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…”

“Tell me what happened. Is Edward giving you a hard time? Or is he mingling with other women? You can tell me everything. I will teach him a lesson when he is back.”

Janet smiles when she sees Joanna’s reactions. She pats Joanna’s hand and gives her a look of assurance.

What Janet says gives Joanna a green light to tell her about her main purpose today. She slowly speaks up about the reason why she comes visiting the Smith Mansion today.

“Janet, Alice is back. She is now a doctor of the Andrology Department in the hospital. Edward knows she is back and he visits her every day,” Joanna whines.

“What! How dare she come back! Is she messing with Edward again?”

When Janet heard that Alice is back, a sour look appears on her face.

She would never forget that she is the one forcing Alice to take abortion medicines, and she would like to have it remains as a secret.

Edward should never know about this! Luckily she’s been watching Alice’s mother all these years, just in case.

But she never expects Alice has the guts to come back.

“Janet, I’ve been to the hospital and I saw them together. I asked her to leave Edward alone and told her that we are engaged but she insists that it’s Edward who doesn’t want to let go.”

Joanna is confident in her acting skills. She almost cries when she tells Janet about the story.

“How dare she comes back and say that! That shameless woman! Edward would never do that!”

After listening to Joanna’s story, which she added unnecessary and false details, Janet frowns and her face expression twisted out of anger.

“I found out about it by accident. I was in Edward’s office looking for him the other day but he wasn’t in the office. So I asked his secretary and I was told that Edward goes to the hospital every day at the same time.”

Joanna continues making up her story. If Janet knows Edward at all, she wouldn’t have believed that a secretary would know Edward’s itinerary aside from his business’s schedule.

“When I heard that Edward went to the hospital, I worried that Edward was sick but when I arrived at the hospital, I saw Edward and Alice together.”

Joanna continues adding details to her story. She is not worried that Janet may be angry at all, instead, she wants her to be angry so that Janet will take care of Alice for her.

As Joanna expected, Janet is furious after hearing what she says. She slams the table and raises her voice, “That shameless woman, how dare she comes back and mess with Edward again!”

“Janet…” Joanna put on an aggrieved look as if she is terrified.

“Where is she now? I want to see her today. I want to know who gave her the courage to say Edward is harassing her.”

Janet is worried that Alice would spill the fact that she forced her to take abortion medicines.

At the same time, she doesn’t want Alice to ruin the wedding she’s been planning for Edward and Joanna. She wants to meet her personally and ask her to leave for good. This woman wants nothing but money, isn’t it?

Joanna quickly tells Janet which hospital Alice is working in when she sees Janet is enraged. Janet wants to head off to the hospital immediately.

Things are going exactly how Joanna wanted. She immediately brings Janet into her car and drives to the hospital.
