Chapter 1485Lucas said, "Although Jack is a playboy, it's widely known that Ada has remained chaste all the time. The little influencer is three years old. At that time, Ada was still at school abroad. I especially checked her medical records. She didn't have any parturition records that year."Lucas was afraid that he didn't explain it clearly and added. "Thus, Tail isn't Ada's daughter."Edwin kept silent for three seconds. Suddenly, he stood up from the couch."Why didn't you tell me about it earlier?""I... I have just gotten the news and reported it to you immediately." Lucas' face turned red.Edwin clenched his fists tightly and looked at Lucas as if Lucas was a dead man.Edwin's gaze made Lucas' hair stand on end. Lucas explained anxiously, "When we lived in the Brown family's villa, I seized the chance and squared a servant."The servant said that Mrs. Brown saved Mrs. Atherton in the sea four years ago. At that time, Mrs. Atherton was covered in bumps and bruises. Tai
Chapter 1486"Suppress the news first, and it must not be brought up to the Board of Directors," Ada instructed her assistant.Seeing Ada's gloomy face, Joanne poured her a cup of warm tea. "Don't worry, for things may not be as bad as your assistant said. Let's arrange for another team to explore it again. Perhaps those wastes aren't completely unmanageable..."Ada looked pale as if she had lost too much blood. She shook her head and said, "It's all my fault! I strongly advocated taking that piece of land at that time. Patrick has reminded me to carefully survey it, but I ignored his advice..."In fact, Patrick was like a matrilocal son-in-law of the Brown family. After all, he left his hometown and broke off contact with the Atherton family in Sapphire City. Therefore, he had been looked down upon by the elders of the Brown family. Even Mrs. Brown, who seemed satisfied with him on the surface, was actually testing his abilities.Ada intended to support Patrick's position i
Chapter 1487From the moment he started chasing after her in Mourpa, it was probably difficult to keep it a secret. After all, when she was living in Mourpa with Tail, she never thought about hiding their relationship. Instead of letting Edwin continue to dig deeper, it was better to tell him the truth now."Yes, Tail is my daughter. The previous claim that Ada gave birth to her was a lie to deceive you."Edwin's heart tightened and he asked with great expectations, "Her father...""I don't know who he is," Joanne said calmly.Edwin's brows furrowed. "What do you mean?""Don't you remember why we got divorced four years ago?" Joanne asked back.Edwin immediately thought of her and Patrick being caught in adultery at the hotel. The gynecological examination also proved that she and Patrick might have had a sexual relationship. His face suddenly turned grim, as if a dark cloud had descended upon him."You have never done a paternity test in these years? Patrick is right beside
Chapter 1488Tail was not used to the scene that had just happened.Joanne was holding Tail in her arms, and the latter leaned on her lap, looking very obedient.As they were about to get into the car, they heard Edwin's cold voice."Wait."Tail lifted her head from Joanne's arms and saw Edwin. Her pupils shrank, and she exclaimed, "Mommy, he's the child trafficker…"Edwin's handsome face, which had almost softened under his great efforts, immediately sank.He glanced at Joanne and then turned to Tail with a gentle smile. "Tail, do I look like a child trafficker?" he asked.Tail sneaked a glance at Joanne's expression and squared her shoulders. "Mommy said that you cannot judge a book by its cover. Some people have human faces but beastly hearts."Lucas wanted to give Tail a thumbs up. No wonder she was Joanne's daughter. At such a young age, she could already use proverbs.Edwin became even unhappier. What was Joanne teaching her daughter every day?But his smile became gen
Chapter 1489"You are really narcissistic," Joanne said and then followed Patrick and Ada into the car and left.Edwin stared at the retreating car, with a playful smile emerging on his face.He immediately asked Lucas, "How many days will it take for the test result to come out?""I have instructed the laboratory to speed up the progress, and the report can come out within two days at the latest," Lucas immediately added.Edwin was extremely dissatisfied. "Too slow!""Mr. Atherton, we are in Mourpa after all. It's not like Sapphire City where there is Yael's laboratory. Two days is already the fastest speed," Lucas defended himself.Edwin seemed to have thought of something and ordered, "This time, you need to oversee the test yourself and ensure that there are no mishaps.""Yes, sir."Joanne was sitting in another car heading to the Brown family's villa. She had been confident in front of Edwin one second ago, but now she was like a deflated balloon in front of her friends,
Chapter 1490He admitted that he had a special feeling towards Joanne when he first saw her on set four years ago.As a well-known celebrity, he had been in the entertainment industry for many years, and countless actresses wanted to become his girlfriend so as to use his fame and resources to gain benefits.However, Joanne seemed to be a simple girl who was completely unaware of this shortcut.Later, when they were rumored to be in a romantic relationship, he not only did not oppose it but deliberately fueled the flames. He had wanted the rumors to appear more believable so that they could act together in a TV series and maybe even develop a real romantic relationship.He had earned enough money in the previous twenty years and had the full support of the Atherton family. Therefore, he did not need to ally with another powerful family, and even if he made Joanne his wife, no one would stop him.However, due to an elaborately designed conspiracy, he spent a night with Joanne, w
Chapter 1491The Internet was purged, and the news about Tail slandering Edwin as a human trafficker was almost completely deleted. The top search results about her were all short dance videos. In the afternoon, Edwin had just finished a video conference and was watching Tail's live stream in the hotel.Tail did live streams at different times these days.Edwin followed Tail's social media account so that he would receive a notification when she began a live stream.Edwin opened the live stream app.After creating an account on it, Edwin hesitated for a second before nicknaming himself as "Tail's Dad", and then he watched Tail's live stream.Tail was drawing.She zoomed out a little. There were a large number of paint boxes and crayons on the table.Then, she finished a crayon drawing. In the crayon drawing, three adults and a child were going out for spring vacation. The sun was shining brightly, the grass was green, the river burbled, and the butterflies were flying about
Chapter 1492"Is Tail's boyfriend really your grandson? I see you guys competing to reward her, and I thought you guys didn't know each other. Turns out you were helping your grandson win Tail's heart. It looks like Tail is going to marry into a rich family."…Numerous people flocked to her page, seemingly familiar with her. Even Tail sweetly called her grandma.Edwin looked unhappy when he saw his comment was drowned out.Tail quickly finished a painting and showed it to everyone by holding it up to the camera. Suddenly, the screen was filled with colorful rocket special effects.It lasted for most of an hour.Tail's Dad gave out Aircraft Carrier * 1000!The gifts she received hit a value of 88 million dollars, which instantly caused a sensation on the entire app. The gift giver was really rich, and his account drew everyone's attention."Dad?""The father upstairs, still lacking a daughter?""Tail's boyfriend, come back! You're no longer No. 1 on the tipping list."Whi
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
