Chapter 1459Lucas was motivated. He quickened his pace. Edwin was sitting alone at his desk. He picked up a picture of Joanne and stroked it with his fingers. In the picture, Joanne was alone, leaning on the balcony railing, looking into the distance; the setting sun cast her shadow on the floor. Although she was facing the light, her eyes were gloomy. Edwin regretted his stubbornness in the past. He had hidden Catelyn's daughter in order to find Joanne. But he hadn't considered why Joanne had divorced him. He had hurt her. Although it was a long time ago and it all seemed to be over, when he looked back at it, it still hurt. 'If I had seen this video earlier, maybe we wouldn't have been separated for so many years... 'Maybe she wouldn't have been wounded so badly...'Edwin felt a sudden surge of jealousy towards Jack. Jack had been by Joanne's side for the past four years. He had seen Joanne start her life all over, watched her face change, and...'Yesterday at
Chapter 1460Jack carried Joanne in his arms and headed for his car. It was summer, so he was soon sweating, but he muttered, "Are you so stupid? Can't you see I want you to hold me? I suppose only I’m willing to be your boyfriend."Joanne rolled her eyes at Jack. "Are you really Ada's brother?""Of course!" Jack said with a smug."I suspect you were adopted. You have nothing in common with Ada." Joanne scoffed. And she added, "Stop calling me your girlfriend. You have too many girlfriends.""Since I met you, I've broken up with them all."Joanne was speechless.Jack was constantly changing his girlfriend. She guessed that he was keen on her now because she looked different after her plastic surgery and that he would soon lose interest in her....Edwin pulled over to the side of the road across the hospital. He got out of the car with a breakfast bag which he especially got from a nearby luxurious hotel.He had taken a shower and changed his clothes, but he still smelled fai
Chapter 1461Inside the Atherton family’s villa, Harry was throwing a tantrum after watching a news report on TV. He smashed the remote control on the ground and it broke into pieces.The servants were silent. They were afraid of irritating Harry."Bastard! I set him up with so many rich girls. Why does he want an actress?"Harry was so angry that he called his assistant directly.The assistant came soon. The TV screen in the living room was frozen, showing a picture of Edwin and Joanna.The assistant had been working with Harry for many years. Seeing Harry's stern face, he knew he needed to do something."Sir?""You did a good job with Joanne four years ago," Harry snapped. He had deep wrinkles around the corners of his eyes. With a furious expression on his face, he looked frightening. "You have a new assignment. Do you know this actress?""I've heard of her. Her name is Joanna. She has been very close to Mr. Atherton recently. Her name is similar to Joanne's. Is it possible
Chapter 1462"You did approach Edwin for money!" Harry spat. "You can't fool Edwin. I suggest you be a smart woman. Take the money he gave you and stay away from him before I expose you as a gold digger.""Mr. Atherton, you're wrong. It's your son who's been pestering me. Please tell him to stay away from me." Joanne bluntly rebutted, "I will despise him if he appears in front of me again."Harry was surprised that Joanne was so tough. His face darkened. Before he scolded Joanne again, she saw Jack back in the mirror.Jack came with Joanne's pink suitcase. He recognized Edwin's father at once.Jack didn't know why Joanne hurt her foot. Anyone who knew about the incident was threatened by Benjamin not to tell around.Jack learned that the shooting of Joanne's TV play, Story in Rosch, was suspended by Edwin, so he suspected that Edwin was also responsible for Joanna's injury."Where did this beggar come from? Can't you see this is a luxury car? If you scratch my car, can you affor
Chapter 1463After Joanne waited for a while at the airport exit, a dazzling Ferrari rushed over and stopped next to her and her female assistant Amanda. A charming and sexy woman with lustrous chestnut curly hair got out of the car.Although Jack was flirtatious, Ada was loyal in love.Ada took off her sunglasses and instinctively wanted to give Joanne a big hug, but her face changed when she saw her sitting in a wheelchair. "Damn! Why are you in a wheelchair? Who hurt you? I assume my brother didn't take good care of you because of his little lovers, did he?"Joanne briefly explained that it was due to an accident, and her mind was now occupied with her baby girl's pale face. She urgently wanted to see her."I'm fine. Please tell me now how Tail is doing." "The temperature dropped a few days ago, and your baby girl kicked off her blanket in the middle of the night, so she caught a cold. Please don't get agitated, for I'll take you to see her." Ada helped Joanne into th
Chapter 1464Harry hesitated, "Of course, your happiness is more important. Power and reputation are just icing on the cake.""My happiness?" Edwin sneered, "Why don't you be honest and admit that you value power the most?""I'm your father. Why don't I want you to be happy?" Harry didn't expect that there would be such a deep gap between Edwin and him. He sighed in disappointment."Since you want me to be happy, why do you keep driving away the women I love? You are against both Joanne and Joanna. You have no confidence in me. You think marrying a woman from a powerful family is the only way for me to make our family stronger!"After Joanne left, four years had passed. Edwin had rarely had such a peaceful talk with his father, even though his tone was still sarcastic at the moment.Harry didn't refute Edwin. He admitted bluntly, "Yes, I want you to marry a woman from a powerful family. Look at the Mason family! How fast their family has expanded in the past few years! Their over
Chapter 1465Ada and Joanne walked to the bed gently, put aside the curtain, and a lovely baby angel appeared in front of them. Tail perfectly inherited Joanne's genes, with a round face, long thick eyelashes, and smooth skin. She was a real beauty. However, because of illness, Tail’s face was a little less rosy but sickly. Joanne and Tail had just been apart for less than a month, but Joanne felt that they had been apart for several years. "Mama... Huh..." Tail turned over and uttered a few raving words. Her delicate and small mouth was slightly open, and she looked very cute. Joanne, who was sitting in a wheelchair, reached out to touch Tail's face, "Sleep, sleep, my dear baby." "Don't worry, the fever has left Tail. The doctor said that Tail would be able to go home tomorrow morning after getting another IV," Ada explained. Joanne finally breathed a sigh of relief and nodded, "Thank you so much." "You are polite to me again! Tail is so lovely, and every time I see he
Chapter 1466Tail tilted her head and said sweetly, "You're the best mama in the world, besides my mama.""That's what I like to hear." Ada flashed a proud smile, bending down and pointing to the right side of her face, "Then why don't you give me a kiss?"Before Tail could oblige, Joanne reached out and blocked their faces protectively. "Don't let her get poisoned by your cosmetics."Ada laughed heartily, and the three of them left the hospital together. Patrick was waiting for them in his car.Patrick was surprised to see Joanne in a wheelchair, but he quickly recovered and asked a few concerned questions before picking up the little girl with one hand and stuffing her into the back seat of the car. Joanne moved with difficulty. Ada helped her get into the car.Ada sat in the passenger seat and pointed to a box in the back seat. "If you feel cold, blankets are there.""Okay." Joanne took out a blanket and draped it over Tail, making sure the girl wouldn't catch a cold."H
Chapter 1943"Just 999 dollars! It will bring you a long, happy life together."The vendor stared at Catelyn with eager eyes, frantically trying to sell his products.Cedrick looked down at Catelyn tenderly and asked, "Do you like it?"Catelyn picked up a charm to take a look, smiling, "It's not bad, but is it too expensive?"The charm was a good symbol. However, it was just casually made, not worth that much. This vendor was clearly trying to rip them off."As long as you like it, it has value."Cedrick raised his chin. Eason immediately handed over 10 hundred-dollar bills.The vendor gazed at the dollar bills with glowing eyes, took them with trembling hands, and chose a perfect charm for Catelyn and Cedrick.Cedrick took the charm and connected Catelyn's hand and his with it.His long, slender fingers moved. Even the slightest movement was very pleasant. Coupled with the romantic atmosphere, it was so beautiful.Joanne got excited as she watched them, clamoring, "I want o
Chapter 1942"Oh my, Evelyn made the shop assistant kneel to put her shoes on? That was too much! Does she think she's a noble princess?""Check out this video. Evelyn framed Mrs. Mason at the mall with a big belly.""Even a beast won't harm its children. Evelyn risked her child's life! How can she be so cruel?""Bah! Mr. Mason is handsome and rich. Evelyn actually cheated on him!""Her lover is too ugly. Evelyn has terrible taste.""Ahhh, Evelyn moaned so lewdly in the video. How can this man compare to Mr. Mason? I want to vomit..."As people online questioned and criticized Evelyn, her reputation completely collapsed, and she quickly became notorious.Cedrick became the victim of this incident.Cedrick sat in the car, looking at the responses on the Internet. He nodded and said, "You did a good job."To create the illusion that Evelyn cheated on Cedrick, Eason used AI technology to change Ralph's face into a stranger's in the videos of Evelyn and him having sex. "Thank
Chapter 1941Evelyn's voice paused, and her eyes were vicious and angry as she questioned hysterically, "But I did everything out of love for you!"Cedrick wanted to laugh. "Thank you, Ms. Swan. Although your love makes me sick, I have kindly prepared a gift for you."Evelyn looked at him in fear and confusion when she saw a familiar figure walk in through the door.The visitor was just as tall, straight, and handsome as Cedrick. It was amazing to see any difference in their appearance."It's you? You're Ralph?" exclaimed Evelyn, her stomach lurching.For so many nights, she had sex with Ralph, the imposter. No wonder the baby she gave birth to was so disgusting too."Little bitch, long time no see. I missed you so much."Ralph grinned and walked toward Evelyn with lustful eyes."Go away! Go away!"Evelyn frantically waved her pillow, trying to repel Ralph, but these attacks were like a kitten's playing in Ralph's eyes.Ralph smiled evilly, dragged Evelyn down from the hospi
Chapter 1940A few seconds later, she tore up the piece of paper regardless and looked at Cedrick with crazy eyes, "I'm your wife! It's Mrs. Mason in name only! All of this is a lie. My daughter is your child! And could only be your child!"Cedrick sneered, his deep eyes icy, "Think what you want, as long as you're happy."His voice was deep, pleasant, and charming, but what he said sent chills down Evelyn's spine.Evelyn looked at him incredulously. The smile on Cedrick's lips became even more fascinating. "There's something I forgot to mention. Are you sure the person you married is me? My wife is Catelyn from the beginning."Previous images flashed through Evelyn's mind. She thought of Cedrick's different attitudes. His passion, his impatience... Scene by scene, frame by frame, it was like a horrible movie, making her shiver."Cedrick, you indeed lied to me..."Evelyn stared at Cedrick with hatred, her eyes paranoid and mad."Even if my child is not yours and I didn't marry
Chapter 1939"I'm satisfied," Cedrick smiled dangerously, his eyes emotional.It was a smile that made Evelyn feel extremely alarmed."Then ... show me the baby."Cedrick looked at Evelyn condescendingly, his deep eyes full of coldness. "Eason."Eason respectfully carried the baby over to the hospital bed. "Mrs. Mason, please."Evelyn took the child in surprise and lifted the swaddling blanket on the baby.Although it was a girl, Evelyn gave birth to her. Naturally, Evelyn loved her.Yet the moment she saw the baby's face, Evelyn's face suddenly changed, and she quickly threw the baby away, leaning down and vomiting."No, it's not my baby! It's not my baby!"'How can she possibly be my child?' The baby was deformed. Her little face was bruised. Her eyes, nose, and mouth were all tightly grown together. She looked extraordinarily horrible..."Mrs. Mason, this is your baby!"Eason nimbly caught the baby that almost fell to the floor and brought it back to Evelyn."Take her a
Chapter 1938"Now, all of you, stop talking nonsense and do your job. We'll have an easy time when she has given birth."The doctor reprimanded and turned to go back to his office.Inside the room, Evelyn scrolled through the videos and news with a bitter smile.These days after she came back, Cedrick visited her every day and was photographed by many reporters and media. Now the news was all about her and Cedrick being in love.Yet only she knew that Cedrick always left soon after he came, never staying longer than fifteen minutes.'Is it really because he's too busy working?'When she thought of Summer and Braylon, who came in and out together affectionately, a glint of jealousy flashed in Evelyn's eyes.If only Cedrick could always stay by her side as Braylon did to Summer.Soon, it was Evelyn's due date."Cedrick, I'm so scared..."Evelyn grabbed Cedrick's sleeve, sweating in pain. "I can't take it anymore. I want a C-section with general anesthesia..."With a cold ligh
Chapter 1937The nurse rushed to support Evelyn.Evelyn looked flustered and headed back to the ward."Has anyone touched my things?"Evelyn came back like a different person. The condescension she had when she first arrived disappeared.'Braylon is no ordinary man. What if he really wants to help Summer get back at me?'Evelyn subconsciously rubbed her belly. She mustn't let anything happen to her child. She called the nurse and said coldly, "Ask the doctor to come here! I suspect someone has poisoned me."The nurse gave her a frightened look and murmured, "Mrs. Mason, how is this possible?""I don't care! Go get the doctor to check everything in the room. I will not allow anyone to hurt my child!" Evelyn yelled in a stern voice as her eyes went crazy.The nurse called the doctor in fear, and the doctor came, checked everything, and said resignedly, "Mrs. Mason, we assure you that everything here is qualified and absolutely free of any harmful substances. You can relax."Eve
Chapter 1936Evelyn nodded with satisfaction and asked with a smile, "Did Cedrick arrange this for me?"Eason thought to himself, 'Mr. Mason has no time for her.' Yet he smiled, "Of course, Mrs. Mason. If there's nothing else, I'll go back now."Evelyn smiled and nodded, "Go ahead. There are so many nurses here. They can take care of me."Cedrick had arranged the best labor and delivery room for Evelyn. Three nurses worked 24-hour shifts, so she would have someone to serve her at any time.Evelyn walked into the glass corridor, looking out at the sunshine and green grass. Suddenly, she saw a familiar figure."Who's that woman on the bench?"Evelyn's eyes went cold as she frowned and asked the young nurse next to her.The young nurse came over and asked with a puzzled look, "Mrs. Mason, which one do you mean?" "The old woman on the bench."A sneer appeared on Evelyn's lips, and her tone was acerbic.The nurse gave Evelyn a surprised look. "This lady is Mrs. Hensley, who live
Chapter 1935Cedrick was silent for a moment, counting the time. Indeed, Evelyn's due date was approaching.The smile on his mouth grew colder as he thought about what was going to happen."I'll have Eason pick you up.""I know you're busy. It's okay to have Eason pick me up, but I want to see you as soon as I get back."Evelyn smiled sweetly, not bothering with these details.As long as Cedrick cared about her, it was the same whoever came to pick her up.Evelyn touched her round belly, and her expectant face gradually became worried.'It's said that a sharp belly predicts a son and that a round belly predicts a daughter. My belly is so round. Will I have a daughter?'Meanwhile, Cedrick hung up the phone, casually threw it to the bedside, lay back down, and pulled the soft Catelyn into his arms.Half asleep, Catelyn heard Evelyn speaking arrogantly on the phone and slumped against Cedrick's chest."Evelyn's coming back?"Cedrick nodded slightly, a little impatient. "She's
