As soon as he finished speaking, he received a heavy slap on his face.
It made his head tilt to the side.
Even though Joanna Lawrence was already well aware that David Benington was a scumbag, he managed to lower her expectations every time they met.
Just when she thought he was shameless enough, he immediately did something even more despicable.
For a moment, Joanna wanted to gouge out her own eyes.
She laughed out of anger, "David, I really need to thank Annie Lawrence now. If it wasn’t for her, I wouldn’t have known how blind I was."
David covered the slapped side of his face, and slowly turned to face her.
Joanna didn’t hold back her slap at all. David’s fair and handsome face immediately showcased five bright-red finger marks, and blood trailed from the corner of his mouth.
His eyes were slightly red, full of anger and hurt.
Joanna’s gaze was cold and indifferent, and when she looked at him, it was even colder and more distant than when looking at a stranger. "How I choose to live my life is none of your concern. What do you have to do with my business?"
"From now on, I don’t ever want to see you again."
"Because you truly make me sick!"
After saying her last words, Joanna didn’t want to look at him anymore and turned around to walk away.
The moment she left, her retreating figure emanated a sense of determination.
As if they would never meet again.
David had already regretted his words as soon as they left his mouth.
But once they were spoken, they couldn’t be taken back.
When he saw Joanna turn and leave, he panicked.
Without thinking, he chased after her.
He reached out to grab her arm.
"Joanna, don’t go. I’m sorry I said the wrong thing," David tightly clung to her arm, not letting her leave. "I’m sorry, I didn’t mean it. I was just jealous of that man, so I said thoughtless words."
"Joanna, please forgive me."
"I truly love you, I can’t be without you. Can you give me one more chance? I promise I’ll treat you well, love you wholeheartedly for the rest of my life. If you agree, we can go and get our marriage certificate right now."
"Let’s go get our marriage certificate now, okay?"
"I’ll marry you right away."
"If you enjoy film shooting, you can sign with Galaxy Agency in the future. I can use all of Galaxy Agency’s resources to make you famous."
"Joanna, as long as you forgive me and stay with me. I can agree to any conditions."
"Tell me, what do you want? Anything that man can give you, I can give you too."
He was capable of giving her no less than that man.
Whatever that man could give her, he could give her too.
And he could still give her some things that man couldn’t offer.
He didn’t believe that she would genuinely prefer being someone else’s mistress to becoming the glorious and dignified Mrs. Benington.
"David Benington, let go of me," Joanna said, her face ashen.
David’s grip on her arm was strong and tight.
No matter how hard she tried, she couldn’t shake him off.
The harder she tried to shake him off, the tighter he held her arm, "Joanna, please forgive me, just give me one more chance, let me make it up to you."
The two of them struggled in the middle of the street.
Both of them were attractive, and they quickly garnered the attention of passersby.
A few onlookers had already turned their heads in their direction, thinking it was a couple quarreling.
