Joanne waved at Patrick and left.She was feeling a little doubtful. She did not tell any friends about this film shoot. Who would come to her?She saw the middle-aged lawyer in a suit and leather shoes and instantly understood what was happening."Hi, Miss Winters. I'm the lawyer from the Atherton Family. Here is the divorce agreement between you and Edwin. You can sign it here." The lawyer handed her a black signing pen as he spread out the document and pointed to the blank space at the end of the page. Joanne gritted her teeth as she took the pen. They found her so quickly, coming all the way here in Kansas City…It seemed that the Athertons really hated her, desperately wanting to remove her from the family.Joanne asked, "Who sent you to give me this document? Was it Grandma? Or Edwin?""Is there any difference?" the lawyer asked impatiently.It took him a lot of time and effort to find out that Joanne had come to Kansas City. He just wanted her to sign the document s
With that, Edwin tore the divorce papers into pieces and threw them into the air!Countless shreds of paper sprinkled in the air and danced around them like a heavy snowstorm.Eric wiped the cold sweat off his forehead in horror. Since Harry's wife's death a long time ago, Old Madam Atherton had been disgusted with his constant flirting with many women and did not allow Harry to remarry.In other words, the position of the wife in his household registration book had become vacant.How was Harry supposed to leave a wife that he did not even have at the moment? He does not even have a wife. How can he leave?"Mister Atherton…" stammered Eric."What are you still standing here for? Waiting for me to take you back to Sapphire City?" asked Edwin coldly as he glanced at the lawyer.Eric glared at Joanne resentfully and then at Edwin. He had no choice but to leave."Well, now the lawyer is gone, and the divorce agreement is gone. I'm going to head back to filming first! I'm quite busy
Joanne looked at Edwin anxiously. "Then what about Noah?" she asked."What are you talking about?" replied Edwin. Why did she suddenly mention her?Joanne pursed her lips. "Don't take me for a fool, I know you two are having an affair."Edwin was silent."She was your first love, wasn't it? You called her by name that night. Since you liked her so much, don't hurt her. Don't let her be an unsightly mistress," said Joanne as she forcefully squeezed out a smile. At this moment, Joanne's heart was racing, and she struggled to breathe.Perhaps she was sick.She had not been sleeping well and not performing at her best in the filming.In an instant, Edwin's face turned cold. His eyes were even more murderous looking now. "Since when did I have an affair with Noah? Did you see it with your own eyes?""Indeed," said Joanne, blinking her eyes with a troubled expression.Edwin laughed back angrily. "Looks like you need to go get your eyes checked. You must be blind!"He could not be
The corners of Joanne's mouth curled up involuntarily as she straightened her back and strode back to the film set.Patrick did not know who Joanne was going to meet, but he could clearly feel that she became very happy after meeting this person.She even took the initiative to say hello to the stage manager. She was smiling all around with her crescent-like eyes as if there were no more worries in the world.Patrick was fascinated as he watched Joanne. He had been in the entertainment circle for so many years, and he had not seen such a simple-minded female artist for a long time.He did a random search on the Internet just now, and it turns out that Joanne had quite a bad reputation among the netizens. It was something Patrick did not expect.In the evening, Patrick had made it clear to the director that he and Joanne were ready for their scene and that they should start shooting immediately, so they did not have to prepare it twice.The director glanced at Joanne worriedly and
Perhaps Patrick was just sympathizing with Joanne as a newcomer. Why else would he set his eyes on a woman like her?Teresa thought so disgustingly. However, her eyes were about to burst into flames as she witnessed Patrick pampering and tidying Joanne's messed-up hair several times during the filming!Not just Teresa, but other female stars on the set, including the director, were all stunned.What happened to Patrick? No, it must be Joanne who seduced him, and now he was too embarrassed to refuse her!Filming a period drama was very troublesome due to the complicated styling and clothes. Joanne tried to drink as little water as possible during the shoot. After the filming was done, she rushed to the bathroom at lightning speed.Bypassing the long aisle, Joanne found the bathroom, and Teresa just happened to come out of it. The two met unexpectedly. Joanne panicked a little as she put on a casual smile and rushed to the side. Teresa's face sank in dissatisfaction.It was onl
Of course, Teresa did not let Joanne go. "Patrick, did you hear what Miss Winters said just now? She was bragging about being close to you. She's not worth it," she said with an aggrieved expression.Patrick walked over slowly. Apparently he had only heard Joanne's last few words. "Perhaps he was blind."Was this her impression of him?Sensing Patrick's probing eyes, Joanne's face turned red. "Is there anything wrong, Joanne?" Patrick's tone was very calm and gentle.Teresa was dumbfounded. Why was he still so kind to her?!Joanne was so embarrassed that she wanted to dig a hole and bury herself in it. She looked down at her delicate white shoes and suddenly took off toward the bathroom, yelling, "I need to pee!""Heh… Joanne is really something. But she is a public figure anyway, and she should be wary of her words. Don't be so vulgar like those uneducated folks!" said Teresa hypocritically, observing Patrick's expression.Patrick glanced at her unamusingly. "Same goes for
In a particular Italean restaurant.Every plain-colored table had a delicate vase placed on the surface, and a champagne-colored rose sat quietly in every vase.The candlelight flickered."Thank you for coming to see me." Noah bit her lip.The soothing music did not seem to help enlighten her heavy heart. She called upon the waiter and ordered two bottles of red wine, then poured a glass for Edwin and one for herself. "Mind drinking with me?"Edwin glanced at Noah casually. What irony, he noted, that he no longer shared her emotions no matter how sad she looked. Needless to say, Noah's emotions did not affect him anymore."Noah, after much consideration, I decided not to employ you anymore. I'll ask the finance department to reimburse your loss," stated Edwin indifferently.Noah's hand froze from reaching out to pick up her wine glass when heard this, and the happiness she felt when she knew Edwin was willing to see her disappeared into thin air.A moment ago, she even thought
When Edwin went to the washroom before leaving the restaurant, Noah spiked his red wine with the expensive liquid ecstasy she bought. She quickly swirled the wine glass to mix the substance with the red wine.As Edwin returned, she began pleading to him and said, "Edwin, I know we'll never rekindle what we used to have, but think of the love we had in the past. Can you find it in you to finish this dinner with me? I promise I won't disturb you anymore.""Not dinner. Just this glass of wine." He picked up the wine glass in front of him and finished it in one go.After that, he walked out in a hurry, and it never occurred to Noah that Edwin could be so unfeeling toward her.She quickly got on her feet and grabbed him, stopping him from leaving. "Wait, you can't leave yet!"According to the instruction, the liquid ecstasy was a strong substance and would only take 20 minutes before the effect kicked in. She just needed to keep him around for twenty minutes!Edwin squinted his long,
