A Vengeful Bride novel Chapter 401

"So, everything was schemed, right?" Joanna clenched her fists, took a deep breath, and said to Nacho in a hoarse voice.

"Leave this matter to me. I'll explain it to Cedric. You don't have to worry about it."

"Just now, Cedric poured a bucket of ice water on me, pointed at me and asked me to go out."

"He also said that I am a b*tch."

Joanna covered her face and said with a sad expression.

Looking at Joanna's painful expression, Nacho reached out and patted her shoulder gently, "Cedric is very sensitive now. When he saw us hugging each other so ambiguously on the bed, he thought we had cheated on him. That's why he is so angry. In fact, he feels very painful in his heart."

"Nacho, what should I do?"

Joanna looked up at Nacho and said bitterly.

"Don't worry. I know Cedric well. He won't be fooled by others."

Under the dim light, the expression in Nacho's face changed. Before Joanna could see the expression in his eyes clearly, he had returned to normal.

"Go back to take care of Kerr first. I'll handle this."

"Okay." Looking at Nacho's eyes, Joanna's originally uneasy heart gradually relaxed. She believed that Nacho would definitely solve this problem.

Thinking of Cedric's disgusted tone while speaking to her, Joanna felt a dull pain in her heart.

Nacho asked his bodyguard to send Joanna back to the Xis. However, Joanna did not go back immediately. Instead, she asked the driver to send her to Earl's house.

Earl seemed to have known that Joanna would come to find him.

The corner of his mouth was broken by Nacho, and there were bruises on his face, but his face was still so handsome.

Earl said blandly when he saw Joanna, "I know that Nacho has told you everything. In my revenge, Nacho is the most unexpected person. He is difficult to deal with."

Because Nacho was reasonable and smart enough. Compared with Cedric who was impulsive, Nacho was calmer and even more rational, so he was hard to deal with. Most of the time, Nacho was the first one who found out that something was wrong.

"Why?" Joanna stood at the door with her back straight and asked Earl in a hoarse voice.

"Why? Do you think there is a need to ask this question?" Earl got up and walked into Joanna. His cold eyes were fierce at the moment.

"Do you know who incited Cheryl to hurt you?" At this moment, Earl gave Joanna a strange feeling. His face was evil and vicious, which made Joanna feel chilled in her heart. Joanna clenched her fists tightly, and there was a dull and painful feeling in her heart.

"I've always regarded you as my family member. I thought... we were good friends." Joanna looked at Earl helplessly and muttered.

"Friends? We can never be friends. We are enemies!"

Earl reached out and squeezed Joanna's chin as he said with ferocious eyes.

"Have you achieved your purpose now?" Joanna looked at Earl and sneered.

"No, there's one more thing that I haven't done." Earl looked at Joanna playfully and said evilly.

Joanna took a deep breath and said blandly, "Isn't it enough for you to hurt me like this?"

"People who I want to hurt is not only you, but also... Cedric." Earl got close to Joanna's ear and whispered. Hearing it, Joanna raised her hand and slapped Earl in the face.

Joanna used so much strength that Earl's face was slapped aside at once.

Earl was so angry, and his cold eyes were full of viciousness and unhappiness.

"Joanna, how dare you beat me!"

"So what?" Joanna looked at Earl arrogantly, raised her foot and kicked his shin heavily.

"You're so disgusting! I regard you as my friend, but you treat me like this. You'll die a terrible death!"

"Have you abided by your promise to Arvin? You live a sweet life with Cedric, but you've forgotten Arvin completely. You're much more disgusting than me!"

Hearing Arvin's name, Joanna trembled all over. She opened her eyes wide as she looked at Earl who was approaching her.

Earl approached Joanna and asked with cold eyes, "Joanna, do you remember Arvin now?"

"What... is the relationship between you and Arvin?"

Nacho said that Angelo's real name was Earl Brook rather thanAngelo Brook.

Brook?

"Why did you come back?" Cedric stared at Joanna gloomily and said with angry eyes.

Joanna looked at Kerr, who was crying with grievance in her arms, and then looked at Cedric. She said sadly, "Cedric, do you remember what you said to me before?"

Sitting in the wheelchair, Cedric clenched his hands into fists.

He lowered his head as if he was lost in thought.

Seeing Cedric like this, Joanna took a deep breath and said to him with a bitter smile, "Cedric, you don't believe me now, and you even don't believe your younger brother. You've known Nacho for so long, even if you don't believe me, you should believe him! You know what kind of people Earl is. I used to be stupid and didn't know that Earl got close to me with a purpose. Now I have known that, but what about you? Cedric, have you understood his purpose?"

"I think we may need to calm down for some time."

After Joanna finished speaking, she left Cedric's room with Kerr in her arms.

Cedric stared at Joanna's back with gloomy eyes. Then, he swept everything on the table to the ground as if he was mad.

Paul walked in, looked at the mess on the ground and said respectfully, "Young Master Cedric, everything is ready."

"Do it according to... the plan." Cedric slowly closed his extremely cold eyes.

"Okay."

"Joanna, if we really love each other, we should know each other's hearts. You will understand me, right?"

Cedric opened his eyes and stared at the crystal lamp in the ceiling for a long time.

"Joanna, you and Young Master Cedric are going to get married soon. Why do you suddenly have a quarrel?" Joanna came out of the house and contacted Anna, a colleague who had a good relationship with her.

Anna was a very easy-going woman, and she was Joanna's good friend. When the news of Joanna and Cedric getting married was announced, Anna was the first one to congratulate Joanna.

But Joanna suddenly took Kerr and asked Anna to take her in for a few days, so Anna felt very strange.

Of course, Anna didn't mind Joanna living in her house.

"There's no more wedding." Looking at Kerr who was holding the feeding bottle and drinking the milk contentedly, Joanna smiled gently. After wiping the milk stains on the corner of Kerr's mouth with her finger, she shook her head at Anna.

"What? But everyone in Beijing knows that you and Young Master Cedric are getting married. How could you suddenly..." Anna was shocked by Joanna's words and opened her eyes wide, as if she couldn't believe what Joanna said.
