My Secret Billionaire Husband-Chapter 1850 - 1844: She Really Can’t Accept It!

Sophie’s face also turned pale, clearly frightened.

"Joanna, did you, did you kill someone?" Coco Wadsley looked at Joanna Lawrence with a shocked expression, her eyes filled with terror.

The others, seeing the bloody Chen who had fallen to the ground motionless, also showed expressions of surprise.

They had thought that when Joanna said she had knocked him out, it just meant that she had simply knocked him unconscious.

But no one had expected such a bloody scene.

Porter Rushbrook glanced at the girl beside him.

She appeared to be pure and weak, like someone who couldn’t even catch a chicken—a girl who needed protection.

But she...

Had she actually done this to a grown man like Chen?

Porter began to doubt his own understanding of life.

Swallowing hard, he asked, "Joanna, what, what did you do to him? Is he really..."

"Not dead." Joanna Lawrence looked at the frightened faces in the room and said calmly, "He’s just unconscious. I hit him on the head with a vase. If I hadn’t used enough force, I wouldn’t have been able to knock him out. Instead, I would have just enraged him."

As the oldest in the group, Faye Lister was the first to collect herself.

She stepped forward and examined Chen, then said, "Let’s move him out of here first and then clean up the room. We need to contact the hospital in the town and get him sent there later."

"What, we need to send that old pervert to the hospital?"

Quin Simpson couldn’t understand it and complained loudly, "This kind of old pervert, even if dead, wouldn’t be too much of a loss. We’d be doing society a favor getting rid of him. Why send him to the hospital?"

"It wouldn’t be a loss if such a person dies. However, if he really dies, Joanna would be in trouble." Faye Lister glanced at everyone, "He committed a crime, so he should be handed over to the police for punishment."

Faye continued, "Even if he’s a despicable bachelor, we can’t let him die. His death wouldn’t be a loss, but we don’t want Joanna to be implicated. Let’s get him out first."

The follow-up proceeded quickly.

The person in charge of the Program Group called the police, and when the police found out that a TV station’s celebrity was involved in an accident, they responded swiftly. Within an hour, they had taken Chen away.

Annie Lawrence’s eyes flickered with disappointment as she watched Chen being taken away by the police.

How could that little bitch Joanna have such good luck?

It would have been so much better if Chen had truly defiled her.

Then, that little bitch would have been tainted, and surely, Ashton Heath would have rejected her afterwards.

How could a prestigious man like Ashton tolerate a woman who had been molested by a dirty, smelly old bachelor?

If the news got out, the little bitch wouldn’t be able to lift her head in front of others.

Annie felt more and more regret as she thought about it.

Soon, the police car drove away.

Annie saw Joanna being surrounded by Porter, Quin, and the others, with everyone showing great concern for her. The intense jealousy that welled up in her heart was uncontrollable.

It was like this every time.

Whenever she and Joanna were together, she would be completely ignored.

Yet Joanna became the center of attention.

She thought that she wasn’t inferior to her in any way.

But why did that little bitch Joanna always manage to steal the spotlight?

She really couldn’t stand it!

With her fists clenched, Annie gazed at Joanna’s exquisite profile, a malicious thought quickly flashing through her mind.

Although Chen failed to succeed in his intentions, people don’t necessarily have to believe they failed to be convinced.
