You've letgo this time, but I'll never let you go." Joanna rushed home, frantic. She'd heard Charlee was there. Tears streaming down her face, she burst through the door, calling out for Charlee.
Joanna cried out, "Mom! Ethan's been seduced by shussy! He wants a divorce! She cto tauntand then lockedup all night. I thought I'd never see you again!" Joanna was the Martel family's precious only daughter. Despite her strict upbringing, she was still the apple of everyone's eye. She'd never been treated so poorly in her life.

Her poor husband." "Is she nuts? Accusing her husband of cheating. Honestly, I feel bad for the guy." "Con, he's not perfect either. He doesn't exactly make her feel secure."
The comments were a mixed bag. Speople were tearing Joanna apart, others defending her. It wasn't exactly a full-blown scandal, but it was definitely causing a stir.
Joanna, however, was not one to take criticism lightly. She had an ego and considered herself above the common folk a breed apart. Now, being the subject of gossip and speculation among so many people? It was unacceptable. Absolutely unacceptable.
"That bitch!" Joanna snarled, hurling the phone to the floor, completely ignoring Charlee's furious expression. Charlee's disappointment was palpable. "Someone has toldthe truth today. I have learned what you have done. Joanna, I want you to tellwhat happened. Why did you do this?" Joanna felt a pang of guilt but quickly regained her composure. “Mom, I'm your only daughter.
