Chapter 905

Justin was speechless. He really didn’t know how to respond to Jonah’s reasoning.

It was clear that trying to reason with someone who saw things like a lovesick puppy was like talking to a brick wall.

Justin also realized the undeniable power of a first love.

Jonah was utterly captivated by Hailey, the rich girl who had entered his life when

he was just a poor kid he just couldn’t let go.

As a rational person, Justin couldn’t stand Hailey. She had hurt his best friend

over and over again.

“Jonah, get a grip. It’s like Hailey’s got you completely under her spell.”

Just then, the office door opened, and Joanne walked in.

Today, Joanne looked stunning. Her silk dress hugged her figure perfectly, and every strand of her hair was carefully styled.

She was clearly making an effort to win Jonah over, knowing how important this time was for her to get him to fall for her.

“Jonah, what are you and Justin talking about? Joanne asked with a smile.

Justin replied, “Joanne, you need to talk some sense into Jonah. He’s going to a fancy restaurant with Hailey tonight.”

What?

Joanne’s expression immediately changed. She quickly stepped forward and asked, “Jonah, didn’t you break up with Ms. Hailey? Why are you getting back together with her?”

Justin said, “Ms. Hailey came to him, said she liked him, and Jonah just gave in.” Joanne clenched her fists.

Why did Hailey always have to get in her way? She wasn’t going to let Jonah go to Hailey.

“Jonah, she’s been tricking you from the start. She wouldn’t look at you when your face was ruined, but now that you’re handsome again, she says she likes you. Don’t let her fool you again.”

Jonah turned to Joanne. “She hasn’t fooled me. She likes me for how I look now, and I happen to like how I look too. Isn’t that enough?”

Joanne and Justin were silent.

Jonah glanced at the watch on his wrist. “I’ve got to go. I’ll see you later.”

“Jonah!” Joanne called out, her voice full of frustration.

Justin said, “Jonah, can’t you see it? Joanne’s the one who’s been there for you and stuck by your side. She’s the one who went all the way. Barombya to get that snow lotus for you. Without her, your face wouldn’t be how it is now.”

Jonah turned to Joanne and said, “Joanne, I’m grateful for everything. That’s why

I had Jeremy transfer ten million dollars to your account.”

Joanne’s face went pale. She had gotten the snow lotus for Jonah, and in return, he had merely given her ten million dollars. Latest content published on find•novel.net

He never once led her on.

Justin frowned. “Jonah, what Joanne wants isn’t money. What she wants is you!”

Jonah looked at Joanne. “Is that what you want?”

Joanne nodded. “Yes, Jonah. I love you.”

Jonah replied, “Then you should know-I don’t love you.”

Joanne froze up.

Jonah continued, “I only ever saw you as a friend. You’ve always

Kmet

known that there’s no trace of that. anything romantic between us.. you think the ten million dollars wasn’t enough have Jeremy wire your another ten. That’s all can offer

you, Joanne… Apart from money, there’s nothing more I can offer you. Do you understand?”

Joanne’s hands curled into fists at her sides.

Jonah said, “We’re adults, and we both know what this is. I’m leaving.”

With that, he left.

Justin was frustrated. “He’s really

not going to stop until he hits rock

on

bottom Guess he’s just set on

crashing and burning over Ms.

Hailey.”

Joanne was unwilling to accept it. She had put in so much effort for so long, yet

she still couldn’t win against Hailey.

She just couldn’t accept it.

“Justin, do you know which restaurant they’re meeting at?” she asked.
