"No, he raped me at first. Later, he threatened me that if I didn't sleep with him, he would kill my sister. As long as I listened to him, he would save my sister. I'm not lying, please believe me."
Joanna looked at the police and said with a painful expression.
Apparently, the police didn't believe what Joanna said at all. He sneered and said, "Do you have any evidence?"
Evidence?
Joanna was stunned. She clenched her fists hard, but she couldn't say a word.
"You don't have evidence to prove that you are the victim. We can suspect that you had a money deal."
Hearing it, Joanna was desperate. Just as she was about to refute, the door was opened. A policeman came in and said something to the policeman who interrogated Joanna. Then his expression changed slightly.
He got up and glanced at Joanna. Then he said with a cold expression, "Joanna, you can go out now."
What? Didn't they say that she had reported a fake case just now?
Joanna was taken out of the interrogation room in a daze. Then she saw Cedric who was standing in the middle of the hall and surrounded by bodyguards in black.
No matter when it was, Cedric had an imposing manner that no one could ignore.
Joanna's eyes were filled with tears. She covered her cheeks awkwardly. She felt terrible when she faced Cedric at the moment.
"Let's go." When Cedric saw Joanna, he felt relieved.
He glanced at Joanna and said coldly.
Joanna clenched her fists tightly. She lowered her head and followed behind Cedric dejectedly.
She didn't know where they were going and followed him willingly.
Outside the police station, there was a black car. The driver immediately opened the car door when he saw that Cedric came with Joanna.
Joanna clenched her fists tightly and glanced at Cedric. She didn't know if she should get on the car.
Seeing Joanna standing in front of the car with an uneasy face, Cedric lost his patience.
If Abigail hadn't clamored for Joanna to accompany her, Cedric wouldn't have saved Joanna.
"Get in the car, do you hear me?" Seeing Joanna standing there still, Cedric said coldly with his face darkened.
Joanna glanced at Cedric and got in his car fearfully.
The air in the car was cold, which made Joanna come back to sense.
With his face darkened, Cedric said coldly, "Abigail likes you very much. From now on, I will hire you to be a servant of the Xis. In the future, all you need to do is to accompany Abigail and protect her. What's more, if you dare play around with another man and affect Abigail, I'll teach you a lesson. Since you have become Abigail's exclusive maid, you don't have to work as a prostitute anymore."
Cedric asked her to stay with Abigail and become her maid, which meant that she could see Cedric everyday.
However, Cedric's words stimulated Joanna. That was the first time for her to be a prostitute, and then she was forced to have sex with the doctor. She was raped by those bodyguards because Cedric wanted to punish her.
But Joanna did not hate Cedric. She thought that she was so cowardly that the doctor threatened her.
"I...didn't work as a prostitute." Joanna clenched her fists and plucked up her courage. For the first time, she looked straight into Cedric's eyes.
In the past, Joanna did not dare look into Cedric's eyes. Cedric liked to have sex with her with a doggy style, because he didn't want to see her face.
Even if he used a missionary position, he didn't allow Joanna to say a word and look at him.
Hearing this, Cedric looked at Joanna with a sneer. His expression made Joanna's face even paler.
She was sad, and her eyes were lonely.
Yes, her body was so dirty. How could Cedric believe what she said? "Don't show this kind of expression in the future, it makes me very disgusted." Cedric's sharp and cold words made Joanna's heart even more painful.
She clenched her fists, bit her lip tightly and didn't say anything.
Cedric was noble and indifferent, but she had fallen in love with him humbly.
Was it her luck or misfortune?
In Provence.
"Ahem..." Ashley's body was getting worse and worse. Maybe it was because she was getting older and older, her body was weaker.
Because of Ashley's poor health, Edward spent most of his time with her. He stayed with Ashley every day.
"Do you still feel uncomfortable?" Edward reached out his hand, touched Ashley's eyebrows and said with concern.
"A little... " Ashley coughed and wiped the corner of her mouth with a piece of tissue.
Just as she was about to put down the tissue, she saw a little blood on it.
She was so scared that she immediately held the tissue in her hand tightly.
Noticing Ashley's strange movements, Edward frowned and asked, "What's wrong?"
