Seeming to have thought of something, Joy said with a mocking smile, “Besides, don’t you have a lot of women out there right now? I heard that you’ve even kept one of them for two or three years. To her, you seem to be quite devoted!”
Andrew’s expression changed slightly as his gaze suddenly locked on her face. “How did you know that?!”
Even the Goodwin family knew nothing about his mistresses.
How could Joy Linetti have found out about them?!
“Hey, we’re not even married yet. But you’re already questioning me, your fiancée, because of some random woman you’ve been hiding?”
Joy raised a thin eyebrow as she asked this, her tone full of mockery.
The corner of Andrew’s mouth twitched slightly.
It seemed that Joy had come prepared!
Though she looked calm on the surface, Joy must have already investigated him before coming here. Otherwise, how could she have hit the nail on the head?
He said coldly, “She’s just an irrelevant woman. Once we really get married, I’ll definitely cut off all ties with her. I’ll only be loyal to my wife!”
“Haha! You can stop with the jokes
Joy cut him off sarcastically. “Once this marriage is settled, it will be official in name only! Even if you stuck yourself to me, I wouldn’t care to respond to you! After all, no one can force me to sleep with a man I don’t even like and maybe even hate a little now.”
Her blunt and harsh words were practically thrown out without any consideration.
Provoked by her words, Andrew became so angry that he almost reacted violently.
However, he suppressed the shame and anger in his heart and said slowly, “I heard that you’ve been studying overseas and only came back to the country recently, Ms. Linetti. It seems that your perspective on life has been influenced by your time abroad and has become more liberal. This is the first time I’ve heard something so shocking”
“If you can’t stand it, just say it. Why beat around the bush?”
Joy sneered disdainfully and continued, “To put it bluntly, the marriage alliance between the Goodwin and Linetti families can go on. I can even marry you. Besides, I’m only giving you the title of my husband. It doesn’t matter who has it. If you want it, I can give it to you! But don’t even dream about getting anything other than that titlel
Andrew glared at her and slowly clenched his fists, his knuckles cracking as he did.
Damn this Joy Linetti!‘ he thought.
It was only the first time they were meeting, but she was already making him swallow down such humiliation!
“What? Is this condition too hard to accept?”
Once again, Joy raised her eyebrows. As if she was deliberately trying to irritate him, her tone became increasingly harsh.
“Andrew Goodwin, you’d better remember that I’m only marrying you because our families want this marriage. It doesn’t mean that I’m going to sleep with you! If you want to touch me, you’ll have to see if I’m happy about or not, if I’m willing or not! The most important thing is…
She looked him up and down casually before parting her red lips and spitting out contemptuously. “Whether you deserve it or

No man could bear such humiliation. Finally, Andrew became completely enraged. He stood up and pointed at Joy, accusing

her angrily, “How dare you say that! Do you think you’re so great? You may seem well–educated on the surface, but I didn’t expect you to be such a hussy in secret!”
“So what?”

Joy leaned lazily back against the couch. She smiled playfully and looked at him without fear. “Do you want to marry not? I’m not forcing you to marry me here!”
“You!” Content bel0ngs to Nôvel(D)r/a/ma.Org.
Andrew was so infuriated that the vein at his temple was throbbing.
“I’m only giving you a warning before anything else happens! If you’re willing, we can get engaged. If you can’t accept it, then you can leave!”
Joy then said casually, “Besides, whether I’m married or not, I can get any man I want. No one can stop me from doing that.”
Joy Linetti, who do you think you are? Do you think I have to marry you? Don’t be so arrogant!” Andrew mocked without holding back.
“I’m the beloved daughter of the Linetti family, the daughter of an elite family. Even the Goodwin family has to shamelessly come and ask for my hand. Even if I’m arrogant, what can you do about it?”
Joy curled her lips in disdain as she casually fished out a cigarette case and took out a cigarette. Her every move was filled with unbridled haughtiness.
She took out a lighter and deftly lit the cigarette. Gracefully, she took a drag and exhaled slowly. Then, her red lips curled into a charming smile. It seemed as if she was deliberately provoking him.
“If the man who came and sat before me this time was the heir of the Franco family, I naturally wouldn’t dare to go overboard. Maybe I would even take the initiative to suck up to him! But who are you? Except for the fact that you’re older, you can’t compare with your cousin in any way! In terms of capabilities, you can’t match him. In terms of schemes, you can’t compete with him. Even your face is nothing compared to that of Charlie Franco’s. What’s so great about you?
“Who do you think you are, Andrew? You told me not to be arrogant, but what about you? You’re really good at flattering yourself. You’re messing around with other women, but you dare to put on an act in front of me? Don’t you feel disgusted?!”
There was a silent explosion in Andrew’s head.
Joy’s words had caused Andrew to lose it.
Comparing him to Charlie was probably the greatest humiliation to him!
There had been a marriage alliance between the Franco and Goodwin families too. His mother, Regina Franco, was Charlie’s aunt. Consequently, it was not wrong for Joy to call him Charlie’s cousin.
Before Charlie was born, the Franco family had not had a third–generation male heir even after a long time.
Although Andrew was not a Franco, he had a pretty high status in the Franco family due to his mother’s favor. Back then, Raphael and Ayesha hadn’t had any grandchildren. As such, they treated him as their heir despite his last name.
However, everything changed completely after Charlie was born.
Charlie was the true eldest grandson of the Franco family.
Naturally, his status far outranked that of Andrew, since he was a grandson born to another family.
Charlie had their last name, while Andrew had someone else’s. How could their statuses be the same?
It just so happened that they were born in quick succession and were similar in age.
Therefore, when Andrew was young, he was always compared with Charlie.
As a child, Andrew had always admired and revered his younger cousin Charlie. That was because Charlie was simply too smart, too excellent, too serious, and too hard–working
He had been a child, after all. So, it was inevitable for him to admire someone so capable. And because he had seen the way
