Chapter 244: Chapter 246: Have You Seen That Man?

Joanna never wore such expensive dresses before. Now that she’s with a rich guy, things have really changed." Seeing the way David looked at Joanna made Annie feel a hint of danger.

Even after meeting that mysterious and prominent man, she wasn’t as keen on David. However, she still needed to secure David’s side before successfully hooking up with the other man.

Just in case.

What’s more, securing David meant that she could still marry into the Benington family and become Ms. Joanna.

Annie was well aware of this.

She wouldn’t let herself face the terrible outcome of having nothing to show for her efforts on both fronts.

Moreover, her pride couldn’t bear seeing her subordinate look at another woman with such infatuated eyes.

And that woman happened to be David’s ex-girlfriend!

Annie’s casual remark successfully made David’s face change in an instant.

The man withdrew his infatuated gaze and turned to face her with a sullen expression, "Are you saying that the dress she’s wearing was bought by that man?"

Annie blinked innocently, "I can’t be sure. But that dress costs hundreds of thousands of dollars, and Joanna wouldn’t be able to afford one herself. Plus, the shoes she’s wearing also cost hundreds of thousands of dollars a pair. David, when she was with you, she never wore such expensive clothes and shoes."

"That man does seem to be quite generous with her. It looks like he really likes Joanna."

David’s face darkened even more.

He recalled their meeting at the Luxe Lounge.

The man whom he thought was a greasy older man, a nouveau riche, turned out to be a strikingly handsome young man with an extraordinary demeanor.

He had always been confident that after breaking up with him, Joanna would eventually regret it and come crying back to him, begging for a reunion.

That’s because she couldn’t possibly find a better man than him.

Yes, she was beautiful, but the Lawrence family was no longer prosperous. She had neither a promising career nor the means to attract an affluent offspring for marriage. At most, she would be just a plaything for the rich.

It was nearly impossible for her to find a suitable marriage partner that was on par with him.

But that man...

David’s confidence waned considerably when he thought of him.

It was hard for any woman not to be moved by a man like that.

Would Joanna fall in love with him?

Would she change her heart?

At this thought, David felt a wave of panic.

This panic felt like something that should have always belonged to him was suddenly being taken away by someone else.

Even if he had already discarded it, he didn’t want anyone else to pick it up.

"At first, I thought the man was much older, but then I saw him again and realized he was quite young. You know, he’s not bad looking, and he’s so generous to Joanna... Do you think she might fall in love with him?"

With each sentence, David’s face grew uglier.

By the time she finished, his face had gone completely dark.

David seemed unable to contain his anger, clenching his fists tightly, "You’ve met that man?"

"Yeah," Annie’s tone was casual as if it was no big deal, "He looks like an affluent offspring. When Joanna caused trouble at home last time, he even came to back her up. It’s all because of him that she’s so arrogant, even hitting both me and Mom."

Recalling the incident, a touch of resentment seeped into Annie’s voice.
