Chapter 743: Chapter 742: Guard against Fire, Theft, and Brothers

Joanna Lawrence closed her eyes and leaned into his embrace without even bothering to respond to him.

She didn’t have the strength to respond to him now.

Ashton Heath was an absolute beast in human skin!

A complete beast!

He wasn’t even human!

They had agreed to take a bath, but he started getting handsy while washing her.

Juxtaposing her against the bathroom wall, Ashton pressed himself on her twice. Although the duration wasn’t long, the man had tried many different styles on her. Joanna cried from the torment.

However, the more she cried, the more excited the beast became.

He used even more shameful techniques on her.

Now she wanted a divorce, but she didn’t know if it was too late.

Ignoring her, Ashton didn’t say anything. He gently kissed her forehead and stroked her cheeks, saying, "I’ll ask for a day off for you. You don’t have to go to the film crew so early tomorrow."

"Get a good night’s sleep and go when you have rested enough."

Joanna, who had been ignoring Ashton the whole time, suddenly opened her eyes. Seeing that he was already taking out his phone, Joanna quickly reached out to stop him, "No, Ashton, don’t ask for a day off for me."

About to send a Twitter message to Gary White, Ashton raised his eyebrows at her words, "Really? You don’t want to sleep in?"

Joanna bit the corner of her lip, "Taking a leave of absence after just a few days in the crew wouldn’t look good. I can crawl out of bed tomorrow morning. Anyway, don’t ask for a day off for me. I don’t want to leave a bad impression on Mr. White."

"What’s the big deal?" Ashton dismissed, "If I ask for a day off for you, he won’t say anything."

"No." Joanna firmly refused, "Even if Yannick Luther and Mr. White have a good relationship and Yannick asked Mr. White to take care of me, I can’t take advantage of this connection to ask for special treatment."

"I must leave a good impression on Mr. White."

Ashton hooked his lips and listened to her talk.

Listening to her, the smile on his lips froze.

As Joanna finished, he sneered, "Mr. White?"

When did his wife and the man surnamed White have such a close relationship?

Calling him "Mr. White" now?

Maddox’s issue wasn’t resolved yet, and now there was another one, Gary White?

If Maddox’s threat level was five out of ten,

Then Gary White’s would be seven.

Joanna once said she admired Gary White.

And women were often most attracted to men they admired.

Thinking about this, his face turned completely dark.

Joanna hadn’t noticed that the jealousy in the man beside her had escalated yet again. She was still earnestly telling him, "Yes, Mr. White. I always thought he was aloof and hard to approach, but it’s not like that at all."

Talking about Gary White, there was a sweet smile on her lips, "He’s quite serious when he’s working, like my former head teacher. However, in private, he’s very gentle, like a friendly neighbor."

She didn’t notice that the man’s face next to her was getting darker.

Ashton tightly pursed his lips, his deep eyes narrowed slightly, and the chill around him was overwhelming.

Gary White was gentle?

Like a friendly neighbor?

Was she sure she was talking about Gary White?

He had been friends with Gary White for so many years, but hadn’t seen his gentle side?

Perhaps he was gentle only to her.

Guard against fire, guard against theft, and guard against friends. Ashton never thought that among those coveting his wife, there would be his friend.
