My Secret Billionaire Husband-Chapter 2049 - 2043: If This Isn’t Showing Off, What Is It?

"So, you think I would deliberately do something just to prove it to someone who has nothing to do with me?"

Rebecca’s face turned pale, then green with anger, "Whether you did it or not, you know clearly. Joanna, do you think you’ve won? If it wasn’t for Ashton Heath, what would you be?"

Joanna laughed, her expression indifferent, "So what? I’m relying on my own husband, and there’s no shame in that."

Hearing her call Ashton her husband, Rebecca’s face turned even greener.

Even though she was no longer infatuated with Heath.

After all, this was a man she had liked for over twenty years.

She hadn’t completely let go.

In Rebecca’s view, Joanna was intentionally showing off.

Knowing she had liked Heath for so many years, yet still saying such things in front of her.

If this wasn’t showing off, what was it?

This despicable woman!

After the celebrity auction, the Charity Gala was nearing its end.

In the end, the host called a group of people on stage for a group photo.

Those who were called up, be it in terms of fame or experience, were among the top in the industry.

Either they were senior experts or rising stars.

Faye Lister, Porter Rushbrook, and Kelvin Norman were all called up.

Rebecca, who was not part of the industry, was also called up.

When the host called Joanna’s name, she was slow to react.

After the host called her several times, she realized it was her turn,

She hesitated, then stood up and pointed to herself, "Are you calling me?"

"Yes, Ms. Joanna, please come up for the photo." The host smiled politely as he spoke.

Though Joanna was new.

The organizer had already been notified in the morning that she was to be treated specially.

She could not be treated like a newcomer.

On top of that, Heath had donated three hundred million dollars on behalf of Joanna, making her the most generously contributing artist at the Charity Gala. For this reason alone, she would definitely be included in the group photo.

After being called on stage, Joanna felt awkward among these big shots.

She probably guessed why she, a newcomer, could take a group photo with so many important people.

She wanted to keep a low profile, so after going on stage, she silently moved to a corner.

A very inconspicuous place.

"Ms. Joanna." At this moment, the host called her, "Ms. Joanna, what are you doing standing there? Come here."

The host waved at Joanna and pointed to a spot.

When Joanna saw the spot he was pointing to, it turned out to be the central position.

The so-called central position is the most prominent spot in the first row, usually reserved for prestigious veterans in the industry.

Even the rising stars would never presume to stand there.

So when Joanna saw that the host wanted her to stand in the central position, she hesitated and showed a hesitant expression on her face.

As a newcomer, going to stand in the central position didn’t seem appropriate.

Even first-line young idols didn’t stand there.

Everyone was very conscious, knowing their place.

Joanna was also conscious, so she chose to shrink into the corner.

"Ms. Joanna." Seeing her not moving, the host called her again, "Ms. Joanna, come here. Your position is here."

Joanna looked at the prominent position, her heart conflicted.
