Meanwhile, on the filming set.Joanna packed up her things into her bag and walked outside. She did not want to cause any trouble, so she sneaked out from the back door this time and told no one that she was leaving.After just leaving for a short while, Miss Reed called her."Joanne, are you and Patrick dating?" asked the woman on the other end of the line, and the question, to say the least, baffled Joanne.She quickly waved her hand dismissively. "Of course not! That's pie in the sky, isn't it?"Miss Reed was a very famous celebrity agent that Edwin appointed for her, and Joanne was just an unpopular actress compared to the others under her management. Perhaps Edwin had put in his words for her that Miss Reed paid more attention to her."Maybe you gave Patrick a pretty good impression. He followed you on Twidder just now, and you're now a trending topic because of him. Joanne Winters, you're about to be famous."Flabbergasted, Joanne quickly pulled up the news app.She initi
From a condescending angle, Edwin stared closely at Joanne with reddened eyes. It was as though a fiery aura emanated from his body.Joanne's heart raced at what was happening. It was a dark environment, so she could not see his face clearly. Nonetheless, her instincts told her he must have an embarrassing expression on his face now.Anger and guilt overwhelmed her."I freaked out so badly because you dragged me here out of the blue, and now you're…" she mumbled.Tears rolled down her face. She was so flustered and exasperated that she bit his shoulder vehemently through his shirt, refusing to let go even when her teeth pierced his flesh and blood oozed out.The next day…Joanne felt as though she finished a marathon when she had just gotten out of bed. Her entire body ached."Good morning, Madam." The maid Edwin hired was there to help her to freshen up and change her clothes.After changing her clothes, she could barely walk down the stairs and leaned on the rail. Luckily, sh
Joanne blushed. Why were they asking her this if they knew she was the one who bit Edwin?"Joanne Winters, don't you think you owe me an explanation?" Edwin tapped on the table languidly. His unrestrained eyes were slightly dark."Fine, okay, I bit you—but it was because you were violent first!" Joanne no longer bothered with the facade.She pulled her collar down, and her face blushed. "Look! I got it worse than you!"The area fell deathly quiet, so much so that a pin dropping could be heard.The female butler, who was feeling sorry for Edwin, immediately changed her target and stared at Edwin. 'Master Edwin has gone too far!'Edwin could not remember when he had caused those to Joanne. His handsome face looked terrible, and his voice sounded awkward when he said, "I did that?"Joanne rolled her eyes. "No, it wasn't you. A dog did this!""You're calling me a dog?" Edwin's face darkened.Joanne straightened her neck and refuted, "I'm scolding the dog that attacked me. Why are
"Don't let me see you again!" snarled Edwin before he turned to leave.As he did, however, he saw a frail old lady walking over with a stick, her back hunched. She was holding a lunch box with her right hand and made eye contact with Edwin. Tears evidently welled up in her eyes in mere seconds."Ed…Edwin?"The old lady was Noah's mother. She was just over 50 years old, but because of the chemotherapy and other treatments, she looked older and weaker than an old lady who was in her late seventies or early eighty. She was so weak that the wind could blow her away."Missus Sinclair?" No matter how absurd Edwin was, he could not possibly let himself talk badly to an elder suffering from cancer."Mom, why are you here? Didn't I ask you to stay put in the hospital?" Noah looked worried as she rushed over to take over the bag and helped her mother to sit in the room.Missus Sinclair shook her head stubbornly. Her eyes were filled with tears. "How would I know you nearly got blamed if I
Noah could imagine how embarrassed she looked. She thought she had triggered Edwin when, in fact, he did not believe this gossip at all.She was not about to give up easily and said, "Wind doesn't come from an empty cave without reason."Edwin did not reply and drove faster.He had called the hospital in advance, so the doctor and nurses were already waiting at the entrance with a stretcher. He had them carry Missus Sinclair out of his car and drove off without saying anything.Even when Noah wanted to stop him, she was not fast enough.A pair of beautiful eyes were wavering with jealousy.…Back in the mansion.Joanne felt better after the doctor examined her and applied for medicine. Nonetheless, her lower region was burning in pain, so she sat on the sofa and turned on the television while hugging a pillow.Coincidentally, the news was on. 20 minutes ago, Patrick got surrounded by reporters at a restaurant near the film set, and one of them had asked why he followed Joanne'
The first place Edwin went when he went upstairs was his study. He did not even bother to take off his jacket as he immediately sat in front of his laptop to scroll through news about the entertainment industry.Maybe he had been staying low-key lately. He used to overtake the headlines, yet at this moment, Patrick was the one all over the news instead.Patrick Atherton's romance, Patrick Atherton's movie, the actress starring in the same movie as Patrick Atherton…Various news related to Patrick showed up.Although Edwin and Patrick were not closely related based on the family tree, they both had the same family name. Looking at some points, they shared strong resemblances in some ways.Edwin admitted he was annoyed, especially when an idiot actually commented on his social media account and asked to validate his relationship with Joanne.'Don't he even tell his own idol?' he thought.When he saw Joanne's name being affiliated with Patrick, he instructed his assistant. "Ban Pat
That evening, Catelyn received a call from Cedrick. He told her that he would not be able to have dinner with her, seeing as he had to work overtime in the office which would result in him returning late.Ever since they decided to keep the baby, she was worried Cedrick would lie to her. She did not dare to go out alone with her, and even if she did, she would request her grandmother to assign bodyguards to follow her all the time.As time passed, however, she figured her worry was for nothing. Cedrick was a man of his word, and he never attempted anything detrimental to her and her baby.When it was around late evening, Catelyn changed her outfit and was ready to go out."Miss Clark, where do you want to go?" asked the driver.Catelyn smiled. "Bring me to Mason Group. I'd like to go find Cedrick to talk to him about something.""Sure." The driver opened the car door politely and helped Catelyn to get into the car. He even said, "Your relationship with Master Cedrick is very admi
Catelyn gave a small nod at this.She felt touched by Cedrick's gesture, knowing he wanted to free up two months' time because of their wedding. They would then spend their honeymoon traveling around the world as they waited for the baby's result.Even when they fought and quarreled many times because of the baby, they never once thought of canceling the wedding. This was his compensation to her and also the promise she made to him.Suddenly, Mason Group's administrative secretary came over with a few stacks of documents and, having mustered the courage to, passed them to Catelyn. "Missus Mason, I have some documents here to pass to Master Cedrick. Do you think you can bring them in for me?"Catelyn nodded, not at all bothered by the request. "Sure. Give them to me.""Thank you. You're so kind!""Mine too, please!" Another secretary took the chance and quickly requested Catelyn's help.Subsequently, many secretaries followed suit and requested Catelyn to help them. In the blink
