    In the past, before her face was fully healed, the doctor had advised her against eating spicy food.


    But during her time in Mourpa, her taste had gradually adapted to lighter vors.


    So, when she suddenly had a spicy meal, her stomach struggled to adjust at first but then got used to


    it, perhaps because of her sadness.


    Jack initially didn''t pick up on Joanne''s unease as she stuffed her mouth with food. But when he


    noticed something amiss, he raised his eyebrows and asked, "Is something bothering you?"


    Joanne stered on a smile and deflected his question." No. I''m happy to be back in Sapphire City.


    Come on, let''s toast it."


    Jack''s heart lurched.


    He had heard from Patrick that Joanne had once been betrayed and that her scars were also left by


    that man.


    "Do you know Edwin before?"


    Joanne hesitated mid-sip, asking, "Why bring him up?"


    "I''m worried he''ll bother you again! How about I find you another ce? Bigger and more luxurious


    than this one."


    "I''ll join the crew next week. If you have so much money, donate it to charity. There are plenty of


    underprivileged children in Sapphire City who need help."


    "If you agree to be my girlfriend, I''ll do whatever you say."


    "There youe again! Are you trying to get yourself kicked out?"


    Rat-tat.


    After three rounds of drinks, the meal was about to end when the door was knocked again.


    Jack opened the door and found the janitor standing outside.


    The janitor smiled at him and said, "Sir, your car is parked in the wrong ce and obstructing traffic.


    Please move it, or we''ll have to call a tow truck."


    Joanne took the chance to send Jack away.


    It was gettingte, and he should go home.


    Jack cursed the meddling janitor under his breath. He had nned to wait for Joanne to get drunk and


    lose control.


    "Whatever, tow it!" Jack said indifferently.


    The janitor looked Jack up and down, astonished. It was the first time he''d heard someone take a


    luxury car so lightly.


    Sure enough, the residents of East Imperial were all rich.

    Joanne ushered Jack out of the room.


    "You''ll need to pay for the tow truck. Hurry back to the hospital. I need to clean up and get some rest."


    "Jo," Jack pleaded, winking at Joanne vigorously, "Aren''t you scared of living in such a big ce alone?


    I can keep youpany."


    Joanne was a timid person, to begin with, and Jack''s words sent a shiver down her spine. She bristled


    and drove him away.


    Jack med the janitor for Joanne''s refusal.


    It was not until he got out of the elevator that he realized something.


    "Wait, how is my car blocking traffic? Are you kidding me?"


    The janitor replied respectfully, "I wouldn''t dare, sir. Ourmunity is undergoing renovations, and


    parking on the roadside is prohibited. You can see for yourself if you don''t believe me."
