Chapter 999: Chapter 997: Is This the Rhythm of Stirring Things Up?

As for Joanna Lawrence, it didn’t really bother her.

She wouldn’t get angry anyway.

No matter what Lady Octavia said to Ashton Heath, she would find out eventually.

And not being with Lady Octavia and Rebecca Kelloway was a relief for her.

"Joanna, are you..." Ashton furrowed his eyebrows, thinking she was angry.

"I’m just going out for a walk, I’ll be back soon." Joanna knew what he was thinking and didn’t care how Lady Octavia and Rebecca would see her. After hesitating for a few seconds, she tiptoed up and gently kissed Ashton’s handsome face.

That should stop him from having any wild thoughts, right?

Indeed, her kiss worked wonders.

The man’s expression relaxed, and he looked down at her for a few seconds to make sure she wasn’t really angry before he sighed and patted her head, "Alright, go and enjoy your walk. Do you have enough money on you, or do you need me to..."

"No, no, I have enough money with me. When I don’t have enough, I’ll ask you for it."

"Alright," Ashton said indulgently, "Just let me know if you need more."

The two of them demonstrated their affection to each other once again.

Rebecca gritted her teeth as she watched, her nails digging deep into her palms, but she couldn’t feel any pain.

Lady Octavia had looked displeased the whole time.

The more Joanna showed affection for Ashton, the more enraged she became.

In her mind, she had already decided that Joanna was a shameless woman.

That’s why, even when Joanna was simply being affectionate with her husband, Lady Octavia felt that she was deliberately seducing her son.

Such actions of a siren.

After Joanna left,

Ashton returned to his desk and looked coldly at Lady Octavia, "Now can you tell me? What is so important that it required my wife to leave?"

"Lady Octavia, I will step out for a moment as well."

Rebecca, who had been silent all this time, suddenly spoke up with a thoughtful look, "Lady Octavia, why don’t you and Ashton have a talk? I’ll wait for you outside."

Lady Octavia thought that it wouldn’t be good to say certain things in front of Rebecca, so she nodded and said, "Alright, you can go first."

As Joanna came out of the restroom, she saw Rebecca waiting outside.

"Joanna Lawrence, let’s have a talk." Rebecca looked at her coldly, "There are some things that I think we need to clear up."

Joanna looked at her and smiled, "Ms. Kelloway, you weren’t waiting outside just for me, were you?"

She just asked casually, but Rebecca nodded in affirmation, "Yes, I was waiting for you."

Joanna: "...."

Rebecca seemed impatient, "Why don’t we find a place to talk?"

"Sure."

Joanna thought about some things and felt it necessary to have a proper conversation with Rebecca. She nodded, "I want to have a good talk with you, too."

The Heath Group had a coffee shop on the premises.

The two took the elevator downstairs to the coffee shop.

There were still some employees having afternoon coffee in the shop. Some of them recognized Joanna and Rebecca, and as they walked into the coffee shop, they looked at them curiously, anticipating a scene.

Wow.

The CEO’s current girlfriend and his childhood sweetheart were together in the same place.

Was something about to go down?

It was said that the childhood sweetheart came with Lady Octavia today.

Was she trying to provoke the current girlfriend?

Once a woman’s gossip soul is ignited, it’s hard to stop.

After Joanna and Rebecca chose a table and sat down, Joanna didn’t bother beating around the bush and asked directly, "Ms. Kelloway, let’s get straight to the point, shall we?
