    Chapter 428 This Is Who I Deserve


    Joanna wanted to defend herself, but before she could, Isabe chimed in with augh, “You have


    such good foresight, Aunt Joanna, knowing a cheating se’m like him doesn’t deserve your


    daughter, only at mistress is a good match for him. Don’t worry, Janice won’t hold a grudge against


    them. After all. Uncle Eric has already taken sweet revenge on her behalf. Holding onto resentment


    will only make you seem petty


    She turned toward Janice after that, whose eyes were filled with mirth, and said, “Janice, heed your


    mother’s words. Next time you see Cecilia, remind her to get along with others well in the future


    and avoid offending the youngdies of the Quirk family. We, too, can throw our weight around.”


    Isabe’s voice dropped to a whisper at thest sentence, her gaze icy as she looked toward


    Joanna.


    Some people caught a glimpse of Alexander in her in that fleeting moment.


    Joanna was taken aback, unexpectedly stunned by the young girl standing before her. In the end,


    she didn’t utter a single word of defiance.


    Having processed the situation, she was so infuriated that her face turned pale..


    What was even more infuriating was that her own daughter had actually agreed.


    Joanna turned her head and gave Janice a sharp look.


    In truth, the Janice of that day felt like a different person to her. The submissive young girl who


    always tried to appease her seemed to have disappeared. Janice even seemed indifferent toward


    her at that moment yet could smile at others.


    Her smile was utterly foreign to Joanna. Joanna had no memory of Janice smiling like that.


    Joannapletely refused to introspect, instead, she considered Janice an ingrate, a good for


    nothing, and a simp who brown–nosed to the Quirks. As expected of her. I never liked her since she


    was young. Cecilia is so much more obedient, sensible, and well–behaved than her.


    Recalling her ns forter, Joanna knew she was taking a reckless gamble. Therefore, before


    that…


    Joanna tamped down her anger, feigning nonchnce to their mockery, and continued, “So be it if


    you’ve broken up. Coincidentally, the son of a friend of mine is recently visiting for business and is


    unfamiliar with the city. Can you look out for him and befriend him?”


    Not waiting for Janice’s response, she immediately waved toward the distance with a bright smile. It


    was a disy of friendliness that she had never shown to any of the Quirks before.


    Joanna’s implication was clear. She intended to introduce Janice to another potential suitor.


    But I haven’t heard Uncle Eric mention it at all. Seeing how resistant Janice is, it’s obvious that she


    doesn’t like such arrangements. After all, she has just left a failed rtionship.


    Isabe’s thoughts, on the other hand, were quite straightforward.


    How odd. She’s not the type to consider her daughter’s interests. Is she perhaps worried that


    Janice’s single status will disrupt the rtionship between her precious Cecilia and Cody? After all,


    the Simmons family’s preferred wife for their son is Janice, not Cecilia.

    Chapter 426 This is Who 1 Deserve


    +5 Pearls


    Others were even more curious, wondering about the kind of man Joanna would introduce to


    Janice.


    In the end, a chubby man was seen huffing and puffing as he hurried over. His face was stered


    with a broad smile, his features round andrge. His face was riddled with e scars, a sight that


    could easily kill one’s appetite.


    Not all prominent families had handsome men, but they did have a knack for presenting themselves


    neatly. However, the man before them wasn’t like that at all.


    Is this young man the person Joanna wanted to introduce to Janice?


    The Quirks were all wide–eyed in disbelief, and Janice’s face had turned deathly pale.


    So. in Mother’s eyes. I only deserve a man like this?


    Everyone’s upbringing had taught them not to judge a book by its cover yet in the next second, both


    Isabe and Rosalie felt an ufortable gaze.


    His gaze was not only sleazy but also lecherous, sweeping back and forth between Isabe and


    Rosalie. lingering especially on Isabe.

    “You look so familiar, the chubby man, James Cooper,ughed. “Like one of the celebrities.


    He didn’t even bother to greet the others upon arrival and just started speaking directly to Isabe.


    Isabe’s expression instantly darkened as she cast a cold gaze toward Joanna.


    Joanna, however, was looking at James with an affectionate look.


    Christopher was already fuming by that point and snapped at James, “If your gaze dares to wander


    this way again. I’ll gouge your eyes out? As he spoke, he picked up a fork from the dessert te


    and stabbed it forcefully into the cake. James shuddered in fear, quickly averting his gaze.
