"That’s good." Aria Rowlett breathed a sigh of relief, "Tomorrow is the weekend, and I can go to the hospital to see Jeremy."
"No need." Joanna Lawrence thought for a moment before saying, "Yesterday, the doctor told me that Jeremy would be discharged from the hospital tomorrow. Aren’t you going to take photos for an E-Bay store this week? When you’re free, I’ll invite Jeremy to have dinner together."
"Okay." Aria didn’t insist, and said with a smile, "After this week, I can settle last month’s salary. When I get the money, I’ll treat you guys to dinner. I’ve said before that I’d treat you and the heartthrob, you guys better not look down on the place I choose to take you."
After breakfast, Joanna and Aria walked to class arm in arm.
On the way, they met Lillian White and Gretchen Skerit.
The two headed towards them, pausing when they saw them before putting on a cold face.
Lillian stared at them with a sullen face, then let out a deep, cold laugh.
Gretchen also sneered and then looked away, "Lillian, let’s go. We can’t afford to offend someone who now has connections."
Both of them were holding a small notebook, likely going to submit their self-criticism reports to their counselor.
"Yeah, we can’t afford it." Lillian let out another strange, cold laugh. "I heard that Moon Broadley is still being held at the police station. It wasn’t even that big of a deal, they should have been released long ago. Some people are just malicious, wanting to get others in deep trouble. Staying in such a place for even one day could drive someone crazy, and staying there for too long could even cause depression."
"Well, who can we blame but Moon for not having strong connections like others."
"As long as you know." Although Joanna didn’t react, Aria couldn’t stand their sarcastic remarks and sneered back, "If you think Moon is pitiful, you can go in there and accompany her. She would definitely be touched."
"Aria Rowlett, it’s you again!" Lillian glared at her, grinding her teeth in anger, "What do you think you are, who do you think you are? You want to threaten us?!"
Aria let out a cold laugh, but before she could speak, Joanna slowly said, "Aria’s intention is the same as mine. I’m known to be a malicious person, capable of doing anything. If you guys want to accompany Moon, I can make that happen."
As soon as Joanna spoke, the two arrogant people’s faces suddenly changed.
They just found out today that Moon Broadley and Tessa Wright were still being held at the police station.
The Kelloway and Vane families tried to get them out through connections, but all failed.
Not only that, but they also found out about Hook Group’s bankruptcy.
Obviously, it was all orchestrated by Joanna’s new boyfriend.
Even David Benington didn’t have the power to make Hook Group go bankrupt overnight.
It shows that Joanna’s current boyfriend has even more influence than the Benington family.
They absolutely couldn’t afford to provoke such a person.
As much as they hated the situation, they had no choice but to be cautious.
They could disregard Aria, but they didn’t dare confront Joanna head-on.
No matter how unhappy they were, they could only grit their teeth and hold back their anger, not daring to say anything more.
"Gretchen, let’s go!"
Lillian glared at Joanna with hatred and walked past them with Gretchen.
Aria made a face at their backs, "Hmm, that’ll show them!"
