Chapter 10

  Joanna said she was about to put the cat down, but the hair ball tightly grasped her clothes without loosening its claws. As soon as Jillian picked up a piece of onion and placed it in front of the hair ball, the little greedy cat immediately leaned over and sniffed it. Then, as if not liking what it smelled, it swished pass and ran away. It could be heard sneezing from far away.

  Jillian couldn\'t help laughing, \"You really picked up a living treasure.\"

  Joanna also showed some smiles in her eyes. She took out a tissue and wiped her fingers, and said, “The collar on this cat’s neck is from Hermès. Someone must have lost it. I will post it online in a moment. Someone might came to claim it.\"

  \"If you picked it up, you post it. My official social media account is for work only. If I\'m going to post it, the director can cut me off.\"

  Joanna’s phone was turned off by Jillian since last night. As soon as Joanna turned it on, many missed calls popped up inside. Except for her assistant Anna, her father made the most calls. Richie only had one call, which was just about ten o\'clock this morning.

  She lowered her eyelashes and took a photo of Tammy, posted it on her account and included her contact info. Afterwards she then sent a text message to her assistant, Anna.

  \"And we’re done, is it okay to leave this cat here?\"

  \"Joanna, to be honest, I am quite reluctant to separate with this little pudgy ball. How about you delete the post and raise it for me.\"

  Joanna glanced at her disapprovingly, \"The owner of that person should be more anxious.\"

  \"Well, just tell me the news if you got any, I will feed it first.\"

  Jillian poked Tammy\'s big face and looked up, \"What are you going to do about Richie?\"

  \"What can I do?\" Joanna lowered his eyes, \"At least, I\'m still his wife. No one can shake that.\"

  ——

  Joanna didn\'t tell anything to Henry about yesterday’s events. She only said that she was sleeping with Jillian when she drank too much during the class reunion yesterday.

  Henry didn\'t ask too much or that he was not in the mood to ask more, the pressure from the major shareholders alone made him unable to cope.

  \"By the way, Richie just called in and gave 10 million yuan, you should remember to thank him when you go back.\"

  Joanna was taken aback, and her heart suddenly lifting.

  Henry continued, \"After all, you two have been living for so many years. He should still have you in his heart. I am still holding on to hope for Mo\'s current situation. The both of you will work hard. If something happens to the company, I don\'t have to worry about it too much.\"

  Joanna nodded casually and left his office.

  All afternoon, she couldn\'t focus. What does Richie\'s call of 10 million mean, did you really care about her? Joanna\'s heart was half fluttering and half bitter, and finally she couldn\'t help calling him.

  It was a long time before the line connected. Joanna was excited, and just when she was about to speak, she heard a woman\'s high-pitched moan-groan from the other end, mixed with a man\'s heavy breathing. Even if she had never experienced it, she could guess what kind of drama is going on the other side.

  The blood on Joanna\'s face faded away, her mind was blank, and she didn\'t even have the strength to hang up.

  Richie\'s low and hoarse voice didn\'t come up until the moans had stopped.

  \"What is it?\"

  Joanna held back her tears and trembled as she said, \"Do you have to humiliate me like this?\"

  Richie sneered, \"You know and you still have to ask? Haven’t you insulted yourself already?\"

  \"Since you hate me so much, why do you want to invest 10 million in to the Mo company!\"

  Richie heard her question and laughed in a low voice with a mocking voice, \"My dad really likes the one hundred flowers greeting card you sent yesterday. Knowing that your dad did something good, he asked me to put some capital in my own name. It’s weird, where are you even asking, did you think I did that for you—\"

  Joanna didn’t listen to the words after that. Every time she thought she was strong enough, Richie would easily break her line of defense with just a few words, trampling her self-esteem under his feet. And in front of him, she would always be It\'s a joke!

  \"Ding—\" The phone rang again, Joanna wiped away her tears, took a deep breath and answered the call.

  \"Miss Mo, Mr. Li agreed to meet with you to discuss compensation.\"

  Joanna\'s social media has not been verified, she has not many fans. Her status was not updated frequently, so the account had fall into obscurity.

  It was Tammy. After staying with Jillian for a day, it was sent back early the next morning.

  \"You should raise this cat by yourself. My cat can sleep 15 hours a day. Its little ancestor is good. Just like a kid with ADHD, it doesn’t matter if he scratches the sofa, at night, it ran to the balcony to learn howling. The security guard thought that I was illegally detaining wild animals here, so he almost called the police and arrested me.\"

  Joanna was stunned and looked down at the innocent hair ball. It was hard to imagine that it was the instigator that Jillian had accused.
