"Joanna seems to have run into some difficulties lately, especially when it comes to finances. We had a quarrel over a small misunderstanding a while ago, and she’s still mad at me. She won’t even answer my phone calls, so even if I want to help her, there’s no way I could."
"I’m really worried that Joanna might do something irrational in her desperation."
Annie’s tone was full of concern for her sister Joanna throughout the conversation.
However, anyone with a bit of sensitivity could tell that there was another meaning hidden within her words.
The other meaning was that Joanna was in desperate need of money, and in that state, she would be willing to do anything for cash.
For example, finding a rich man and becoming his lover.
Everything she did was just for the money.
Any man hearing such words would feel uncomfortable.
After all, no man likes a woman who only cares about their money, even if it’s true, they would still not want to face it directly.
It would hurt a man’s pride and self-esteem.
After Annie finished speaking, she thought the man in the car would surely be angry.
But to her surprise, the man’s face turned cold, his eyes icy as he looked at her and spoke with a voice cold enough to make one shudder: "Are you done?"
Annie was stunned, and an expression of surprise appeared on her face.
She didn’t expect his reaction to be .
"Mr. Brandon, you..."
"Shut up!" Ashton Heath said coldly, "No matter what kind of person she is, she’s the woman I like. Even if she’s really using me for my money, I’m willing to spend it on her."
"You, with your disgusting behavior, are not worthy of being her sister. If I hear one more bad word from you about her, don’t blame me for being rude."
With these words, the car window closed completely. The Lamborghini drove away from Annie the next second.
Soon, the speeding car disappeared around the corner of a tree-lined path.
Annie stood in her original position, her face pale with anger, and almost fainted from fury.
She bit her lip tightly, and the nails embedded in her palm broke one by one due to excessive force, her delicate and frail features distorted.
Had that man been bewitched by Joanna!
He was so protective of her.
And even said he would willingly be used?!
This was the first time Annie had met a man who didn’t care about her at all, and his eyes never looked straight at her from beginning to end.
And, he even said she was repulsive!
This was a severe blow to her, who had always been popular and pursued by men since childhood and had never been ignored by any man.
"Annie, who is that man, after all?"
Only after the Lamborghini had completely disappeared did Linda, as if she had regained her soul, mumble her question.
But her heart still could not be calm for a long time.
The man in the car was undoubtedly the most handsome and well-conditioned man she had ever seen in her career.
Such looks and temperament were unrivaled even in the entire entertainment industry!
But the man was obviously not in the entertainment industry, his demeanor and aura were something that not even the biggest superstars possessed.
Annie was filled with anger and her face turned ashen, "I wish I knew who he is."
Just how noble and prominent was his background, to be so arrogant?
