Then one day after their marriage, she found out that her husband had an affair with her younger sister, and even had a child with her.

At that time, she must have been devastated.

So, she actually stopped hating Annie Lawrence a long time ago.

Moreover, Annie had already paid for what she had done in the past.

As long as she didn’t continue to make trouble, Joanna wouldn’t care about what she did.

However, evidently, this was just her wishful thinking.

She didn’t hate Annie, yet Annie hated her intensely.

She didn’t want anything to do with Annie, but Annie still wouldn’t give up.

Today’s Joanna was no longer the one who had nothing.

She wouldn’t stupidly wait to be bullied.

If Annie continued to pester her, she wouldn’t hesitate to fight back.

Annie Lawrence, cursing and swearing, was taken away by the security personnel.

The farce was quickly put to an end.

"I’m sorry for causing trouble to everyone because of my issues. I didn’t know she would come here and make a scene, otherwise, I would have had someone stop her earlier." Joanna watched Annie enter the elevator before turning around to apologize to everyone with a remorseful expression.

Her "close friend" Porter Rushbrook immediately said, "Cough, what’s there to apologize for? Her legs are on her body, you can’t really stop her if she decides to come looking for you. Fortunately, nothing unexpected happened. When she rushed toward you with that vicious look just now, I was really startled."

"Yeah, Joanna, you don’t have to apologize to us. You didn’t do anything wrong." Mandy Phelps was already somewhat afraid of Joanna because of Annie’s removal. After witnessing how "arrogantly" Joanna "oppressed" Annie just now, her perception of Joanna had now reached a newfound level of fear.

President Ashton’s wife, who looked so soft and sweet, had a character completely different from her appearance.

She looked so soft and sweet.

But those few words she said to Omega Huntley earlier were not soft and sweet at all.

However, Mandy was still quite happy to see Annie’s downfall.

She had a good relationship with Tia.

When Annie took Tia’s spot, Mandy already had a problem with her but didn’t dare to say anything because of her connection to the Parker Group.

"Luckily it was just a false alarm. Now that everything is fine, let’s all go for breakfast." Kelvin Norman, as the most experienced guest in the group, replaced Edward Cooper’s position when he was not around.

Joanna noticed that besides Porter and Kelvin, both Mandy and Sorensen Delafield’s attitudes towards her were different from before.

Mandy had become a lot more cautious when talking to her.

Clearly, she was a little afraid of her now.

As for Sorensen...

After she acted so "arrogant and overbearing" just now, Sorensen’s impression of her probably wasn’t too good anymore.

He might even think she was bullying others because of her powerful connections.

However, Joanna didn’t care much about what others thought of her anymore.

*

Joanna knew that Annie wouldn’t just leave like this.

Chances were, she would turn to the internet to bring up her scandals.

She might claim that Joanna relied on her power to bully a newbie like her.

So, Joanna had long prepared herself for the possibility of her scandals getting exposed.

What she didn’t expect was that her scandals did get exposed that day.

But not because of the incident with Annie.

Joanna was still unaware of her scandal being exposed and continued to record the TV show.

It wasn’t until the lunch break when Linda sent her a message that she found out her affair with Frank Parker had hit the headlines again.
