Oh Please, My Ex-wife novel Chapter 94

Looking back at Alice, who knows nothing behind her, Joanna smiles contemptuously. Alice, you can come back from America after five years. This time, I'll see if you can get out of jail!

Even if Edward will accept a divorced woman, there's no way the Smith family will accept a mistress who's been to prison. What's more, you're a divorced woman who went to prison for hurting a member of the Smith family.

Alice, what makes you think you can compete with me over Edward?

"aunty, I've come to see you. Is Edward not home for dinner again today?"

Putting on a gentle and graceful smile, Joanna walks briskly into the Smith House. She has been to the Smith House countless times, and she is already as familiar and relaxed here as in her own home.

When Janet hears Joanna's words, she immediately stops smiling.

"Don't mention him. He's just not a filial son! Just for one woman, he's been mad at me over and over again. I don't know what's so good about that Alice!"

Joanna knows that she has managed to arouse Janet's anger. Alice is not liked by the Smith family in the first place, and the more precious Edward treats her, the more the Smith family, especially Janet, hates Alice.

"Aunty, there's no such thing as an overnight feud between mother and son. Edward is just going astray for a while, and I'm sure he'll soon realize how good you are to him..."

"Humph! It's been five years. That woman is still really annoying. Never mind, let's not talk about her. It isn't easy for you to come here. I will let Edward have dinner with you today anyway."

Joanna blushes for a moment. She has always been able to get a good handle on Janet's moods. Janet likes daughters-in-law who can listen to her and be nice, and she's always done a good job of that.

Edward is eventually called back. He is very reluctant to have a dispute with his parents, except for the matter of Alice. After all, they are the ones who have raised him for years.

Joanna's eyes light up the moment she sees Edward, as if Edward is the only light in her world.

This woman is such a good actress!

"Don't make that phony face. It's disgusting to look at!"

Edward has little patience for any other woman but Alice, especially Joanna, whom he dislikes more and more. He thinks she's too willful.

Joanna seems to be frightened but also extremely eager to get close to Edward. She looked at Edward with the disappointed look of a small animal, and even Janet, who looks on the side, can’t bear.

Edward's brow furrows as if he can't stand it as soon as he comes into contact with Joanna's eyes.

Seeing such a scene, Janet immediately throws out her chopsticks.

"Edward, is having a meal with me so unbearable for you? Is that bitch so nice that you left your family to guard her? She's made you ungrateful. I don't think she's a good person!"

Edward's face looks both ugly and helpless. He has come back to eat with his mother because he doesn't want her to say that Alice won't let him come home. And now he's already back, yet his mother still blames Alice.

Taking a look at Joanna, who is still watching him obsessively, Edward instantly loses his appetite.

"Mom, I'm done eating. I will go back to the company first." With that, he stands up immediately. Joanna just serves a bowl of soup, but Edward suddenly gets up, causing her to spill a bowl of soup all over him.

"I'm sorry..." Joanna gets up in a hurry. She reaches out to wipe Edward up, but Edward blocks her with one hand. He glances at the soup on his shirt in disgust, and then he drops the phone he already has in his hand and gets up to go back to his room.

A moment later, Janet looks at Joanna and leaves the table as well. Joanna picks up Edward's phone and looks around. The maids are busy and no one is paying attention to what she's doing.

She taps on the phone a few times quickly. And then, she acts as if nothing has happened and heads off in the direction Janet left.

As long as Janet still likes her and recognizes her as the Smith family's daughter-in-law, no one will be able to drive her away, no matter how much Edward loathes her.

A good show is about to begin. Alice and that annoying Jacquiline, I have a great gift for you!

Jacquiline is stunned when she receives Edward's message, but then she is delighted. Edward asks her out for coffee.

Maybe Edward is asking her out because of Alice, but the thought of the two of them sitting alone over a cup of coffee leaves only the sender of Edward in Jacquiline's heart and eyes.

Love without a cause is like holding a torch against the wind, and it will burn your hand.

At this point, Jacquiline has less sense to find out why Edward asked her out.

Jacquiline tries on one dress after another until it's almost time for her appointment, and then she hastily puts on a tender dress. But as soon as she goes out she regrets it, maybe that one is better...

Jacquiline is wondering all the way to the coffee shop. When she arrives, she finds that it is still ten minutes early. It is only then that she realizes that the coffee shop is not far from her home. She guesses it is because Edward doesn’t want to make her too tired.

Jacquiline finds a corner to park. She carefully fixes her makeup, while then purses her lips hard, takes a deep breath and prepares to walk inside the coffee shop.

"Bang." She feels the whole world suddenly spin. With a sweeping shift in perspective, Jacquiline, who is well made up and well dressed, had laid still and unmoving on the floor. It is as if time has stood still at this moment.

A tall and charming woman comes out of a car and leaves the black leather bag she is carrying next to Jacquiline's face. Then a car hurried away.

"There's never a shortage of people in this world who don't know what they're doing, and well, one less of her is no big deal." Joanna snorts and parks her car in an inconspicuous spot.

That's right. Just a second before, she has crashed into Jacquiline with a car identical to Alice's. Even the bag she has dropped off was she stolen from Alice's clinic.

The driver can't be seen from the surveillance, but the license plate number is unique, not to mention the material evidence of that bag. The person who hit Jacquiline is Alice, and can only be Alice.

Joanna feels happy to have solved Alice, who is the most annoying, and Jacquiline, who is the most unpleasant one, all at once.

Jacquiline thinks Edward called her out, which is why she's dressed so brightly. What's the use? Not to mention that Edward isn't the one who called her out today, but even if he did, he won't give her a second look.

Humph! Cousin! It is only because she is his cousin that Edward is indulgent to her. Does she really think Edward would like her
