When Love Turns Its Back Chapter 45
"You need to know when to stop creating trouble, Joanna." It was obvious that Wendy was controlling her anger at the other end of the phone. "Back then, I was against letting you and Jeremy get married when Anthea proposed it. However, I eventually relented upon seeing that you're understanding, elegant, and mature. "But no one could've guessed just how incompetent you'd turn out to be. You had three years, yet you still failed to win Jeremy's heart. To this day, he's still hung up over that Slinger woman. Tell me, whose fault is that?"Wendy paused momentarily before she continued. "The blame lies in your incompetence, Joanna.""You're right, Wendy. I am incompetent. So, the best course of action is to get Jeremy to sign the divorce agreement as soon as possible," Joanna replied nonchalantly. "Why, you!" Wendy was livid by her response. Joanna had never dared to speak to her like this before. Still, she was willing to let it slide for the sake of the twins. Wendy shoved her

In the first two years that Eterna Group had been founded, the Beckers hadn't stopped wanting to screw with Elliot. However, Eterna Group was too powerful, and the Beckers couldn't afford to offend them. So, they stopped pulling off petty schemes behind Elliot's back, allowing him and his company to grow.Needless to say, Elliot had severed all ties with the Becker family. He no longer cared about their fates and vice versa. Joanne chuckled bitterly at Elliot's words. She looked at him and asked, "Do you think I give a damn about how Jeremy treats me?"Elliot looked at Joanna. Then, he raised his hand and caressed her head lovingly. They shared a similarly tragic fate. Naturally, they appreciated each other deeply. They might not have been a family, but they were even closer to each other than most families were.…Wendy was very satisfied with how obedient Joanna was. After all, she listened to her orders and moved back to the Hansen residence. When it was night, Wendy ask

There was an empty seat between Joanna and Jeremy when they sat at the round dining table. Meanwhile, Wendy made a point to sit next to him, so she could put food on his plate for the entire dinner. "You've grown much skinnier lately. Here, have more food," Wendy said, sounding upset as she gave him a piece of meat. She was also well aware of the fact that she had completely ignored Jeremy in the past. After all, she had been focusing her attention solely on Joseph, and she knew it was wrong for her to do that.Wendy fully intended to make up for it, but Jeremy was rather indifferent to her efforts. In the past, his expression would darken whenever she put food on his plate or expressed her concern for him. Today, however, he didn't give her a dirty look. Instead, he was willing to eat everything she gave him. Wendy was overjoyed, and she had never stopped smiling. "Here, have some food too, Joanna," Sean said lovingly when he noticed that Joanna was ignored. In fact, he w

"What's the matter? Do you think you have nothing to fear just because you're pregnant?" Jeremy spoke as sharply as he had always been. Joanna merely looked at him wordlessly. "The babies you're carrying have better be my kids, Joanna. Otherwise, I will never let you or the man off the hook." Jeremy added coldly. With that, he stormed out of the garden. She watched as he disappeared from the glow of the streetlight. For a moment there, she was stunned. What did Jeremy mean by what he said? Why did he start thinking that Joanna might've been pregnant with his babies? What brought on the sudden change?Moreover, was that his way of saying he was okay with her giving birth to the twins?Was it possible that Jeremy would kick her out of the picture once they were born? Would he make her twins think that Nadine was their mother?No way. That wasn't happening. Joanna would make sure of it. The twins were hers, and no one could take them away from her. This gave Joanna more motiv

The people at Eterna Group just had to execute its marketing strategies well. Then, it would've been logical to ask for three or four times its current price. Hansen Group might've been the leading company in Clementson City, but it wouldn't have been easy for them to fork out six to seven billion dollars in one go."Okay." Elliot was quite excited. "I'll bring a team with me and drop by Yvestone Co. in the next two days.""Alright." Joanna nodded. "Close the deal as soon as possible. Don't drag it out.""You got it."…Jeremy was on a business trip, but Joanna didn't know about it until she was having dinner with Wendy and Sean several days later. A major overseas project of Hansen Group ran into an issue, and he had to be there to handle it personally. He probably wouldn't return to the country until it was resolved completely.That also meant that Joanna would have an easier time. Owing to the twins in her belly, she enjoyed a comfortable and worry-free life at the Hanse

Did Wendy just say she asked someone to poke a hole in Jeremy's condom?Joanna's eyes widened in shock. So, that was what happened. She was also confused about her pregnancy. After all, Jeremy used a condom whenever they slept together.It turned out Joanna had Wendy to thank for all of this. If that was the case, then why didn't the latter tell Jeremy about it?Was it because Wendy was worried that her relationship with Jeremy would turn sour the same way it did three years ago? Back then, she secretly made Nadine swallow the abortion pills, and that led him to distance himself from her. Was that why Wendy kept her latest dirty trick a secret and made Joanna out to be the scapegoat?"You should've told Jeremy about it, then. Why would you let Joanna suffer like this?" Sean asked again. "How has she suffered in any way?" Wendy was immediately displeased. "She should be thankful that she could have Jeremy's baby. Once she gives birth to the twins, her life will only become bette

Wendy might've been a tough and assertive lady, but there was nothing she could do when she was up against an unreasonable mother-in-law. So, she had to compromise for the time being. Ever since Jeremy married Joanna, the Summers didn't interact with the Hansens much. So, why were they in contact with each other again?"Shanel." Wendy approached Shanel with a smile on her face when she saw the latter getting out of the car. She was so excited that she held Shanel's hand, almost as if she was welcoming her own daughter home."Hi, Wendy," Shanel responded in a warm, gentle, and submissive tone as she also held Wendy's hand.Wendy was beyond excited. Tears actually welled up in her eyes. She was probably reminded of her late son, Joseph. "You're finally paying me a visit, Shanel.""Wendy." Shanel hugged Wendy and patted the latter's back. "I'm sorry. I'll be sure to drop by and keep you company more often.""That'd be wonderful." Wendy nodded hurriedly. "Come with me. Let's take th

When Joanna finished brewing the tea and came over, Wendy and Shanel were having a good time chatting about Jeremy. Joanna stopped in front of the coffee table and crouched to pour them cups of tea. She maintained a graceful smile and said, "Enjoy your tea, Wendy, Ms. Summer."Wendy and Shanel finally stopped chatting and glanced at Joanna. "Thank you," Shanel said. Joanna rose to her feet and nodded at Shanel with a smile. Then, she looked at Wendy and said, "It's about time, Wendy. I'm going out now."Wendy raised her gaze to look at Joanna upon hearing that. The bright smile on her face immediately disappeared and was replaced with a scowl. "I told you to cancel it.""I promised her I would be there," Joanna said firmly.Wendy looked more irritated now. "You're pregnant. What if something happens to you while you're out?""Don't worry, Wendy. I'll be careful," Joanna said, looking obedient. Then, she turned to Shanel. "Excuse me, Ms. Summer."Shanel flashed her a smile.

When Love Turns Its Back Chapter 100
After Jeremy left Sydney's office, he went to see Elliot.Sydney's film company was located in the Eterna Group's office building, so Elliot had already anticipated that Jeremy would come to him after not getting the answers he wanted from Sydney. He had been waiting in his office for Jeremy's arrival.Just as Jeremy was escorted in by the secretary, Elliot asked, "Mr. Hansen, are you here to ask where Joanna went?""No," Jeremy responded. Jeremy sat in the lounge area. He crossed his long legs and leaned back in the chair, facing Elliot directly. He looked up at Elliot and said, "I want to invest in Eterna Group."Jeremy had spent some time researching Eterna. He realized the company had no intention of being acquired.Eterna Group was also in the process of acquiring Belvoria's luxury brand, Yvestone Co.Although Yvestone Co. had fallen on hard times recently, acquiring it was no small task for a company like Eterna Group.Jeremy suspected that Eterna Group was short on cash

Her assistant, Linda Jones, flinched at Sydney's words and nervously said, "MS. Steele, isn't this a bit much?"Sydney glanced at her assistant and replied coldly, "Who's the boss here, you or me?"Linda nervously smiled and left to relay the message.If this had happened before, Jeremy would have made sure Sydney regretted refusing to see him. Yet, things were different now.Jeremy could vividly remember how Sydney's gaze at him was full of hatred after Joanna was attacked at Nadine's concert.He couldn't help but wonder if things would have turned out differently if he had been less proud and acted sooner.

Jeremy's voice trembled with anger as he shouted, "How am I divorced when I wasn't even there? How does that even count?"Then, he let out a bitter, almost deranged laugh, muttering to himself, "Of course, it doesn't count. Joanna is still my wife. We're not divorced. Until I agree to it, she's still my wife.""Jeremy, please—""Shut up!" he roared, cutting Wendy off before she could say more. His bloodshot eyes locked onto hers with a piercing glare. "Where is Joanna? Where did you hide her? You forced her to record that video, didn't you?"Wendy was slightly intimidated by his outburst but managed to remain calm. "Jeremy, what's the point of you being so devoted to Joanna? She wanted out of this marriage a long time ago. If not, how could she possibly lie so easily? The child is obviously yours, yet she claimed it's someone else's.""Where is Joanna?" Jeremy asked again through clenched teeth."I don't know." Wendy averted her gaze, refusing to meet his fiery stare. "I didn't

After making all the necessary preparations at 10:00 am the next day, Wendy had Joanna's video released across the internet. It wasn't just posted on one platform but on all of them. Additionally, a verified account named "Jeremy's Ex-Wife Joanna" published the same video. Immediately, the internet erupted, and netizens went wild.Everyone started blaming Joanna.When Jeremy saw the video, it had only been five minutes since it was posted. He stared at the pale-faced Joanna on the screen, and every word that came out of her mouth felt like a knife brutally slicing through his nerves. He had never been so furious before. Without thinking, he grabbed his phone and tried to call Joanna, but all he heard was, "The number you've dialed is not available…"Frustrated, Jeremy didn't think twice about why Joanna's phone was unreachable. He rushed to the PR department, ordering them to take the video down at any cost. If that wasn't possible, he demanded the account be shut down complet

"You—" Wendy gritted her teeth in anger. "Fine, 100 million dollars it is. That should show Jeremy what kind of person you really are."With the terms settled, Wendy wasted no time. She personally wrote a script for Joanna, dictating exactly what she needed to say. Elliot arrived at the hospital to record the video, ensuring that everything was done perfectly. Wendy stood by, overseeing the process.Once the video was recorded according to her instructions, it was clear it wouldn't be handed over just yet."Mrs. Hansen, the video will be sent to you as soon as Joanna has the divorce papers from Jeremy and the 100 million dollars," Elliot assured her.Having made a promise, Wendy was committed to following through. She nodded in agreement. "I'll come by tomorrow morning. You'll have both the money and the divorce papers by then.""Thank you, Mrs. Hansen," Elliot said with a smile. "Safe travels. I won't see you out.""Damn hypocrites," Wendy muttered under her breath as she storme

Joanna was actually ready to be discharged from Crossfield Hospital, but because Jeremy had said, "I'll come pick you up when you leave the hospital," she refused to leave. She knew how controlling he could be. Since he said it, he would definitely take her back to Clementson Bay Villa once she was out. She didn't want to have any more conflict with him.Of course, she was also waiting for Wendy.She understood Wendy. With her selfishness and domineering nature, she would undoubtedly try to use Joanna to get out of the current mess surrounding the Hansen Group and Jeremy.Although Jeremy often resented Wendy for neglecting him since childhood, he was actually just like her—selfish and domineering. Joseph, on the other hand, was more like Sean—gentler and kinder than Jeremy.On the sixth day, Wendy finally appeared in Joanna's hospital room. Joanna let out a quiet sigh of relief.By now, Wendy wasn't even pretending anymore. She came in with a straight face and sat down on the

There were also rumors that Jeremy had been financially supporting Nadine all along. Clearly, someone was behind all of this.Their suspicions were correct. However, they found nothing useful after two days of investigation. They only discovered that the mastermind behind everything was a large foreign conglomerate.This conglomerate's influence far surpassed that of the Hansen Group, and it was not something the Hansen Group could confront, nor could they afford to offend.The question remained. Why would this foreign conglomerate want to continuously expose Jeremy's dark secrets and push Hansen Group into a crisis?Wendy and Sean couldn't think of any time the Hansen family or the Hansen Group had crossed this conglomerate. If they hadn't offended them, the only possible reason was that the conglomerate had set its sights on the Hansen Group or one of its subsidiaries. They likely wanted to first suppress Hansen Group and then acquire it at a low price.This was a typical busi

Once again, Jeremy's suspicions were confirmed. He couldn't even get angry anymore. If he didn't indulge Nadine, she wouldn't have done any of this. If anyone was to blame for everything, it could only be him.He closed his eyes, leaning back in his chair with a frown. Never before had he felt so defeated and disgusted with himself.…There was also another faction of netizens who criticized Jeremy.For the past few years, Jeremy had kept a spotless reputation, with no rumors or scandals involving women, except for Nadine. His exceptional business skills, leadership abilities, handsome appearance, and noble demeanor earned him constant praise from netizens. He was the prince charming countless women dreamt of.Now, he had revealed that he had been married for three years and had been entangled with his ex-girlfriend all along.The type of man that women despised the most was a two-timer like him. His prince charming image instantly crumbled, and he became a scumbag in the eyes
