"The paternity test result is already out. Aren't you going to take a look at it with me?" Jeremy offered.Joanna knew very well what the result would be, so she turned to look at him. Then, she agreed, "Alright."Jeremy reclined against the chair casually while gazing at her. His lips were already tugged into a smile at that time.After that, he retrieved the folder and slowly unsealed it. He finally drew out the test report from within the folder. He jumped to the end of the report. That was when his eyes darkened slightly. Still, he didn't unleash his wrath. Instead, he just stared at the result that proclaimed that "the alleged father is excluded as the biological father of the children" for half a minute. Soon, he smirked mockingly before passing the result to Joanna.After receiving the result, Joanna cast a look at it before putting it down. Then, she looked at Jeremy."Can you sign the divorce agreement now, Mr. Hansen?"Jeremy eyed Joanna up and down before letting out

On the other end of the call, Nadine's voice dripped with seductive sweetness. "Jeremy just stepped into the shower. If you have something to say, you can tell me, and I'll pass it on."Joanna's emotions, previously as calm as still water, rippled faintly. She smiled lightly and said, "Please tell Jeremy to sign the divorce papers as soon as possible.""Joanna, aren't you being too greedy? Are you trying to take a large chunk of Jeremy's assets? Is that why he's delaying signing the papers?" Nadine accused."No. I'm leaving with nothing. I don't want any of it." Joanna's tone was firm as she ended the call.Nadine was stunned, unable to process what she had just heard.How could Joanna still act so high and mighty? The Thompsons had gone bankrupt long ago. Her family had abandoned her and fled overseas, leaving her to fend for herself.What gave Joanna the audacity to maintain her arrogant, untouchable demeanor?And now, she wanted nothing from the divorce? Pretending to be nobl

It had rained heavily the night before, and it seemed like it would continue today.Although it was still early, Joanna was wide awake. She got out of bed and went to freshen up.When she went downstairs, the chef was already in the kitchen preparing breakfast.Joanna hadn't been in the kitchen for a long time, but today, she suddenly felt like cooking something she liked.The chef was startled to see her enter the kitchen.Despite all the rumors about Jeremy and Nadine spreading like wildfire outside, Joanna remained the sole lady of Clementson Bay Villa. Her kind and approachable demeanor meant that everyone in the household liked her."Mrs. Hansen, what would you like to eat? Just let me know," the chef said respectfully.Joanna smiled lightly. "I want to cook something myself today.""That's not appropriate!" The chef was visibly flustered."There's nothing wrong with it. If you're worried, you can stay and watch," Joanna reassured him.Seeing her insist, the chef had no

Joanna stared at Jeremy calmly. Once the latter had calmed down, she asked, "Do I have another choice?""No," he replied firmly. "Even if you gave birth to the babies, I won't let you keep them.""What do you mean by that?" Joanna laughed. Jeremy declared, "I will never raise another man's children.""So, you won't want to get a divorce, right?" Jeremy's expression turned gloomy. He said sternly, "Don't go too far, Joanna. Otherwise, my patience for you will run out eventually."With that, he stood up and strode away. …Joanna didn't want to fight with Jeremy any longer. However, she had to draw clear boundaries between the Hansen family, Jeremy, and herself. Otherwise, she would still be Jeremy's wife, and her children would be his as well, according to the law. After thinking about it for an entire day, Joanna couldn't figure out how to get a divorce from Jeremy immediately. Nadine's concert was at 7:30 pm. Joanna and Sydney had planned to go there together, so Sydne

Since they took some time to dress up, by the time Joanna and Sydney arrived at the concert hall, the lobby was empty, and the event was about to start. The host was onstage introducing Nadine and praised her skills endlessly. Sydney dragged Joanna to their seats quietly. Though they were in the VIP section, both of them were seated in the last row. After sitting down, Joanna looked up and saw a familiar back seated five rows in front of her. Sydney followed the direction of her gaze and prepared to speak when she saw Jeremy but was stopped. "Shh, the concert is starting," Joanna whispered. That day was very important to Nadine, so Jeremy, who had always protected her all this while, couldn't miss her event. "Wow, I heard that the flowers here were flown in from overseas. It's no wonder they look so pretty and fresh." Just then, a voice was heard from behind Joanna. "Those flowers were sent by the CEO of Hansen Group, Jeremy. Of course, it wouldn't be cheap," another pe
