You Are The Pursuit of My Life

Chapter 229

However, there was more agony to come. Wasn't she Jordan's fiancee now? She used to regularly go over to suck up to Lydia. However, now whenever she went over, the Reed family's servants would always use some reason to send her away. Joanne was not stupid. She knew that Lydia did not want to see her. She must know the reason why Britney had abandoned her. Joanne felt like she was in danger, Lydia did not like her and Jordan did not love her. How was she supposed to marry into the Reed family now? Joanne had no idea that Nathan had already spilled all her dirty secrets to Jordan. She used to be a good obedient girl in his mind and Nathan really had adored her. Even after he found out she had plotted against Irene, he did not tell Jordan about it.

However, this time, Nathan had enough of Joanne and her schemes. He used to think that Joanne deserved a second chance to turn over a new leaf, so he did not want to expose her. However, when she had plotted even against Nathan himself, he realized how truly vicious she actually was.

Nathan realized that he could not keep the matter a secret anymore. Joanne was a wolf in sheep's clothing. There was no point in being kind to a person like that. She would betray anyone the second it benefitted her. Nathan did not want to let his good friend Jordan to befall the same fate too. So, he decided that he had to tell Jordan according to his conscience.

Jordan had already guessed that Joanne was the one who had tricked Nathan into sleeping with another woman. So when Nathan told him, Jordan was not surprised in the slightest. However, when he heard that Joanne had planned to take Irene's life, Jordan was furious. That wicked girl. She and Marie really were two women as poisonous as scorpions.

Jordan was a trustworthy person. Since he had already promised to marry Joanne in three years, he had no plans of going back on his word.

However, now that he knew that Joanne was so heartless, Jordan could not stand it anymore. Why would he bother keeping his word to a snake?

No, he had to cancel the marriage between them! Jordan knew that Joanne often went to suck up to his mother. He was afraid that Joanne would do something to her, so he quickly told his mother everything so that she could be more careful.

Lydia was in complete disbelief when she heard that Joanne had attempted to hurt Irene and Nathan. Joanne was a gentle, caring woman, how could she do such malicious things? Jordan spent hours explaining everything to her and persuading her. He brought up Marie sa reminder. Finally, Lydia agreed to be more wary.

Indeed, Marie was a beauty, and she was seemingly gentle. Yet behind their backs, everything she had ever done was evil. If the Reed family really brought in an evil woman like that, how would there be peace in their home?

She listened to her son and decided to raise her guard around Joanne. She told all the maids to not let Joanne in if she came over. After a few rejections, Joanne took the hint. Since Lydia was no longer an option for her to find a way in, Joanne had no choice but to wait patiently.

She knew that Jordan was a man who kept his word. Since he had agreed to marry her in three years, as long as she did not break it off first, he would definitely keep his promise. If she just waited for three years, he would marry her and grant her wish. After that, only would she think about taking her revenge.

Joanne had no sense of repentance at all, rather she was pushing the blame onto everyone else around her. The person she detested the most was still Irene. If it were not for Irene, would she be in this state?

Before this, she had thought of exposing the fact that Nathan and Rowane had slept together to Irene. Now that she had been kicked out, there was no point in being lowkey about it anymore. So, she told Lily about it and hoped that through her, the news would reach Irene.

Lily was shocked to hear that Nathan had slept together with Rowane. It was indeed a good way to provoke Irene. She had to think of a way to get Irene to hear about this so that she would feel hurt.

Just as Lily was deep in thought, Marie came over to visit her. Ever since Deborah's disappearance, Marie often came to visit to comfort her, just like a mother.
