Chapter 556: Chapter 555: I Did It For His Face

It seemed like she hadn’t expected that response.

Joanna Lawrence could feel that the moment her words fell, the pressure around the man beside her suddenly dropped.

The hand resting on her head clearly stiffened, and the stroking motion slowly came to a halt.

Cold air emanated from her side.

In the heat of summer, she suddenly felt a chilling coldness.

She pursed her lips and smiled, addressing Rebecca Kelloway’s astonished and puzzled gaze, calmly and slowly speaking her next words: "Compared to money and power, I think it’s his face and body that attract me more."

"Ms. Kelloway, if you think that Ashton Heath and I are together just because of his money and power, don’t you think that’s belittling his personal charm? Don’t you think that with such a good-looking face, other things don’t matter?"

"If you insist that I covet him for something, then it’s him as a person."

"Don’t you think it’s a particularly happy thing to marry a man who is perfect in both appearance and figure and beyond reproach? Every day when I open my eyes and see such a handsome face, I can’t help but feel wonderful. Even if we have to eat porridge and steamed buns every day, I’m satisfied."

The hand that had been still for a moment on top of her head was no longer so stiff, and the oppressive low pressure that made it difficult to breathe gradually disappeared.

Rebecca Kelloway’s face showed astonishment once again.

Her face changed over and over, filled with a sense of shame and anger after being played.

"Joanna Lawrence, you..."

"So please don’t say that I’m with him just because of his money and status in the future. I’m telling you now, it’s because of his face. For a ’face-loving’ person like me, nothing is more important than a good face. Do you understand?"

Rebecca Kelloway couldn’t possibly believe that Joanna was with Ashton Heath just for his face.

This woman was just being manipulative!

But she saw Ashton Heath’s face had softened, and the corners of his lips had even drawn into an indulgent smile. Unable to help herself, Rebecca blurted out, "Ashton, she’s lying, you can’t..."

"Enough."

Ashton Heath’s gaze turned to her, his eyes becoming cold, and the coldness around him gathered again: "Rebecca Kelloway, you may leave. Our marital matters are none of your concern."

"Ashton, I..."

"I don’t want to repeat the same words a third time." The patience in Ashton Heath’s eyes gradually wore thin, his voice grew colder, and he didn’t even bother to give face, "Get out."

His tone was almost equivalent to expulsion.

Rebecca Kelloway had lost all her dignity and face, all in front of Joanna Lawrence. Her face turned pale, and tears streamed down her cheeks.

At that moment, the office door was pushed open.

Cody Aberton walked in just in time.

Seeing Rebecca Kelloway’s tear-streaked face, he hesitated for a moment before quickly recovering and turning to greet: "President Ashton, Ms. Joanna."

Ashton Heath did not look at Rebecca Kelloway again, coldly saying, "Take Ms. Kelloway out."

"Yes, President Ashton."

It was then that Cody Aberton turned around and looked at Rebecca Kelloway’s swollen, tearful eyes. Sighing inwardly, he bent over and gestured for her to leave, "Ms. Kelloway, please."

He knew it would end like this.

Considering the extent to which President Ashton cherished Ms. Joanna, no one else stood a chance.

What did it matter if they were childhood sweethearts?
