Chapter 462


    Johanna looked into L’s eyes meaningfully.


    “I could see that J was quite nice to you. Did you happen to misunderstand her?”


    L felt wronged right then. “I have no idea what happened. My best friends and I went shopping


    together with her. We treated her very considerately. I don’t know why that happened.”


    Johanna knew L very well. Though she was a little spoiled, with regard to morals, Johanna thought


    she and Beal had taught her a great deal.


    “Well, it’s gettingte, why not go upstairs and have a rest first? I’ll deal with this matter.” Johanna


    didn’t bother asking any more questions. She decided she would talk to J first.


    The next morning, when J woke up, the servants were preparing breakfast in the kitchen. In


    Seacisco, she had the habit of getting up early in the morning.


    Johanna returned to the house from a morning run outside. Sweat was pouring off her body. The habit


    of morning exercise gave her a perfect figure even though she was nearly fifty years old.


    “Good morning, Mrs. White.” When J saw Johanna walk in, she nodded at her.


    Even though Johanna and Beal were her biological parents, J still felt a little awkward around them


    and could not make herself call them Mom and Dad for now.


    “Mom” and “Dad” were both unfamiliar and awkward phrases to her still. When she lived with the Lind


    family, she seldom called Bernie and Fiona Dad and Mom.


    Wiping the sweat off her forehead, Johanna was startled. “I’m not your boss, why are you still calling


    me “Mrs. White”?”


    She then nced over at the empty table, covered her stomach with her hands, and winked at J.


    “Breakfast has yet to be served. Why don’t we go to the kitchen to check? You haven’t had the chance


    to try my cooking, right? Just to let you know, I cook delicious eggs and bacon.”


    J nodded with a smile on her face, feeling a warmth flood through her heart. Like a little child, she


    followed Johanna into the kitchen.


    J watched as Johann cracked the eggs into the sizzling pan. Soon, the kitchen was filled with the


    aroma of fried eggs.


    Johanna then put the bacon in as she asked rather casually, “Why did you stay in instead of going out


    with L to have some fun? You’re not friends with anyone in Barnes. It’s good for you to go out and


    forge new friendships.”


    The aroma of the bacon had a way of intoxicating J. But hearing Johanna’s question, J knew


    that she couldn’t tell Johanna directly that she didn’t like L’s friends. She simply smiled and replied,


    “I’ve been searching for jobs on the recruitment website recently. I’ve grown used to working, so I want


    to continue focusing on my career. Also, I feel a little flustered when I’m out with L the whole day.”


    In fact, J was telling Johanna the truth. She wasn’t in the mood to hang out with L every day.


    She began working after graduation and had grown ustomed to it. If she suddenly stopped working,


    she would feel useless and abandoned by the world.


    Johanna turned off the stove and looked at J for a very long time.


    This daughter of hers was just like her.


    Johanna was relieved to hear what J said just now.


    Johanna herself was a powerful woman, but L was spoiled as a princess and couldn’t bear to live a


    hard life. L happened to be average in ability and was not all that ambitious. They had long stopped


    expecting L to achieve anything in regard to a career. Anyway, there was no need for L to inherit


    the family business. They just wish her happy and healthy.


    Knowing now that J was so ambitious, Johanna was really happy to learn that.


    “I know that you majored in fashion design and was working as a fashion designer in Seacisco before.


    I’ve seen your work and found that you are indeed a very talented designer. If you need money or any


    connections, you can tell me at any time. Our family also has dealings in the fashion industry.” Johanna


    clutched J’s hand tightly and patted it twice. “You’re really like me when I was younger.”


    “Thank you. If I need anything, I’ll tell you.”


    After that, J turned her attention back to the eggs and bacon in the pan. It just smelled so good.


    J didn’t think too much about her conversation with Johanna.


    However, Johanna obviously did.

    She made up her mind to let her daughter establish a business in the fashion circle of Barnes, so that


    was what she was working on.


    Two dayster, Johanna received the news that a high-end party was going to be held in the fashion


    circle soon. She received the invitation and went to the party with J and L, hoping with all her


    heart that J could make a smashing debut within the fashion design circle of Barnes.
