Chapter 235
Suddenly, Joanna held Winston’s hand. She gazed at his profile, hoping he would tell the reporters that he was indeed filing for divorce with Millie.
The reporters caught her small gesture and hurriedly zoomed in.
Millie had thought seeing them behave like that would no longer affect her. However, at that moment, she was somewhat furious.
Her frustration stemmed from the fact that they were no longer hiding their relationship. This was a press conference, after all, and it was broadcast nationwide.
If her parents and grandparents were watching, they would undoubtedly be infuriated.
“Millie and I are indeed-”
Before Winston could finish his sentence, there was a commotion outside the press conference venue. Everyone asked, “Who is it?”
“Who’s here?”
The crowd turned to look outside. Selma, exuding a commanding presence, strode into the venue with two rows of bodyguards trailing behind her.
She was clad in a black velvet suit, and her demeanor was as serious as ever. She stopped in front of the stage and stared at Winston.
Winston was momentarily stunned. What was his grandmother doing here?
In the next second, Selma shifted her gaze to Joanna, who gulped nervously. She then instincti ly ducked behind Winston. Deep down, she was still afraid of Selma.
Selma glared at Joanna and scoffed. “Winston, I can’t believe you held a press conference for Ms. Lowell.”
The reporters quickly grabbed their cameras, capturing every moment. They had a feeling that a major spectacle was about to unfold.
Feeling regretful, Joanna began, “Mrs. Greer Senior, I-
“Shut up!” Selma commanded, cutting off whatever Joanna was about to say.
Joanna’s face turned pale instantly. Selma was truly fierce. She didn’t even bother to show any mercy
to
her.
Selma glanced at the pair on stage as she remarked sarcastically, “Those who are aware might know this is a press conference, but to others, it could appear like your official announcement as a couple. “Winston, why is she even up there with you at your press conference? Tell her to step down!”
Her words shocked everyone in the room. Selma had ordered Joanna to get off the stage! There was no doubt she wanted to force her out.
Joanna froze in place. With so many reporters watching, Selma was practically humiliating her by asking her to step down. But she was the daughter of the Lowell family!
Winston bent down slightly and said in a low voice, “Grandma, please don’t cause trouble. We’re handling

official business.”

Yet, Selma was merciless as she went straight to the stage. Her assistant, following behind, cast a quick look at Joanna before gesturing toward the audience, saying, “Ms. Lowell, if you would.”
Joanna bit her lip. She was unsure of what to do next. So, she could only look at Winston.
He frowned in response. After a while, he nodded and signaled for her to leave.
