OH PLEASE, MY EX-WIFE

Chapter 48: Unforgivable

Hearing Alice’s words, Joanna smiles triumphantly, seeing as she is sensible.

Rather, Edward’s face sinks, his black orbs gazing closely at Alice. Why is she lying and not complaining about it to him?

The only response he receives is a stubborn and indifferent expression from Alice.

“Edward, see? It is obvious that she splashed water at me. It’s fine. I will be the bigger person. There’s not enough time, Father is at home waiting for us to get back.”

Joanna acts as if she is generous to let Alice go and tilts her body to face Edward. She takes the initiative to hold his arms but is avoided by him.

In an instant, Joanna’s appearance displays embarrassment, again scolding Alice internally.

Edward’s sculptured brows frown, he doesn’t see Joanna’s expression. After a long while, he spits, “I don’t have time, let’s talk about it next time!” He neither refuses nor agrees.

At this time, the extremely fretful Julie also barges in, watching this stalemate scene. Glaring at Joanna, “What the hell are you thinking of doing, still standing here and not leaving!”

Joanna is so mad that she stares at Julie. Hesitant about her image in front of Edward, she holds it in.

“Julie…” Alice frowns. She is not afraid to offend Joanna, she isn’t the one to feel insulted, along with the fact that her relationship with Joanna cannot be changed for the better.

But Julie is different, she does not wish for her best friend to offend Joanna because of her, and getting into trouble.

“We’ve finished work, since they are willing to stay here, so let them stay till they are satisfied, let’s go!” Julie walks forward, grabs Alice’s hand, and marches towards the door of the consultation room.

Alice refuses. Before leaving, she glances at the silent Edward and then leaves without looking back.

“Edward, we should also…” seeing Alice leaves, Joanna is very delighted. However, her sentence is cut short as she looks at Edward’s pointed eyes. She does not dare to speak another word.

Edward ignores Joanna, walking out of the hospital with a blank expression. He brushes off how Joanna is stomping angrily behind him.

Up until now, he has never liked Joanna. Otherwise, he will not delay this marriage, but his mother adores Joanna, so he has no choice.

Julie is worried now that Alice has been subjected to such humiliation, how is she feeling? After a lot of heartfelt words, she finally gets the chance to send Alice home.

As soon as they get to the apartment, the two children look at their mother’s swollen face. As Julie is also next to their mother speaking unidentified words, they immediately understand what had happened.

Albert face is as cold as ice, and his body hardens. Additionally, Rebecca, who has always been innocent and bright, rarely displays a straight face, looks angry as well.

The two kids look at one another, and they can tell from each other’s eyes that both are mad at their useless dad. He lets the vixen bully Mommy!

That night, Albert directly lets the stock of SA Group drop by 5%.

During that time, a well-known forum on the Internet shows some indecent photos of someone entering and exiting a bar. Although the heroine is not clear, it can be seen that she resembles the mayor’s daughter, her words, and deeds extremely daring and provocative. One of the pictures shows her dancing closely with a male, almost kissing.

As soon as these pictures come out, they instantly pique the interest of intense onlookers of night owls. Within two hours, they have already reached the top-searched. Many people follow the post and tease the mayor’s daughter, who has always been a goddess in private.

The next day, Joanna calls Edward. She flirtingly asks what about the topic that Father has talked about yesterday.

“Joanna, instead of asking me, I think you should be worried about how to explain what is going on online to your Father!” Edward says, and hangs up right away.

Joanna freezes. Online?

In a moment, Joanna surfs the net and comes across those photos. Her face changes drastically, thinking about the exact time when Edward and her had an argument, she got bored and went to the bar to have some fun.

Who did these?

Before Joanna can catch the person, who had the audacity to mess with her, the next second she is scolded by her annoying father George.

“Joanna, how many times do I have to tell you? You are about to marry Edward, so don’t go around such places and get photographed. In any case, you are my daughter. Can you pay more attention to your image?”

Joanna is already triggered by these photos. Hearing Father’s sentence, she doesn’t suppress her anger, “Father!” “Honey, Joanna was just bored. Who wants Edward to be busy with company affairs all day, having no time to be with her,” Her mother Edna says and grabs George’s hand, trying to make peace between them.

George is helpless against his wife. He stares at Joanna with steel eyes and sits back on the couch furiously, “He is busy, so you don’t go and look for him? Other men aren’t good enough.”

“Father, if only he can be dealt with so easily. I have spent five years but still can’t make him forget that good-for-nothing Alice. Father, I am not willing!”

The more said, the more resentful Joanna gets. In which aspect is she incomparable with Alice, and why is Edward even after so long, still not eager to wed her sooner!

“Alice? Is that the woman who married Edward?” George narrows his eyes, with a hint of coldness.

“Yes, it’s her!”

“Didn’t she leave?”

Speaking of this, Joanna is incredibly pissed, “She came back again, and she is still a doctor in a hospital. If it isn’t for her, Edward wouldn’t be mad at me today.”

“You are George Hale’s daughter. If she fights with you about Edward again, show her some attitude. Also, in this kind of matters don’t always show up by yourself,” George frowns. He stares at his sulky daughter, disappointed.

“Father?”

In comparison with Joanna’s puzzled eyes, Edna, who has experienced tons, understands in some way. She carefully reaches to Joanna to indicate for her to stand up.

Joanna listens sullenly, showing an unintended smile. Her phoenix eyes flash with a gleam of light, and her lips fill with hostility.

SA Group, President’s Office.

A man in a suit and leather shoes, with a perfectly indifferent handsome face, stands with a hand in his pocket. Facing the scenery outside the floor-to-ceiling window, the ink-dark eyes and sharp eyebrows are twisted.

Alice’s words linger in his mind. Along with her indifference during this time, and her involvement with Randall, all these make Edward’s face look displeasing.

He thinks about what she did, and that leaves him with revenge. However, when he watched the events unfold yesterday, he feels pity and wants to be in her place instead.

Her vulnerable expression makes his heart cares uncontrollably again.

He is still concerned about her, even after five years…
