Chapter 153: Chapter 154: You Need to Face Reality

"Mom, can a dead person fight against us who are alive? Even her own living daughter can’t compete with me, let alone a dead person! I want Joanna to see that whatever she cares about, I can take it if I want to! She doesn’t have the qualifications or the ability to fight against me!"

"The man she loves, her mother’s bedroom, and her identity as the eldest daughter of the Lawrence family – everything will belong to me!"

The maid nearby listened to their mother-daughter conversation without any surprise on her face.

Nowadays, the Lawrence family was entirely under their control.

Anyone who was still loyal to Mrs. Madelyn Lawrence and Joanna had been dismissed.

The reason Caitlin stayed was because she was a distant relative of Benjamin, who had accompanied him for several years during his childhood.

Benjamin couldn’t dismiss Caitlin due to their past relationship.

"My daughter is so outstanding, she deserves the best of everything." Rose Liall patted Annie’s head and said with pride, "This isn’t stealing. It’s just taking back what belongs to you."

"If it wasn’t for the marriage contract, the Benington family wouldn’t have chosen Joanna. You and David are a perfect match, destined for each other. Now that you and David are together openly, and you’re carrying his child, it’s time to arrange a meeting between both families and discuss this matter."

As soon as she heard the word "pregnant", Annie’s eyes flashed an abnormal color momentarily.

She lowered her head to look at her still-flat belly, her hand lightly covering it, as she let her lowered eyelids conceal the unusual emotion in her eyes.

"Ma’am, Miss Annie, Miss Joanna is back."

While the mother and daughter were talking, the maid noticed Joanna walking towards them with an angry face and quickly warned them.

Just a second ago, Rose had a smile on her face. As soon as she looked up at Joanna, her smile disappeared completely.

Her expression turned cold instantly.

"Oh, look who it is. It’s our Miss Joanna of the Lawrence family. Finally, you remembered you have a home and decided to come back for a visit," Rose said sarcastically.

Joanna walked up to them and stopped.

Ignoring Rose’s sarcasm, she looked at Annie standing beside her and coldly laughed, "Annie, I indeed underestimated your shameless capabilities. What, breaking up our relationship as a mistress isn’t enough to satisfy your disgusting desires? You still have to do more to show just how despicable and nauseating you can be?"

At these words, Annie’s face changed instantly.

She wanted to get angry at first, but when she caught sight of Benjamin standing at the stairway entrance, she immediately switched to a weak and pitiful look claiming innocently, "Joanna, do you have any misunderstandings of me? I never wanted to intervene in your relationship with David. Your breakup was caused by you. David said you were always away for film shooting, and he could only see you for three or four days in a month. Your heart was never with him, and he couldn’t take it anymore, which led to the breakup."

"Have you ever thought about why David, who you’ve known for so many years and were about to get married, still broke up with you?"

"Joanna, when love is gone, it’s gone. You need to face reality."
