My Secret Billionaire Husband Chapter 2844 - 2854: Owed Frank Parker a Favor

Joanna Lawrence: "..."

It was accurate to say that.

Nevertheless, a feeling struck her that she was indebted to Frank Parker due to this turn of events.

Even though Gary White was the one who had requested Frank's assistance.

It wasn't her personal request.

In the end, it was due to her involvement that Frank had intervened, causing the brokerage firm to sever ties with Annie Lawrence.

Furthermore, based on Gary White's recent statement, it appeared there was a plan to hinder Annie's career prospects.

Blocking a newcomer's path would be a simple feat for Mr. Parker.

Naturally, if Frank harbored intentions to obstruct Annie, Joanna would not intervene.

Their paths had diverged long ago, and they were now like strangers.

Annie's fate was of no concern to her.

Moreover, from a self-serving viewpoint, Annie's inability to continue in the entertainment industry due to career setbacks would, in fact, be advantageous for Joanna.

It would serve to mitigate potential risks.

Joanna simply harbored a preference for approaching Ashton Heath directly rather than involving Frank in the matter.

Had she done so,

She would not find herself owing Frank any favors.

Currently, Frank Parker was the very last person she wished to be indebted to.

However, with Gary White having already spoken, there was little she could do.

Should she perhaps contact Frank and instruct him to disregard the issue?

It might be more prudent to act as if she were unaware of the entire situation.

After a period of contemplation, Joanna resolved to cease overthinking the matter: "Brother, are you implying that you approve of me remaining here to continue filming the program?"

The prospect of not having to leave the Program Group at this juncture brought her considerable happiness.

"Yes, since Annie is no longer participating, if you wish to stay and complete the filming, you may. However, you are to return home immediately after you finish. Mother has been expressing her concern about you constantly these days. She even contemplated visiting you, but I managed to dissuade her."

"You should place a call to her later and arrange to have dinner at home upon your return. That should alleviate her constant nagging."

"Yes, I understand."

"Very well, I shall end this call now."

Upon concluding the conversation, Joanna promptly initiated a call to Madam White.

The call was answered without delay on Madam White's end, and she greeted Joanna with warmth: "Joanna, I was just contemplating you, and then you called. Oh, our mother-daughter connection truly is telepathic."

Hearing the gentle tone of Madam White's voice, Joanna's heart was filled with warmth, and she affectionately responded: "Mom."

"Ah," Madam White replied joyfully, "Joanna, how are you settling in there? What are the living conditions like? Is it comparable to the places you've stayed before? I've been so worried about you. I considered coming to see you, but your brother advised against it, stating it would put you in a difficult position."

"Your father echoed the same sentiment. He mentioned that you are an adult now, no longer a child, and are certainly capable of looking after yourself. However, what do those two men truly understand about young women? The experiences of boys and girls are vastly different. I cannot find peace of mind without personally witnessing your circumstances there."

"Mom, please don't worry, I am doing exceptionally well here." Joanna's heart swelled with even greater warmth as she listened to Madam White's solicitous words.

Mrs. Madelyn Lawrence had passed away at an early age.

Consequently, regarding maternal affection, Joanna had only experienced it for a fleeting period and had never truly known a life enveloped in a mother's loving care and attention.
