His car was parked on the side of the road.
After Joanna Lawrence got in the car, Ashton Heath did not drive away immediately. Instead, he sat silently in the car for a while before making a phone call.
Joanna Lawrence heard him speaking to someone on the other end of the phone in an icy tone, "How is that woman being dealt with now?"
"In the future, I don’t want to see her again."
"Deploy Heath Group’s lawyer team, and never allow her to get out in her lifetime."
Soon, he hung up the phone.
Joanna, who was sitting beside him, was frightened by his chilling eyes and tone. She swallowed and looked over at him, "Ashton, who did you just call? Were you talking about Lisha Alcock?"
Ashton Heath’s hand rested on the steering wheel, his eyes still cold as ice, "Yes."
"What... What are you going to do about her?" Joanna was worried that he might impulsively do something illegal and disorderly.
What he had said just now sounded a bit frightening.
"She carried sulfuric acid to find you, intending to ruin you if her career was ruined, and to die along with you. Such a venomous woman can’t be given a second chance to hurt you. I’m going to have Heath Group’s lawyer team sue her and charge her with the most severe crimes. From then on, let her spend her entire life in prison."
"Only then can I feel at ease."
If she were given a chance to get out, the next time, Joanna would face even more dangerous threats.
And the consequences were something he couldn’t even begin to imagine.
"You’re having the lawyers sue her?"
Joanna finally breathed a sigh of relief.
At least he wasn’t thinking about silencing her or something.
It seemed that she had been overthinking it.
"What’s wrong?" Ashton Heath reached out and touched her head, "Do you think this is not enough? What do you want to do?"
"No, this is good!" Joanna quickly said, "Let’s leave everything to the lawyers. However it should be judged, let it be judged."
However it should be judged?
Ashton Heath narrowed his eyes, a hint of coldness in them.
If judged normally, Lisha Alcock would still have a chance to get out.
How could he possibly give this woman another chance?
Since he had deployed Heath Group’s lawyer team, he couldn’t possibly give her another chance.
Letting Lisha Alcock serve her time in prison for good had been his decision under rationality and calmness.
But of course, he wouldn’t tell Joanna about this.
"Yes, leave it to the lawyers. You said you hadn’t had dinner yet? I’ll take you out to eat now, have you thought about what you want to eat?" Ashton Heath withdrew his hand and started the car.
Joanna thought for a moment and felt that there was nothing she particularly wanted to eat.
She asked him, "Have you had dinner yet?"
"Not yet, I was planning to come and eat with you."
"Then pick something you like to eat, I’m fine with anything."
"I saw a fondue restaurant nearby when I was on my way here. You like fondue, don’t you? Shall I take you there to eat?"
"Fondue?" Joanna remembered the time when he had accompanied her to eat fondue until they both threw up, and immediately dismissed the idea, "I’ve just had fondue with Aria in Closia last time, let’s try something else."
Ashton Heath didn’t think too much about it, assuming she genuinely didn’t want to eat fondue, and turned the car onto another street. "In that case, let’s have Barbecue Pork Ribs. You said you wanted to eat this before, and I promised I would make it for you. I have time today, so I can make it for you."
