Rue left for grocery shopping the next morning.
All of a sudden, a loud shriek reverberated through the villa. It was apparent that the shriek came from Joanna’s room.
Samantha was preparing brealdast in the kitchen when she was startled by the shriek. She hastily ran to Joanna’s room.
“What happened, Jojo?” Samantha asked anxiously
Joanna’s eyes were wide in disbelief while Samantha was left puzzled.
Adrian walked into the room with a towel and said, “Will you please stop scaring people first thing in the morning? What the heck is wrong with you?”
Joanna got up from the bed, grabbed her pillow, and swung it ferociously at Adrian. “You still have the nerve to talk to me?! Was it you?!”
Adrian chuckled and said, “You were in trouble and I couldn’t just ignore you, right?”
“Gahhh!” Joanna was so furious that she went berserk upon hearing Adrian’s words. At the thought of last night’s situation, she felt her face burn with
Samantha figured out the situation and said, “Adrian is just fooling around, Jaja.”
Joanna bit her lower lip and glared at Adrian ferociously.
Samantha shrugged, “You had one too many drinks last night. Don’t listen to Adrian’s nonsense.”
“…” Joanna was instantly rendered speechless.
Adrian said, “I had no other choice. I did it for your own good.”
Joanna sat curled on the bed in anger and hugged her pillow but she had no idea what to say.
Samantha sniggered.
“How could you laugh at me! How do you still have the nerve to laugh when you couldn’t be bothered with me?!” Joanna
berated Samantha
Samantha was still fine before Joanna’s remark but her laughter grew louder upon hearing this.
Noticing Samantha was laughing endlessly, Joanna widened her eyes and said, “Fine, fine. Both of you partnered up to bully me and no one’s on my side huh? Sam, I’d like to see if you can still laugh when I seduce your man from you.”
Joanna assumed the mannerism of a malicious woman.
“All right, it’s not a big deal anyway. In addition, how do you know that it was Adrian who helped you last night?” Samantha
askord.
Joanna was stunned.
Adrian said, “Don’t think too highly of yourself, Jojo. I couldn’t be bothered with someone like you. It was my mother, not
1. me. I wouldn’t touch you,‘ Η
“Huh?” Joanna was suddenly rather disappointed. “You’re dead, you’re deal!”
Joanna glared at Adrian and said, “Your words are so unpleasant, Adrian. You’ve hurt my sense of self–respect. There’s not woman out there who doesn’t enjoy a man admiring ber body.”
Joanna was no exception.
Adrian was speechless. “You were screaming and clamoring loudly when I said it was me earlier. Nove that I say it wasn’t me, you told me that I’ve hurt your sense of self–respect. What do you wanti
“…” Joanna was rendered speechless once again
“What is it? You and I don’t see eye to eye.” Adrian waved dismissively and walked out of the room.
Noticing that Adrian had walked away in anger, Joanna and Samantha exchanged one glance before they smiled.
Joanna sakl, “Your Insband is an “ss,”
Samantha said, “You’re constantly spealding so bluntly. Whoever marries you will have one heck of a time listening to you.
Joanna grunted. “I’m letting your husband experience it before i marry someone. Also, this is known as the power of a best friend, okay?”
“You talk too much. All right, go wash up and come for breakfast.” Samantha patted Joanna.
Joanna and Samantha got ready and sat down to have breakfast. Adrian came out of the room and said to Samantha, Sweetheart, I have something to attend to so I won’t be having breakfast ”
Samantha nodded and asked casually, “What are you up to?”
“He’s going to meet his lady,” Joanna said sarcastically, “Adrian, your lady is rather pretty. I heard from Chubbs that she was your class monitor in high school and you used to have a crush on her. Is that true?”
“F*ck. Why is that d*mned Chubbs telling you everything? That’s not true,” Adrian said hastily.
“Is it really not true?” Samantha narrowed her eyes and asked with a sly grin.
Adrian cracked a small smile. “That was before I knew you.”
Joanna caught the point and said, “It’s in the past, but she’s back now. Adrian, if that lady of yours wants to seduce you, will you fall for her?
“Also, she’s very pretty. Or are you planning on getting a companion for Sam?”
Adrian was very frustrated by the women’s query. He looked toward them as he said, “Will you please stop this nonsense? Jojo, if you insist on spewing nonsensical talk like this, trust me when I tell you that I’m going to put you to work in a bar as an escort.”
“You dare?” Joanna glared at Adrian.
“Who is that Reiss girl? Why has she constantly been with you over the past few days?” Samantha asked after sensing that her position as Mrs. Legate was being threatened.
Adrian said, “She’s Seth’s older sister.”
“Huh?” Samantha was dumbfounded and extremely astonished. “Seth’s older sister?”
“Yeah,” Adrian replied.
“She came to Swallowston to retrieve Seth’s ashes and we bumped into each other so we talked briefly. Her father is preparing to work with the Luposlans to overthrow Swallowston’s Battle Warrior Department so I told her not to return to Northrive. Adrian explained
“So it turns out she’s related to Seth. However, she doesn’t speak much. She’s the kind of woman with ulterior motives. Be careful not to be tricked by her, Adrian.” Samantha reminded him.
Women had a keen sense of each other. She could feel that Reiss was not a sincere person.
Joanna said, “There are women who enjoy seeking pity from others with their tragic stories. I can see that Reiss isn’t a good person. Look at her younger brother and her parents. She must be just like them!
Adrian said, “Stop that. You shouldn’t tar people with the same brush. Don’t spout nonsense before anything comes to light.”
Joanna shut her mouth and expressed her recalcitrance after being berated by Adrian.
Adrian chatted with the two women briefly before he left.
