Ingrid’s face darkened. Her eyes scanned Joanna up and down, and her face was filled with mockery.
“So they’re the ones who booked the aquarium? Is this what you meant when you said it was under
repair?” Joanna raised her eyebrows slightly and looked at the staff.
Irvin tugged at Joanna’s hand. “Mommy, can we go in now?
“Sir, others can enter, so why can’t we?
“My sister really wants to go in and take a look!”
“Well…” The staff member turned and looked toward Ingird inquiringly.
Ocean Park was not private property.
Booking the entire venue was prohibited. But it had been booked for a wedding photoshoot.
Only the Everett family was powerful enough to do so in Greyport. Roxanne had yet to marry into the
Everett family, but people already regarded her as Mrs. Everett.
“Can we enter now?” Joanna asked.
The staff ignored her.
He turned to look at Ingrid and Roxanne. “Mrs. Haynes, Miss Roxanne, are you done with your
wedding photoshoot?”
Ingrid glanced at Joanna and sneered. “Not yet! Just wait!”
Joanna was choked with anger.

solo photos.
“Outsiders are not allowed to enter the aquarium today!”
“Alright, alright. Take your time, Mrs. Haynes and Miss Roxanne!”
The staff turned to look at Joanna. “I’m sorry, but you can’t enter for now!”
“Mommy, what should we do?” Irvin’s face was filled with grievance and disappointment.
Davian stood there coolly and glared at Roxanne and Ingrid. “Mommy, why can they enter? Why can’t
we?”
“Mommy, why don’t we come back another day!” Lilia was timid and gently pulled on Joanna’s finger.
Joanna’s face darkened. “Alright, I’ll bring you over another day!
“Davian, Irvin, let’s go!”
Seeing Joanna was about to leave, Roxanne raised her eyebrows and smiled smugly. “Bruce and I are
getting engaged next month, Joanna.
“I won’t go through the trouble of especially informing you since I happened to bump into you today.
Here’s the invitation. Do bring your children to my engagement party with Bruce!”
As she spoke, Roxanne asked her assistant to get an invitation and handed it to Joanna.
Joanna sneered and did not reach out to take it. “No need! We’re not free!
“Davian, Irvin, let’s go!”
Ingrid curled her lips and snorted disdainfully. “Hmph, aren’t you ashamed coming out with that little
cripple of yours?”
The anger that Joanna had tried to suppress flared when she heard this.
“Who are you calling a cripple?”
Ingrid crossed her arms and looked at Joanna disdainfully. “Oh, did I say something wrong?
“A kid that age is still riding in a pram. What is she, if not a cripple?
“Haha, this is retribution. Even the heavens are punishing her for her
many
misdeeds!
“Oh, wait, the punishment fell on her child. That’s some well–deserved retribution!”
Davian and Irvin were instantly enraged when they heard this. Their tiny faces scrunched up in anger.
“Our sister is only sick, not crippled!”
Lilia pouted and lowered her head, sobbing when she heard this.
Sensitive and timid, she was already different from other children. It was a significant blow to her now
that others had called her a cripple.
Roxanne did not miss the opportunity to add insult to injury. She smiled and added, “Mom, don’t make
it sound so unpleasant!
“Medicine is so advanced now. Even if you’re crippled, you can still be cured!”
Ingrid snorted coldly and continued, “No matter how advanced medicine is, it can’t treat congenital
disabilities!”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm“Sigh, you’re right! Nowadays, pregnancy tests can detect everything. Why insist on giving birth if you
knew she would be crippled, Joanna?”
“Roxy, remember to do a pregnancy test when you and Mr. Everett have children! It would be such a
burden to give birth to a cripple!”
“Mom, you’re overthinking! Bruce has good genes. He won’t give me an unhealthy child!”
The mother and daughter kept repeating the word ‘crippled.‘
Joanna’s heart ached terribly hearing their conversation, and she clenched her fists tightly.
Davian’s eyes widened in anger. He pounced on Ingrid and pushed her hard. “You’re the cripple!
“My sister is just sick. She’s not a cripple!”
Ingrid was wearing high heels and stumbled when Davian pushed her. She nearly fell.
“Ouch! You damn child! You have no manners at all. Get lost!” Ingrid glared and raised her hand to slap
Davian.
Seeing this, Joanna suddenly reached out and grabbed Ingrid’s arm. Then, she pushed Ingrid hard.
“Don’t touch my child!”
“Heh, damn bitch, you’re indeed mother and son. You’re both lowlifes!
“Serves you right for giving birth to a cripple….”
Joanna’s eyes turned cold. She raised his hand and slapped Ingrid.
“Watch your mouth!”
Chapter 83
Stunned by the hard slap, Ingrid covered her face.
Joanna, how could you hit mom? She is your elder, after all!” Roxanne quickly went forward to check
on Ingrid.
Ingrid came back to her senses five seconds later. “How dare you hit me! I’ll fight you to the death!”
