My Secret Billionaire Husband-Chapter 1904 - 1898: You’re Actually Standing Up For Such A Woman?

Joanna Lawrence emerged from behind Ashton Heath.

Seeing Coco Wadsley and Annie Lawrence, she furrowed her brow.

Ashton Heath turned his head to look at her, an arm protectively around her waist.

This scene filled Annie Lawrence with an overwhelming sense of jealousy.

"Joanna Lawrence." Coco Wadsley came to her senses. She wanted to rush towards Joanna again when she saw her.

But remembering the kick she had received from Ashton Heath just moments earlier, she was too terrified to move from her spot.

"Joanna Lawrence, could we talk?" she asked in a soft, almost pleading tone.

"I have nothing to say to you." Joanna, of course, knew what Coco wanted to discuss. She was already aware that Coco had been dismissed.

She had no intention of forgiving Coco.

No matter what Coco wanted to talk about, she was not interested.

The expression on Coco’s face froze. She bit her lip to suppress her humiliation and pleaded even more earnestly, "Joanna Lawrence, I wanted to apologize to you. I hired someone to spread rumors about you on the Blog. I couldn’t stand you stealing my spotlight, always being the center of attention. I hated that you were more popular."

"I thought that if I tarnished your reputation, made others see you as tainted, they would stop liking you."

"I’m sorry, it was my jealousy that led me to hurt you impulsively. I understand now that I was wrong and I deeply regret my actions. Please, can you forgive me? I promise never to do it again."

"I’m really sorry."

"Please give me a chance to make amends. I’ll do anything you ask if you can just forgive me."

Coco was crying as she spoke, seeming truly remorseful, with a sincere attitude of apology.

But Joanna Lawrence wasn’t buying it.

Keeping a poker face, she listened to Coco’s apology and then, impassively, said, "If apologies were useful, why would we need the police? Sorry, but I do not accept your apology."

"And I will not forgive you."

Coco was taken aback, stunned.

She probably didn’t expect Joanna to reject her apology outright.

She thought she had been humble enough.

Her apology was as sincere as it could be.

She was begging Joanna like this, but she was still rejected!

After saying her piece, Joanna didn’t plan to engage with her any further.

She said to Ashton Heath, "Let’s go."

Ashton Heath nodded, and they walked past Coco with his arm still around Joanna.

Seeing her last hope dashed, Coco fumed. Remembering every grievance she had against Joanna, old and new, her anger surged uncontrollably.

She said bitterly, "Mr. Ashton, do you know what kind of person the woman you’re hugging is? When you’re not here, she has a great time with a bunch of men from the Program Group. She flirted with several male artists on the program. Such a casual woman, do you still want to treasure her?"

"Maybe she’s been cheating on you. Are you really going to stick up for such a woman?"

Upon learning Ashton Heath’s real identity, Coco’s jealousy towards Joanna had intensified.

Why wasn’t she this lucky? 𝑓𝑟𝑒𝘦𝓌𝑒𝑏𝑛𝑜𝘷𝑒𝘭.𝒸𝘰𝑚

She could’ve been with the CEO of the Heath Group.

Once Coco knew Joanna wasn’t going to forgive her, she stopped begging for forgiveness.

But that doesn’t mean she was going to leave just like that.

If she couldn’t live well, Joanna Lawrence shouldn’t be expecting a good life either.
