Joanne was at a loss and had to look at Brian, hoping that Brian could give her an answer.

Though she knew that it wasn't very practical how could Brian know about the person who came to her when she didn't even have a clue?

However, life is full of surprises.

Brian unexpectedly said the name of a person-

"Aunt Nyla?"

Joanne was stunned for a moment, her mind then floated to Aunt Nyla arrogantly provoking her.

Of the girls she knew with the surname Zhang, it seemed like the only one who could familiarly come here to find her was really Aunt Nyla.

Of course, she and Aunt Nyla were not close enough to visit each other.

Aunt Nyla came to see her this time, most likely for something.

Joanne is still in a state of surprise, Brian has already made a decision for her, explaining to Simon, "Tell Aunt Nyla that Joanne will not see her. Also, notify the property, from today onwards, don't give Aunt Nyla any more releases."

Simon nodded, "Okay, I'll go now."

Simon just wanted to go out, Joanne called out to him, "Simon, no need, I'll go down to see her."

Brian frowned and reminded Joanne, "Aunt Nyla came to you for ..."

"I don't care what she's after." Joanne interrupted Brian and said calmly, "I'll see her one last time."

There were some things that she needed to make clear to Aunt Nyla.

Brian looked at Joanne for a moment, but finally nodded and instructed, "If she is unreasonable, you can just tell her to leave."

Joanne tilted her head, a touch of certainty in her smile, and said, "I think that Aunt Nyla should not have come to find me this time to be unreasonable."

Aunt Nyla had already tasted the consequences of being unreasonable last time she was detained for half a month.

After this incident, Aunt Nyla should not be that little girl who thinks highly of herself anymore. She came to find her this time, it should no longer be for the purpose of provoking her, saying that she wants to compete with her for Brian and this kind of "grandiose words".

Some truths, though cruel, had been laid out in front of Aunt Nyla, and she had to accept them.

Joanne went downstairs and saw Aunt Nyla sitting on the sofa in the living room, when she came downstairs, Aunt Nyla stood up somewhat hastily and greeted her, "Mrs. Lambert."

Joanne was calm on the surface, but in reality, she was so surprised that she was almost speechless.

The last time they met, Aunt Nyla had provoked her in various ways, and her attitude towards her was like two people compared to now.

So it seemed that she had guessed correctly that Aunt Nyla must have come to her for something.

"Sit down." Joanne didn't move, naturally sitting across from Aunt Nyla, and directly asked, "Do you have something to do?"

Aunt Nyla's eyes turned red for an instant like magic and said in a crying voice, "Mrs. Lambert, I've come to beg you."

Joanne was stunned for a moment, then smiled, "Ms. Zhang, it seems like there's nothing I can do to help you."

"No, there is, and you're the only one who can help me! Mrs. Lambert, my uncle's company is about to go bankrupt!" Aunt Nyla pounced over and clutched Joanne's hand, "This is all because of what happened last time. I looked for Mr. Lambert and wanted to apologize to Mr. Lambert, but Mr. Lambert wasn't willing to see me at all. Mrs. Lambert, can you help me plead with Mr. Lambert, please beg Mr. Lambert to let my uncle go."

After saying that, Aunt Nyla had already cried out, looking somewhat mournful and desolate.

Only then did Joanne notice that Aunt Nyla was wearing a black dress today, her face was unpowdered and veiled, which led to the originally fashionable and delicate one to become dull and shapeless.

It seems that Brian has not been soft on the He Xuan Group in the slightest.

Seeing Joanne's delayed lack of response, Aunt Nyla thought that it was because she hadn't persuaded Joanne, so she cried even harder and went on to say: ''Because of the company's matter, my grandfather has been hospitalized in a hurry. Mrs. Lambert, I know that I was wrong about the last time, and I promise that I will never appear in front of you again and won't cause you any trouble. I beg Mrs. Lambert to spare my uncle's company and my grandpa."

Joanne couldn't quite understand Aunt Nyla's last sentence.

She frowned a bit and reminded, "Ms. Zhang, I didn't do anything to you guys, I don't even know your grandfather, this is all your and your uncle's own doing, so you have to figure it out there's no such thing as me sparing your uncle's company or grandfather."

"..."

Aunt Nyla looked at Joanne with teary eyes, obviously not expecting Joanne to say this.

She opened her mouth to argue, but didn't know how to start.

Thinking carefully, what Joanne said actually made sense.

So who should she beg to spare the Wo Xuan Group and her grandfather?

Aunt Nyla turned to think of Brian, and like grabbing the last straw, she begged bitterly, "Mrs. Lambert, please help me talk to Mr. Lambert, and let me see him one last time, okay?"

Joanne shook her head lovingly, "It's useless for me to persuade anyone he doesn't want to see."

In fact, it was useful for her to talk some sense into it.

However, she could handle this kind of thing, so there was no need to trouble Brian.

Aunt Nyla fell into deep despair and finally couldn't hold herself together and bawled out, "Mrs. Lambert, I really know I'm wrong. I shouldn't have tried to sabotage the relationship between you and Mr. Lambert, and I shouldn't have used such despicable means to count on Mr. Lambert. Mrs. Lambert, I really know I'm wrong, can you help me talk to Mr. Lambert? I just want to apologize to him in person."

"...," Joanne said after a moment of silence, "you go back."

At this instant, Aunt Nyla felt as if her last straw had suddenly snapped.

She shook her head and clutched Joanne's hand tightly, "Mrs. Lambert, don't drive me away, please help me, I promise ... I ..."

By the end of her speech, Aunt Nyla was incoherent.

Joanne drew two tissues and handed them to Aunt Nyla,"I'll talk to Brian, but I don't guarantee he'll listen to me."

As things stood, Aunt Nyla had no room for bargaining.

What Joanne said, she could only do.

Moreover, with Joanne's promise to help, it was possible for Brian to spare He Xuan Group.

Aunt Nyla nodded gratefully and made a gesture to bow to Joanne, "Mrs. Lambert, thank you."

Joanne held Aunt Nyla, called for Simon, and said, "Simon, help me send Ms. Zhang away."

After Aunt Nyla left, Joanne turned around and went upstairs, directly into the study.

Brian was reading an investment document, when he saw Joanne come in, he asked without lifting his head, "Is it taken care of?"

"Well, Aunt Nyla is gone." Joanne paused, seeing that Brian had no reaction, she asked with some curiosity, "Aren't you going to ask me what Aunt Nyla is looking for me for?"

"I guessed." Brian said faintly, "She couldn't see me, so she had to come to the house to find you."

Joanne walked over and looked at Brian with a somewhat complicated expression, "Aunt Nyla said that her grandfather has been sick and hospitalized because of what happened with the He Xuan Group."

Brian closed the file and met Joanne's gaze without slowing down, "You've gone soft?"

"... "Joanne was noncommittal and said somewhat blankly, "I don't know if I'm soft or what, I just don't think ... there's a need to let an old man suffer after the person who did something wrong."

"..." Brian wrapped his hands around his chest and looked at Joanne with a good look, "How do you want me to handle this?"

"... "Joanne paused for a moment and said tentatively, "Anyway, both Aunt Nyla and her uncle have already suffered, or ... let's just forget about it?"

In fact, Joanne didn't have much confidence that she could talk Brian into changing his mind.

After all, she didn't know if this matter was related to Brian's strategic layout in the mall.

If the answer was yes, well, she wasn't going to bother with it.

However, there are always those few things in life that are unexpected the

Brian raised his eyebrows and said, "Okay, listen to you."

Joanne didn't expect Brian to agree so easily, and with a sigh of relief, the smile finally returned to her face.

Brian's expression became a bit helpless and said, "Joanne, you can occasionally not be so kind."

Joanne pursed her lips, walked over and hugged Brian, looked at him and said, "I just don't want an old man to be implicated by this."

"Good." Brian helplessly touched Joanne's head, "Listen to you."

Joanne laughed and kissed Brian in high spirits, "I'll go down to see Aiden and Romy!"

The two little ones were playing with the Akita dogs in the living room, and Joanne couldn't divert their attention even when she came downstairs.

Joanne thought about it, since the two little ones didn't need her, she simply went to prepare lunch, and by the way, she made congee for the two little ones.

When it was almost time for the noon meal, Brian Shan came downstairs and carried the two little ones to the dining room and made them sit on the baby stool.

The adult's meal is not ready yet, but the porridge of the two little ones has been put on the table, Aiden and Romy stared at the two bowls of porridge with blazing eyes, and Romy excitedly "babbled" and said something, obviously unable to hold back the desire to feast.

Brian took a small spoon and scooped a spoonful of congee, and Romy immediately cooperated by opening her mouth and looking blearily at Brian.

Brian made a gesture to feed the congee to Romy, however, when the spoon was about to reach Romy's mouth, he suddenly changed direction and ate the mouthful of congee himself.

Romy froze and closed her mouth, blinking her eyes, looking at Brian not knowing how to react.

The little girl was probably wondering if the man in front of her was a fake dad.

After a while, the little Romy finally reacted to something, aggrieved "wow", sat on the baby stool and waved her hand towards Brian, signaling that she wanted congee.

Brian scooped up another spoonful of porridge and repeated his trick to tease Romy, this time, he directly made the little girl cry-

"Whoa! Mommy!"

With this cry, Romy cried aggrieved and shocked, looking in the direction of the kitchen, as if waiting for Joanne to appear, so that he could complain to Joanne ...
