Bedding My Vampire Mate-Chapter 591 Madam Cora Shut Joanna Out

"Is it just now you realised that?" Audrey asked. Her hilarious tone made Joanna burst out laughing; something she hadn't been able to do ever since the last time she saw Kayden.

Not long afterwards the two friends took turns in taking their bath. Joanna dressed up in a matching denim jacket and trousers.

She waited for Audrey to come out of the bathroom and after bidding her farewell she left with her father's home as her destination in mind.

When she reached home, she saw the gate open and a white car driving out.

Just a look at the black car and she saw that the occupants of the car were Adhara and Madam Cora.

She was about to enter the gate but a taunting voice made her pause in her tracks.

"Who do we have here huh? Isn't that the same proud fool who said she won't have anything to do with this household anymore?" Madam Cora taunted, loud enough for Joanna and the two guards standing outside to hear.

"Have you suddenly realised that you are nothing without this family? Is that why you have come crawling back? Are you planning to bawl your eyes out while pleading with your father to take you back?" Madam Cora mocked without hiding her disgust.

"I would have loved to witness that scene but too bad there is no longer any place for you to return to in this family," Madam Cora retorted.

"Your imagination show runs wild for your age but too bad I am not here to plead with anyone," Joanna replied, her head cocked to the side and her shoulders raised higher than usual.

"There is nothing special about this house and this household to entice me to return to. In fact, if I was given the offer to come back with the promise that I would enjoy the privileges the youngest daughter of this household ought to, I would have still said no," Joanna replied, a smug smile plastered on her face.

"You have always been shameless ever since you were a child. You would bawl your eyes out and kneel until your knees got badly swollen in the past anytime we threatened to throw you out of the house. I see no difference between that child in the past and the one standing in front of me," Madam Cora jeered, her fierce stares shot at Joanna's face.

She had intended to make Joanna feel inferior by bringing up the past. What she wasn't aware of was that Joanna had grown thick-skinned to insults like this.

Although Adhara was inside the car along with the driver, she didn't utter a word. She looked at the other side of the window acting as if she had suddenly gone deaf and dumb.

Anyways no one could blame her for acting this way.

After what she went through in Joanna's hands, any wise person would have behaved the exact way she did.

"Yes, I did all those things in the past because I had no choice and I am not ashamed of that... Soon you will be the one bowing to me anytime you see me. I wonder if you will be able to admit your defeat just like I did," Joanna muttered, unfazed by the elderly woman's insults.

"I, bow to you?" Madam Cora crackled as if she had just listened to the funniest joke of a century.

"Your delusion has gotten out of hand I must say... well, let's see how long you can keep this up," Madam Cora continued. She averted her gaze to the three guards standing not far away from Joanna.

"She is forbidden from taking a foot into the house. Anyone who dared to disobey my order will live to regret his actions," Madam Cora commanded coldly.

"Yes Madam," The guards chorused and bowed towards the car.

Joanna watched as the distance between her and the black car Madam Cora occupied grew wider.

"The Old Hag can laugh all she wants... I just can't wait to see the look on her face when I receive the first bow from her. I can already tell that it will be fun," Joanna chuckled.

She turned to walk into the gate afterwards but the guards obstructed her path.

"I won't say much today and it's not that I can't talk but because I am not in the mood for that," Joanna said and immediately a ballfire appeared on her stretched right hand.

"All I can say is that anyone who wants to experience what hellfire tastes like should step forward. I will gladly grant your wish," Joanna stated coldly. Her deadly eyeballs moved from one face to the other.

Fear crept into the guards' hearts as soon as they saw the ballfire in Joanna's hands. Their eyes wavered and they subconsciously moved backwards when they remembered what Joanna did to them the last time they tried to obstruct her path.

"That is how it should be. Well done," Joanna grinned and walked into the building without having to fight ugly with the security guards.

"And where do you think you are going to huh?" A girl's angry voice echoed in the air before the owner of the voice emerged from nowhere and stood in Joanna's path.

"Didn't you hear when Grandma said you aren't allowed into the house?" Laura retorted and shoved her hands into her brown leather trousers.

"I am here to get my Little Rice Ball. I have no time to play with you nor am I in the mood to entertain you with chitchats, so step away and let me pass," Joanna said in a meek tone.

As cool as her voice was, the underlying meaning behind those words didn't escape Laura's notice.

"You might have been able to intimidate the guards but let me see you do the same with me," Laura refused to concede defeat as she took her stance.

"The blow last time was intense. I doubt you have fully recovered from that..."

"Shut the fuck up!" Laura growled, her fist clasped immediately.
