Chapter 130 - Alex is my first love
Joanna had just finished in the restroom and was about to leave when a familiar face entered. It was Melanie.
"You must be Mrs. King," Melanie said with a smile, though her eyes betrayed a hint of disdain. Joanna never cared for women like her and couldn’t recall ever having a confrontation with one.
Her issues were always with men or her half-sister, as far back as she could remember.
"Well, you’ve stated the obvious, so I’ll excuse you to join the banquet," Joanna replied, trying to bypass Melanie. But Melanie couldn’t resist making a sarcastic comment.
"I thought there would be a more deserving woman to carry on the legacy of the Kings, not a lowlife climbing on their coattails."
Joanna stopped in her tracks, stung by Melanie’s callous words. They were not the words of a dignified woman, and even though Joanna had resolved not to let anyone’s words affect her, these ones did.
"It seems to me that you’re one of those desperate women. I won’t waste my breath on you," Joanna retorted, turning to leave. But Melanie wasn’t finished, as she hadn’t succeeded in getting Joanna upset.
"Alex is my first love and will always be mine," Melanie declared, expecting Joanna to react with anger. Instead, Joanna burst out laughing.
It’s nice to meet another one of Alex’s exes. You may have been his first, but I’m his last. The road to his heart is closed," she said confidently.
