Despite Joanna's typically mature demeanor, no one expected a childish outburst from her in a situation like this. She mockingly rolled her tongue and delivered victorious words.
"It must burn you that Alex is still going ahead with the wedding. Well, there is a lot about the love we share that you all would never understand."
Even if Alex was pretending, at least he proved to her enemies that he didn't believe the pictures, and that was enough for her.
The fact that he did not turn his back on her was also enough to give her time to dig into the root of what happened that day.
However, her father's figure blocked her way the moment she reached the entrance.
"Joanna Baker, you have brought shame into this family, and I will never walk you down the aisle."
There was a moment of sorrow on Joanna's face, making Mia and Rene feel as if they had won, followed by an irritating laughter.
