Chapter 1409With simple luggage, Joanne stood at the gate of East Imperial, which was a landmark community. Before she left Sapphire City, this area was just an open space and was enclosed with walls, but now it had become one of the most luxurious housing. It really seemed like a lifetime ago. The community amenities were excellent, including an outdoor swimming pool, a small bridge, flowing water, a rockery, a fountain, and so on. The community looked quiet and elegant.The only disadvantage was that her apartment was on the thirty-third floor, and it took a while every time she took the elevator. There were many advantages, completely outweighing the only one disadvantage, so Joanne was very satisfied. Joanne asked someone to clean up the apartment. Meanwhile, she went to a nearby shopping mall to buy a batch of necessities. When she came back, the apartment had been cleaned.Lying on the soft and big bed, she felt happy and then rolled on the bed comfortably. Finally,
Chapter 1410Edwin said tonelessly, "I choose Sharon because she's disgusting enough.""You have been more neurotic since Joanne left. I'm reluctant to interfere in your matters. Just don't go too far." Cedrick didn't bother to mention Sharon and hung up....The next day, Joanne received a notification from Eli.She went to the hotel, signed the contract to play the role of Shirly formally and got the lines of Shirly. Eli expectantly asked her to go home to prepare.He was afraid that she had no experience in acting and couldn't get used to hanging wire, fight scenes, riding horses and so on, so she needed to have training in advance.He asked her to take the training next week.She had nothing else to do and agreed without hesitation.On her way to East Imperial, Jack, who was in the hospital, kept calling her tirelessly.He asked her to go to the hospital to take care of him.She agreed on the phone, but she found two young models who had fair skin, pretty faces and long
Chapter 1411She kept on taking deep breaths to suppress the complex feelings and resentment.'Calm down! Joanne, you were Joanna now. You’ve changed your face, so he would not recognize you!'After entering the community, Joanne quickly went around behind the landscape trees to avoid Edwin.However, she saw that Edwin told the guard something and then the guard opened the gate respectfully again...Edwin walked towards the green path where Joanne was hiding.Joanne’s eyes became cold.'Did he find out something? Why did he keep following me?'Despite the numerous questions in her mind, Joanne kept a calm face and went naturally towards Building 18. But she didn’t expect that Edwin still kept following her! Finally, when Joanne swiped her entrance card to enter Building 18 and found Edwin immediately followed in, she directly had it out--“Sir, why do you keep following me? What do you want to do?”'Sir? Did she pretend not to know me? Well, I had plenty of time and energy t
Chapter 1412"Mr. Atherton, mind your behavior!" Joanne’s face immediately darkened.Edwin carried a shopping bag in his left hand and weighed it. "It's indeed a bit heavy."Then he looked at her. "Are you going to carry it for me?"Joanne couldn't tolerate him. She stepped aside with a sneer and motioned for him to press the button. "Press the button if you aren’t following me."In order to ensure the safety of the residents, East Imperial set a password for the elevator, and one had to activate it with an access card.Joanne didn't believe that Edwin could activate the elevator since he followed her.‘He must force his way into the elevator when I swiped the card,’ she thought.Edwin showed a smirk and stared at Joanne meaningfully.If Edwin didn't take action, Joanne wouldn’t either.She forced a smile. "Please.""Okay. I’ll press the button." A playful smile flashed across Edwin's face.The next second, he really took out an access card from his leather wallet...Ding.
Chapter 1413Joanne didn't know that the doors of the elevator had been kept open for a long time after she left.Edwin stared at Joanne in a sullen gaze through the open doors of the elevator. 'Does she even feel disturbed to stay with me in the elevator? I'm more powerful than Jack. Why did she abandon me?'....Joanne returned to her apartment. Her apartment number was 3305. She put the groceries in the kitchen, poured a glass of cold water and gulped it down.Only then did she calm down gradually and not feel flustered...'What's going on? Why is Edwin here?'She called Catelyn immediately."Cat, I need to ask you about something."Catelyn was playing with Puffy, Ollie and Miles. On the phone, Joanne heard that they were laughing from time to time."Joanne? I also want to call you. Have you moved into the No. 3305 apartment? How do you feel? Is it convenient for you? I said that I would like to help you tidy it up, but you refused..."Hearing that Catelyn was concerned a
Chapter 1414As soon as Edwin finished speaking, he changed his shoes and walked into Joanne's home.Joanne stepped forward and blocked him."Wait! I do mind! I don't know you. It's impertinent for you to enter a single woman's home. Please wait here. I will pick it up for you. What is it?"He said casually, "My briefs."Joanne was just about to go to the balcony to pick up the stuff for him, but she was shocked at his answer. She staggered and turned to look at him.He added calmly as if he didn't realize how shocked she was. "I was afraid that you would feel embarrassed, so I would like to pick it up by myself. Now that you don't mind, thank you very much. By the way, I just took it off and hasn't washed it."Instantly, her chubby face was filled with disgust.She opened the door and said coldly, "Pick it up by yourself and leave my home immediately!"He swaggered into the living room.Its decoration style continued Catelyn's preference. Joanne just changed some trifle stuf
Chapter 1415'Black boxer briefs?' The groceries in Jack's hand fell to the ground and his face changed color. He was enraged. He rushed up to Joanne and stared at Edwin-- "Edwin, how dare you hit on my woman?" Anger swelled in Jack’s chest. He raised his fist and smashed it into Edwin's face. Although Jack was injured, his punch was fierce. Edwin got the punch from Jack without warning. He didn't expect Jack to appear at that time. His teeth cracked his lips and blood seeped from the corner of his mouth. Edwin wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth with his finger. He steadied himself and looked up at Jack with cold eyes. More than the pain in his mouth, he was concerned with what Jack had just said... 'Is Joanne his woman? Did he get those groceries to make dinner with Joanne? 'Is Joanne always trying to throw me out because of Jack?' Edwin was also enraged. He stood up straight, clenched his fist, and swung at Jack... "Jack, watch out!" Seein
Chapter 1416Lucas seldom saw Edwin so angry, so he apologized again and again, "I’m sorry, Mr. Atherton. I was wrong. Ms. Winters was too ruthless. How could she beat you like this?" Edwin did not want to mention Joanne and Jack, and a trace of cruelty flashed in his eyes. He ignored Lucas and the doctor and went back to the top floor. The window of the living room was open, so he could smell the aroma of hot pot downstairs, along with Joanne’s and Jack’s intermittent voices, which were not very clear but could be vaguely told that the atmosphere seemed to be very harmonious. Edwin took a bottle of wine from the wine cabinet and stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling window quietly, looking lonely. Downstairs, Joanne made Jack sit on the sofa and brought the medical kit. Fortunately, the medical kit Cat had prepared was filled with essential medicines, gauze, tweezers, and other tools. "Jo, that bastard has been kicked out. Tell me the truth. Did he bully you or not?" Ja
