The shopping assistant left in dissatisfaction.

Manager Joshua Ranson watched David Benington and Annie Lawrence, who were still in the store, and silently lit virtual candles for them in his mind.

He knew who the young master of Benington Group was.

Admittedly, he was a figure of some stature.

However, compared to President Ashton, he was simply insignificant.

Not even worthy of a mention.

Although he and the woman beside him did not directly frame Ms.

Joanna earlier, their attitude wasn’t much better.

If Ms.

Joanna decided to retaliate against their disrespect, the Benington Group would certainly be in for a rough time.

Pondering this, Manager Ranson cast a sympathetic look at the pair before he turned and got ready to leave.

“Manager Ranson…”

A soft coquettish voice came from behind him.

He turned back to find that it was the woman in David Benington’s arms who called him.

He was taken aback: “Does the lady need something?”

Annie Lawrence took a step away from David Benington, still holding his arm, and softly asked, “I am the sister of Joanna Lawrence.

Just now you helped my sister by disciplining those disrespectful employees.

I would like to express our gratitude on her behalf.”

Manager Ranson was again surprised and furrowed his brows, “To do something for Ms.

Joanna is my honor!

I would certainly not dare to expect her gratitude.”

The color rapidly drained from Annie’s face when she heard this.

Just who had Joanna associated herself with?

Surely this Manager Ranson was behaving unusually humble and respectful.

Her discomfort grew.

She bit her lip and asked, “Do you and my sister know each other well?

How did you two meet?”

Only then did Manager Ranson perceive her true motive.

It seemed she was using this as a pretense to pry for information.

Instantly, his face hardened, his tone colder when he spoke again, “That is none of your concern.

However, since you are her sister, allow me to remind you.

Ms.

Joanna is not someone you can offend. free𝑤ebnovel.com

You best be more respectful toward her in the future.”

After dropping this sentence, Manager Ranson turned and left.

Annie Lawrence was so angry that her face turned green.

She clenched her teeth, her expression indignant.

“David, did you hear what he said just now?

Do you think Joanna is with some rich man?”

“Impossible.”

David’s face fell immediately.

“Joanna is not a materialistic person.

She would never do anything like that.”

“But…” Annie still wanted to say something.

With a sudden turn, David looked back at her, “Annie…

I have known Joanna for a full ten years.

I know her too well.

She would never do anything like that.

We’ve been together for many years, and she’s never asked me for anything.”

“Whenever I give her an expensive gift, she always frets about the money I’ve spent.”

Seeing the longing in David’s eyes when speaking of these moments, a flame of jealousy ignited within Annie’s heart.

Although David always proclaimed his love for her verbally, yet when he mentioned Joanna, his eyes clearly showed his unwillingness to let go.

Also, what did he mean by what he just said?

Joanna had never asked him for money, Joanna did not want him to spend too much, hence Joanna wasn’t a materialistic woman.

So what about her?

She often asked him to buy her gifts, expensive ones at that.

Was he insinuating that she was a gold digger?

As she thought of this, Annie’s face darkened further, she was fuming inside.

Yet she didn’t dare to vent her anger in front of David.
