But Joanna, have you ever thought about why Ashton Heath would take such a huge risk to protect you from the sulfuric acid? There are some things I don't want to spell out clearly, but if I don't, I'm afraid someone might try to take my wife away."
Joanna Lawrence: "Ashton Heath..."
"Joanna, that guy likes you, and his feelings for you run deep. That's why he took such a big risk to block that acid for you. You also said that his sacrifice was huge. He must have considered the consequences, but he still chose to protect you."
"Would he do that just for a normal friendship?"
"In front of human nature, everything is transparent. No one else would do that."
"A person's appearance is of utmost importance, especially for people in your circle who rely on their looks for a living."
Having heard those words, Joanna Lawrence kept silent.
She knew that Maddox Allenson's feelings for her were no ordinary friendship.
