It was a tall and slender figure.

Once, this figure was indescribably beautiful and striking, so countless young men and women fell for her and screamed for her.

Once, this figure was praised by the media for being the best young actress in the entertainment circle, who was comparable to those veteran actors.

Once, this figure was only one step away from being a star in Hollywood.

Then she was exposed as a drug addict and sent to the drug rehabilitation center and her wholesome image was ruined.

Someone commented that Rosalyn was the kind of person who had a good hand but finally suffered a crushing defeat.

Joanne did not expect to see her here.

It seemed that Rosalyn had been staring at her for quite some time already. She pulled down the brim of her cap and looked at Joanne in the mirror from a distance.

Joanne followed Rosalyn's gaze and saw Rosalyn's figure and eyes reflected in the mirror.

Rosalyn's gaze was as cold and insidious as a poisonous snake as if she were a highly toxic and lissome animal lurking deep in the grass, waiting for an opportunity to bite the passers-by.

Joanne thought that she missed that elegant and confident person Rosalyn used to be.

In fact, she did not mind having a fair competition for Brian between the person Rosalyn used to be and herself.

Unfortunately, now Rosalyn was no longer worthy of Brian.

"Madam," a bodyguard came up and asked, "do you need someone to get rid of Rosalyn?"

"No." Joanne put the organic asparagus back. "It's not our supermarket. We can't stop others from shopping here. Just pretend not to see her."

"Ahem!" The bodyguard coughed heavily and reminded Joanne, "Madam, it is... our supermarket."

Joanne looked around in surprise. She really did not know that she had stepped into her own territory.

After a while, Joanne said, "Since it's our supermarket, we should not get her out. After all, we need to make money from selling her our goods!"

It seemed that Rosalyn was obviously here to spend money.

The company chose to set up the shopping mall here so as to make it convenient for the citizens. But most importantly, of course, the company wanted to make money from brands entering here and selling consumers goods.

In Joanne's view, Rosalyn was a customer and there was no difference between her and any other customers.

The bodyguard refrained from laughing and nodded. "Yes, Madam, we understand. Don't worry. We will protect you."

Joanne replied with a "hmm". Then, she picked up another bunch of asparagus and placed them into the shopping cart.

In the mirror, Rosalyn saw Joanne's every move clearly.

She recognized that the person who had talked with Joanne just now was Brian's most trusted bodyguard.

Once, these bodyguards were only responsible for protecting Brian. When she was about to hold a fan meeting, she playfully wanted to borrow them from Brian, but he did not agree.

But now, Brian sent them to protect Joanne.

It was true what the others had said; Brian valued Joanne more than his own life.

At this thought, Rosalyn was unwilling to accept it. She turned around and walked straight toward Joanne.

The bodyguard immediately figured out where Rosalyn was headed for. He stood in front of Joanne to stop Rosalyn, and asked sharply, "Rosalyn, what are you going to do?"

Rosalyn ignored him.

In her eyes, she was still the shining international superstar. An insignificant bodyguard, even if he was Brian's bodyguard, was not qualified to talk to her!

Rosalyn looked at Joanne and said sarcastically, "Joanne, when did you become a coward? I have nothing in my hands, but are you still afraid of me?"

"You have nothing in your hands, but what's on your mind?" Joanne looked into Rosalyn's eyes. "Miss Rosalyn, do you dare to say it?"

Joanne was sure that Rosalyn must be cursing her.

Rosalyn was slightly stunned.

She really did not expect that after such a long time, Joanne was still the same as before. She was on her guard and could immediately hit the mark with her words.

Since this was the case, she did not mind telling the truth.

"I'm thinking about the way you'll die." Rosalyn took another step closer to Joanne. "Joanne, do you think that I have fallen to the bottom and can't get up again? Let me tell you, I will make a fresh start, and I'll climb up to my original position, one step at a time. At that time, Joanne, I will let you die miserably!"

Joanne laughed, and her voice was filled with sarcasm and disdain.

Rosalyn was somewhat angry. "What are you laughing at?"

"I'm sorry, it's my fault. My laughter was too obvious." Joanne stopped laughing and explained seriously, "I'm just thinking, after you fell from such a high place last time, you must have suffered a comminuted fracture even if you are still alive. Are you sure you have already recovered?"

This time, not only the bodyguards but Wendy also laughed.

In Wendy's mind, Joanne's height suddenly rose up to 1.8 meters or higher.

The person who really had a sharp tongue was actually Joanne. Her biting words were not savagely but subtly devastating, and those words could hit a person's heart all at once and make them suffer a lot.

Since the birth of Aiden and Romy, Joanne had an aura of maternal love and tenderness. Wendy had almost forgotten that Joanne used to be a little lioness with high combat effectiveness and also defeated Rosalyn.

Now Rosalyn came to provoke her again. Wasn't she courting death?

Rosalyn's face was a myriad of colors, changing from red, then green, and then black. In the end, she had a cold and gloomy look on her face.

"What right did Joanne have to humiliate her like this?"

Rosalyn couldn't help shouting, "Joanne, without Brian, you are nothing!"

"Miss Rosalyn, I am afraid that you'll have egg on your face again," Joanne said slowly, sounding neither humble nor arrogant, "because even without Brian, I am still Joanne, and I am one of the best medical examiners in the municipal police station. If I am willing to be interviewed and show up in public, I am known to many people. If I continue to study, it will be very easy for me to be a guest professor at my alma mater and give lectures."

During Joanne's career, she had made great achievements. She could indeed easily realize what she said.

For her, marrying Brian was another way to shine.

Rosalyn's face turned green and then gray. In terms of Joanne's crime detection rate, it was an authoritative statistic calculated by the municipal police station, and she could not deny it.

Joanne continued, "Actually, without Brian, you're really nothing. Miss Rosalyn, when you were considered as Brian's rumored girlfriend, you were a female star with tens of millions of fans. After Brian married me, you broke the law and became a prisoner. Now, you have lost everything."

Wendy looked at Joanne with great admiration in her eyes.

"Damn, my cousin is so awesome. She can tell the truth and make a person angry in such an elegant and proper way."

Rosalyn was actually making things difficult for herself!

Rosalyn's experience of being forced to quit drugs was a taint in her life, and what she hated most was having this brought up by others.

However, Joanne just bluntly mentioned it in front of everyone.

"Who is she to mention it?"

Rosalyn raised her hand with a ferocious look.

Wendy took a deep breath and released her finger on the record button. With a whoosh, what she had just recorded was sent to a chat group.

However, she had no time to care about it and called out to Joanne, "Cousin, be careful!"

Joanne stood still and looked at Rosalyn calmly and coldly.

She knew that Rosalyn was really angry and wanted to hit her.

However, no matter how angry Rosalyn was, she was definitely not faster than Brian's bodyguards.

As expected, before Rosalyn's hand could fall on her, the bodyguards had already rushed to grab her hand and directly pushed her out.

The bodyguards were not gentle with her at all and they pushed Rosalyn so hard that she kept stepping backward. Finally, she bumped into the goods shelf and looked extremely embarrassed.

Wendy tutted. Her cousin-in-law's bodyguards were very principled, and they were very rude to such a beautiful woman.

She liked them!

Rosalyn struggled to steady herself and shouted, "Joanne!"

"Miss Rosalyn, I advise you to calm down." Joanne coldly reminded Rosalyn, "Although you have lost a lot of fans, there are still many people who know you. I promise you that if you try to escalate this matter, I'll definitely not be the one who will become a laughing stock."

Rosalyn looked around and found that many people were looking in their direction. Obviously, some people had recognized her and were talking about her while pointing at her.

Joanne was right. She was at a disadvantage. She would be the one who would lose face if this matter was reported by the media.

It would not be too late to get even with Joanne when she thoroughly got out of the mire!

Rosalyn snorted, pulled down the brim of her cap, and quickly left the mall with her head down.

The mall quietened down again.

Joanne continued shopping as if nothing had happened. Soon, the goods she had picked filled half of the shopping cart, most of which were fruits and vegetables, while the rest were Wendy's snacks.

Wendy said with a smile, "Cousin, I admire you very much."

Joanne touched Wendy's head and said, "Okay, let's go back."

After getting in the car, Joanne took out her mobile phone from the pocket of her coat.

When she was arguing with Rosalyn just now, she felt that her mobile phone had always been vibrating. She did not know who was sending her messages.

She opened it and noticed the messages from the chat group.

Some time back, Wendy was bored, so she created a chat group, which included Brian, Chris, and others.

A few minutes ago, Wendy had sent several voice messages in succession.

Joanne suddenly had a bad feeling and clicked on the voice messages. Sure enough, Wendy had recorded her conversation with Rosalyn.

"Damn, no wonder this little girl just stood there and did not say anything. It turned out that she was busy reporting the argument in real time!

"Brian must have received the news as well.

"What will he think?"

While Joanne was deep in thought, a message from Freya popped up on her phone.

Freya only sent one sentence,"Joanne, you are so awesome."

Since his wife had expressed her opinion, Chris naturally had to respond too, but his message was just a series of ellipses.

Wendy and Gavin had a heated discussion.

From beginning to end, only Brian remained silent.

Joanne couldn't help wondering if Brian was busy or was frightened by her.
