All Chapters of When Love Turns Its Back: Chapter 51 - Chapter 60

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

Joanna chuckled. The way she saw it, Jeremy was most likely behind it. With that said, it was just a baseless guess. She couldn't be sure about it."Can you help look into it and get me a certain answer, Mr. Mackers?" she asked. "Consider it done. I'll get to it right now.""Alright. I'll be waiting for your news." Joanna hung up. She raised her gaze and looked at Elliot, only to find him gawing at her."Gosh. Who is this Mr. Mackers? Is he Thomas Mackers, the head of the largest trust company on Vyris Isles?" Elliot asked with disbelief. Joanna put down her phone and flashed him a smile. "Yeah. That's him."Elliot was shocked by her response. "You're really talking about Thomas Mackers! My God! How do you know him?"Joanna mulled it over for a second and said, "He's one of my grandma's most trusted friends.""Well, then. How are you related to the trust company he's in charge of?" Elliot asked again. Joanna looked at him and raised an eyebrow. "I am the only beneficiary to

"Don't worry. Sydney won't lose," Joanna assured. Quelling her concerns, she continued firmly, "Sydney won't just win the bet, but she'll also rise to fame and become the youngest, most popular director in the country."Elliot met her gaze and immediately understood her implication. Indeed, money always made the mare go.Loaded with money, Joanna could always spend a few billion dollars to boost Sydney's movie if it didn't do well. "Babe, you really know me best." Sydney threw herself at Joanna and exclaimed, "At this rate, I'll go out of my way to win."The three of them ate and chatted happily, and it was almost 9:00 pm when they finally parted ways. On her way back, Joanna received a call from Thomas. As expected, the other party interfering with Eterna Group's acquisition of Yvestone Co. was Jeremy. "Jo, do you need me to intervene with Eterna's acquisition of Yvestone Co.?" Thomas asked. "Thank you, Mr. Mackers, but not for now," Joanne refused. Jeremy wasn't stupid

Jeremy looked sullen. He had been away on a business trip for more than two weeks, yet Joanna had been ignoring him. She hadn't even bothered to text him. She spent her days at the Hansen residence leisurely, carrying on with her usual routine while still being involved with Elliot. She seemed completely unfazed. "Don't call her over. I have nothing to say to her," Jeremy said coldly. Joanna, of course, heard it. She smiled and said, "I'll check on the dishes in the kitchen."With that, she promptly left. Jeremy seethed at her reaction. Was she implying that he was less significant than the dishes? His conversation with Wendy and Sean was almost over anyway, so in a fit of rage, he abruptly ended the video call. It was Jeremy's first time taking the initiative to call them, and Wendy was pleased. But now, the video call had ended because of Joanna. Fuming, she shrieked, "Joanna, stop right there!"Joanna complied and turned on her heels. Wendy slammed her phone onto t

"You saw what she was like when you called us earlier. She's acting like that just because she's pregnant—""I don't care about her attitude. She's my wife and the lady of the Hansen family. If you want her to rest, then she must stay in my room in the main house. She's not someone that just anyone can bully," Jeremy interrupted before Wendy could finish. Stunned, Wendy took a few seconds to recollect herself. "J-Jeremy, what do you mean? Are you saying that I'm bullying her?""Mom, you either bring Joanna back to the main house now and let her live as she did before," Jeremy said, his tone resolute, "Or I'll have her move back to Clementson Bay Villa.""Jeremy, aren't you planning to divorce her? Why are you defending her now?"The mention of divorce riled Jeremy up. Frustrated, he frowned and snapped, "Yeah, I am going to divorce her. But as long as we're not yet divorced, she's still my wife and the lady of the Hansen family. The way you treat her reflects how you treat me."
