Upstairs, Joanna was seething with rage.

Everything seemed to be working against her.

The stark contrast between Lionel's tenderness toward Chloe and his cold indifference toward her was unbearable. No matter what, she couldn't swallow this humiliation.

Chloe was nothing more than a bitch who had climbed into Lionel's bed, yet she had managed to capture his full attention. Everything revolved around her.

Not only did Lionel dote on Chloe, but even the servants treated her with the utmost respect. Even Florence seemed to hold her in high regard.

And Joanna? No matter where she went, she was unwelcome. Even when she stripped naked before Lionel, he couldn't be bothered to give her a glance. This was the greatest humiliation of her life!

For the sake of her dignity, she had to marry Lionel.

Her carefully laid plans had been thrown into disarray. She had been certain that the art center would be easily shut down—until Alex barged in and turned the situation around.

Fine. Since Alex had co

    The group took their seats.Jacob clenched his fists, his liver practically aching with anger at Lionel's arrogance. Madge had to throw him several warning glances to keep him from lashing out.If it weren't for the fact that the wedding was fast approaching, and provoking Lionel might jeopardize the whole thing, Jacob would have loved nothing more than to punch him."Lion, Joanna hasn't been giving you any trouble, has she?" Samuel took a sip of tea, carefully observing Lionel's expression.Lionel raised a brow. "Trouble? How could she? She's gentle, virtuous, and understanding."Whether Joanna was truly good or not wasn't for him to say—soon enough, they'd all see her true colors.Samuel's lips twitched. Lionel's indifferent tone made it impossible to tell if he was being sincere or sarcastic, so he could only chuckle awkwardly and sip his tea."Lion, everything is nearly ready on the Astralis side. Make sure your preparations are flawless—it has to be the best in the world! We can'

    "Come here." Lionel beckoned to Chloe.Chloe hesitated as she descended the stairs, her voice laced with concern. "I... I didn't do it on purpose..."Before she could finish, Lionel pulled her into his embrace, his tone gentle. "It's fine. Also, don't be upset..."What worried Lionel most was Chloe bottling up her emotions and quietly fuming.He knew that even though she had outwardly agreed to let him handle the matter, she must still feel uneasy deep down.A crowd like this irritated him—let alone a woman carrying his child."I... I won't." Chloe shook her head lightly. She said that, but deep inside, a trace of annoyance lingered.Joanna returned after seeing the guests off, only to find Lionel and Chloe cozily nestled on the sofa, completely lost in each other.Pfft—She almost spat out blood in rage.How could there be such a stark contrast?!Just moments ago, she had acted coy and demure, trying to please him, but Lionel had been utterly indifferent—no, worse than that—disgusted

    Florence carried a steaming bowl of soup and knocked on the door. When she heard Chloe's response, she pushed the door open and entered. Chloe had already changed into a loose, comfortable outfit."Chloe, have something to eat." Florence placed the tray on the windowsill and turned to leave."Wait," Chloe called out immediately.Florence stopped in her tracks. Truthfully, she was curious about what Chloe and Alex had discussed at the café, given they had spent quite some time there.While she wanted to believe that there was nothing between them, the lack of a reasonable explanation left her feeling uneasy. However, she was also afraid that Chloe might find out she had been following her.So, in reality, she had no real intention of leaving. The moment Chloe called her, she stopped right away, turning back with a look of anticipation.Chloe smirked internally. How could she not see through Florence's hesitation?Yet, just like Lionel, Florence had too much pride to admit it."Sit down

    By dinnertime, Lionel had returned.Chloe came downstairs, deliberately carrying a bowl that Mandy had secretly taken from the kitchen for her. She placed it on the table in front of Joanna and Grace.With a bright smile, she turned to Joanna and said, "Joanna, your cooking is amazing! I'd love to learn from you someday."Joanna's delicate face stiffened for a moment before quickly returning to normal. She brushed her hair back and replied, "Oh no, I didn't make this. It was Grace. Right, Grace?"Joanna's fair complexion glowed under the lights as she turned her gaze to Grace, showing no hint of discomfort.However, Grace trembled when she was suddenly called out. Her lips twitched, and she stammered, "I—I...""Oh, Grace, why are you suddenly so shy? Everyone in this house knows how great your cooking is! Even the nutritionist says they want to learn from you."Joanna chuckled softly, but her eyes flickered with a sharp warning as she discreetly shot Grace a glare."I—I..." Grace was

    Lionel carried Chloe in his arms and sprinted out to the courtyard. Just as he arrived, Barton pulled up in the car with a sharp screech, stopping right at Lionel's feet.Without hesitation, Lionel climbed in, and the Maybach shot out of the gates like an arrow. Florence and Joanna arrived moments later, only catching a fleeting glimpse of the speeding car."Chloe...wake up. Don't scare me..." Lionel patted Chloe's pale face, his usual composure shattered. The ever-cold and reserved man couldn't hide the tremor in his voice.Chloe remained motionless, eyes tightly shut, as if all life had drained from her body. Blood had already soaked through her nightgown, staining Lionel's pants as well.With trembling hands, he touched her face. A man who could remain unfazed even if the sky were to fall was now unable to bear the sight of the crimson pooling beneath her.

    Chloe lost her child, and Joanna couldn't contain her delight. She hummed a cheerful tune, suddenly finding everyone pleasant to look at and treating everyone with uncharacteristic warmth and kindness.Mandy, on the other hand, was seething with resentment, while Grace spent her days on edge, terrified of Lionel's return and the punishment that might await her.A week passed, and Chloe finally returned from the hospital.Joanna, who had been all smiles for days, found her grin vanishing the moment she laid eyes on Chloe.In her mind, Chloe had tried to use the child in her womb to secure her place, and now that she had lost the baby, her bargaining chip was gone.

    Joanna burned with jealousy, seething with anger as she stormed in. She grabbed Chloe off the bed and dragged her out, ready to feed her to the wolves.Bitch!Normally, Joanna could let things slide, but not now. What the hell was this? She'd just had a miscarriage a week ago, barely gotten back home, and now she was back in bed with a man?!Joanna cursed Chloe fiercely in her mind, but then, oddly, a sense of satisfaction crept in. She knew that a woman who had just miscarried shouldn't be anywhere near a man in bed. That was basic knowledge. But the fact that Lionel didn't care about Chloe's condition, that he was dragging her into bed as soon as he got home—well, that only proved one thing: he saw her as nothing more than a tool.If he truly loved her, he would have been more considerate!This meant that in Lionel's eyes, Chloe was nothing special either!Ha! What was there to be angry about now?Let them have their fun, let them wreck her completely, turn her into trash.Joanna fe
