It would be much better for them to think that she and Gary White were relatives than to assume their relationship was that of lovers and sugar daddy.
From now on, no one would wildly guess about their relationship.
This would avoid many rumors.
Moreover, with the identity of Gary White's "cousin", it would also help prevent many people from targeting her.
She wondered if Gary White had considered all these issues as well, so that's why he had told people she was his cousin.
Soon, the song Joanna chose began to play.
The group who praised her and flattered her only cared about Gary White's face, just saying what they should say.
They had no idea whether Joanna's singing was good or not.
So after flattering her, they all minded their own business again.
Even Gary White continued drinking with others.
He chose a song for Joanna just because he saw her sitting alone and worried that she might feel bored.
