Chapter 171: Chapter 172: Can’t Help but Want to Skin Her Alive

His fragile little heart could hardly withstand being threatened again and again.

"Is there a problem?" Ashton Heath glanced at his slightly resentful expression, his deep eyes narrowing.

"No!" Cody Aberton immediately stood up straight, his back stiff, looking at him with confident eyes, affirming, "Absolutely no problem. President Ashton, please rest assured, I will definitely handle the tasks you’ve assigned."

"Hmm."

Ashton Heath waved his hand: "Go out. There’s someone sleeping in the room, close the door gently."

Cody Aberton: "...Yes."

Hospital.

Ever since Rose Liall had woken up from her coma, she had been crying non-stop.

"Mom, stop crying already."

Annie Lawrence was becoming a bit irritable from her continuous crying, her tone hardened, "What’s the use of constantly crying? I’m already annoyed enough, can you give me some peace and quiet?"

Annie’s assistant was holding an ice pack to her swollen face.

In half a month, her new TV series would start shooting.

By then, she naturally couldn’t show up to the film shooting with a swollen face.

Moreover, she had an announcement in two days, and she had to get rid of the bruise on her face before that.

With red eyes, Rose Liall raised her head, her face full of anger, "You ungrateful girl, what do you mean! Your mother has been bullied like this, and you don’t feel sorry for me, but you find me annoying? Is this the attitude a daughter should have?"

Annie Lawrence pursed her lips, her face also full of anger, she gritted her teeth and said in a low voice, "Do you think you’re the only one who’s been bullied? What’s the use of crying at a time like this? What problem can it solve? Right now, I just want Joanna to pay a painful price."

Hearing the mention of Joanna, Rose Liall’s eyes filled with hatred, her facial expression became twisted, she gritted her teeth and said, "That little bitch is really hateful, I wish I could skin her alive."

"Who knows where she found that man! Actually bullying us like this, it’s simply infuriating! Every time I think of that little bitch trampling us underfoot, I can’t swallow this anger!"

"By the way, have you called David Benington?"

Listening to her babbling complaints, Annie’s thoughts had already wandered elsewhere.

The man Joanna had gotten involved with wasn’t just some wild man.

He was a man even better than David Benington.

Before meeting that man, she thought David Benington was quite good, and she was very satisfied with his qualities.

A man like David could make her look good wherever they went.

But now...

She began to feel unsatisfied.

As soon as she compared that mysterious man with David, she realized that the qualities she originally thought were to David’s advantage were no longer worth mentioning.

The gap between him and that mysterious man was like heaven and earth.

There was simply no comparison.

Her competitive spirit had always been strong, so how could she tolerate the man Joanna found being better than hers!

"Annie, are you listening to me at all!"

Rose Liall’s annoyed voice rang in her ears, pulling Annie back to reality from her wandering thoughts.

Rose Liall frowned at her, "I asked if you called David Benington and when he’s coming to the hospital. What are you doing, you look so out of it. Also, who is that man with Joanna? Do you know him?"
