Chapter 825: Chapter 823: It’s About Your Daughter

Ashton Heath lifted his deep black eyes to look at her, his handsome face showing a slightly more relaxed expression than before.

It was clear that her previous words had pleased him.

A hint of a smile appeared in his eyes, but he kept a poker face: "I didn’t ask you for that."

"Yes, yes, yes." Joanna Lawrence continued to hold back her laughter and indulged the proud man, "You didn’t ask me, I just wanted to buy it for you myself."

"Buy me the expensive one?"

"Yes, buy the expensive one, pick the most expensive one."

"I didn’t force you."

"Yes, yes, yes, you didn’t force me. It was all voluntary."

"As you said, we’ll go to the mall later." As Ashton said this, a faint smile appeared in his eyes and at the corner of his lips.

He pulled Joanna into his arms and let her sit on his lap, holding her as he opened a file: "Just accompany me through the last few files, and then I can leave work."

After finding a comfortable position in his embrace, Joanna put her arms around his waist and said, "Like this, won’t I interfere with your work?"

She was soft and sweet in his arms.

The delicate and inviting fragrance tantalizing his nostrils. It was impossible for her not to have an effect on him.

But the feeling of holding her was too wonderful, and he couldn’t bear to let her go.

A private Luxe Lounge.

In the antique courtyard, a handsome and enchanting man sits in a pavilion.

There was a pond around the pavilion, full of pink lotus flowers.

He leaned against the bright red railing, holding fish food in his hands, his slender fingers pinching the food from the porcelain bowl and tossing it into the pond, attracting a crowd of fish to come and scramble for it.

The stone table beside him was adorned with exquisite coffee utensils. The barista of the Luxe Lounge poured hot water from a ceramic pot into a coffee cup. The moment the hot water was poured, the refreshing coffee fragrance rose into a waft of Yvonne White smoke that spread all over the place.

The air was filled with a pleasant and refreshing coffee aroma.

The barista held the coffee cup and respectfully presented it to the man who was feeding the fish: "Mr. Parker, please enjoy."

Frank Parker threw more fish food into the pond before turning around and taking the wet cloth offered by the waiter to wipe his hands.

After wiping them, he took the cup of coffee.

Just as he took a sip, he heard footsteps slowly approaching.

When the footsteps stopped in the pavilion, a respectful voice sounded, "Mr. Parker, Mr. Benjamin Lawrence is here."

Frank lazily lifted his eyes, casting a glance at the anxious Benjamin Lawrence who was standing there. He hooked the corner of his lips, narrowing his delicate eyes slightly: "Mr. Benjamin, please have a seat."

Seeing that he was still standing, Benjamin Lawrence didn’t dare to sit down first.

In fact, his mood was very nervous and uneasy at the moment.

He didn’t know why Frank Parker had called him over.

The Lawrence family and the Parker family had never had any dealings.

It wasn’t that he didn’t want to have dealings with the Parker family, but with the Lawrence family’s status, they didn’t even qualify to have dealings with the Parker family.

In the eyes of the Parker family, the Lawrence family wasn’t even a small fish or shrimp.

But now, the young master of the Parker family suddenly said he wanted to have a talk with him. Benjamin Lawrence couldn’t figure out why, and thinking about the various evaluations of this young master in Closia, he was extremely anxious and scared.

Everyone knew that this young master of the Parker family had a bad temper, unpredictable, and was very difficult to deal with.

Messing with him meant a dead end.

"Young Master Parker, may I ask what you want to discuss with me?" Benjamin Lawrence nervously clenched his hands and spoke respectfully.

Frank casually walked over to the stone table and sat down, still fidgeting with the coffee cup in his hand. He looked up at Benjamin’s nervous face, revealing a slight smile, but his tone was still polite: "Mr. Benjamin, please sit down and talk. I don’t like having to look up while talking to people. It’s tiring."

When Benjamin Lawrence heard the word "tiring," his face changed slightly, and he hurriedly sat down.

He didn’t dare to make the young master in front of him feel tired.

The barista poured another cup of coffee and placed it in front of Benjamin Lawrence.

Frank waved his hand, signaling the others to leave.

After a moment...

When only the two of them were left inside the pavilion, Benjamin hesitated for a few seconds before nervously asking again, "Mr. Parker, did the Lawrence family ever offend the Parker family? When you suddenly asked to see me, I was extremely anxious, not knowing what was happening. If Mr. Parker has any instructions, please feel free to say it..."

Frank Parker swirled the coffee in the cup, slowly taking a sip before slowly raising his eyes, "Mr. Benjamin, don’t be afraid, I called you here just to ask about something, not to give you trouble."

When Benjamin Lawrence heard that it wasn’t to give him trouble, he couldn’t help but sigh in relief.

The tension visibly eased, and he didn’t seem as nervous as before. His expression relaxed a lot.

"May I ask Mr. Parker what you would like to ask me about?"

Frank narrowed his long and gentle eyes slightly: "It’s a matter concerning your daughter."

"My daughter?" Benjamin Lawrence was taken aback, and the first thing that came to his mind was Annie Lawrence. "Is it about Annie that Mr. Parker is talking about?"

Frank frowned, as if a little displeased: "Mr. Benjamin, you have two daughters, right? Why didn’t you think that I’m looking for your other daughter?"

"You mean...Joanna?"

Although Benjamin did not use social media like Blog, he wasn’t completely ignorant of the online events either.

He suddenly remembered the incident where Frank Parker helped Joanna clear up a scandal on Blog.

And today...

Before he came over, he saw another scandal involving Joanna and Frank Parker.

And then, he was suddenly called over by this young master of the Parker family.

He also said he wanted to talk to him about his daughter.

Benjamin’s mind slowly shifted towards a possibility, his face changing abruptly as he gripped the coffee cup in front of him.

Frank nodded: "Yes, I want to talk about your eldest daughter, Joanna Lawrence."
