Chapter 195 Grand Finale

The wedding of Joanna and Angelo was broadcast live.

The entire internet was obsessed with their relationship, calling them incredibly sweet.

When people found out that Angelo had won his wife from her ex-husband, netizens got even more excited.

Many people sent blessings and gifts to the newlyweds.

On that same day, all companies under Smith Group gave out generous benefits to their employees.

It was a simple and direct way of telling the whole world: Our boss just got married!

Besides those who blessed Joanna, there were naturally people who were jealous of her.

Like Cynthia, whose mental state had become somewhat unstable.

Her hatred for Joanna was carved into her bones. Even when she saw strangers watching videos of Joanna and Angelo's wedding on the street, she would suddenly lose it and knock their phones out of their hands.

"Who are you? Are you crazy!"

The passerby was angry and wanted Cynthia to pay for damages.

But Cynthia's words and behavior made her look too much like a lunatic.

So after cursing a few times, the passerby could only leave, accepting their bad luck.

Cynthia spent every day hanging around Grace General Hospital and outside Joanna's apartment building.

She was waiting for an opportunity.

On the third day after the wedding, Joanna returned to her apartment to pack her things, planning to move in with Angelo.

She had arranged for a moving company. Just as her stuff was being loaded onto the truck, she saw a car speeding out of control toward her.

If Joanna hadn't been quick enough to dodge under the moving truck's cargo bed, she would have been crushed flat.

When it got really close, Joanna clearly saw Cynthia's twisted expression.

After recovering from her fear and trembling, she decisively called the police.

This time, the police took the case very seriously.

They detained Cynthia directly on charges of attempted murder.

Even though Mireille and Chase presented proof of Cynthia's mental instability and depression, they couldn't get her released on bail.

After calling the police, Joanna never paid attention to Cynthia's situation again.

She had long stopped caring about Cynthia and Chris.

If these two people didn't keep jumping around in front of her, Joanna wouldn't even think about them.

And now, she naturally had more important goals to accomplish!

Besides completing her work at Grace General Hospital every day, Joanna also had to find time to finish the design drawings for Teacher Linda.

In her remaining time, she also had to stay in the lab to complete her new drug research.

Six months after the wedding, to focus on researching the new drug, Joanna even moved to Valeria temporarily.

If Angelo hadn't flown over to find her full of complaints, Joanna would probably have kept busy with her drug research until she won the award.

Although Angelo was happy to see Joanna working hard, that didn't mean he liked being ignored by her.

So, when Joanna frequently skipped meals and sleep for her research at such a high intensity, Angelo exploded.

He directly shut off Joanna's computer, carried her to bed, and made love to her hard for three days straight.

Angelo was venting his dissatisfaction.

Joanna was somewhat helpless: "Angelo, I promised my teacher."

She took the initiative to kiss Angelo, "Be good, after I win the award, I'll make it up to you properly, okay?"

When his dear wife said this, how could Angelo not agree?

So, after this brief explosion, Joanna threw herself back into her research.

She spent every day in the lab with Luke, and the final results truly lived up to their efforts.

The new drug could be used in the treatment of brain cancer and short-term regulation of brain cell nerve death.

Using this technology, Joanna and Dr. Bruce together completed Sandra's final surgery.

After the surgery, Sandra rested for a week and immediately did a follow-up examination.

Her condition was now eighty percent under control.

As long as she wasn't provoked, it would never flare up again.

Joanna was very happy for her mother.

After the practical research on the new drug was published, it quickly received an award nomination.

This time, Joanna stood on the podium that truly belonged to her and her team.

While waiting for the host to control the proceedings, Joanna actually really wanted to run away with the trophy.

She wanted to share the news of winning the award with Mr. Suss first.

But she could only wait patiently for the ceremony to end.

After the award was finally presented, countless media outlets following this award swarmed over.

"Ms. Jones, now that you've won this award, is there anyone special you'd like to thank?"

Joanna mentioned many people—Luke, Victor, Mr. Suss...

Each person was special to her.

The reporters were clearly not satisfied with this answer and kept pressing: "We've heard that besides your achievements in medicine, Ms. Jones is also the rising designer Y in the design world. How do you balance these two professional identities? Did you deliberately hide your identity back then to achieve the effect of slapping your ex-husband in the face?"

Joanna maintained basic politeness and answered: "I think career and hobbies don't conflict. I haven't neglected either identity. I didn't mean to hide anything back then. If my ex-husband had cared enough about me, how could he have never known about my identity and hobbies?"

There's no such thing as information that can be completely hidden in this world.

It was simply that Chris didn't care about her.

"We all know that both Dr. J and Y retired for three years. We heard Ms. Jones became a full-time housewife. What was the turning point that made you end your life as a full-time housewife and pick up your career again? Can Ms. Jones share your thoughts on this?"

When the reporter asked this question, Joanna had actually already thought of her answer.

She smiled lightly and said: "Because someone told me that we never lack the courage to start over. If we fail the first time, it's okay. Stand up and try a second time, and I'll definitely get what I wish for."

The reporters wanted to continue asking more questions, but Joanna saw the person she wanted to see.

She waved at Angelo.

Then she said calmly to the reporters: "Sorry, today's work is over. My husband is here to take me home."

The rest of her time, she wanted to enjoy her romance with Angelo.

Angelo moved against the crowd, reaching out his hand to his wife, inviting her to go home.

And Joanna simply pushed past the reporters surrounding her, lifted her skirt, and rushed toward her happy ending.

Wake Up, Take Revenge

Here's what it's about:

Five years in a coma.

She woke up to her own son feeding her poisoned cake — with a smile.

Her husband watched her bleed… then carried his mistress home in his arms.

They called her desperate. Pathetic. A woman who'd do anything for love.

They were right. Once.

But the woman walking out of that hospital isn't the same one they put in.

She has a secret that will bring the untouchable Richard to his knees.

He refused to sign the divorce papers. Fine.

She'll make him beg to set her free.
