My Secret Billionaire Husband-Chapter 1964 - 1958: I’ve Already Vent Your Anger for You

He might be able to act as if nothing happened, but Joanna could not.

Her mind was filled with questions.

She had to clarify everything now, or she wouldn’t be able to sleep tonight.

"Hmm? He mentioned quite a few things. Which one are you referring to?" Ashton sat down beside her and naturally pulled her into his embrace.

"Why did you cancel the cooperation with the Parker Group?" Even though Joanna was not clear about business matters, she knew that Ashton’s decision must have had an impact on the Heath Group.

Both the Parker family and the Heath Group were big businesses in Closia.

They had always been collaborating.

Now, abruptly canceling all cooperation, the extent of the loss could be easily imagined.

What could have happened to make Ashton so angry that he would make such a decision?

His actions not only affect the Heath Group but also himself.

His years of brotherhood with Frank Parker were now over.

"Do you want to know the reason?"

"Yes." Joanna nodded, looking at him seriously, "I want to know the reason. Is this matter... related to me?"

She had caught a glimpse of the general idea just now while she was outside.

Although she was not sure about the details, she knew it had something to do with her.

So she had to know the truth.

Ashton looked at her in silence for a few seconds before finally telling her the truth: "Yes, this matter is indeed related to you."

"What does it have to do with me?"

Ashton looked her in the eyes: "The matter with Christian - someone was manipulating it from behind the scenes. Otherwise, Christian wouldn’t have been so bold."

Upon hearing the name "Christian," Joanna thought back to that night and her expression changed.

She connected it to what Ashton had said earlier and quickly guessed some of the facts.

"The person behind the scenes... is it Lady Parker?"

"Yes." Ashton nodded.

Joanna was stunned, her face revealing a mixture of astonishment and confusion: "But why would Lady Parker do this? I don’t even know her."

"Baby, you don’t know her, but she knows you."

"She knows me?" Joanna was puzzled, "But how could she know me?"

"You and her son were involved in a scandal." Ashton paused, then continued, "It shouldn’t have been a big deal. It’s not the first time Frank Parker has been involved in a scandal. But when the Parker and Bridge families were preparing for a marriage alliance, your mere presence upset her and she felt it was standing in the way of that."

"And along with Sunny Bridge’s animosity towards you, this whole thing happened."

Joanna stared at him in disbelief.

She thought that the incident with Christian had been a random accident.

But behind the scenes, Lady Parker had actually been pulling the strings.

Just because Lady Parker saw the scandal between her and Frank Parker and thought it would affect the marriage alliance between the Parker and Bridge families, she would treat her so maliciously?

Joanna was first astonished, and then felt extremely angry.

That night, she had been awakened by her thirst, and that was why her luck had been so good.

But what if she hadn’t woken up?

If she hadn’t woken up, her fate would have been to be drugged and sleep deeply by Christian, oblivious to anything happening around her.

Thinking of this, Joanna was so angry that she started to tremble slightly.

Ashton reached out and gently patted her shoulder: "Don’t be angry, I’ve already taken revenge for you. The Parker family will pay the price for this."
