Chapter 444 I Dare You
Jermaine mulled it over before responding, “I doubt a celebrity like her would give birth at General
Hospital. She would probably pick a highly private hospital with more stringent policies. Anyway, I know
some doctors working at several private hospitals in Jade borough. I’ll look into it one of these days.”
“Dr. Sitler, you are the best! You never say no to any of our requests.” Johanna was all smiles when
she served him some dishes. “Come on, dig in. We’re going to hit the bar afterward. Do you want to
join us?”
“Sure!” Jermaine grinned. “I’ve been on night shifts lately, and I haven’t had a good break.”
After dinner, the trio proceeded to have their happy hour at a bar. They went at a time when the bar
was at its best.
Johanna generously ordered a wide variety of wines and insisted that Genevieve and Jermaine could
only leave the bar wasted.
She even requested the bar manager to arrange for a few handsome men to dance around their table
in order to make the night more lively.
However, the manager told her that all the performances had been pre-arranged, and he could not

Hearing that, Genevieve flashed him a stack of cash and things changed at that instant. The manager
grinned from ear to ear; even his tone of voice became more polite. Then, he asked for some time to
select the dancers.
Moments later, a few good looking topless hunks showed up on stage and performed a sexy dance.
Their sets of well-developed six-pack abs looked exceptionally alluring under the dim light.
Coupled with their erotic moves, the dancers sent all the ladies into a frenzy and had them screaming
excitedly at the top of their lungs. Indeed, the dance floor was very vibrant.
Meanwhile, at a private lounge on the second floor, a few bottles of brandy, whisky, and other strong
liquors were seen on the table.
When Armand entered the lounge, Timothy was drinking with Cooper.
To be exact, what greeted Armand was an irritated Timothy plying himself with liquor while complaining
to Cooper.
Armand tossed his jacket on the couch and sat down beside Timothy.
He poured himself a glass of brandy and side-eyed Timothy. “Changed your hairstyle?”
The latter instinctively rubbed the back of his head, only to realize that he no longer had his ponytail.
Feeling rather annoyed, he groused, “It’s not my idea at all. She ridiculously cut my ponytail off when
we were arguing last night. I really can’t believe it. Why does such an unreasonable woman exist on
earth?”
He tried to clear the misunderstanding with Johanna that the girl he ran into at the mall was actually the
sister of his late friend. As a matter of fact, it was a coincidence that they met.
Timothy then showed Johanna the custom-made present he brought back from the mall.
However, she refused to accept his explanation and gave him the cold shoulder for several days.
Yesterday, Denise accompanied her classmate to General Hospital and bumped into Timothy again. He
held the door for Denise’s classmate. Lo and behold, he was caught doing the act by Johanna who
happened to be at the hospital to treat her cold.
When they went home at night, Johanna mocked him for not treating Denise and her classmate to
dinner.
Timothy was fed up that his sincere explanations fell on deaf ears. As he grew impatient, he blurted,
“Can’t you see with your own eyes if I have ever committed adultery since the day we got married?
Can’t you tell? Forget it if you don’t want to believe me. I’m sick and tired of explaining again and
again.”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmJohanna was enraged by his words spoken out of frustration, and the two had an intense quarrel.
After that, Johanna took a pair of scissors and cut off Timothy’s ponytail when he was distracted.
He was so livid that he nearly slapped her on the face.
Johanna went on and requested a divorce, to which he agreed right away. “Bring it on! Let’s do it. I
dare you to be at City Hall tomorrow morning, sucker!”
Johanna slammed the door and stormed off.
Upon hearing what had happened, Cooper adjusted his glasses. “I got it. She cut off the little ponytail
that you’ve been keeping for years, and that’s why you want to get a divorce. That ponytail seems to be
of utmost importance to you.” He added confidently, “Is it related to your ex-girlfriend?”
Timothy said nothing and poured himself another glass of brandy.
Armand swirled his wine glass and asked indifferently, “Denise? Dakota’s sister?”
Cooper shot a curious glance at him. “What do you know?”
“His first love was Dakota Wallowitz.” Armand took another sip of brandy.
“When Timothy was in eleventh grade, both of them were kidnapped on the way home. Although the
Jensen family paid the ransom, the kidnappers were afraid that the Jensen’s would avenge them. So,
they burned the car and ran away. Dakota wanted to save Timothy and missed the best opportunity to
escape before the fire started blazing. Alas, she was engulfed by the fire…”
