Why was Joanna in the passenger seat? Was Michael driving? What was he trying to say to me by bringing Joanna here? To reject me outright and tell me Joanna was the right person for him!
The fake grim expression on my face froze, and I felt half angry, half frozen. The smile on Joanna’s face was as bright as victor’s smile. My hands were clenched into fists on either side of my body.
If… Michael had come out from the other side; I would have punched Joanna in the face. I would have fought her a long time ago.
But when the other door opened, Sasha came out. Joanna came out from the other side. I looked askance at her, wondering what she was doing here.
Joanna looked up at our house. The smile on her face became even wider.
“Is this your house, Cecily? It was tough to find this place. It wasn’t easy for us to drive here.”
She sounded very friendly, but I didn’t miss the contempt in her eyes.
Joanna looked up and down again and said, “Is this the only house? It’s beautiful.”

I could tell she was implying that our house was small and remote. The anger in my heart was burning again. I wanted to say a few words to refute her, but Sasha had already walked up to me and hugged me.
“Why did you leave so suddenly? I heard that you had disappeared the moment I woke up this morning. Michael’s expression was terrible too. Did you two quarrel again?” Sasha asked with a frown.
“No, I just wanted to come back and visit my parents.” I didn’t want to talk about Michael and me in front of Joanna.
“Oh, Cecily.” Sasha looked at me with disapproval and muttered, “Every time you get angry, you go back to your parents’ house. It was the same last time. This is not a good way to solve the problem.”
“I just want to come back and visit. I should be back in two days,” I insisted.
Sasha was a good person, but she always spoke too directly and did not care about other people’s feelings. However, I could understand her. She did not need to look at anyone’s expression, so she could say whatever she wanted; she lived far more freely than I did.
“Alright, Michael said the same thing. He said that you only came to visit your parents, but I was worried about you, so I came to visit you uninvited. Joanna was also very concerned about you, so she came along,” Sasha explained.
I could still believe that Sasha had come to visit me because she was concerned about me. But Joanna came to see me as an amusement. I bet she couldn’t wait to see me looking haggard because of Michael. She was a vicious snake. She was ready to give a fatal blow at any time.
“Well, are you going out?” Sasha noticed my outfit and asked.
“Yes, I want to go back to school. I still have some things in the dormitory,” I said.
I didn’t plan to tell Sasha and Joanna about Kate. With Joanna here, I was worried about everything. I had to be on guard against her everywhere. Her tricks were far better than mine. She might use it to do something if she knew too much about me.
“Then, we’ll drive you there,” Joanna said, seemingly considerate. “This place should be quite far from your school. I don’t think your family has a car. It’s not convenient for you to go there either.”
“My parents have our car,” I growled.
Every word Joanna said seemed to imply that my family’s financial situation was terrible. I didn’t have as much wealth as Michael, but we had always lived well. From Joanna’s mouth, our family seemed so poor that we needed help.
“Yeah, so it’s just right for you to come with us,” Joanna said innocently.
I looked at her hatefully. This b*tch!
“That’s right. Come with us. I happen to be going to school too. And Cecily, I’m not familiar with the roads around your house. You can show me the way,” Sasha said.
I looked at the time. I couldn’t delay any longer. I didn’t know if Kate had any plans to go out today. I had to find her before then.
“Alright, thank you very much,” I said to Sasha.
Sasha was the driver. I sat in the back seat and looked at the scenery outside the window. I didn’t want to say anything unless it was necessary. But Joanna wouldn’t let me off. She would always start unpleasant topics for me.
“Cecily, you don’t know what you missed when you weren’t there yesterday,” Joanna said with a smile.
“Well, you can tell me what happened.” I forced a smile.
“Michael keeps losing his temper. He’s always like this when you’re not there,” Sasha added.
