The Unexpected Marriage novel Chapter 9

Scott frowned in disgust and walked away, ignoring Laura who tried to get close to him. Laura's face turned pale.

"Mom..." Joan wanted to take her card back. She wouldn't take Scott's money.

"Don't call me mom! I have never had a daughter in jail like you! " Laura glared at Joan in disgust and said, "Joan, what are you doing here? Why is there a divorce agreement?! Good! You've been in prison for three years. Are you insane?! To divorce with Scott! "

Celia, who was standing beside, had been angered a lot by the indifference of Scott. Now that Scott had left, she was going to give a vent of her anger on Joan. "Who do you think you are? How can you be so shameless to divorce Scott? Joan, do you still think you are the daughter of the rich Gu family! Don't pretend to be pure and lofty. You make me sick! "

Joan's stepmother and stepsister always hated her. Joan didn't bother to argue with them. She came home for one purpose. "Where is my father's graveyard?" she asked.

Laura froze for a moment, and then her face darkened. She threw the handbag from her hand to the ground. Joan noticed that it was a classic collection of the Prada, which was worth a lot of money. What's more, her jewels were of top class luxury brands. But what was most obvious was that on the collar of the woman, there were hickeys! In the past few years, after the her father died and the Gu's company went bankrupt, the widow still lived a happy life!

A gust of chill swept over her and she was so furious. But Laura didn't notice it and kept on talking.

"Joan, how dare you mention your father? It's all your fault! You killed him! How could the Gu family has a daughter like you? How humiliating! Oh, if I were you, I would be too ashamed to stand here now. Do you know that you have ruined the whole Gu Company... "

"Where is my father's grave?" Joan interrupted her. Her face was as cold as ice. She cast a sharp glance at Laura, who could not help shuddering and telling her the cremains of her father subconsciously.

Joan knew what she wanted to know. She didn't want to stay there any longer.

"Joan, go. You will never be able to come back to the house again! Unless... Tell me the password of this bank card honestly. I put a lot of effort to keep this house. If you dare to divorce with Scott, you should know the consequence. I won't take you in for nothing! "

Standing up, Joan slowly turned around, staring at the arrogant stepmother in front of her with her dark eyes with a mocking smile on her lips. "Mrs. Xu, since you are not my mother, you don't have to worry about me. You'd better keep an eye on your own daughter."

She heard Linda said that since the bankruptcy of Gu Company, Celia Xu had always wanted to marry a rich man and returned to a good life. She started to date a rich guy, but it didn't take long for the man to dump her and fall in love with another woman. Celia Xu was famous for being a shrew in her circle. But she was beautiful and knew well about men's thoughts, so guys were willing to date her.

In fact, before she married to Scott, Celia had also put a lot of thoughts into the relationship with him. However, Scott had finally chosen Joan, which made Celia hate her more.

Both two women in the living room had a long face. Joan clenched her fists and walked straight towards the cemetery in the suburb.

She left in a hurry and didn't notice a strange silver Bentley parked in front of her house.

A handsome and elegant face was reflected on the car window. His eyes were on Joan until she disappeared from his sight.

In a graceful manner, the man untied the delicate and precious silver sleeve, loosened the tie around his neck slowly, and scratched to open a file bag on the black suit trousers with his slender fingers.

"It turns out that she is the woman who got married to Scott three years ago. She is a little different from the rumor."

More than three years ago, he did not enter S City, but the news about the marriage was overwhelming. It was not difficult for him to know it. One was the most graceful woman in S City, the other was the leader of the construction industry. The marriage between the daughter of Gu family and the young master of the Jian family made a lot of people jealous, although it was for profit. Joan had a talent in architecture and design, which promoted the fast development of the Jian Company. The big orders in the past were all made by her.
