Chapter 1446Just as Edwin was about to count to three, her brain reacted faster than her body. Joanne blurted out, "Okay! You can stay as long as you give me back my phone!"Who exactly was calling that made this calm woman panic like this?A ray of light flashed across Edwin's eyes as he slowly lowered his hand.Joanna's eyes were glued to the phone.She was about to get it back when Edwin's thumb fell on the Answer button."What are you doing? Don't answer it.""Mmm."Joanne's exclamation and a soft sigh in the receiver instantly overlapped. Edwin had broken his promise!He turned his palm in a circle and brought the phone back to his ear.He wanted to see who it was that made Joanna so nervous.Except for Patrick or Jack...How many others was she hiding?Joanne had the urge to jump out of bed to grab the phone, but the injury to her right foot held her down. She could only hold her breath, afraid that Tail would hear her voice and call her mom. She prayed that the p
Chapter 1447Joanne stifled any sound that might reach the girl's ears, biting her lower lip fiercely. Her eyes bore into Edwin like daggers, accusing him of his shamelessness.Edwin, not wanting to see her tears or vulnerability, decided to drop the matter of the girl's identity. Swiftly, he scooped Joanne up and placed her back on the bed."Alright, alright, I won't fight you for the phone."Meanwhile, far away in Mourpa, Tail pouted for getting no response from Edwin."Are you still there?""Did you lie to me?""Hmph!""Uncle Patrick... Uncle Patrick."The sound of the little girl's footsteps echoed, followed by the creak of a door opening.It seemed she was off to find Patrick.Soon after, Patrick's voice, tinged with a hint of laziness, came through the receiver. "Baby, what's the matter?""There's a weird man who keeps asking who I am. It's so strange. Am I being tricked?" Tail cooed, handing the phone to Patrick.Cradling Tail in the crook of his arm, Patrick chuckl
Chapter 1448To avoid trouble, Joanne casually chatted with Patrick for a while and then hung up the phone.She broke into a cold sweat unknowingly.Joanne thought, 'I must protect my deary.'She breathed a sigh of relief. Suddenly, she felt a cold gaze on her. Joanne looked over and saw Edwin's sharp, searching eyes.He asked doubtfully, "Who is the 'deary' on your phone, Patrick or that little girl?"Joanne's heart lurched. She raised her eyebrows slowly. "Does it matter to you?""Of course." Edwin's eyes narrowed slightly. He leaned down and said word for word, "Patrick is already Ms. Brown's fiancé. Based on your messy relationship with Jack, this deary cannot be him, so it could only be that little girl. How is she related to you? Why do you call her so intimately?"Sure enough, Edwin didn't believe Patrick's words. Joanne got nervous."Patrick has said she is his daughter. Why can't I call her intimately? I am naturally fond of children. They are like angels. I can call
Chapter 1449The clear moonlight shone on his tall body.He was slender, and his gait was steady, but his eyes were turning red...Joanne stared at his back fading away.'What does he mean by "you even abandoned me"?'He wanted to divorce me because he thought I had slept with Patrick, and he had hit men come after me to protect the Atherton family's reputation.'Is there anything I don't know?'No, there can't be.'Even so, why is he with Sharon?'He's just a playboy.'Joanne covered her pounding heart and went back to sleep, but she kept tossing and turning. Then she saw the latest entertainment news on Twitter, the most eye-catching of which was about Edwin. The misleading headline said that he had gone to a hospital late at night with his new love who might be pregnant.Joanne was already unable to sleep. When she saw the news, she was wide awake.She clicked on the news and saw that it was indeed about her and Edwin.Someone posted a picture of Edwin hugging her in th
Chapter 1450Late at night, Edwin was at Riverdale Entertainment Club.Dozens of wine bottles were lying on the table.Next to him were a few of his close friends, including Benjamin.After having children, Cedrick rarely came to the club. He occasionally stayed here for a short time, saying that Puffy didn't like the smells of alcohol and tobacco. They were jealous and felt Cedrick was crazy.Benjamin looked at Edwin drinking constantly. Edwin seemed to want to get drunk, but his eyes were sober."Stop drinking. Your head is broken, but you haven't even treated your injury, and you've drunk so much. Do you want to die?"Edwin was wearing a loose shirt with a few buttons undone."Benjamin, do you think I'm silly?"Benjamin was speechless."I should have been with another woman. Why did I choose to be hurt by that heartless woman twice?"Benjamin, who was not very clear about the things between Edwin and Joanna, loved money the most."How can women be compared with money? Si
Chapter 1451Later, Joanne's medical records stating that she couldn't get pregnant were revealed. She deceived everyone.Many times Edwin wanted to investigate it to deny Joanne's deception. Catelyn couldn't possibly be best friends with a scheming woman, but Edwin gave up.Maybe the medical records would be found fake, yet what if it was real?Every time Edwin played the video of Joanne and Patrick boarding the plane to a foreign country and snuggling up to each other, he had the urge to destroy her.Edwin thought, 'She had idolized Patrick for years. She and I were just married for a few months. How could I compete with him?'Edwin smiled wryly, wondering if he was too stubborn or if she was too cruel.Suddenly, his face turned sullen again, and he took a sip of wine.Edwin was not willing to give up. Even though Joanne adored Patrick, Patrick was already Ada's fiancé, and there was only Jack, a philander, left by her side."Tsk, everyone, look at the latest news about that
Chapter 1452Half an hour later, the private room was a mess, with broken glass and bottles scattered all over the floor.The young man was beaten up and sent to the hospital while Benjamin stayed to take care of the aftermath."Have you vented your anger? If so, go wash your face to sober up."Benjamin's gaze fell on Edwin's handsome face, feeling frustrated."The photos of you and Joanne have just been exposed. Maybe there are paparazzi at the door right now. Don't embarrass yourself."Edwin was distracted. "I've already made a fool of myself.""Anyway, you can't be like this," Benjamin said with dissatisfaction.Edwin was lying on the sofa without saying a word. Feeling sorry for Edwin, Benjamin sighed, asked the waiter to change a private room for Edwin, and told the staff not to spread what had happened today.Benjamin turned his head and saw Edwin fiddle with his cell phone with an unreadable expression.Edwin's phone buzzed.A familiar notification voice sounded as if
Chapter 1453The headlines such as "Edwin Denied Their Relationship" and "Who Is the Other Woman? The New Lover or the Old Lover?" went viral online.Sharon got up and ate breakfast. When she heard that her agent reported it to her, she smiled complacently."It's great that Mr. Atherton denied his relationship with Joanna. It proves that I'm his only lover."But the agent shouted anxiously, "The key is that Mr. Atherton didn't deny his relationship with Joanna but denied his relationship with you!"Suddenly, the spoon in Sharon's hand fell on the plate.She tightly held her phone in disbelief and exclaimed in surprise, "What did you say?""You haven't checked Twitter yet, right? At 5 a.m., Mr. Atherton suddenly posted on his Twitter account that had been lying idle for three years. He declared that he had been single all the time, hadn't married you and had no relationship with you!"Sharon's expression changed immediately. She didn't have the time to have breakfast anymore but
