He offered to invite her roommate to dinner, and the restaurant was so high-end, which felt like he was giving her face.

“Baby, we’re really basking in your glory.” Aria Rowlett remarked in admiration, “Otherwise, I could never afford to visit a place like this in my lifetime.

I was initially worried about you finding a new boyfriend so quickly, thinking it might be too impulsive.

But now, I feel more reassured.”

Joanna Lawrence asked, “…How are you reassured?”

Aria glanced at her, “My heartthrob is handsome, rich, and values you a lot.

This proves he genuinely likes you.

Stay with him.

As for that scum David Benington, he’s nothing good.

You’d better forget him soon.”

Aria was still a bit angry when she mentioned this.

Just yesterday, when she sought help from David, she thought he still had a conscience.

But now…

Pah!

She wanted to take back her previous thoughts.

David was undeniably a scum!

If her heartthrob hadn’t shown up in time yesterday, she didn’t dare to imagine the consequences.

Thinking of this, she angrily took out her mobile phone, found David’s number, and sent him a text: Scum, you don’t deserve Joanna.

Our Joanna now has a perfect protector who is ten, hundred, thousand times better than you.

Soon, she will forget about you completely.

You can keep being a disgraceful loser.

There will be a day when you regret it!

After sending the text, she blocked David’s number.

Inside a private room at the banquet hall.

David was having dinner with a client.

Upon receiving the message, he opened his phone to read it, and his facial expression changed instantly.

Opposite him.

The CEO of a company discussing a contract with him noticed David suddenly becoming serious.

His face changed too, thinking that David was not satisfied with the proposal made just now.

“Mr.

David, are you dissatisfied with the terms I proposed just now?

Are you unhappy?” The business partner’s face showed some displeasure.

He had already made numerous concessions.

If he gave more, what would he gain?

If the new CEO of the Benington Group was still not satisfied, they might as well not talk about this deal.

David looked up and met the slightly displeased face of the business partner.

He was taken aback for a moment but quickly smiled and said, “Mr.

Southey, you misunderstand.

I have no objections to the terms you just proposed.”

Only then did Mr.

Southey’s face ease a bit.

He lifted his wine glass with a smiling face and said, “Since Mr.

David has no objections, shall we confirm this?”

David momentarily put aside his displeasure, smiled, and also raised his wine glass: “Okay, Mr.

Southey, this toast is to celebrate our pleasant cooperation.”

In the private room opposite David.

The waiter brings the menu and respectfully hands it to Joanna Lawrence, saying, “Ms.

Joanna, please order.”

Joanna Lawrence turned to Aria Rowlett and Gretchen Skerit, “You guys go ahead and order, I’ll take a look later.”

Since she was treating them, she, of course, let them order first.

Aria didn’t stand on ceremony.

She took the menu and smiled, “Alright, we’ll order first.

Let me see what’s good here…”

The last few words trailed off as she opened the menu, saw the prices inside, and abruptly stopped.

“Damn!” Aria looked shocked.

She widened her eyes and quickly snapped the menu shut.

Then she poked Joanna Lawrence’s arm and whispered with a lowered voice, “Joanna, the dishes here are so expensive.

They’re like sky-high prices.

I don’t even dare to order.”
