"Yes, President Ashton."
When Cody Aberton left, he looked somewhat worried at Joanna Lawrence.
President Ashton looked very angry.
In a while, he mustn’t start a fight with Ms. Joanna.
However, it was quite natural for President Ashton to be angry after Ms. Joanna and her ex made that kind of news.
Any man wouldn’t be magnanimous enough to remain indifferent after seeing that kind of news.
Especially since President Ashton cares so much about Ms. Joanna.
If he were in President Ashton’s shoes, he couldn’t take it either.
He’d probably be angry enough to immediately bankrupt the Benington Group.
It’s quite a death wish for David Benington, too.
Previously, sending flowers to Ms. Joanna was enough to anger President Ashton.
Now, he even went as far as proposing to Ms. Joanna in public on the street.
Basically, it’s quite a death wish.
This time, President Ashton must be really angry.
Although when he first told President Ashton about it, he didn’t show any expression or anger, and seemed to be very calm...
However, having been with President Ashton for many years, he knows that in such situations, the more silent he is, the more terrifying the subsequent explosion.
David Benington is doomed.
After Cody Aberton left, he gently closed the office door.
Only after he left did Ashton Heath beckon Joanna Lawrence to come closer.
His aura was too low and his eyes too cold. Although he looked no different from usual, his whole body exuded a "keep out" coldness.
For a moment, Joanna Lawrence didn’t dare to approach him.
She stood in place, stunned for a few seconds.
It was within these few seconds that the man’s eyes grew even colder.
The "keep out" aura around him grew even more intense.
So intense, there was a moment when Joanna Lawrence wanted to turn around and flee the office.
Seeing her standing there not moving, Ashton Heath reached out and forcefully pulled her into his arms.
Joanna Lawrence cried out in surprise, her head hitting his sturdy chest as she was forced to sit on his lap.
Before she could lift her head, a deep voice came from above: "Where did you go today?"
"What were you doing before coming to find me?"
There was a hint of danger hidden in the man’s seemingly calm voice.
Joanna Lawrence noticed this and struggled a couple of times, frowning and calling softly, "Ashton Heath, let me go."
The man’s arm was like an iron clamp, tightly circling her waist.
He used so much strength that it felt like he was trying to cut her in half at the waist.
It was very uncomfortable for her.
"Baby, you haven’t answered me yet." Ashton Heath stretched out his hand to pinch her chin, forcing her to lift her head and look at him with a touch of force in his cold voice, lacking emotion, "Where did you go before coming to the Heath Group? What did you do?"
Even though he didn’t use much strength, Joanna Lawrence’s face still crumpled in pain, and her eyes reddened as she bit her lip and glared at him angrily, "Let go, bastard, you’re hurting me."
Seeing her eyes reddening, Ashton Heath seemed to snap out of it, and the anger in his chest instantly dissipated by more than half.
The arm that encircled her waist loosened a bit, but he still held her possessively and tightly, without letting go completely.
"Answer my question, Joanna." The man was very persistent on this issue, repeating it again, "Where have you been before?"
"Ashton Heath, did you see my scandals?"
After staring at him for a few seconds, Joanna Lawrence had a suspicion in her heart and asked him directly.
