OH PLEASE, MY EX-WIFE

Chapter 47: Mr. Smith, Please Behave Yourself

Amid all of this, she forgets that this woman with heavy makeup in front of her is the major’s daughter. Who would dare to chase her out?

“Julie, you go out first, I have something to discuss with Miss Hale.”

Alice hopes that her affairs are not involved, especially with Julie. After all, Joanna’s high status is not something that ordinary people can afford.

However, Julia is an exceptional worrywart.

Seeing this gorgeous woman who has connections, and unexpectedly barges into the room to bully Alice, her temper rises. “Don’t think that you can be arrogant just because you have a father and who knows if he’s your actual father or godfather!”

Joanna is so angry. This is the first time that someone dares to talk to her with this attitude.

Glaring at Julie, Joanna wants to slap her in the face, but is stopped by Alice reaching out and grabbing her hand. “This is an issue between you and me, please don’t trouble others.”

Finishing the sentence, Alice faces Julie. With a pleading look she says, “Julie, you go to work first, I can handle this by myself.”

Julie can tell that Alice does not want to deal with it herself. Although she worries that this lady will treat Alice badly, she has no choice but to leave.

“Be careful, don’t be afraid of her. If something happens, call out and I will rush in immediately.”

“Okay.” Julie’s loyalty towards their friendship makes Alice smiles bitterly, but yet her heart warms.Content is property © NôvelDrama.Org.

After Julie exits the room, Joanna’s expression turns cold instantly, frowning at Alice. In a condescending tone, she asks, “Alice, do you have anything that you would like to tell me?”

“I have nothing to say to you.”

Alice avoids Joanna’s eyes. Even though she shooed Julie away, she does not want to have a conversation with Joanna. She replies in a cold tone, while organizing the files on the table.

“You have nothing to say because of your guilty conscience!”

Joanna walks up to Alice’s desk and slams it. She snatches the file from Alice’s hand, “I have already warned you, don’t bother Edward. Why do you still want to pester him?”

“Does this mean you are not guilty? Oh, yes, you are not guilty but hypocritical. It’s a surprise that you have been able to be with Edward for the past 5 years. At this point, if I were you, I think the inferior one is you,” Alice laughs.

Alice’s attitude does not back down from Joanna’s, and for a while, Joanna doesn’t speak as she is furious.

She doesn’t expect Alice to refute her. Before, she wouldn’t even dare to speak in long sentences.

Upon noticing Alice with an icy expression, Joanna suddenly remembers and chuckles, “I think you are jealous of me, because I am Edward’s fiancée, and I am pregnant. I’m telling you, don’t bother Edward again, or the consequences will not be as nice!”

“Again, as I said, I have no relation with Edward. I don’t like him anymore, so please don’t come back and disturb my work!”

Alice does not want to be involved with Joanna any longer. Taking back the files in her hand, and putting in safely in the drawer, she glances at the clock on the wall. It is almost time to get off work.

“Who are you kidding? I just asked the doctors in the hospital when I came in. Edward comes here every day. And you say you don’t disturb him? What a snake, I wonder if in the future your kids will be like you, sticking to others like glue!”

Joanna looks at Alice with disdain.

Alice gazes at Joanna before her, pissed beyond belief. It doesn’t matter what others say about her, but her babies don’t deserve this kind of offence!

Irritated, Alice picks up the water on the table. She lifts her hand and splashes it onto Joanna’s face. In an instant, Joanna gets terribly wet and awkward.

“You have the guts to drench me!”

Joanna covers her face and screams, thinking about her elegant makeup, all ruined by this woman. She yells angrily.

“You can say anything you want, except for my children!”

Up until the topic of children, Alice’s body hardens. She will not let anyone harm her children, even mentioning is not allowed!

“You bastard!” Joanna is so furious that she raises her hand and smacks Alice’s cheek. It is so fast that Alice is unable to dodge the hit.

Alice only feels a sharp tingle on her face, before realizing that she has been hit by Joanna.

“Joanna Hale, what are you doing here!”

Just as Alice wishes to fight back, a slender figure appears at the entrance of the consultation room.

A deep and mellow voice reaches her ears. Alice takes deep breaths to control herself from giving Joanna a good smack.

She covers her aching face with her scattered hair.

“Edward, she splashed water at me!”

Seeing Edward’s arrival, Joanna instantly turns to a docile kitten, leaning against his body. Her face points at Alice with an aggrieved expression.

“Why did you come here? Who told you to come?” Edward is not blind, he watched the scene of Joanna slapping Alice. He pushes Joanna off him, questioning with a stone-cold expression.

“I… I went to the company to look for you, but you weren’t there. I asked the secretary, so I came here to find you. Edward, I miss you, can you accompany me home today? Father wants you to come over for dinner!”

Joanna is still not aware of the fact that her drenched face looks terrible and is still acting like a baby in front of Edward. She even brings up Father.

Despite that, these words do not faze Edward at all. Instead, he sees Joanna’s face darken, “You hit her?”

Edward’s voice is soft, but there is an underlying coldness as if Joanna says yes, he will explode.

This makes Joanna uncontrollably terrified. She looks at Alice, clenches her teeth. When she chased her away five years ago, she didn’t think that Alice would appear again, but it seems like he still can’t let her go.

“Answer me!”

The sudden urgent tone makes Joanna pale in fright, “I, I didn’t. If you don’t believe me, ask her.”

After speaking, Joanna stares at Alice with warning eyes. If Alice says the truth, she won’t get away!

When he turns to face Alice, Edward’s gaze deepens, revealing a hint of tender pity.

Stretching his slender hand out, wanting to expose her beautiful face from her silky hair, he is blocked by Alice. She lowers her head and replies in a distant tone, “Mr. Smith, please behave yourself. I do not have any conflict with Miss Hale. We are just discussing some issues.”
