43: Chapter 43 We can introduce Joanna to him 43: Chapter 43 We can introduce Joanna to him At least, he absolutely couldn’t accept that they had just broken up, and she was already with another man.
After so many years of feelings between them, her heart must still have a place for him.
“Annie, did you get a good look at the man Joanna was with?
What did he look like?” David Benington just wanted to clarify this matter now; he even wanted to find Joanna and ask for an explanation.
“No.” Annie Lawrence shook her head, her eyes flickered a little, thinking of that tall, straight, and extraordinary figure, she lied maliciously, “However, judging from his back, he seed to be quite old.
He was dressed quite grand though; you can tell he’s very wealthy at a glance.”
Upon hearing that, David’s face turned livid.
His eyes were filled with rage: “So she would rather turn to an old man for help than ask ?
Does she hate that much?”
“David, you know my sister’s temperant.” Annie added fuel to the fire, “She has always been arrogant, asking others for help is even harder for her than dying.
Besides, she hates us now more than ever.
There’s no way she’ll co to us for help.”
“Even if you want to help, she won’t accept it.”
With that said, Annie sighed softly, her voice filled with concern: “I can’t bear to see Joanna wasting herself like this.
We have to find a way to stop her from falling further.”
David frowned with a somber expression, “You just said she won’t accept our help.
What other options are there?”
Annie’s eyes twinkled as she stepped forward, gently holding David’s arm: “David, doesn’t the Benington Group have a senior executive who’s still unmarried?
We could introduce Joanna to him.”
“Do you an Manager Prowse?” David knitted his brows, “Isn’t Manager Prowse unsuitable?
He’s already in his forties, more than twenty years older than Joanna.”
“Well, it’s true he’s older, but older n do know how to cherish won.” With an air of sincerity, as if all for Joanna’s good, Annie went on, “He’s more than twenty years her senior, so if they ended up together, he would probably cherish Joanna as if she were his daughter.”
“Besides, he works for your company, and we know him well.
That’s much more reliable than so unknown man from the outside.”
“Moreover, apart from his age, Manager Prowse is quite outstanding in other aspects.
His annual salary must be several million dollars, which could provide Joanna with a good life.
No matter what, it’s got to be better than the man she’s with now.”
In reality, Annie had only t Manager Prowse once.
Not only was he older, but he was also balding, putting on weight, and only about 165 cm tall.
Apart from his decent inco, he was quite ordinary in other aspects.
David also rembered what Manager Prowse looked like, and his frown deepened as he remained silent with pursed lips.
“David…” Annie’s soft, gentle voice sounded in his ear, and she went on softly, “In terms of appearance, Manager Prowse is not a match for my sister.
But when looking for a partner, appearance is secondary, character is what’s most important.
I think we can let them et first.”
David was silent for a long ti.
He naturally felt that Manager Prowse was not a match for Joanna either.
But thinking about Annie’s good intentions, he didn’t want to let her down either.
After a mont, he finally nodded, “Alright, tomorrow I’ll ask Manager Prowse what he thinks.”

The dining experience at a restaurant with five-figure per capita consumption was indeed different.
Dinner was absolutely delicious.
Following her principle of not wasting food, Joanna ate almost everything on the table.
