Hold My Tear, I’m Getting My Wife Back!

Chapter 255

Joy stopped her tirade mid-rant when the person in question bolted, leaving her fuming.

Then there was that assistant, looking like he couldn’t decide if he was more human or hound, who had the audacity to bring a recorder, suggesting she finish her rant into it so they could play it back for Mr. Richardson later

By the time Joy returned, she was doubly incensed.

Because Selina had just spilled the beans about Leanne’s past struggle with severe depression during their car ride, slapping her thigh in frustration for not having joined in on bashing Curtis earlier.

“Why didn’t you tell me sooner? And I was feeling guilty about our last bar hop. But now, I see I was right all along! He doesn’t deserve Leanne!”

One involved a high school bully who ended up with a ruined lineage, only settled after the Richardson family coughed up a fortune. The other was that Derek found himself amidst shattered glass, an image

Leanne inadvertently witnessed.

“Definitely not going next time,” Joy assured with her lips, “Arguing with him is too draining. I’m starving. What’s for dinner?”
