Rebirth of an Ardent Wife: The Boss’s Devotion

“What else can she do besides endure it? Serves her right for being so shameless and not calling off the engagement despite it being clear that Young Master Ford doesn’t like her!”

Two girls were exchanging mocking remarks, deliberately wanting to irritate Joelle.

Joelle simply curled her lips into an ambiguous smile, glanced at them, and uttered a simple question that sent the girls shivering in fear.

“Are you looking for a beating?”

Both girls sucked in their breaths out of terror. They knew how serious Joelle was from her previous direct confrontation against their classmates’ pranks, so they stomped their feet in annoyance and sheepishly ran away. They couldn’t handle Joelle’s wrath, but they could hide from her.

Georgia, on the other hand, put on a sorrowful expression when she heard such a remark.

“Jo, I didn’t do it on purpose. It’s just that I’m injured, so Walter is taking care of me, that’s all. Please don’t overthink it.”

Joelle’s hand froze in the middle of writing and she laughed out loud suddenly.

“Wow, I’ve seen a lot of drama queens, but you’re the first whom I think deserves an Oscar. Why do you overly indulge in your extortion?”

She was so blunt and straightforward that a layer of mist appeared over Georgia’s eyes instantly. She turned to Walter with those helpless eyes, filled with grievances and sorrow.

Walter frowned and said instantly, “That’s enough! Joelle Nance, are you even listening to yourself? The accident happened when Ginny was on her way to rescue you. Don’t you think it’s a little too harsh and cold-blooded to say that to her?”

Joelle smirked, followed by a series of loud laughs as if she had heard the best joke of the year. She was laughing so hard that her tears flowed out of her eyes.

Yes, the news of her kidnapping had spread like wildfire among the society, but for the sake of their family’s reputation, Simon didn’t reveal to the public that Victor was the mastermind behind her kidnapping.

As for Georgia, her accident and injury were interpreted as a heroic act since she was involved in the accident on the way to look for her, regardless of the truth.

Slowly, Joelle composed herself from her laughter. She didn’t explain anything, she was reluctant to do so anyway.

She rolled the mock test paper into a ball, hurled it in the air, dropped the paper ball directly into the trash can.

Then, she turned and left.

She could not be bothered to argue with these irrelevant people.

On the way back to the dorm, Joelle received a call from Seth.

For the past few days, his company had gradually been back on track. In fact, in a very short period of time, he was offered a small-time advertising job.

It was only an advertisement for an unknown clothing brand with pitiful wages but making money was the least of their concerns. When they signed the first advertisement contract after reorganizing the company, they hoped that they could make a name for the company through this work to slowly penetrate the market and tell the world with their relentless effort that they had made a comeback with great determination and agility, and that they aimed for a better future!

However, the road to comeback was meant to be bumpy and rugged.

Due to their inferior name, those second-rate models got on their high horses and quoted a ridiculous price for the job, and they even gave them a hard time in accepting the job…

Seth had devoted a lot of effort and creativity in this job and there was no room for flaws and mistakes. Hence, the collaboration with the second-rate models was called off…

Joelle frowned in confusion after hearing what Seth told her. “Let me get this straight. You want me to be the model?”

“Yes!”

In Seth’s opinion, the models would not only turn the whole experience unpleasant, but they would also suffer monetary loss afterward. However, Joelle was different. She was the boss, so it would not cost the company anything to hire her. Besides, her stunning and beautiful looks surpassed that of those women who thought highly of themselves!

Forgoing such a top-level beauty would be a huge waste!

His only concern was whether Joelle would agree to his request.

Joelle was supposedly reluctant to do so, but she knew that Seth would not make such a request unless he was really at a dead end. Thus, she nodded albeit hesitantly and said, “Okay, I’ll do it, but on one condition—I don’t want to show my face.”

“Deal!”

Once the matter was finalized, Joelle didn’t return to the dorm. Instead, she exited the school, took a cab, and went to the shooting location.
