19: Chapter 19: His sister Joanna…Could it be that she is cheating!?
She twitched the corners of her mouth, not daring to imagine Jeremy Lawrence’s reaction.
“Wha, what?” Jeremy stared, his eyes almost popping out, “You’re my brother-in-law?”
He looked frantic and lost, turning to Joanna like a child lost at a crossroads: “Joanna, what’s going on?
Wasn’t David my brother-in-law?
How did it change to someone else?”
Ashton Heath’s face darkened when he heard David Benington’s name mentioned.
Once he wore a gloomy expression, his aura became extremely intimidating.
Jeremy was frightened and shivered immediately.
Joanna was most concerned about him, seeing him in such a state, she glared at Ashton Heath: “Why are you scaring Jeremy?
He’s still a patient.
What will you do if you frighten him?”
By now, she wasn’t so terrified of Ashton Heath anymore.
Ashton Heath looked at her protective posture, unimpressed: “As a boy, should you pamper him with such a timid nature?”
“You’re the one who’s too terrifying,” Joanna, in “protective mode,” retorted bravely, “Jeremy isn’t usually this timid.”
Jeremy slowly regained his senses from the shock.
He looked at Joanna and then at Ashton Heath standing next to her, still finding it difficult to accept the truth: “Joanna, is he really my brother-in-law?”
As soon as Jeremy finished asking, a strong gaze fell on Joanna’s back.
She nodded after a few seconds of silence: “Yes.”
“Then you and David Benington…”
As soon as David was mentioned, that terrifying brother-in-law glared at him again.
Frightened, Jeremy stopped halfway through his sentence and didn’t dare continue.
Mentioning David Benington, Joanna’s expression turned cold, and she said lightly, “We broke up.”
Jeremy was stunned: “Why?”
He sneaked a glance at Ashton Heath and suddenly thought of a possibility, which made him feel even worse.
This man, who claimed to be his brother-in-law, was obviously not in the same league as David Benington.
He was much more handsome than David, with a nobler temperament, and especially the unrivaled powerful aura, which was something David could never match.
Without a comparison, David’s condition seemed good enough.
But when compared to this man, the difference was like heaven and earth.
One was a young master from an ordinary generational friendship, while the other was a nobleman from a royal family, totally incomparable.
Jeremy wondered if his sister…
could it be that she cheated?
As far as cheating and adultery were concerned, he absolutely despised such immoral behavior.
But Joanna was his elder sister.
If she really committed such acts as cheating, what could he do?
Just as Jeremy was imagining various scenarios and struggling whether to choose forgiveness, he heard Joanna say coldly, “He and Annie Lawrence are together now.”
Jeremy fell silent for two seconds, then widened his eyes in shock and anger, “He cheated?
He’s with Annie Lawrence now?
How could they do this to you…”
Joanna’s face was expressionless, “In short, I have nothing to do with David from now on.”
“Yeah, your sister has nothing to do with him anymore.
Her man is now me.” Ashton Heath walked over, one hand resting on Joanna’s shoulder, and gently embraced her.
Once he found out that David had cheated on Annie Lawrence, Jeremy was not so resistant to accepting the sudden appearance of his brother-in-law.
