Chapter 243 The Mess

"I said good for him that he has a big sister who is ready to go to any length for him unlike people like me who don't," Amos replied sadly. His sad expression looked so real that anyone who saw him wouldn't know that he was pretending.

"You have over 50 employees working at the palace to attend to every one of your needs so what's there to feel jealous about…,"

"Indeed I have so many aides at my disposal but unfortunately they are not you. There is only one Joanna Anderson in this world," Amos interrupted meekly.

Normally Joanna's heart would have leapt up in joy listening to his compliments but at the moment her heart was too heavy to get excited.

"That is a fact," Joanna replied gloomily.

If this was before the incident that occurred earlier he could imagine her smiling and saying these words with pride.

But at the moment even the way she said those words sounded sad.

As they walk on the road Amos kept on talking with hopes of taking her mind off the sad incident that happened not long ago.

Meanwhile, as Amos was escorting Joanna to the hotel, at the apartment Audrey was seen jamming the door close with force.

She stormed into the sitting room without taking off her shoes from the door.

Arghh!

Audrey screamed with veins popping up on her forehead and neck.

As if screaming at the top of her lungs wasn't enough to relieve her anger the fuming lady took out her anger on the decorations.

She ripped about the flowers and portraits of Joanna and Kayden hanging on the wall.

Even the plates and cutleries laid on the well-decorated table of red and white were not spared from her wrath.

"How dare he says I am childish," Audrey bellowed. Picking the two wine glasses she threw them against the wall.

Smash! Smash!

The glass broke into several pieces.

Despite destroying all the beautiful set-up that was meant for Joanna and Amos' dinner date Audrey's anger was far from getting eased.

Just then the scene of Joanna covering her mouth while shaking her head surfaced in her head.

Her right hand lying on the white table clenched into a fist. There was so much rage in her eyes when the scene of Joanna jumping in to shield Amos from her attack replayed in her head.

"She lied to me," Audrey screamed in anger. Picking up the glass jar where the rose flowers were placed inside, she threw it towards the main entrance.

Thank goodness the person who entered the door saw the flying glass jar in time and dodged or else, she would have forever remained blind if the jar aiming for her eyes had struck her.

"What the hell was that!" The woman remarked, glancing behind her to see the damage the broken glass jar had inflicted on the door.

Walking into the sitting room the beautiful lady's mouth dropped ajar on seeing the current state of the room.

"What the hell happened here Audrey Lopez? Did an earthquake occur?" The woman asked with widened eyes.

Her eyes moved from one corner of the room to the other. In the entire room, the only side of the sitting room which remained untouched was the side the television was kept.

Apart from that, every part of the medium size sitting room was a mess. The centre table and couches were littered with flowers while the white tiled floor was messed up with ripped portraits, broken plates and glasses.

Mrs Lopez couldn't believe the state her daughter's room was in. For fear that she might have entered the wrong room, she looked around again to make sure this was her daughter's room.

The portraits of her and Joanna hanging on the wall confirmed that this was indeed the right room.

"Mum, what are you doing here?" Audrey asked absentmindedly, sauntering to the couch at the centre table.

She sat on the couch not caring that broken flower petals littered the entire couch.

"Forget about what I am doing here and tell me what happened here," said Mrs Lopez as she hurried to her daughter's side.

Instead of answering her mum's question, Audrey lowered her head.

"Audrey…," Mrs Lopez called softly but she refused to raise her head or utter a word.

"Audrey, you know I always tell you that keeping things to yourself isn't a very nice thing to do right?" Mrs Lopez asked. She lifted her hand and gave affectionate strokes to her ebony-like long hair.

"Keeping things to yourself won't only make you sick at the heart but it can also affect you mentally…," Mrs Lopez trailed to make sure that Audrey was following the point she was trying to make.

"You know you can always tell me anything, hmm," she said. Despite saying so much Audrey didn't act as though she was the one her mother was talking to.

Since Audrey refused to disclose anything to her Mrs Lopez looked around the messy room for anything that would give her an idea of why her beloved daughter was in this crappy mood.

After scrutinising the room for a while luckily she got a glimpse of Joanna's face from one of the ripped papers laid on the floor.

[Ooh… it's Joanna that is the cause. No wonder she is acting this way]

Mrs Lopez was relieved that at least she would be able to initiate a conversation with Audrey.

"Did you and Joanna get in a quarrel?" Mrs Lopez asked meekly. She waited for Audrey to speak but still, she remained quiet.

"Girls your age gets into a misunderstanding with friends so it's only normal…,"

"This was no misunderstanding mum. She lied to me and deceived me for a long time. This can never be considered a misunderstanding," Audrey said, jerking to her feet.

"What exactly did she lie about that is making you this mad huh?" Mrs Lopez asked curiously.

"She joined hands with him and deceived me. She didn't tell me that he is the…," Audrey paused at the last minute when she realised what she was about to do.
