Chapter 142 - I never saw a man as petty as you
The sound of a slap resonated through the entire living room, stunning everyone. Joanna suddenly burst into laughter, earning a smirk from Alex.
He had to admit how cute she looked when she laughed like that.
"You deserved that one. I never saw a man as petty as you, and the only reason I never wanted to speak was because of Alex," Joanna said seriously. Aiden could not be upset with her for the sake of Alex.
Nevertheless, he was still finding it hard to recover from the slap as it wasn’t the first time Violet had done it. He was able to prevent other ones, but this one seemed impossible, and he couldn’t prevent it. Violet had moved faster than he ever imagined or expected.
"And you think she’s innocent of everything I said?" Aiden asked Joanna. "Why can’t she be like you?" He asked, not only Violet and Joanna, but Alex was getting upset and stopped him.
"Aiden, enough. If she doesn’t want your help, then don’t force it." He could not allow Aiden to compare two women when they were both unique.
Alex also felt that Violet’s actions and decisions pertaining to men might be a result of her past experiences with them and should not be judged by that, but Joanna caught something from his words.
"Need his help?" she reiterated, curiosity beaming in her eyes, but Alex could not let her know Aiden’s plans when neither of them had proof.
For one, Aiden could be spitting nonsense out of jealousy, but also, he could be insinuating something real that Alex did not want either him or Joanna to get involved with.
"Angel, why don’t we talk about something else? I already arranged for a new set of professionals to help with your looks for the handing over."
Joanna was beautiful, but when appearing in public, especially in front of the media, Alex always had something very special in mind.
