Chapter 15 A Bright Red
Lipstick Mark
At that moment, Joanna felt as if her heart had stopped.
She stared at the scene in front of her, unable to move. Owen’s chest rose and fell, steady with his breathing. On his white
shirt, there was a bright red lipstick mark–a mark she had just left.
“Are you going to cling to me all day?” The words hit her like a storm., Owen’s face was full of anger. His veins popped on
his forehead, and he looked ready to explode.
Joanna quickly snapped out of her daze.
She jumped to her feet, fumbling with her words. “I–I’m going to the restroom.”
Without another word, she rushed off, afraid that even one more second would set Owen off.
Turner scowled, clearly annoyed. How could Joanna be so clueless?
He forced a smile and turned to Owen. “Mr. Harvey, Joanna is still young. She doesn’t know better. Please don’t let her
actions bother you. I’ll make sure to deal with it, so it doesn’t happen again…”
As he spoke, he pulled a room card from his pocket and handed it to Owen.
Owen glanced at the card, his eyes narrowing, before he flashed a grin. “Come here, bring your face closer.”
Seeing Owen smile, Turner thought things were smoothing over. He leaned in quickly.
Without warning, Owen grabbed the card and slammed it into Turner’s face!
Turner stood frozen, completely stunned, unable to find his voice. Before he could react, Owen grabbed him by the collar
and delivered a hard punch.
The blow made Turner’s head spin. As Owen’s fist swung down again, Turner scrambled to speak. “Mr. Harvey! Mr. Harvey!
I don’t get it!”
Owen glared at him, his voice cold. “Do you even know who Joanna is?”
Turner only knew that Joanna came from a poor background. He figured that sending her to Owen’s bed wouldn’t cause any issues. But now, seeing Owen’s fury, something didn’t add up. Was Joanna someone important to him?
Before Turner could process his thoughts, Owen sneered, “She’s my son’s girlfriend!”
Turner’s eyes nearly popped out of his head. Joanna was Owen’s son’s girlfriend? No wonder Owen had gotten so upset
when he asked her to sit next to him. He had unknowingly tried to set up Owen’s future daughter–in–law with him!
Owen’s gaze turned sharp, almost lethal. “You’ve got guts, being the first to suggest I get involved with my future daughter
-in–law.*

Turner’s face drained of color. He dropped to his knees with a heavy thud, tears pouring down his face. “Mr. Harvey, I was wrong. Please, forgive me just this once. I’ll never do it again…”
Owen nodded towards the bottles of liquor on the table. “Finish all of these, and I might just let you off the hook this time.”
Turner stared at the unopened bottles of liquor on the table and collapsed to the floor in despair.
He wasn’t sure how much Joanna could drink, so he’d ordered far too much, hoping it would make her drunk.
He begged, “Mr. Harvey, if I drink all of this, I’ll die.”
Owen remained cold, offering no sympathy. “Drink it all, or leave Qakvale for good. It’s up to you.”
Turner had put everything into his business. If he left Qakvale, he would be ruined.
With a clenched jaw, he stood up, his hands trembling as he opened a bottle and started drinking.
The sight was truly unbearable.
Owen quickly lost his temper. He told the waiter to watch over things before storming out of the private room.
Once Joanna left, she didn’t even make it to a stall in the restroom. She was already leaning over a sink outside, throwing
- up.
“Ugh-” She emptied her stomach, feeling a little better once it was over.
She turned on the tap, splashing cold water on her face.
The water stung her eyes, and she reached for a napkin to dry off.
But instead of the napkin, her hand brushed against something warm–it was a man’s hand!
