Chapter 158 - Joan, you are heartless
Joan never heard from Alex since that night. She called on two occasions and did not get an answer, so she gave up, but Violet had moved in with her, making Alex’s absence less impactful.
With the two women going to work at the same time and arriving almost at the same time, life was good, and they felt like the men weren’t needed in their lives anymore.
After all, they had enough bodyguards and servants, making it look as if the only things missing from their lives were intimacy, which they were comfortable living without.
Most of the days were fun, and others tiring when office work screamed for their attention.
They had even spent a month with Joanna’s mother and a week with Violet’s parents, making it all worthwhile. But as the days turned to weeks and weeks to months, Joanna wished Alex would not return.
Though she missed him, she feared the divorce that was staring her in the face. As she surged through company matters to her marital one, she never expected to receive a call from Mia.
"Joan, dad had an accident and needs blood," Mia’s exasperated voice sounded from the end of the line. Joanna scoffed.
Mia called her because they needed something from her. How pathetic. Unfortunately, Joanna was not a saint and was not ready to give to Caesar what did not belong to Caesar.
"What has that got to do with me?" Her father was never there in their times of need, even when her mother was sick.
If not for Alex, who knows how Joanna would have taken care of her mother’s hospital bills when her father had refused to give to her, even what rightfully belonged to her mother.
He never cared to help with the hospital bills, so why should she care about him? Some people were dead to her, and her father was one of them.
