever considered Joanna’s feelings? Since you don’t want to care for her, I will."

"She’s already my wife, Ashton Heath, and a member of the Heath family. I won’t allow anyone to bully her. Not even her parents. Rose, this is my last warning to you. If you dare do anything else to hurt Joanna, Annie’s punishment will be much worse than it is now."

"If not for the kindness the Lawrence family has shown Joanna, do you think blocking her is all that would happen?"

"Don’t force your daughter into a dead end."

After saying that, Ashton stopped paying them any attention. He lowered his head to look at the girl in his arms, his voice gentle but somber, "Joanna, shall I take you away from here?"

Joanna slowly raised her head from his chest.

She looked at Benjamin Lawrence, who turned his head away with a sullen expression.

Joanna mockingly hooked her lips, thinking her previous worry was quite ridiculous.

"Yes." Without any hesitation, she nodded her head.

Ashton held her and they turned around. Rose wanted to stop them, but as soon as she moved, two bodyguards stepped forward and blocked her path.

Seeing this, Rose’s face changed and she didn’t dare to chase after them.

Seeing Joanna about to disappear around the corner of the corridor, she angrily shouted, "Joanna Lawrence, you are ungrateful and heartless! You will be struck by lightning!"

"You will get what you deserve!"

Joanna followed Ashton Heath to the parking lot and then got into the car with him.
