Chapter 379 - 381: There’s No Need for a Reason to Dislike Someone

Chapter 379: Chapter 381: There’s No Need for a Reason to Dislike Someone

Her eyes seemed to be glowing.

The girl tilted her face upward, her delicate features, as if carved, were stunningly beautiful under the close scrutiny.

Her makeup was very light, almost as if she was bare-faced.

Yet she was even more beautiful and natural than many women with exquisite makeup on.

With his status, Frank Parker had encountered many beautiful women.

He had seen all kinds of beauties.

Not to mention, he grew up with Rebecca Kelloway.

But when Joanna Lawrence suddenly appeared before him, he was still momentarily stunned, somewhat dazzled.

Joanna’s beauty was different from Rebecca’s.

Rebecca’s beauty was slightly too aggressive and not gentle enough.

Although visually striking, she gave off a slightly domineering vibe.

Joanna was not like that.

There was nothing on her that seemed overly aggressive; her entire appearance, from head to toe, gave off a comfortable feeling.

At a glance, she had the look of a good student, reminiscent of one’s first love.

Moreover, her temperament was very pure. After all, she had not yet officially entered society, and she still possessed many beautiful qualities.

Frank Parker had encountered many beautiful women, but it was his first time seeing someone like Joanna.

They were getting closer.

He smelled that faint, sweet scent again.

The girl’s aura was clean, pure, and refreshing.

It was a pleasant fragrance.

"You tell me." Joanna, also infuriated, clenched her fists and gritted her teeth. "Where did I offend you? We don’t have any grudges against each other. Don’t you think your actions are inexplicable?"

"Is it because you think I’m not worthy of Ashton Heath? Or is it because of Rebecca Kelloway? You’re standing up for your friend?"

After all, he and Rebecca had a close relationship and were childhood friends.

He knew Rebecca liked Ashton.

It was possible that their group of friends also wished for Rebecca and Ashton to be together.

But in the end, Ashton married her.

Was he resentful on behalf of Rebecca?

Pondering it, Joanna felt there was a strong possibility.

Otherwise, she couldn’t understand why Frank Parker would harbor enmity toward her.

Hearing her mention Rebecca, Frank Parker’s face suddenly changed, and his eyes, filled with a momentary confusion and doubt, instantly became sharp again.

He looked at the woman who was less than half a meter away and suddenly felt a strange sensation in his heart.

It was just a moment ago.

He suddenly felt a baffling familiarity with Joanna.

He couldn’t quite define what it was. It was just that fleeting moment, and the feeling vanished.

His gaze became complicated, and he stared at Joanna for a while before taking two steps back.

"Hating someone doesn’t require a reason." Thinking of that inexplicable familiarity, his brows furrowed, and fragments of memories surfaced in his mind.

It was on his birthday party when he was ten years old.

He had an argument with Rebecca over a trivial matter, and he was very angry. He hid in the backyard, not wanting to see anyone.

He didn’t know why, but he accidentally fell into the swimming pool.

He cried for help for a long time, but no one heard him.

Just as his body was sinking, he could no longer call for help and was on the verge of drowning. He saw a white shadow swimming towards him.
