Chapter 63.Â
Damn it!Â
This thing definitely had something to do with that bitch Jovana!Â
There was a vicious glint in Juliette’s eyes.Â
MenuÂ
In the ward.Â
Armando took Jovana’s hand and had her sit on the bed, then grabbed an ice pack and put it on her face.Â
“Vana, you were wronged.” A shadow flashed across his face, and his voice was really gentle when he talked to Jovana. He rubbed his chin affectionately on the top of her head, “I’ll make sure they all pay itÂ
back.”Â
“Today I didn’t protect you well.”Â
“Sorry, babe…”Â
Jovana was a bit distracted.Â
She really didn’t expect Armando to go that far.Â
He didn’t expect it at all, he didn’t ask her about what happened with Harland, wasn’t that what he caredÂ
about the most?Â
Jovana pulled up the corner of her mouth in self-mockery.Â
Okay, but that didn’t mean her heart, which he had hurt, accepted him again.Â
“Didn’t you doubt the person Juliette talked about?”Â
Jovana avoided his breath and said in a lukewarm way.Â
The man obviously paused, his expression changing…Â
A few seconds later.Â
He just smiled and rubbed the back of her soft head, saying, “I believe you.’Â
I believed you.Â
This sentence made Jovana freeze for a moment, and her mind was in turmoil.Â
Armando put away the ice pack and set it aside, “Hungry? I’ll have someone bring some more food over…”Â
As he spoke, he took out his phone and ordered food for Jovana.Â
Jovana pulled herself together and didn’t argue with her stomach, just said yeah.Â
While Armando went downstairs to get takeout, Jovana went to the nurse’s station and asked the nurseÂ
on duty for some cotton swabs to use for applying medicine later.Â
The inpatient ward was very quiet at night.Â

< Chapter 63Â
Walking down the hallway, just turned the corner, a familiar figure came into view…Â
Jovana froze for a moment and stopped walking.Â
“Ms. Atherton.”Â
It was Juliette.Â
Jovana put on a cold face and didn’t want to have anything to do with her, striding forward.Â
Juliette smiled and blocked her.Â
Staring at her fair and pretty face, Juliette couldn’t help thinking about her own injured face, and she hated it so much her teeth ached.Â
“Just saw me and my mom get told off by Armando, happy now?”Â
“Normal.” Jovana stopped and gave her a smile, “Just two bitches, isn’t it normal for you to embarrass yourselves?”Â
A teasing and sarcastic tone.Â
Juliette was so mad her temples were throbbing, she was furious.Â
Jovana reluctantly opened her hand and started walking forward.Â
MemiÂ
“You’re just proud for a second.” Juliette suddenly gave a quick smile, crossed her arms, and said with a laugh, “Armando was just saving your face in front of me and my mom! Otherwise, as his so-called wife, you wouldn’t even have that last bit of dignity left.”Â
This was exactly the point Jovana least wanted to look back on, least wanted to think about.Â
Although I didn’t care, having someone say it out loud, especially from Juliette, still got to me.Â
It was really embarrassing.Â
Jovana closed her eyes for a second and pinched her palm hard.Â
Juliette walked over gracefully, humming and laughing, “I forgot to ask last time, the bed in Armando’s office lounge is pretty comfy. I heard you spent a long time customizing it? Tsk, it really is nice.”Â
“Thanks for setting everything up, both Armando and I really enjoyed it.”Â
Juliette glanced at Jovana’s cold face and sneered, “Actually, that bed you ordered, Armando told you my requirements back then…”Â
“I really hadn’t seen anyone as dumb as you, and you even happily ran off to set things up…”Â
Boom!Â
Jovana looked like she’d been struck by lightning, and the bag of cotton swabs she was holding dropped toÂ
the floor with a smaXX.Â
Ah…Â
She went to all that trouble, carefully designed the bed for him, and in the hot summer, bought bedding for him under the blazing sun just like he wanted.Â
And now, all of this was actually something he brought up to her according to Juliette’s preferences?Â

Jovana gave a bitter smile, and as she kept smiling, her eyes turned red… The more she thought about it, the more she felt like a clown.Â
How ironic.Â
Seeing her looking so hurt and lost, Juliette finally felt a lot better.Â
But how was that enough?Â
“Ms. Atherton, don’t be sad. I should really thank you.”Â
Juliette blinked, looking really innocent.Â
What was said was like a knife, stabbing into Jovana’s heart.Â
