Jeremy let out a soft chuckle. "Is this an invitation for me to ravage you?"Joanna chuckled as well. "You know, the role of a loving husband who sleeps with his wife at night doesn't suit you, Mr. Hansen.""One more word out of you, and I won't hesitate to fuck you right now," Jeremy threatened, gnashing his teeth.Joanna just frowned in response. If Jeremy truly wanted to force himself on her, she wouldn't be able to resist him. He'd be able to have his way with her.She decided to clamp up for the sake of her chastity.However, Jeremy took advantage of her coerced obedience by wrapping an arm around her chest and pulling her into his arms.The moment Joanna's back made contact with Jeremy's burning chest, she couldn't help but shudder once again."Jeremy—" Joanna began exasperatedly.But Jeremy cut her off before she could finish her sentence. "Just sleep!"Joanna fell silent immediately. She was really worried that he might ravage her right then and there, so she could onl

"The paternity test result is already out. Aren't you going to take a look at it with me?" Jeremy offered.Joanna knew very well what the result would be, so she turned to look at him. Then, she agreed, "Alright."Jeremy reclined against the chair casually while gazing at her. His lips were already tugged into a smile at that time.After that, he retrieved the folder and slowly unsealed it. He finally drew out the test report from within the folder. He jumped to the end of the report. That was when his eyes darkened slightly. Still, he didn't unleash his wrath. Instead, he just stared at the result that proclaimed that "the alleged father is excluded as the biological father of the children" for half a minute. Soon, he smirked mockingly before passing the result to Joanna.After receiving the result, Joanna cast a look at it before putting it down. Then, she looked at Jeremy."Can you sign the divorce agreement now, Mr. Hansen?"Jeremy eyed Joanna up and down before letting out

At that time, Joanna could barely think. She instinctively jumped into the river and grabbed hold of Jeremy.The currents were very rapid. By then, Jeremy had already fainted due to his severe injuries.The kidnappers dared not jump into the river. They could only watch as their hostages were washed downstream.Joanna held onto Jeremy the whole time without letting go. They drifted along the currents for a long distance after that.Finally, Joanna was able to latch onto a window of opportunity by grabbing hold of a branch extending in her direction. She mustered all of her strength just to push the unconscious Jeremy to the shore.With her energy completely drained, Joanna got whisked away by the currents once again. This time, she lapsed into unconsciousness.It was already late night by the time Joanna regained consciousness. She was already lying in a hospital ward. Anthea was the one keeping her company at that time.Jeremy was also there. He was accompanied by none other th

On the other end of the call, Nadine's voice dripped with seductive sweetness. "Jeremy just stepped into the shower. If you have something to say, you can tell me, and I'll pass it on."Joanna's emotions, previously as calm as still water, rippled faintly. She smiled lightly and said, "Please tell Jeremy to sign the divorce papers as soon as possible.""Joanna, aren't you being too greedy? Are you trying to take a large chunk of Jeremy's assets? Is that why he's delaying signing the papers?" Nadine accused."No. I'm leaving with nothing. I don't want any of it." Joanna's tone was firm as she ended the call.Nadine was stunned, unable to process what she had just heard.How could Joanna still act so high and mighty? The Thompsons had gone bankrupt long ago. Her family had abandoned her and fled overseas, leaving her to fend for herself.What gave Joanna the audacity to maintain her arrogant, untouchable demeanor?And now, she wanted nothing from the divorce? Pretending to be nobl

Jeremy frowned as he took the phone, immediately unlocking it to check.Seeing him absorbed in the screen, Nadine quickly explained, "I was outside and heard your phone ringing nonstop. I was worried it might be something important, so I answered it for you."Jeremy's frown deepened when he saw that the call had been from Joanna. He glanced up at Nadine, his gaze sharp."What did Joanna say?" he asked.This time, Nadine decided not to lie. She replied truthfully, "She said you should hurry up and sign the divorce papers."Jeremy's expression darkened visibly. His deep-set eyes grew colder and sharper.Nadine had never seen him like this before and felt a little scared. Still, she mustered her courage and feigned concern. "Jeremy, is Joanna asking for a divorce because of me? If that's the case, I can explain it to her.""It has nothing to do with you." Jeremy put his phone away and started walking out, his voice low as he asked, "What do you want?"Nadine followed him out, her

It had rained heavily the night before, and it seemed like it would continue today.Although it was still early, Joanna was wide awake. She got out of bed and went to freshen up.When she went downstairs, the chef was already in the kitchen preparing breakfast.Joanna hadn't been in the kitchen for a long time, but today, she suddenly felt like cooking something she liked.The chef was startled to see her enter the kitchen.Despite all the rumors about Jeremy and Nadine spreading like wildfire outside, Joanna remained the sole lady of Clementson Bay Villa. Her kind and approachable demeanor meant that everyone in the household liked her."Mrs. Hansen, what would you like to eat? Just let me know," the chef said respectfully.Joanna smiled lightly. "I want to cook something myself today.""That's not appropriate!" The chef was visibly flustered."There's nothing wrong with it. If you're worried, you can stay and watch," Joanna reassured him.Seeing her insist, the chef had no

Jeremy stared numbly at Joanna's back while she worked, and he quickly left just before she turned around. He hadn't been resting well at the office for the past few nights. That morning, he woke up early again. It was strange, but he wanted to return home. After taking four days to calm down, he felt that he could finally have a proper conversation with Joanna. Meanwhile, Joanna had finished making breakfast in the kitchen. She was about to sit down in the dining room when she noticed Jeremy, who was sitting on the couch in the living room. He seemed really tired—he was leaning against the couch, and his arms were pressed against his forehead, covering his eyes.Jeremy appeared to be sleeping; there was a pathetic air surrounding him that Joanna had never sensed from him before. She hesitated and thought, "When did he come home?"Just then, the chef and Polly brought out the other dishes and placed them carefully on the table before placing two sets of cutlery down. Joan

Joanna stared at Jeremy calmly. Once the latter had calmed down, she asked, "Do I have another choice?""No," he replied firmly. "Even if you gave birth to the babies, I won't let you keep them.""What do you mean by that?" Joanna laughed. Jeremy declared, "I will never raise another man's children.""So, you won't want to get a divorce, right?" Jeremy's expression turned gloomy. He said sternly, "Don't go too far, Joanna. Otherwise, my patience for you will run out eventually."With that, he stood up and strode away. …Joanna didn't want to fight with Jeremy any longer. However, she had to draw clear boundaries between the Hansen family, Jeremy, and herself. Otherwise, she would still be Jeremy's wife, and her children would be his as well, according to the law. After thinking about it for an entire day, Joanna couldn't figure out how to get a divorce from Jeremy immediately. Nadine's concert was at 7:30 pm. Joanna and Sydney had planned to go there together, so Sydne

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

Chapter 80

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
