FakeNovelChapter 346:
Lying in the sterile confines of the hospital bed, Joanna's eyes brimmed with tears, a mixture of anguish and
betrayal evident in their depths. “You know we don’t get along well with the Carter family, especially Kathy. She
doesn’t deserve you, not in the slightest.”
From the earliest days of their childhood, Joanna had taken immense pride in Bryson, who was charming and
competent. Every tshe mentioned Bryson, she would receive envious glances from others. But now, as she
lay there grappling with the bitter truth, Joanna couldn't help but feel a profound sense of disillusionment.
Bryson, her idolized brother, had succumbed to temptation and betrayed her trust by sleeping with Kathy.
Disappointment clouded Joanna's gaze. “I can’t believe you would stoop so low as to use being drunk as an
excuse to have sex with a woman. It makessick.”
Bryson, seated solemnly on the nearby sofa, was rendered speechless by Joanna's cold and heartless
condemnation. Though he longed to defend himself, the damning evidence presented by the video on the
entertainment news was like a smack in the face, his voice lost in the face of irrefutable truth. The unmistakable

Though Bryson opened his mouth to speak, words failed him.
Norah placed a comforting hand on Joanna's shoulder and urged softly, “Joanna, please, try to calm down.”
Norah understood that Joanna's outburst stemmed from a place of profound disappointment. Before this
incident, Joanna had always spoken of Bryson with pride. Norah didn’t want Joanna to speak in the heat of the
moment, only to regret her words later.
“Don’t be angry, Joanna,” Susanna chimed in, her voice tender as she gently shook Joanna's arm. Inwardly,
however, Susanna couldn't help but acknowledge that if Sean were to commit such things, her disdain for him
would be a certainty. Susanna found herself agreeing with Joanna's stance. Bryson’s decision to sleep with a
woman Joanna despised was nothing short of reprehensible. Susanna struggled to comprehend what could have
possibly been going through Bryson’s mind.
Meanwhile, Bryson sat in silence, his fingers tangling in his hair as he wondered why things had to turn out so
painfully. Darwin and Raina exchanged a glance, and a shared sense of resignation hung heavy between them.
Raina’s voice carried a note of helplessness as she said, “Now we have to figure out how to navigate the
aftermath with the Carter family. What should we do about Kathy?”
Raina had crossed paths with Kathy before and knew all too well the type of person she was. Kathy, to her
disappointment, was narrow-minded and low-key. Before visiting the hospital today, Darwin had gathered
information about Kathy's conduct, discovering that she had a reputation for trouble. The issue was that his son
was now embroiled in an affair with her.
“Bryson, you're an adult. | believe you have your own considerations on this matter. Your mother and | have only
one condition. You cannot toy with other people’s feelings or jeopardize someone else’s well-being,” Darwin
remarked, his voice firm and authoritative. The Andrews family prided themselves on their values, chief among
them being unwavering fidelity to one’s spouse.
Joanna turned her head away, tears brimming in her eyes, her nose reddened with emotion. “Bryson, you really
are oversexed. You'll sleep with just about any woman.” Norah's grip on Joanna's shoulder tightened, her voice
firm as she interjected, “Joanna!”

Joanna's words were becoming more harsh, and Norah knew it would only worsen her relationship with Bryson.
“Norah...” Joanna's voice trembled, a lump forming in her throat. Just thinking of it caused her heart to clench so
painfully that she wanted to cry. To think that her beloved brother, held in such high esteem and respect, had
slept with someone as undeserving and wretched as Kathy. If it had been anyone else, perhaps she wouldn't
have felt so devastated.
Spencer's voice was barely a whisper as he spoke up. “Well, it waswho sent Bryson to his room yesterday.”
The tension in Joanna's ward was so thick, casting a heavy veil over the room, that Spencer hesitated to speak
any louder.
After a moment of deliberation, he resolved to shed light on the events of the previous night. “The room in
question is one of the larger suites at the Glamour Club.”
“I used my room card to unlock the door, and when | entered, | saw nobody inside.” As he recounted the details,
Spencer's mind drifted back to the haze of intoxication that had clouded his senses. After settling Bryson in the
room, he turned on his heel and left. In his vague memory, he did not recall seeing anyone else in the room at
the time.
