    Joanne''s face was devoid of emotion. "What are you trying to say?"


    "Mr. Atherton''s ex-wife is Joanne, and your name is Joanna. So, you know what I mean. He pays


    attention to you only because he sees you as a recement for his ex-wife."


    Joanne sneered, "Allow me to correct you. He pays a lot of attention to me."


    "Joanna! Have you no shame? Mr. Atherton only sees you as a stand-in!"


    "I''m a stand-in, yet you''re jealous of me." Joanne wasn''t one to back down, and her tone turned


    forceful. "Doesn''t that mean that even a stand-in is better than you?"


    "You''re sharp-tongued, aren''t you? No wonder Sharon lost to you."


    Disdain filled Noah''s eyes as she dropped her pretense.


    She slowly approached Joanne and leaned in slightly. Her lips close to Joanne''s ear, she sneered, "But


    now your opponent is me. Speaking of which, I should thank you for helping me get rid of that idiot."


    Belonging ? N?velDram/a.Org.


    Over the past four years, Noah had used countless methods to drive Sharon away from Edwin.


    But Sharon was already a mess. No matter how Noah tried to frame her, it would only make the


    scandal bigger, and Edwin didn''t care at all.


    So, she couldn''t do anything although she was quite resourceful.


    She could only watch Sharon remain as Mrs. Atherton.


    Gazing at Noah''s resentful expression, tinged with smugness and madness, Joanne merely curled her


    lips with indifference.


    "Miss Sinir, it''s your prerogative to fancy a jerk, but don''t assume others share your taste. I couldn''t


    care less about a yboy like Edwin. Even if you did manage to snatch him away, you''d merely be


    picking up my cast-offs. You treasure a man I find distasteful. What is there to be proud of?"


    "You..."


    Noah was disgusted.


    Could Joanna really not desire a powerful man like Edwin? It was clearly just a boast!


    "Take it easy." Joanne blinked and kindly reminded the woman, "Instead of wasting your time on me,


    why not visit a beauty salon for some maintenance? You''re about the same age as Mr. Atherton, right?


    In your thirties, you look terrible. You didn''t keep up with your hyaluronic acid treatments, did you?"


    Noah''s face contorted with rage. She was really pissed off.


    It was true that she was in her early thirties, but she had never been in a rtionship. She spent


    millions of dors on her appearance every year just to wait for Edwin to change his mind. Now Joanne


    had suddenly brought up her age, which really got under her skin.


    Unwilling to waste her breath, Joanne headed out.


    She didn''t want to talk to this woman at all.


    Just like Sharon, Noah enjoyed causing her trouble.


    Noah red at the retreating figure, her fists clenched in fury. She ground her teeth and snarled, "This


    isn''t over. I won''t let you off the hook!"


    As Joanne emerged from the bathroom, she caught sight of a tall, imposing figure at the end of the


    corridor.


    He stood with one hand casually tucked into his trouser pocket, leaning nonchntly against the


    guardrail. His jaw hung slightly ck, revealing a profile that was both wless and tough. His


    sensuous lips were slightly pursed, exuding an irresistible allure. He was a living embodiment of raw


    desire.


    Girls strolled past him, casting awestruck and admiring nces in his direction.


    "Handsome, can I get your number?" A daring girl approached Edwin, her cheeks flushed as she spoke


    with a hint of shyness.


    Edwin lifted his chin, his gaze cool and detached as he regarded the girl.


    "Not interested."


    The girl''s face turned beet red.


    "I just wanted to get to know you, nothing more. Is that okay? " persisted the girl, who considered


    herself attractive. It was always guys osting her, and his refusal frustrated her.
