"Cousin, I …" Becky bit her lip, her eyes asking for Joanna's help. Joanna had been watching quietly. She mulled over, 'I will find out what kind of person Isla is. There is no need to make an ugly scene. If she is highly cultured and reasonable, I will talk to her and solve the problem peacefully.' Isla turned out to be an arrogant woman. Joanna decided to change her strategy and get straight to the point.
She didn't expect all of this to have been plotted by Becky. Becky provoked and angered Isla on purpose so that Joanna would think the worst of her, forming a stark contrast with her virtuous and good-natured character. Becky believed that she was the better partner for Aron, compared to such an impolite and rude Isla.
"Becky, are you alright?" Joanna asked with her brows knitted as she got Becky back on her feet. Becky cast an angry look in Isla's direction and replied, "Grandmother, I am okay." When Isla heard Becky call the old woman "Grandmother", she realized who Joanna was and why Becky created this drama. Isla thought, 'Becky did all of this intentionally so that Aron's grandmother will think badly of me.
Becky will do everything she can just like she did four years ago to push me away from Aron.'
"You are Miss Zhao, aren't you?" Joanna sneered at Isla, "I am Aron's grandmother. But I don't know if it is my place to talk to you about Aron."
"Madam, things are not as what Becky has told you. She took Aron away from…" Isla was anxious to explain. She had never forgotten Aron all these years. Although she has not yet agreed to be Aron's girlfriend, she wanted to show the best of herself in front of his grandmother. After all, if Aron's family didn't like her, it would be a big problem for him. So Isla wanted to tell the truth about the story of their love and what a bad person Becky was.
But Becky wouldn't give Isla any chance to explain herself. She said in a low and sad voice as she held Joanna's hand, "Grandmother, let's go. There is no need to
to go against Joanna. But with Paula, there was no need to restrain her anger. She questioned, "Why are you here? This is none of your damn business."
"What? Is it so unbearable for me to tell the truth?" Paula thought, 'You have three opponents here today. Ye is not here to help you. It's impossible to fight all of us and win.' Her lips twisted mockingly, "The climate in the company has changed since you and Ye started working here. Ye knew Mr. Lu was married and yet she succeed in convincing him to buy this company for her. Now, you covet your brother-in-law. As the proverb goes, 'Birds of a feather flock together.' No doubt you two are best friends. Both of you are good at calculating and seducing men."
There was quite a lot of rumors about Autumn and Charles and the employees had become more and more suspicious. It was hard to ignore that Charles bought Cloud Advertising Company just to give it to Autumn Ye. It somehow sparked the rumor that she was Charles' lover. There was an uproar in the crowd after Paula's remarks.
"Paula is right. Ye knew Mr. Lu is married, but she persuaded him to buy this company for her. What a manipulative bitch."
"Yeah, I agree. Ye used to be silent and kept to herself. I didn't realize she would do such a thing. Such indecency! Mr. Lu has gotten married not long ago."
