All Chapters of When Love Turns Its Back: Chapter 11 - Chapter 20

Joanna chuckled. "Oh? So you still think you have the right to talk about pushing one's luck?""Joanna!" Nadine growled through gritted teeth, her expression darkening uncontrollably. Thankfully, her back was to the camera, so her face wouldn't be captured."Do you really think you'll stay Mrs. Hansen for much longer?" She sneered.Joanna raised an eyebrow. "You seem very invested in my affairs."With a cold laugh, Nadine's eyes dropped to Joanna's belly. "Don't think that just because you're pregnant, the title of being Jeremy's wife will always belong to you."Don't forget, Jeremy only married you because Mrs. Hansen Senior was gravely ill and pressured him into it. Jeremy never loved you. The only person he loves is me.""Is that so?" Joanna replied with an indifferent tone, showing no interest in arguing with Nadine. It seemed pointless, especially over a man who didn't care about her."Jeremy doesn't care about the child you're carrying," Nadine continued, her smile turning

Earlier that day, Nadine had gone to the hospital to finalize plans for the surgery. Unexpectedly, she ran into Joanna.Originally, Nadine had thought of using Joanna to stir up some trouble, hoping she would take the bait and pick a fight. Yet, Joanna had turned the tables, delivering some biting remarks that left Nadine fuming but unable to retaliate. However, what puzzled her most was how Joanna knew the baby she had been carrying wasn't Jeremy's. Even so, she wasn't too concerned.She was sure that even if Joanna had told Jeremy, he wouldn't have believed her—if he had trusted Joanna, she would have spoken up long before now.Jeremy frowned and asked calmly, "A uterus transplant? Are you sure about this?"Nadine nodded eagerly, but her previously cheerful expression quickly dimmed with sadness. She lowered her head, and her voice broke as she whispered, "Jeremy, you know losing our baby has been my biggest regret and sorrow in life."Jeremy's frown deepened. After a few sec

The manager wasn't a fool—he would rather offend Sydney than Jeremy. So, he immediately smiled and asked Sydney to leave.Sydney glanced at the manager and sneered. "No need to escort me. Sharing a restaurant with lowlifes like you and Nadine makes me lose my appetite anyway."With that, she returned to her table, grabbed her designer bag, slung it over her shoulder, and left with her friends.…Meanwhile, Joanna was also having her dinner at Maplewood Residences. Unlike most women who suffered from severe morning sickness during their first trimester, Joanna was almost six weeks pregnant. She had experienced very little besides some nausea while brushing her teeth in the morning.However, her appetite wasn't great that evening, and she had only managed a few bites. The housekeeper, Janet, noticed this and asked, "Ms. Thompson, is the food not to your liking?" Joanna smiled and shook her head. "No, the food is wonderful." Just then, her phone buzzed twice with incoming messages

Joanna laughed and shook her head. "What's the point of dragging it out? Why not just divorce him and move on to someone better?""Now you're talking!" Sydney slapped the table again, her eyes sparkling as she looked at Joanna. "Joanna, you've finally wisened up!"She added enthusiastically, "With your looks and personality, any man would be lucky to have you. Only a blind fool like Jeremy couldn't see that."When Joanna didn't respond, Sydney asked, "But if you divorce Jeremy now, will the Hansen family accept your baby?"Joanna nodded. "They will. Wendy even wanted me to move back to the Hansen residence during my pregnancy, but I declined. As for Nadine, Wendy will never accept her."Sydney's brow furrowed as she processed this information."A penny for your thoughts?" Joanna asked, knowing her friend might appear carefree but was actually quite shrewd and fiercely protective.Sydney replied, "If Nadine is getting a uterus transplant to have Jeremy's baby, what if she tries s

Joanna could tell how tight-lipped the helpers, driver, and bodyguards who worked at the Clementson Bay Villa were since Wendy had only found out now that she had moved out."Wendy, I'm staying at a friend's place, and I don't find anything lacking so far," Joanna calmly responded.The Maplewood Residences' apartments, whether it was Elliot's unit or Joanna's, were both placed under Eterna Group's name.To the public, Elliot was known as the owner of Eterna Group. Therefore, logically speaking, Joanna was currently staying in one of Elliot's properties."You're staying at a friend's place?" Wendy was both annoyed and flabbergasted. "You're Jeremy's wife, and you're heavy with children! It's absurd for you to be staying at your friend's place. People are going to laugh at us if they find out about this!"She had bought Joanna's explanation. Even though the Thompson family was once wealthy, they were facing bankruptcy by the time Joanna married Jeremy.Not only were the Thompsons
