Oh Please, My Ex-wife novel Chapter 51

In the Spring Mansion.

“No way!”

Joanna paces back and forth on the room as she groans from time to time. Her pretty face turns horrible from hatred and jealousy.

Her father's words come across her mind. Her eyes sparkle as an idea come to her.

Father is right. There’s no need to get her hand dirty. There is someone who doesn’t want Alice and Edward back together as much as her.

…

The Smith Mansion carries beautiful scenery and a solemn touch. There is a servant trimming landscapes in the garden. Suddenly, a striking-red Cadillac drives into the mansion.

Dust is raised as the car owner hits the brake. It startles the maid who waters plants at the side and almost drops her tools onto the floor. When she sees a pretty woman walks down from the car, she put on an ingratiating smile and greets her, “Good day, Ms. Hale.”

The housekeeper notices their future Young Mistress is here, he quickly opens the mansion door and welcomes her.

“Is Janet home?”

Joanna tucks her hair behind her ears. This allows her exquisite makeup and fair skin to show. She casually passes her present to the housekeeper and walks into the mansion where she already pretty familiar with.

The reason why Joanna didn’t ask about Edward is that she already knew Edward is working in his office right now. She never worries about Edward noticing her arrival to make complaints.

“Ms. Hale, Madam is in the backyard garden.” The housekeeper takes the presents off from Joanna’s hand reverently and follows her in case she needs any assistance.

Of course, she has the privilege. She is the fiancée for their Young Master.

Joanna slowly walks into the mansion. The Smith Mansion is a manor. It consists of a front garden, a backyard garden, a private open-air swimming pool, and other luxurious facilities.

However, even with so many luxurious facilities, their Young Master, Edward Smith, rarely comes back to the mansion. Although Janet isn’t quite happy about this, she couldn’t do anything.

Joanna walks towards the direction of the backyard garden.

She knows Janet has a habit of enjoying her high tea session every day, which is why she isn’t surprised at all about the housekeeper’s answer. After ten minutes or so, she arrives in the backyard.

There is a well-maintain lady sitting in the gazebo, enjoying her tea while reading a magazine. As Joanna walks towards her, she immediately notices her arrival.

“Oh, it’s Joanna. I’m glad that you have time to come over today. Come, sit. You come at the wrong timing though. Edward is not home.” Janet gives Joanna a warm welcome the moment she sees her. She is pretty happy with her future daughter-in-law.

“Janet, stop teasing me. Why can’t I come to visit you without Edward’s attendance?” Joanna walks over and sits closely next to Janet, and put on a pretentious angry face.

“Of course you can. What a sweetie. Why did it occur to you to come to visit me? Did Edward did something that makes you angry?”

Janet isn’t any ordinary woman. She can easily read people’s mind after all those years interacting with different people. Joanna is obviously pretty distracted.

“What an unusual foresight you have, Janet,” Joanna put on an indecisive face as if she didn’t want to bother Janet with her problem but in fact, Janet’s reaction is exactly what she wanted. “The reason I came today not only to visit you but there’s something…”
