My Secret Billionaire Husband-Chapter 1984 - 1978: Don’t Want to Lose Face in Front of Joanna Lawrence

The first promotional event took place in Closia.

Half an hour later, Gary White parked the car in the underground parking lot of a hotel.

The promotional event was taking place in a five-star hotel. All the major media in Closia had arrived. Joanna Lawrence followed Gary White out of the car to take the elevator. While waiting for the elevator, she ran into Annie Lawrence who was also on her way to use the elevator.

Annie was dressed to the nines, wearing a low-cut black dress that hugged her figure tightly. Although she was wearing shades, it was evident that her makeup was heavily applied.

Her hair was loosely spread out, covering most of her face. Add to that the sunglasses perching on her nose, nearly her whole face was obscured.

For ordinary people, it would be challenging to recognize her.

But Joanna recognized her at a glance.

Having lived under the same roof with Annie for so many years, even if Annie’s entire face was covered, she could still tell it was her.

Annie was not alone.

She was accompanied by a man.

The man looked around fifty, short and fat, with facial features clustered together due to his excessive weight. Standing next to Annie, he was even half a head shorter than she was.

The man’s hand was wrapped around Annie’s waist, showing an intimate posture.

Annie was laughing and joking with the man initially.

But when she saw Joanna, her body stiffened suddenly, as if frozen, her limbs seemed notably rigid.

The man next to her seemed to feel her sudden change, he raised his head to take a look at her, and asked affectionately, "What’s wrong, Baby?"

Joanna glanced at the man and then at Annie, her lips crinkling into a faint smile.

She had heard about Annie’s dealings before.

But this was the first time she saw what kind of man Annie was keeping company with.

At that moment, Joanna couldn’t help but feel that Annie was relentless in her own way.

After all, she had been together with David Benington for a while.

No matter how David Benington was, he was certainly a lot better than this short, fat old man by Annie’s side.

For the sake of fame, she could coerce herself to be with such a man. Truly, Annie was ruthless.

This man seemed older than Benjamin.

Annie never expected to run into Joanna here.

Let alone a full-on collision.

The second she saw the look in Joanna’s eyes, she knew that Joanna had recognized her.

Hence, a surge of profound shame and anger surged within Annie.

Particularly, Joanna’s gaze made her feel despised.

Letting Joanna witness such a scene was far more unacceptable to her than accompanying these old men.

She could lose face in front of anyone.

But she absolutely didn’t want to lose face in front of Joanna.

"Baby?" Seeing that she did not respond, the man beside her looked at her in confusion and followed Annie’s gaze towards Joanna.

The moment the man’s glance fell on Joanna, his eyes, as big as beans, lit up instantly.

He was staring blankly at Joanna, as if he’d lost his soul.

The man’s reaction further intensified the anger in Annie’s heart.

Even though Annie detested the old man beside her.

But seeing the old man’s reaction to Joanna as if he had lost his soul, without sparing her a second glance, she still felt very angry.

Why were these men all like this when they met Joanna.

Every one of them acted as if their souls had been hooked away.

This despicable Joanna was nothing more than a siren, a siren that specialized in seducing men.
