When Love Turns Its Back Chapter 79
When Sydney was abroad, she had specially learned makeup from several beauty influencers. So, her makeup skills were simply phenomenal—she could practically transform an 80-year-old lady into an 18-year-old teenager with her makeup looks.Besides, Joanna was only 24 years old and was a conventionally beautiful lady. Apart from that, she also learned medicine and often researched skincare products. As such, she took care of her skin better than other people her age. Joanna's skin was excellent. Her skin was like a peeled egg; it was bouncy and soft.Sydney had never seen anyone who had skin as good as Joanna's before. She easily completed Joanna's makeup in 10 minutes—it was natural nude makeup. In the mirror, Joanna looked rather youthful and innocent. "Well, my makeup skills are great, right?" Sydney asked, satisfied. Joanna laughed. "You're right. I think it was a pity that you became a director instead.""Tsk! This isn't my only talent, and I'm the least skilled in direct

Since they took some time to dress up, by the time Joanna and Sydney arrived at the concert hall, the lobby was empty, and the event was about to start. The host was onstage introducing Nadine and praised her skills endlessly. Sydney dragged Joanna to their seats quietly. Though they were in the VIP section, both of them were seated in the last row. After sitting down, Joanna looked up and saw a familiar back seated five rows in front of her. Sydney followed the direction of her gaze and prepared to speak when she saw Jeremy but was stopped. "Shh, the concert is starting," Joanna whispered. That day was very important to Nadine, so Jeremy, who had always protected her all this while, couldn't miss her event. "Wow, I heard that the flowers here were flown in from overseas. It's no wonder they look so pretty and fresh." Just then, a voice was heard from behind Joanna. "Those flowers were sent by the CEO of Hansen Group, Jeremy. Of course, it wouldn't be cheap," another pe

Joanna looked at Sydney and remained silent. "How much did you pay for these tickets, Jo?" Sydney asked. "I paid a thousand dollars for a VIP ticket," Joanna answered."Fuck!" Sydney cursed. "Why won't she rob a bank instead?"Joanna smiled and replied gently, "It's against the law to commit robbery."Sydney rolled her eyes. "How could you laugh at this point? I already want to leave.""Wait. Listen to the entire concert first; there are two pieces left," Joanna assured her. Since she wanted to hear the pieces, Sydney stayed as well. However, for the subsequent few minutes, she wasn't focused on Nadine's performance. Instead, she kept looking for Jeremy. As they were five rows away from him, who was seated in the center, Sydney didn't manage to find him at all. "Jo, I'm going to the washroom," she said. "Okay." Joanna nodded. After watching Sydney leave, she continued listening to the performance. Though Sydney was really headed for the washroom, her main purpose wasn

Yet, the host misinterpreted the look on Jeremy's face, so he called out to him. "Mr. Hansen, it's an important occasion. Why don't you come onstage and say something to Nadine?"The audience started egging him on. On the other hand, Nadine stared shyly at Jeremy as she waited for him. She was a cellist that Jeremy spent a huge amount of money on to boost her popularity. If he didn't come onstage at that moment, it would humiliate Nadine and himself. Other people might even start gossiping about them. So, Jeremy had to stand up and go onstage amidst the crowd's cheers. Just before he turned to face the audience, Nadine swiftly walked over and grabbed his arm. Then, she tiptoed and gave him a peck on the cheek. All at once, a commotion erupted; applause and screams filled the air. Nadine's fans yelled, "Get together! Get together!"Joanna remained motionless in her seat. She looked completely emotionless. However, Sydney, who was seated next to her, was furious. She kept sco

"Follow me," Jeremy said stubbornly, dragging Joanna with him. "Jeremy!" Just then, Nadine, who followed after him, saw how intimately he was holding Joanna's hand as he prepared to leave. So, she panicked and called out for him. "Ah! Nadine! It's Nadine, she's here!"Meanwhile, someone recognized Nadine's voice, and her fans started screaming. "Ah! Our idol is here!" The fans screamed and ran toward Joanna and the others in a big group. Since Joanna realized that they were in a difficult position, she struggled to break free from Jeremy's grasp and said in annoyance, "Quick, let go of me!"But when Jeremy saw the huge crowd, he didn't want to let go. He pulled her and prepared to leave. "Jeremy!" Suddenly, Nadine fell into Jeremy's arms and hugged him. She asked pathetically, "Where are you going after abandoning me?""Fuck. Nadine, can you behave less shamelessly in front of your fans?" Sydney asked. She couldn't bear to look at Nadine. Nadine looked back at the hug

"Yes, sir." The bodyguard rushed into the crowd. Afterward, a group of bodyguards dashed over and followed Jeremy's orders to enter the group of crazed fans. They tried their best to chase away Nadine's fans and protected Joanna and Sydney in the center. When Jeremy saw Joanna, who was curled into a ball, he tried to rush over but was stopped by Nadine again. "Jeremy, my leg hurts…" She stared at Jeremy with tears in her eyes, then collapsed into his arms. Meanwhile, Nadine and Sydney were helped up by the bodyguards. "How are you feeling, Mrs. Hansen?" A bodyguard supported Joanna. However, she flung his hand away. Her hair was disheveled, and she looked pathetic; there were a few bleeding scratches on her face. Sydney was in a similar situation as her. After Nadine's crazed fans saw the bodyguards protecting them, they stopped moving. All of them were cowards. They didn't want to take responsibility for their actions. Though Jeremy wanted to approach the two women

Jeremy's gaze turned hard as he stared furiously at Joanna. Evelyn, Nadine, and the group of fans watched in anticipation as he walked toward Nadine. Then, he bent down and picked her up. Holding her tightly, he left quickly. Joanna closed her eyes and used the last of her strength to stand up with Sydney's help. She said, "Let's go, Sydney.""Okay," Sydney replied, her voice trembling. She cried while holding onto Joanna as they left the venue. …After Jeremy sent Nadine to the hospital, the doctor gave her a thorough inspection. Of course, she didn't have a fracture, and nothing was wrong with her. But since she kept saying that it hurt, the doctor prescribed medicine for her and told her to stay in the hospital for one night. Once the doctor announced that nothing was wrong with Nadine, Jeremy's expression turned extremely gloomy. He looked as if he was about to fly into a rage. He quickly turned to leave. However, Nadine didn't notice the look on his face and grabbed

"Yes, Mr. Hansen. I've double-checked. When Mrs. Hansen arrived at the hospital, she had already fainted, and the babies weren't able to survive," Kenneth declared. Jeremy frowned deeply and looked even more upset. It was as if he had lost all his strength—he fell back in his chair, closed his eyes, and rubbed his throbbing temples. He asked, "Which hospital is Joanna at?""Mrs. Hansen is at Crossfield Hospital," Kenneth replied. "Go there now," Jeremy ordered. Yet, he suddenly realized something. What good would it do even if he came?He knew what Joanna was like; seeing him the moment she woke up would make her furious. After all, he kept forcing her to get an abortion. Since the babies were gone, Joanna would be extremely resentful of him. Besides, he was involved in the accident. Her twins, a boy and a girl, were gone like that. At that moment, Jeremy felt that it was a pity. He even felt bad for her. "Forget it." Before Kenneth could react, Jeremy changed his m

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.

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

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.
