My Secret Billionaire Husband-Chapter 1888 - 1882: It’s Really Good to Have Money and Power
Joanna Lawrence looked at the man, then turned to Giovanni Vane and said, "Giovanni, can I take the next two hours off?"
"Of course, of course." Giovanni was extremely accommodating. "You can take as long a break as you need. Since Mr. Ashton is here to see you, you should take your time with him."
Ashton Heath had invested five hundred million dollars and had become the biggest investor in this show’s edition.
Giovanni had just found out about Ashton Heath’s real identity.
He was shocked to see Mr. Ashton in person, his heart pounding, barely daring to breathe under his imposing aura.
It had been said before that Joanna Lawrence got to participate in this show because of her connections.
Giovanni had thought so too. 𝑓𝘳𝑒𝑒𝓌𝘦𝘣𝘯ℴ𝑣𝘦𝑙.𝘤𝑜𝑚
But now, he no longer held that opinion.
Given Ashton Heath’s status, if he wanted Joanna Lawrence to appear on a show, she could.
She could easily secure the best resources.
"The Meaning of Travel" was a variety show with excellent ratings. Many artists wanted to be on it, but it was hardly necessary to use Ashton Heath’s connections to get on the show.
If it was because of Ashton’s connection, the resources that Joanna Lawrence should have been the Female Lead 1 in a big blockbuster film.
As for people benefiting from connections, Coco Wadsley was the one doing so.
Joanna Lawrence had maintained quite a low profile, it seems.
Her boyfriend was such an awesome figure, she was the type who could be arbitrary and overbearing, but during her stay in the Program Group, she never displayed any such attitude, and even put up with hardships.
She was so much better than Coco Wadsley and Sophie.
Giovanni even got a free meal from her.
He had tasted the food Joanna Lawrence made. It was absolutely the most delicious among all the girls he knew.
Who could have expected that her boyfriend would turn out to be Ashton Heath.
The equivalent of this was: a group of contestants participating in a PK promotion game, while everyone else was worried about how to get through it, she was the one who directly obtained the card to the final round. And she was the predetermined champion.
Others participated in this show hoping to increase their popularity with this program.
But for Joanna Lawrence, it was an option whether to participate or not.
Any resource, for her, was easy to get.
"Yeah, just take your time with Mr. Ashton." The man next to Giovanni spoke, "Two hours might not be enough. How about this, you don’t have to record the show today, you can take the whole day off."
Joanna Lawrence: "..."
Why did she feel it was so easy to get a day off?
In the previous show, someone else wanted to take a break, but Giovanni and his team were not this accommodating.
She silently looked at the man next to her and couldn’t help but admire the power and privilege of money.
It could make anyone accommodating.
As for Ashton Heath, he was taking it all as a matter of course.
After all, this was his usual treatment. He was used to being treated like this.
"Okay, then I’ll take the day off. Let’s go." Ashton Heath took hold of Joanna Lawrence’s fingers and led her outside.
"Take care, Mr. Ashton, watch your step."
From behind Giovanni and the man next to him escorted them to the doorway, respectfully watching them depart.

A car was parked under a tree outside the yard. It was a black SUV.
A group of villagers were standing beside the SUV, pointing at it and whispering to each other.
