Chapter 3064
Seeing Joan instantly relax, the woman smiled.Youngsters are known to be reckless.
They just need time to cool off.
With that, the woman turned and walked away.
Looking at the figure in the distance, gratitude gleamed in Joan's eyes.
There are certain things I find difficult to tell my family and friends, but I can always tell them to a stranger, right? Since we don't know each other, I won't need to worry if he or she will laugh at me.
Besides, a civilized person wouldn't laugh.
When the sky grew dark, Joan tugged her coat tighter around herself and turned to leave.
Back indoors, her phone kept ringing the moment she switched it back on.
Perhaps she found it annoying, she picked up the call and put it on speaker before throwing the phone on the sofa.
"Joan, where are you now? We're all going crazy here!"
Jessica's voice sounded panicked on the other end of the line.
"Tell me where you are and I'll go right over."
Going crazy, huh?How crazy? Joan lips curled into a smile that didn't reach her eyes.
"I've gone abroad" she answered impassively.
The person on the other end of the line fell silent.
Why did she leave the country all of a sudden? Unsettled, Jessica scratched the back of her head.
I have to tell Larry about this!
"Joan, let me explain.The scandal about Larry is actually fake.Don't believe a thing you see or hear" Jessica quickly said.
Fake?Who's she trying to bluff?Never mind if only one person says it, but it was even in the newspapers!How could it possibly be fake? Joan bit down hard her bottom lip, trying to quell her anger.
"If there's nothing else, I'm gonna hang up now-"
With that, she directly ended the call.
