My Secret Billionaire Husband Chapter 2912 - 2442: Wishing She Was a Vain and Greedy Woman
Previously on My Secret Billionaire Husband...
"Annie Lawrence, your sincerity isn’t worth a damn."
Annie was stunned, as she looked up and saw Ashton Heath’s disgusted and contemptuous gaze. She felt as if her every thought had been seen through by him, revealing all her little schemes, leaving her nowhere to hide.
This feeling, like being stripped naked in public, made her feel both angry and humiliated.
She suddenly became furious: "If my sincerity isn’t worth a damn, what about Joanna Lawrence? Even if I am attracted to your status, do you think Joanna isn’t like that? If I’m vain, is Joanna not vain?"
"She’s not vain, yet she could marry you not long after knowing you. If it wasn’t for your status, do you think she’d even give you a second glance?"
When Joanna was mentioned, Ashton turned his head to look at her. In an instant, the coldness in his eyes that had just been directed at Annie turned warm, and the corners of his mouth curved up ever so slightly. With a hint of doting gentleness in his voice, he said, "I’d rather she be a vain woman. If she married me for my status, then I’d have nothing to worry about."
"You, you, what are you saying?"
On the hospital bed, Annie’s pale face showed an utterly shocked expression.
She wondered if she had misheard.
Ashton gently brushed Joanna’s hair and spoke softly, "If she likes my status, as long as the Heath family doesn’t fall and I continue to be the President of the Heath Group, she won’t leave me."
"So I wish she were a vain woman, so I wouldn’t have to worry about her leaving me."
Joanna: "..."
Mr. Ashton, are you sure that by saying this, you won’t anger Annie to death instantly?
If she were Annie, she would be spitting blood in anger and dying on the spot.
"You, you actually... are you out of your mind?" Annie widened her eyes, her face full of disbelief, as she gazed at Ashton in absolute disbelief.
In her view, Ashton had lost his senses.
Otherwise, how could he say such things?
He must have gone mad, completely mad.
Ashton, with Joanna in his arms, turned his gaze back to the pale and lifeless face of Annie. The warmth in his eyes disappeared instantly: "You’ve repeatedly betrayed Joanna behind her back. I thought I’d teach you a lesson, but it seems you’ve brought this upon yourself. There’s no need for me to lift a finger."
After finishing, Ashton didn’t look at her again. Instead, he turned to Joanna and whispered softly, "The visit is over. There’s no need to waste any more time here. Let’s go."
Joanna nodded: "Mhm."
She had come here to hear what Annie wanted to say to her before she died.
Now, she knew everything.
Even the second before Annie died, her hatred for Joanna wouldn’t be diminished in the slightest.
But these things were no longer important to Joanna.
And once Annie died, they would be even less important.
The two of them turned and started to walk out.
As they reached the door, they suddenly heard Annie’s hoarse, strained yell, "Joanna Lawrence, you won’t die a good death, you’ll definitely not die a good death! I won’t let you go, even as a ghost I won’t let you go!"
Joanna’s footsteps paused slightly, then she continued walking out.
Inside the hospital room, Annie continued to scream and shout crazily.
"Joanna Lawrence, I hate you, I hate you!"
"Aaah, Joanna Lawrence, you fucking bitch!"
