Chapter 281 I Want To Be Your Wifey
Yorick begged, “Please, Jojo. Please let me off. I beg you-”
But as soon as he realized Johanna had no intention of letting him go, he grimaced and started raising
his voice. “What nonsense is this? How dare you do this to your father! I brought you to this world!
Without me, you’re nothing!”
“So what if I’d sold you to the club? That’s where you can make quick bucks within a short time. You’re
my daughter, so it’s your duty to bring me money while you’re still young. No one would pay money to
spend time with you ten years from now when you’re old and haggard like your mom!” he continued
throwing a fit as if he had gone bonkers.
Steven, who was merely a young man in his thirties, was dumbfounded by the vicious remarks a father
made about his daughter.
Johanna blanched at his words at first but pulled herself together. She aimed at two of Yorick’s fingers on
his right hand and chopped them with the chopper.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtBlood splattered all over Johanna’s face.
“Ah!” Yorick bellowed in pain, and his body twitched.
“You’re no longer my father since the day you sold me to the nightclub. You hear me?” Johanna then
stuck the chopper between Yorick’s remaining fingers, causing the man to shudder in fear.
“If you dare do this to me again, I’ll send you to hell with my own hands!” Johanna threatened.
She got up, wiped the blood off her face, and said to Steven, “Release him, Steven. Let’s go.”
Genevieve went up and wrapped her arm around Johanna’s shoulder before giving her two pieces of
tissues.
After wiping the bloodstain off her fingers, Johanna asked Genevieve, “Are you shocked to see what I did
to my father? Do you now think of me as a cruel person?”
“Yeah, a little,” Genevieve said what was on her mind. “Just yesterday, you were crying-”
Genevieve did not expect Johanna to be so ruthless.
“I had no choice, Genev. Do you know people who gamble compulsively are worse than drug addicts?
They would do anything to get their hands on money. Anything.” Johanna’s voice turned hoarse.
“When I was studying abroad, I’d seen all the crazy things gamblers did-” Johanna did not explain
further. Perhaps, she had had a traumatizing experience dealing with them.
“I will be the one who suffers if I were to let him off. Just look at what my father did to me. He actually
sold me to a nightclub. Can you believe it?”
Upon hearing that, Genevieve could somehow relate to Johanna’s experience.
But back then, she was not as far-sighted as Johanna because she was so hopelessly engrossed in a
relationship.
Grandma would have survived the ordeal had I been more aware of the situation.
Because of that, Genevieve sympathized with Johanna and liked her even more. She gently rubbed
Johanna’s shoulder and said, “Let’s go and get lunch. We’ll head back to Jadeborough tonight.”
“All right!” Johanna’s eyes lit up right away.
Yet, the smile on her face disappeared seconds later. “But my passport is still with the club-”
Genevieve grinned. “I’ll get Steven to retrieve it for you since I’ve redeemed you, so don’t worry. But if the
club refuses to return the passport, we’ll apply for a new one. We’ll need to stay in Xedells for a couple

“You’re the best, Genev!” Johanna hugged her and rubbed her head against Genevieve’s body. “You’re
my savior!”
“I want to be your wifey!”
“Thanks, but no thanks.” Genevieve declined her offer and shoved the back of Johanna’s head.
But that did not deter the bubbly girl from inching closer.
Xedells was a prosperous free economic zone and the world’s third largest central business district. One
could easily find a variety of foods and entertainment in that bustling metropolis.
After lunch at a restaurant, Steven went to Ambrosia to retrieve Johanna’s passport.
In the meantime, Genevieve and Johanna went to a shopping mall together.
During the heyday of the Rachford family, Genevieve was a social butterfly who had friends all over the
country, and her friend list on WhatsApp was endless. But most friends turned their backs on her after
the Rachford family crumbled.
Even her schoolmates distanced themselves from her.
Though she could afford anything under the sun after marrying Armand, she did not have any friends to
talk to whenever she was on a shopping spree.
Having Johanna around today brightened Genevieve’s day.
