Otherwise, if Edwin divorced her, she would not know if Noah would take good care of her child.Biting her lip, Joanne's eyes dulled as though shrouded with mist.She blinked hard a few times, squeezed her chubby face, showed a cute smile in front of the mirror, and sniffled. She managed to suppress her inner sadness....Joanne opened the bathroom door, and her long hair, which was originally loose, was tied into a bun, revealing her chubby face.That appearance made Noah a little jealous again.After all, she had gone through many things and endured so much stress that her face was full of wrinkles."Joanne." Noah walked toward her fondly, took her hand, and winked playfully. "I want to work in Eclipse, but Eddy said that you might be unhappy and won't pass my interview."'Eddy? Such an intimate way of calling him…' Joanne felt a little disgusted by this.Only someone close to Edwin like Granny Atherton would call him Eddy.There was a hint of expectation in Edwin's express
Joanne bit her lower lip and knelt.She then looked up at Sylvie, who was sitting on the couch in the middle, and she no longer had the gentleness and kindness she used to have for her.Sylvie stared at Joanne coldly and said to Harry, "Harry, tell her what you've found."Harry stood up from his seat, took out a stack of women's hygiene products from a storage box, and threw it in front of Joanne with a look of disgust."Mom, I used to wonder why a notorious actress would fall in love with Eddy, so I asked the maids to keep an eye on her, and these are what they found. These aren't what a pregnant woman would use, are they?""I had someone follow her, and it was exactly as I expected. Today, at the elevator entrance of the private hospital, she admitted that she wasn't pregnant. She went to the hospital for a gynecological examination. She's been lying to us all this time!"The fierce light in Sylvie's eyes intensified at this. She loved Joanne so much and cared so much for the c
"How come it's a coincidence that you bought an expired pregnancy test stick, and it turned out to show two lines? I'm sure someone's trying to use the child to tie herself to Eddy!""I didn't!" Joanne yelled back at Harry angrily. "Pretending to be pregnant wasn't my idea at all!"Sylvie was shocked, and her face suddenly turned pale.Seeing that, Kelly hurriedly handed her a cup of tea and reprimanded Joanne, "Miss Winters, everyone knows that Master Edwin is obsessed with you. Are you saying that Master Edwin was the one who planned all these to fool Old Madam Atherton? How dare you?!"Joanne thought of the close relationship between Edwin and Sylvie. If she said it was Edwin's idea, Sylvie would be hurt even more.After all, being hurt by the one who trusted and cared the most, hurt the most.A wild thought suddenly occurred to Joanne.'Noah is back at Edwin's side now, so I'm…basically useless now.'Gritting her teeth, Joanne said loudly, "Well, since you found out, then I
Joanne stared at the check in front of her, written with a handsome sum.In the past, Sylvie often gave her a check, saying it was her pocket money. At this moment, however, it was nothing but hush money....Joanne had quietly left with a cab under the bright moonlight.The whole manor was well furnished, but Sylvie felt empty. All the feelings and expectations that she had for Joanne for the past few months vanished.Kelly came back and told Sylvie that Joanne was a hypocrite after all and left without taking any money.Sylvie sighed faintly, unable to tell whether it was more anger or more helplessness in her heart.She could barely sleep a wink that midnight, so she got up, went to Edwin's bedroom, and turned on the light. The bright bedroom was still the same as before Joanne left with all the vintage decorations.In fact, there was something on the nightstand.It was the silver bracelet she gave to Joanne before.Seeing Sylvie staring at the silver bracelet in a daze, K
Edwin felt even more conflicted the more Kelly insisted.The veins on his forehead bulged. He clenched his fists tightly and raised his eyebrows. "I knew from the beginning that Joanne wasn't pregnant. It was my idea to deceive Grandma. Don't put the blame for everything on Joanne. If she can be a bit scheming, I think she has learned something from me eventually, and I'm proud of her."Kelly froze as her mouth widened in shock. 'Master Edwin is the mastermind?'…Three days have passed since they met in the hospital.For the past three days, Catelyn had stayed in Atherton Manor and did not go anywhere. It was too late when she learned that Joanne was expelled by Sylvie, and Joanne must have gone somewhere far.She tried calling her, but Joanne only told her that everything was fine before she ended the call.Catelyn wanted to call her again, but she was too busy taking care of herself.After all, she was in a terrible spot herself.When they met in the gallery that day, Cedri
"You'll what?!"The word 'divorce' hung on her lips, but Catelyn could not say it. She and Cedrick had worked so hard to come to this point, and she did not want to lose him anymore."I'll die with this child! I won't kill this child unless I go with it!""Catelyn, do you think your feeble threat is useful? Miles and Ollie are still young, and Sylvie loves you dearly. I don't believe that you're willing to die for this child."Catelyn's cheeks turned pale. He was right; this kind of threat was so childish that he would not believe it at all."What about divorce, then? If you dare to force me again, I'll divorce you! From now on, I have nothing to do with you. You don't have to worry about this child's life or whether I can take care of them in the future!"It was what Cedrick had thought Catelyn would say. Still, his tone did not change even in the slightest."You want a divorce, don't you? You have to abort the child, then!"Catelyn became short-tempered in an instant and walk
In order to ensure the lineage of the Mason family, Draco would not stop his sons from getting mistresses and having offspring with them.Not for anything else but only to leave a few more descendants of the Mason family.Yet, oddly, most mistresses and wives of the Mason males gave birth to stillborn babies, and abortions seemed to cause irreversible damage to these women.As far as Sylvie knew, those women did not end well.As a last resort, Draco even thought of finding a woman to be a surrogate.It was a pity that he was getting old, and his body was damaged due to intemperance when he was young. Hence, his sperms were not fertile anymore…Sylvie got herself out of the thread of memories, closed her eyes lightly, and said helplessly, "Cat, what Cedrick said is not wrong. You need to abort this child."Catelyn tightened his grip on Sylvie and looked at her in disbelief. "Grandma, what are you talking about? This is your little great-grandson. Even you want me to kill him too?
Catelyn did not listen to him, and she did not stop running.Catelyn breathed a sigh of relief and ran to the second floor. She initially wanted to lock herself in the room to buy herself time to think of another plan, but who knew that two maids just happened to come in the corridor on the second floor…"Catch her!" Cedrick lowered his voice and ordered the two maids. "That's the order from Old Madam Atherton! I need to take her away today!"The two maids looked at each other and then looked at Kelly downstairs as if they were seeking confirmation.Kelly nodded and said, "Listen to Master Cedrick, stop Miss Atherton."The two maids immediately spread their arms, blocking the aisle tightly. Seeing that, Catelyn could not go back to her room even if she wanted to. She gritted her teeth and could only continue running upstairs…Soon they reached the balcony on the top floor.The balcony on the top floor was a greenhouse. Usually, Sylvie would like to hang out in it to cultivate he
