Chapter 428 This Is Who I Deserve Joanna wanted to defend herself, but before she could, Isabella chimed in with a laugh, âYou have such good foresight, Aunt Joanna, knowing a cheating seâm like him doesnât deserve your daughter, only at mistress is a good match for him. Donât worry, Janice wonât hold a grudge against them. After all. Uncle Eric has already taken sweet revenge on her behalf. Holding onto resentment will only make you seem petty She turned toward Janice after that, whose eyes were filled with mirth, and said, âJanice, heed your motherâs words. Next time you see Cecilia, remind her to get along with others well in the future and avoid offending the young ladies of the Quirk family. We, too, can throw our weight around.â
Isabellaâs voice dropped to a whisper at the last sentence, her gaze icy as she looked toward Joanna.
Some people caught a glimpse of Alexander in her in that fleeting moment.
Joanna was taken aback, unexpectedly stunned by the young girl standing before her. In the end, she didnât utter a single word of defiance.
Having processed the situation, she was so infuriated that her face turned pale..
What was even more infuriating was that her own daughter had actually agreed.
Joanna turned her head and gave Janice a sharp look.
In truth, the Janice of that day felt like a different person to her. The submissive young girl who always tried to appease her seemed to have disappeared. Janice even seemed indifferent toward her at that moment yet could smile at others.
Her smile was utterly foreign to Joanna. Joanna had no memory of Janice smiling like that.
Joanna completely refused to introspect, instead, she considered Janice an ingrate, a good for nothing, and a simp who brownânosed to the Quirks. As expected of her. I never liked her since she was young. Cecilia is so much more obedient, sensible, and wellâbehaved than her.
Recalling her plans for later, Joanna knew she was taking a reckless gamble. Therefore, before thatâ¦
Joanna tamped down her anger, feigning nonchalance to their mockery, and continued, âSo be it if youâve broken up. Coincidentally, the son of a friend of mine is recently visiting for business and is unfamiliar with the city. Can you look out for him and befriend him?â
Not waiting for Janiceâs response, she immediately waved toward the distance with a bright smile. It was a display of friendliness that she had never shown to any of the Quirks before.
Joannaâs implication was clear. She intended to introduce Janice to another potential suitor.
But I havenât heard Uncle Eric mention it at all. Seeing how resistant Janice is, itâs obvious that she doesnât like such arrangements. After all, she has just left a failed relationship.
Isabellaâs thoughts, on the other hand, were quite straightforward.
How odd. Sheâs not the type to consider her daughterâs interests. Is she perhaps worried that Janiceâs single status will disrupt the relationship between her precious Cecilia and Cody? After all, the Simmons familyâs preferred wife for their son is Janice, not Cecilia.

Chapter 426 This is Who 1 Deserve
Others were even more curious, wondering about the kind of man Joanna would introduce to Janice.
In the end, a chubby man was seen huffing and puffing as he hurried over. His face was plastered with a broad smile, his features round and large. His face was riddled with acne scars, a sight that could easily kill oneâs appetite.
Not all prominent families had handsome men, but they did have a knack for presenting themselves neatly. However, the man before them wasnât like that at all.
Is this young man the person Joanna wanted to introduce to Janice?
The Quirks were all wideâeyed in disbelief, and Janiceâs face had turned deathly pale.
So. in Motherâs eyes. I only deserve a man like this?
Everyoneâs upbringing had taught them not to judge a book by its cover yet in the next second, both Isabella and Rosalie felt an uncomfortable gaze.
His gaze was not only sleazy but also lecherous, sweeping back and forth between Isabella and Rosalie. lingering especially on Isabella.
âYou look so familiar, the chubby man, James Cooper, laughed. âLike one of the celebrities.
He didnât even bother to greet the others upon arrival and just started speaking directly to Isabella.
Isabellaâs expression instantly darkened as she cast a cold gaze toward Joanna.
Joanna, however, was looking at James with an affectionate look.
Christopher was already fuming by that point and snapped at James, âIf your gaze dares to wander this way again. Iâll gouge your eyes out? As he spoke, he picked up a fork from the dessert plate and stabbed it forcefully into the cake. James shuddered in fear, quickly averting his gaze.
