Chapter 2187: Chapter 2181: He really protects Joanna Lawrence well.
Yannick Luther had originally wanted to persuade Frank Parker again, but when he thought about how much advice he had given in vain, Yannick felt that it was pointless to say anything else.
He knew that unless Frank ca to his own senses, no one could convince him otherwise.
After all, because of this matter, his relationship with Ashton Heath had beco strained. Despite this, Frank was still unable to see reason.
Even less likely would a few words from others make him co to his senses.
Thinking about this, Yannick sighed lightly.
Beauty can lead to errors, indeed.
No wonder there was a saying in ancient tis about “the calamity of a beautiful woman.”
Although, he knew that he couldn’t bla Joanna Lawrence for all of this.
However, it was because of her that their brotherly bond had turned out like it had.
And what worried Yannick more, was if Frank continued down this path, things might beco even worse.
At that ti…
As Yannick thought about it, he felt annoyed.
Ah, what was all of this about?
How could such a dramatic thing have happened between them?
Frank didn’t like Joanna at all in the beginning, so how did he end up falling for her later on?
Yannick racked his brains, but he couldn’t figure out the reason why.

When Rebecca Kelloway brought a glass of wine to Joanna Lawrence and Ashton Heath, Ashton imdiately pulled Joanna behind him.
His eyes were filled with wariness as he stared intently at the glass of wine in Rebecca’s hand.
Rebecca’s expression stiffened involuntarily.
Seeing how Ashton protectively shielded Joanna behind him, and the wariness in his eyes, Rebecca forced a dry, difficult smile: “Ashton, are you afraid I filled this glass with sulfuric acid?”
“Do you think I would splash it on Joanna?”
Even though Rebecca had known that Ashton had no feelings for her, his protective actions towards Joanna just now still hurt her.
He protected Joanna so carefully, as if afraid that anything would happen to her.
Did he really value Joanna so much?
The more Ashton showed concern for Joanna, the darker Rebecca’s face beca.
All of Ashton’s actions felt like slaps to her face, especially when he did it in front of so many people.
He put her in an extrely awkward situation, making her the laughingstock of everyone.
Rebecca bit her lip, her nails digging into her palm, as hatred filled her heart.
Ashton looked at her coldly, “Yes, I am quite afraid.”
“Ashton, you…” Rebecca didn’t expect him to say this. Flustered and feeling even more humiliated, her face grew uglier.
Her eyes reddened with anger. “I know you care about Joanna, but even if I, Rebecca Kelloway, am not worth much, I would never do sothing so despicable! We’ve known each other for more than twenty years, and you actually think I could do sothing so malicious?”
Ashton’s face remained cold: “The length of ti we’ve known each other doesn’t necessarily correlate with how well I know you. So, I can’t be certain whether or not you’d do sothing like that.”
“You…” Rebecca clenched her teeth, her eyes reddening even more.
“Ashton, you’ve misunderstood , and you’ve underestimated !” Holding back her tears and with a resentful expression, she continued, “I ca over just to toast you and Joanna. I wanted to bless you both, I never intended to harm anyone.”
