"I don’t care what kind of women you mess around with outside, but why on earth would you mess with a married woman? I can tell that Joanna isn’t a good person; she’s married yet still not satisfied, and even provokes an unmarried man like you."

"Is her husband so incapable that he can’t satisfy her, so she has the audacity to seduce other men? I heard that before she returned to the White family, she came from a small, ordinary household. No wonder these women who grow up in small households lack discipline and have no understanding of integrity and moral principles!"

Madam White has a deep prejudice against Joanna.

This prejudice is even deeper than the one she had against Rebecca Kelloway.

Although she had complained about Rebecca delaying Frank Parker’s marriage before, she didn’t have a good impression of her either.

However, she didn’t loathe Rebecca.

After all, in Lady Parker’s view, Rebecca’s qualifications and background were well-matched with her son Frank back then. If Rebecca had married into the Parker family and become her daughter-in-law, she would have been satisfied.

And Rebecca was still unmarried.

Joanna, a married woman, has been repeatedly linked to her son in scandalous rumors, which greatly displeased Lady Parker.

In addition, Frank had argued with her over Joanna before, causing strain in their mother-son relationship.

This made Lady Parker loathe Joanna even more.

In her eyes, Joanna was a shameless and flirtatious woman.

She was married yet still seducing her son.

This ruined her son’s reputation.

And made the Parker family a laughingstock in others’ eyes.

Thinking about the phone call her best friend made today, Lady Parker was furious.

Her best friend had a daughter who was the same age as Frank, and both families had intentions of a marriage alliance, so they had arranged a blind date for them.

Frank did go to the blind date.

However, after arriving, he left within five minutes.

Before leaving, he even said some unpleasant words.

Her best friend felt that her daughter had been wronged, and it affected the relationship between her and Lady Parker.

In Lady Parker’s view, it was a deliberate mockery and ridicule from her best friend’s phone call today.

Mocking her son for not wanting so many excellent and unmarried women.

But rather insisting on entangling himself with a married woman.

Unable to take such aggrievement, Lady Parker immediately called Frank to come back.

She attributed all the anger she received to Joanna, naturally picking unpleasant words to say.

However, as soon as Lady Parker finished speaking, she saw her son, who had previously shown no expression on his face, suddenly turned sullen, his expression becoming incredibly gloomy in an instant.

The surrounding temperature seemed to drop several dozen degrees along with his change in countenance.

Even if the person standing in front of her was her son.

At this moment, looking at Frank’s cold and gloomy face, Lady Parker was a bit scared.

"Mom, Joanna is not the kind of woman you describe, and there’s nothing improper between us. Moreover, it’s always me who goes to provoke her, not her provoking me. On the contrary, she’s been avoiding me, hiding from me, and unwilling to have any contact with me."

"The shameless person is your son."

"The one who doesn’t understand integrity and moral principles is also your son."

"If you’re going to talk about poor upbringing, it’s the Parker family’s upbringing that’s poor. It’s your negligence as a mother that led me, your son, to become such a disgraceful person who doesn’t understand integrity and moral principles."
