27: Chapter 27: I will take care of everything for you 27: Chapter 27: I will take care of everything for you “I…”
Before Joanna could say anything, his tone grew colder and said, “You are the wife of President Ashton of the Heath Group, of course you have such power.
What’s the point of keeping employees who are blind to this fact?”
Joanna’s eyes lit up: “So, you agree?”
“Joanna, you are my woman, Ashton Heath’s woman.
If anyone dares to wrong you, just tell .
No matter who they are, I will stand up for you.”
“Rember, once you marry , you can do whatever you want.
I’ll back you up in everything.”
Over the phone, the man’s deep, arrogant voice softly entered her ear.
He said: Joanna, once you marry , you can do whatever you want.
I’ll back you up in everything.
At this mont, a warm current gently flowed through her heart.
Throughout the years when she had to rely on herself and force herself to beco independent and strong, the only person she could rely on was herself.
But now…
Suddenly, there was soone telling her that she could rely on him.
No matter what happened, he would have her back.
No matter if he was sincere when he said these words at this mont.
She was still grateful.
Feeling her eyes well up with tears, she took a deep breath and replied softly, “Alright.”

After making the call to Ashton Heath, the senior executives of the mall ca over swiftly.
She returned to the store once again.
Annie had picked out so clothes and was arm-in-arm with David at the register to pay for them.
As Joanna entered the store, a shop assistant spotted her.
The assistant’s face imdiately turned solemn and sneered sarcastically, “Oh, didn’t you leave already?
Why are you back?
Don’t tell you want to steal sothing from our store again?”
Another shop assistant spotted her and caustically chid in, “I advise you not to disgrace Ms.
Joanna any further by getting involved in these petty thefts.
You might be shaless, but she still has her dignity.”
“What’s going on?”
Annie turned around and when she saw Joanna, she was montarily stunned.
“Ms.
Joanna, your thieving sister is back.” One of the shop assistants looked disdainfully at Joanna, then urged the others, “She must be up to no good.
Keep a close watch on her to make sure she doesn’t steal anything.”
Annie gave Joanna a long, hard look before her eyebrows knitted together slightly.
“Joanna,” she said hesitantly, her face pained and her lip caught between her teeth.
“Do you really like the clothes in this store?
If you do, David will buy it for you.
You don’t have to…”
Her voice trailed off, her eyebrows pressing together once more.
As if the words to co would be difficult to say.
The shop assistants all gathered around Annie, one after another, lauding her, “Ms.
Joanna, you’re too good to your thieving sister.
Why should you just buy such expensive clothing for her?”
“Exactly, such expensive clothing is not appropriate for her.
The clothes in our store are only suitable for soone as noble and elegant as Ms.
Joanna.”
“Ms.
Joanna, you have such a kind heart.
This shaless woman has intervened in your relationship with Mr.
David, forcing you two, such a loving couple, to be apart for so many years.
You really don’t have to be this nice to her.”
“So people really have no self-awareness.
Do they not see how they compare to Ms.
Joanna?”
Joanna looked at these shop assistants who praised Annie to the heavens while they belittled her, and a cold smile appeared at the corner of her lips.
