My Secret Billionaire Husband Chapter 2855 - 2865: Who Can Endure This?
Previously on My Secret Billionaire Husband...
"Don’t let this bother you any further, to the point it affects your mood. Concentrate on your variety show, and I will visit in a couple of days. Is there anything you require me to bring you?"
Joanna Lawrence’s focus immediately shifted to a different concern, and she inquired with a pause, "You’ll be arriving in a few days?"
"Yes."
"Won’t that disrupt your work schedule?"
"No, I’ll have a few days off once I wrap up my current tasks."
"In that case, could you bring me two cups of Bubble Milk from Tea Meets Beauty?"
Ashton Heath paused for a few seconds before responding with a hint of amusement, "That’s all? Just bubble milk tea?"
Joanna Lawrence affirmed, "Yes, the milk tea available here simply doesn’t compare. Tea Meets Beauty’s milk tea is truly the finest. I’ve been craving it ever since I arrived."
"Your request is exceptionally simple to fulfill. Anything more demanding?"
Something more demanding?
Joanna Lawrence’s brow furrowed as she pondered, but no other desires came to mind.
At this precise moment, all she truly yearned for was bubble milk tea.
"...I cannot think of anything else right now. I will inform you once something comes to mind. Besides, you aren’t coming for several more days, are you?"
"Very well, notify me when you devise something."

Heath Group, President’s Office.
The instant the call concluded, the man’s previously gentle expression evaporated, replaced by an icy demeanor, and a layer of frost seemed to form in his dark eyes.
Placing his phone on the table, he looked towards Cody Aberton, standing before his desk. A palpable cold aura emanated from him as he commanded, "Instruct the Public Relations Department to immediately retract all negative news concerning Ms. Joanna. Should anyone dare to disseminate further rumors about her, hand them over to the Heath Group’s Law Firm."
"Regardless of the number of individuals involved, pursue legal action against each one."
"Furthermore, identify the individual who initially leaked this information and ensure they face legal consequences."
Cody Aberton stood by, listening with profound apprehension. He risked a swift glance at Ashton Heath’s current expression before lowering his head, wishing he could disappear into the floor.
Oh, heavens.
President Ashton’s current demeanor is absolutely terrifying.
It’s as if the Grim Reaper himself has emerged directly from the depths of Hell.
It’s understandable, really. The rumors of Joanna’s affair with Mr. Parker and their private meetings are tantamount to announcing that President Ashton has been betrayed by his wife.
And the one responsible for this betrayal is none other than his former close friend.
Who could possibly tolerate such a situation?
If I were in his position, I would make every single person who spread those falsehoods pay dearly as well.
"Additionally, ascertain the identity of the intoxicated individual Ms. Joanna encountered at Ripple Pavilion last night. I want him to regret his actions yesterday for the remainder of his life." As Ashton Heath uttered the final instruction, his imposing aura seemed to plummet to subzero temperatures, and the chilling intensity in his eyes sent shivers down one’s spine.
Cody Aberton felt an involuntary shiver, and goosebumps erupted on his arms.
It appeared that the drunkard from last night was indeed in grave peril.
Given President Ashton’s pronouncement, it was clear he had no intention of imposing a lenient punishment.
"Cody Aberton, do you comprehend my directives?" A subtle, yet distinct, thread of deadly intent was woven into Ashton Heath’s cold, resonant voice.
Cody Aberton felt another wave of goosebumps travel up his arms. He immediately straightened his posture and declared with unwavering resolve, "Yes, President Ashton! I shall execute your commands with utmost diligence!"
Ashton Heath’s gaze returned to the phone resting on the table. "You are no longer required here. You may leave."
