Just as Joanne was worrying about it, Brian appeared beside her without any warning. She was shocked and asked, "What are you doing here?"

Brian's handsome brows frowned slightly and he asked, "Should I not be here?"

Joanne pointed at the entrance and replied. "I heard your girlfriend is coming soon, aren't you going to meet her secretly?"

Brian narrowed his eyes and suddenly flicked his finger on Joanne's forehead.

"Ouch-" Joanne held her forehead and looked at Brian incredulously. "That hurt!"

"That's right." Brian said nonchalantly. "Come with me."

Joanne pouted and held Brian's hand unwillingly.

Just then, Ava walked toward Joanne. She scanned Joanne from head to toe with a proud and picky gaze. Then, she said, "Brian, is this your wife? I heard Auntie Iris say that she's a medical examiner?"

Ava looked at Joanne proudly. "Ah, Brian is the CEO of Lambert Group. You're a medical examiner, don't you think you're not worthy of him?"

It was obvious that no one knew that the second young lady of the Scott Family who rarely appeared at society events, was a medical examiner. The conversations suddenly switched directions.

"Joanne is a medical examiner! Isn't she the young lady of the Scott Family? And she has such a capable brother that's Chris. Why did she become a medical examiner?"

"But, a woman who dares to become a medical examiner... is so cool!"

"But a medical examiner... is indeed not worthy of Brian. Look at her disposition, I thought she was in the art industry..."

...

Joanne sighed silently. Ava was indeed very capable.

If Rosalyn was coming today as well, then she and Rosalyn had to fight no matter above or below ground. But Rosalyn had not yet appeared, and she had already been pushed to the edge by Ava.

Ava was waiting for her to flee in distress so that Brian could return to Rosalyn, right?

Then watch out!

Joanne ignored Ava. She turned and held Brian's arm and leaned against him intimately. She said, in a rather indignant tone, "Hubby, so you mind very much that I am a medical examiner?"

Brian narrowed his eyes at Joanne.

Shouldn't she counterattack after being attacked by Ava? Why was she bothering him? He did not believe that Joanne cared how he viewed her job.

Brian was hesitating?

Joanne suddenly smiled. She stood on her toes and whispered in Brian's ears.

To others, it looked like Joanne was whispering sweet nothings to Brian. But only Brian knew that Joanne was threatening him!

"If you don't help me, I'll tell auntie that you let Rosalyn's friend bully me! We'll see how auntie will take care of you!"

If she defended her own profession against Ava, it would not be pretty even if she won. But if Brian spoke up for her then, they would win with minimal effort and it would be even more powerful.

A dangerous glint appeared in Brian's eyes. Joanne smiled brilliantly and harmlessly. Those not in the know would not be able to imagine that the little girl was threatening him earlier.

He squeezed Joanne's waist tightly, and looked at her lovingly. "Why would I mind your job? All is good as long as you're happy."

"Really?" Joanne's lively eyes were filled with surprise. She "couldn't help but" tiptoe and kissed Brian's cheek. "Hubby, you're great."

Brian's body felt as if he had been electrified. He stiffed for a second.

Her lips were as soft as jelly and her breath was warm. She smelt like camellias... That soft kiss almost caused him to break down.

Luckily, Brian was very experienced and he quickly came back to his senses. He smiled at Joanne dotingly, and Joanne's smile grew more blissful.

Joanne had ignored Ava's provocation and contempt for her through it all. Brian's statement also showed that he did not care about Joanne's job. It instantly made Ava's nitpicking and contempt extremely redundant and stupid.

Even her husband did not care, what was she making a fuss about?

Ava had come down menacingly, wanting to embarrass Joanne. She had not expected that she would be the one embarrassed, and her expression instantly grew awkward.

But Joanne did not intend to let her off so easily.

Joanne looked at Ava with an expression that looked as if she had just been roused from a state of bliss. She said, "Oh right, Miss Ava, what did you say?"

Ava glared at Joanne. She gritted her teeth and said, "Joanne, what are you trying to do!"

Joanne smiled and said, "Why don't you ask yourself?" It meant that Ava did not have the right to talk about her matters.

"You..." Ava was so angry she could not say a single word.

Just then, there was another bustle of activity. From what the crowds were talking about, Rosalyn was finally here.

Rosalyn could be described as dressing to the nines. She wore a red bandage dress, showing off her curvaceous figure. Her curled hair was carefully styled and her makeup was flawless. She was so beautiful, kings would wage wars for her.

She was just like her on the screen. She was elegant and confident. She shone brightly, and no one could resist her.

Joanne thought tiredly, that this was really troublesome. She had only just gotten rid of a Ava, and another high-level monster appeared. Was she really trying to level up?
