“”Joanna, what exactly is going on?
You guys had a flash marriage, right?”
He was a bit worried if Joanna was stimulated by David’s betrayal, and randomly married a man.
But…
That brother-in-law of his didn’t look like a man who can be easily hooked up with.
“Jeremy, you don’t need to worry about anything else.
For , the most important thing now is to cure your disease.
As for Ashton…
he’s an authoritative expert in cardio-cerebrovascular surgery.
It’s possible for you to recover with him performing the operation for you.”
Jeremy understood everything after hearing this.
“Joanna.” His eyes instantly turned red, “You married him because of , didn’t you?
Is that true?”
He didn’t expect that his sister would trade her lifelong happiness to cure his disease.
Even if his illness was cured, he would still feel guilty.
“Jeremy.” Joanna sighed softly, put down the fruit knife, wiped her hands with a paper towel, and held Jeremy’s hand lightly, “Actually, I don’t feel sad or wronged.
Ashton isn’t an old, bald, and ugly man.
There are many won who would want to marry him.
To be frank, I got an advantage by marrying him.”
“Joanna…”
“Who do you think is better, him or David?”
“…Of course, it’s Ashton.”
“That’s correct.” Joanna took out a paper towel, wiped the tears from his eyes, and said with a smile, “I found a man better than David.
You should be happy for .
Otherwise, wouldn’t it be pathetic for , rejected and alone?”

Outside the door.
The two of them have no idea that their conversation was sent verbatim to Ashton Heath by soone.
Heath Group.
Ashton Heath was having a senior executives eting.
Mobile phones must be kept on silent during a eting, so when they heard a mobile phone vibrating, everyone in the conference room started looking around to locate the source of the sound.
After a few seconds, they saw President Ashton, sitting at the head of the table, picking up his mobile phone and looking at it.
Senior executives: “…”
They were stunned, as Ashton usually never checks his phone ssages during etings.
Sothing even more baffling followed.
They were stunned to see Ashton, who is usually reserved, apparently smile.
Though the smile was fleeting, they all saw it!
Ashton Heath was looking at a Twitter ssage from Denver Lancaster.
Denver: !!
I just heard the girl say you all got married, don’t tell it’s true!!
Denver: You coerced her into getting a marriage license by proposing to do surgery on her brother?
I didn’t expect you to be that kind of person.
Denver: The girl even claid she’s made a profit by marrying you.
Denver: She also said, you are better than her ex.
No, she asked her brother, her brother said so.
After reading all the tweets Lancaster sent, Ashton hooked his lip, and took a rare break during the eting.
He responded to Lancaster’s ssage with one word: Hmm.
Lancaster imdiately replied: What does hmm an?
Did you really coerce her?
Ashton Heath: I’m better than her ex.
Lancaster: …
After a few seconds, Lancaster sent another tweet: You really got married?
Ashton: Can a marriage be fake?
Lancaster: Holy shit!!!

Six o’clock in the evening.
Ashton Heath’s chauffeur arrived at the hospital on ti to pick them up.
The chauffeur was extrely respectful.
When he saw Joanna, he respectfully greeted: “Ms.
Joanna.”
