NovelEnglishChapter 1238 Discipline Your Daughter
Upon hearing the words, Vera turned around with a hint of surprise in her eyes.
Johanna was gracefully standing there.
“Hey, Mom. You’re here!” Jsaid, not surprised by Johanna’s arrival because she was the one who had secretly texted her,
asking her to come.
Jwelcomed her with a bright smile as she walked over to Johanna, held her arm, and led her to sit down from across Vera.
Noticing Johanna’s smile, Vera was a bit embarrassed and asked, “Mrs. White, how did you find the tto chere?”
“I was just passing by,” Johanna said with a faint smile, nodding her head. “But I wasn’t expecting to see Mrs. Harding lecturing
my daughter.”
Vera could sense that Johanna had cto support Janet.
Her expression darkened and she said, “Mrs. White, since you’ve seen it, I would like to ask you to discipline your daughter. Tell
her to stop meddling in other people’s family matters.”
Johanna remained calm when facing her accusation and said, “My daughter has always beento discipline her. Besides, you
don’t have the right to point fingers at my daughter.”
Vera sneered, “I’ve never seen a girl in our social circle who meddles in other people’s family affairs as your daughter does.”
friend in need. How is that wrong?”
“You!” Words got stuck in Vera’s throat.
She did not expect Johanna to be as eloquent as Janet, which put her at a loss for words.
Although Johanna was still wearing a gentle smile, her words were razor-sharp. “If Laney were my friend, I would have already
made her divorce Garrett. And Jwas only helping them get a temporary separation to calm down, which has already saved
the Harding family’s face enough.”
“Johanna White! Don’t go too far!” Vera’s face turned red and livid from anger.
She did not expect Johanna to be so protective of her daughter while completely disregarding the most basic etiquettes in their
social circle.
Johanna smiled calmly and said, “Mrs. Harding, Jhas already helped your family save face. She has no ill intentions
towards your family. It’s not her fault that she wants to protect her friend.”
Clenching her fists, Vera hissed, “Fine. I don’t want to argue with you here. I hope Laney can divorce Garrett soon. She’s nothing
but a troublemaker. As long as she gives the baby back to us, she can go anywhere!”
Upon hearing that, Johanna’s smile gradually faded. “Mrs. Harding, Laney almost died giving birth to her daughter. Not only did
your family fail to protect her, but you also want to take her daughter away from her? That’s absurd.”
Vera opened her mouth to argue, but Johanna cut her off coldly, “We’ve already saved you and Garrett from embarrassment. Or
else, this matter would not have been so easy for you.”
social circle entering the cafe.
Panicking, Vera recalled Leo’s warning. He had told her not to meet these women, but now it was too late.
The ladies walked straight to them.
“Mrs. White, you’re here so early! We’re sorry to have kept you waiting,” one of them greeted Johanna warmly.
“Oh, don’t worry about it. I just got here myself. Please, take a seat,” Johanna replied with a smile.
Jalso greeted the ladies courteously.
Vera stood frozen in place, feeling embarrassed.
She finally understood why Johanna was there. She was planning to have high tea with those ladies.
After greeting them, the other women noticed Vera standing on the side awkwardly.
“Oh, Mrs. Harding. You’re here, too.”
The women greeted Vera with smiles. Vera forced a smile and stuttered, “Yes...”
These women had heard about the recent scandal in the Harding family and had assumed that Vera would not show up for
social events for a long time. So they were surprised to see her there.
Mrs. Lee, one of the member of the group, asked Vera curiously, “Mrs. Harding, were you also invited by Mrs. White for the
afternoon tea?”
The truth was that Johanna did not invite her at all and she had only cto cause trouble for Janet.
Vera was so embarrassed that she wanted to dig a hole and bury herself in it.
Just moments ago, she had argued with Johanna and Janet, so she knew that Johanna might not take her side. In fact, she
might even speak ill of her before these women, leaving her no chance of ever showing up again in public.
Unexpectedly, Vera saw Johanna nod her head and say, “Yes, I invited Mrs. Harding.” Vera was surprised. She thought Johanna
would use the chance to humiliate her. She did not expect her to show kindness.
