Chapter 427 A Perfect Match +5 Pearls
So, did she like Dylan but not Janice because Janice had hindered her plans to stray when they were children? Each time she wanted to slip away, was it because of Janice's intervention that she felt that her freedom was being stripped away and her life was being
restrained?
It wasn't entirely that. She had taken Dylan to the orphanage, likely because she wanted a son to carry on her legacy and thought highly of Cecilia. Given that Dylan was to inherit the family business and ensure their future wealth, she didn't detest the idea of having a son. She had already decided to love Cecilia as her own daughter, and thus didn't want to extend the same affection to Janice, fearing it would feel like a betrayal of her own love.
She's seriously ill isn't she? She'd rather be kind to someone else's child than her own.
What's even more amusing is that Dylan has been simply manipulated by Cecilia. He is completely oblivious to the fact that his mother has an affair and has even brought him a half-sibling from a different father.
Tsk, tsk. tsk, all this drama is really taking a toll on me. No, I must find a way to let Alexander know how to expose their true colors!
After Janice entered, Joanna surprisingly gave her a slightly stiff but polite expression rather than losing her temper on the spot. She even beckoned her to come and sit close by.
The guests around were moving about in every direction, their glasses clinking in a lively exchange as they engaged in friendly socialization.
Quite a few people gathered around Alexander.
In order to closely observe the situation, and to ensure that Joanna didn't take advantage of Janice, Isabella decisively left Alexander's side and quickly moved to sit near Janice.
Carlos, Christopher, and Rosalie weren't particularly inclined toward socializing in the crowd, so they followed suit without much hesitation.
Joanna, who originally wanted to take the opportunity of Eric's absence to casually reprimand her daughter, truly found herself at a loss for words.
"I heard you broke up with Mr. Cody of the Simmons family." Joanna skillfully broached a suitable topic.
Janice had already grown unaccustomed to interacting with Joanna, and could only respond honestly, "Mom, you've probably seen the news by now. He's actually with Cecilia, so we've broken up."
Joanna slightly furrowed her brows and said, "Enough, it's not entirely your fault for not having sensibility. Indeed, Cecilia is a better match for Cody than you are. Don't hold any grudges against her because of this, Try to get along well in the future." Janice didn't react, because as compared to what Joanna usually said to her, this was considered quite polite
However, upon hearing this, everyone else who had never experienced a severe beating was completely dumbfounded.
They had just realized that due to their presence, Joana had been holding back a lot of things she wanted to say, thinking it would keep the peace. However, as soon as she opened her mouth, everything came pouring out.

It's clear that it wasn't intentional. It was just her habit! Is she even aware of her harsh treatment toward Janice? She has said so much already, I dare not imagine what kind of life Janice led under this woman's care. No wonder Janice has no reaction to such insulting words. She has become immune to it!
Christopher and Rosalie thought to themselves: We're not immune to it though. This is outrageous.
aid casually, "Aunt
Carlos didn't hear Isabella's inner thoughts, but he felt the same as her. Being older, he Joanna, isn't it inappropriate to say that? How is that person more suitable than Janice? Your daughter is the victim here.
Joanna furrowed her brows, truly finding this group of people quite bothersome. When did outsiders start to butt in every time she wanted to have a conversation with her own daughter?
Just as she was about to retort, she suddenly heard Isabella speak.
"Carlos, why would you say that? Cecilia and Cody really do make a great couple. Janice just doesn't match up.
Unaccustomed to Isabella's schemes, both Carlos and Janice were taken aback. However, instinctively, they felt there was more to come. If anyone else had spoken those words, Janice would probably have been upset. But since it was Isabella who said them, Janice immediately wanted to listen carefully to her explanation.
To her surprise, Joanna found herself thinking that there was at least one reasonable person among them who knew how to read the room before speaking. Just as she was about to voice her agreement, she heard Isabella laugh as she say, "How can a normal person like Janice ever be a match for Cody? Cody and Cecilia are a match made in heaven. Bestards and b*tches are a perfect match!"
Upon hearing that, Joanna was so furious that she didn't know what to say.
She wanted to lose her temper, but the group of people just burst into laughter.
She wanted to argue, but several people were already giving Isabella a thumbs up, saying, "You're absolutely right!"
