Rebecca Kelloway probably thought that such words could hurt Joanna Lawrence, making her lose confidence and feel sad and upset.
If that was her intention, then she had miscalculated.
Joanna didn’t feel hurt at all, let alone sad and upset about it.
"Don’t read too much into my words, Ms. Joanna," Rebecca Kelloway refused to admit. "I was just stating some facts. As for why Ashton wanted to marry you, I couldn’t possibly know."
Joanna couldn’t help but smile sarcastically in her heart.
Rebecca obviously meant exactly that, but now she wouldn’t admit it?
If Rebecca had told her directly that she didn’t like her, didn’t want to see her with Ashton Heath, and that Joanna was not worthy of Ashton, Joanna might have appreciated her straightforwardness.
But such a roundabout sarcastic way, not admitting it, made Joanna feel disgusted.
Such behavior was beneath Joanna’s contempt.
"Is there anything else Ms. Kelloway wants to tell me?"
Joanna Lawrence was really too lazy to deal with her, her tone even carried a bit of impatience: "If you’re done, please leave. I’m tired and want to rest."
Rebecca Kelloway was stunned.
Seeing Joanna seemingly not caring at all, her brows knitted together little by little.
Joanna’s reaction was different from what she had imagined.
She thought Joanna would be angry and ashamed.
Or feel inferior, or be heartbroken about it.
No matter which reaction it was, as long as it made Joanna uncomfortable and unhappy, Rebecca would feel much better.
Joanna didn’t show any signs of sadness or upset.
She seemed completely indifferent.
As if the matter had nothing to do with her.
Seeing her , Rebecca became even more irritated: "Ms. Joanna isn’t bothered at all?"
She didn’t believe that Joanna was really not bothered about it, it must be an act.
Joanna raised an eyebrow: "Bothered about what?"
Rebecca’s eyes were heavy: "If Ashton only married you because of that particular reason, and he has no love for you, wouldn’t you mind?"
"Is Ms. Kelloway worried about me?" Joanna Lawrence laughed. "However, no matter why Ashton and I got married, it is a matter between the two of us, and it has nothing to do with an outsider like Ms. Kelloway."
When she said the word "outsider", Joanna emphasized her tone.
Rebecca Kelloway’s face changed suddenly, and her expression finally began to crack: "Does Ms. Joanna really think that once you have married Ashton, you can secure the position of the young lady of the Heath family?"
"That has nothing to do with you either."
Joanna Lawrence became more and more impatient, unwilling to deal with her anymore, and gave her the hint to leave once again: "Ms. Kelloway, can you leave now?"
Being "expelled" so rudely again and again, Rebecca, who valued her face, couldn’t bear it.
Her face lost all its elegance and fake smiles, her eyes darkened, and she stared at Joanna Lawrence coldly for a while before sneering: "I hope Ms. Joanna can always be so confident. I am looking forward to seeing how long Joanna can remain the lady of the Heath family."
"Thank you." Joanna Lawrence pointed to the door. "Take your time leaving."
Rebecca’s lips tightened, her gloomy eyes stared at Joanna for a full minute or so before leaving with a cold face.
The moment the door closed, Joanna didn’t feel the slightest bit sleepy anymore.
After being messed with by Rebecca Kelloway, she had no mood to sleep.
Although she didn’t take Rebecca seriously, being sarcastically mocked by someone for no reason did affect her mood.
