Chapter 1228The call was over. The assistant felt that the air had obviously become depressing. "Mr... Mr. Atherton?" "Tell Noah to come here." Edwin gave an order in a deep tone. The assistant left in a hurry. Five minutes later, Noah, who still looked sexy even if she was dressed in a professional suit, showed up outside the president's office. Knowing that Edwin asked to see her, Noah took a deep breath, deliberately unbuttoned two buttons at the neck of her shirt, and sprayed a little jasmine perfume. Edwin once said that he liked the faint scent of jasmine on her body. “Knock, knock, knock.” "Come in." The cold voice came from the office. Noah kept her usual smile, pushed the door, and walked in. Edwin was leaning lazily on the chair, holding a signing pen in his hand and narrowing his eyes. Noah smiled and said, "Eddy, you want to see me?" Edwin raised his eyebrows, "How much did you and my father pay to buy Jaslene Hinton off?" ‘Jaslene Hinton...’ No
Chapter 1229He sat alone for a while. Then he opened the second drawer on the right with a key...When he pulled the drawer, a framed photo came into view.It was a photo of him and Joanne...At that time, Joanne was filming on the set, and Edwin went to visit her.Very afraid of getting into trouble, Joanne pretended not to know him. Even when others were infatuated with him, she deliberately said bad things about him, as if she had loathed him and had had nothing to do with him.He was so angry that he pulled her toward an old locust tree when nobody was watching...He pressed her against the tree.Unexpectedly, a reporter in the corner secretly took a photo of them, thinking that he had captured something sensational.Later, Edwin found the reporter and bought the photo at a high price. As he discovered that the photo looked very good, he developed it. This was probably one of the few photos in which he and Joanne were with each other harmoniously.Edwin smiled self-mocki
Chapter 1230"Don't keep talking about Ezekiel. I’ll feel unhappy." Cedrick asked to change the subject.Catelyn didn't want to mention that old bastard, Ezekiel, either. After checking the time, she suggested, "Miles and Ollie will get out of school two hours later. How about you go to work and I go to the hospital to see Grandpa?"Cedrick said, "I saw Grandpa yesterday. Yael advised us not to visit Grandpa these days, as he would receive traditional medical treatment.""Well..." Catelyn sighed.Catelyn was unsure whether it was her delusion that although Grandpa Mason looked hearty, he was weak actually.‘Since Yael said there was no problem, Grandpa is becoming healthy...’ Catelyn comforted herself.Squeezing the flesh around her abdomen, she planned to do yoga to lose weight after getting home.But Cedrick said to the driver, "Go to the nearest cinema."Catelyn looked at him in surprise. "Are you going to watch a movie with me? Didn't you say you were busy at work?""No m
Chapter 1231"I'll have more motivation to lose weight after eating," Catelyn argued.Cedrick was silent for two seconds and compromised."It's okay to eat popcorn, but don’t eat too much or drink anything cold."Catelyn sweetly took his arm. "Copy that, hubby!"Then, she flatteringly pointed to the bar. "Then go stand in line for popcorn. I'll wait for you in the lounge over there."Cedrick was speechless. His resigned expression disappeared, and his face immediately darkened.In the end, Cedrick dragged Catelyn to the line together. They interlocked their fingers, enjoying the rare good time.They booked tickets at the last minute, so the movie they chose was only a niche art film that had just been released. The film depicted a mother who lost her daughter in a natural disaster and subsequently established an elementary school in the disaster area to adopt orphans, and eventually, the mother was named one of the Top Ten Great Figures. The film was based on a real story.In
Chapter 1232Hearing this, Catelyn was swayed.Slowly tormenting Ezekiel would not get her much pleasure, and getting her daughter back was the most important thing. So, instead of tricking Ezekiel, Catelyn gave him an address, and they agreed to meet at 3 p.m.After hanging up the phone, Catelyn excitedly jumped into Cedrick's arms and gave him a kiss on the jaw."Ced, you're great! Ezekiel really fell for it. Next, we'll wait for the meeting at 3 p.m. He said he knew Mr. Denham's whereabouts.Cedrick didn't expect Catelyn to kiss him. He held the back of her head and gave her a long, deep kiss.As his chest heaved, he slightly raised his eyebrows. "He just said that it was probably this Mr. Denham who had stolen our daughter. He is not very sure.""In that case, his claim to have a clue about Mr. Denham is a trick."Cedrick mockingly curved the corners of his mouth. "He thinks you are the one who took the bait, but actually, it was someone else."After that, Cedrick called t
Chapter 1233On the one hand, it showed Ezekiel's importance. On the other hand, it was because the other side became restless.So Ezekiel couldn't just die like that no matter what.While Eason went to round up the killer, Cedrick and Catelyn quickly called the police and intended to rush Ezekiel to the hospital.The traffic police had not yet arrived, so the scene was chaotic. Ezekiel was hit by the van and then fell to the ground, blood spilling from his lips to the ground. The van might have leaked some gasoline, so the smells of blood and gasoline mixed, which smelled extremely unpleasant...Cedrick had Ezekiel carried into a car and was about to send him to the hospital.But just as she was getting into the car, Catelyn suddenly thought of the face of the driver who had just hit Ezekiel.Although he was sitting in the van and wearing a cap, Catelyn had an impression of the driver because she had been watching the situation on Ezekiel's side...She felt that she had seen t
Chapter 1234Catelyn, of course, knew what Granny Atherton meant. Catelyn assured her, "I will protect myself, and no one can hurt me until I get my daughter back.""But I'm afraid it's hard to avoid secret enemies..." Granny Atherton was deeply worried."Alright, let's not talk about these unhappy things. Granny, you haven't taken your blood pressure yet, right? Let me take your blood pressure!" Catelyn took the blood pressure cuff from Kelly, took Granny Atherton's arm, and started to measure her blood pressure.Granny Atherton sighed dotingly, "Every time I tell you this, you change the subject. I really don't know what Cedrick did to make you so devoted to him.""Granny, don't say that. I'm the one who owes him.""Nonsense! I only saw that he couldn't protect you and bullied you..." Granny Atherton's face tightened. She felt that her granddaughter was innocent.Catelyn stuck out her tongue and smiled.At that moment, there were noises of people playing by the outdoor pool o
Chapter 1235"I won't catch a cold... Ahchoo!" Sharon was speaking when a cool breeze tickled her nose and she couldn't help but sneeze.Everyone was quiet for two seconds. Sharon felt an icy gaze on her.Shuddering, she looked up at Edwin.Edwin's eyes flashed coldly. Sharon's smile froze, and she immediately took the bath towel from the sun lounger and wrapped it tightly around her."Kitty, why are you not at the hospital with Ezekiel but here to see me?"Catelyn shrugged. "I have too many bad memories at hospitals.""What would you like to drink?""Juice."Edwin turned his head and ordered Sharon, "Bring Kitty a glass of juice at room temperature with no ice."Sharon glared at Catelyn and squirmed in her sun lounger, not wanting to move. "Just tell the maid to do that. I'm a little cold. I don't feel like walking in the wind.""Didn't you just say that you were not afraid of the cold?" Edwin slightly raised his eyebrows, which made his eyes look even narrower and longer.
