"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

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

"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,

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

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

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!

When he thought of the eighty-eight-million-dollar gifts he had given Tail in her online, he was so enraged that he slammed his phone on the floor. He felt extremely indignant!  Joanne was shopping in a children's clothing store when Edwin rushed to her in a fury.  She was going back to Sapphire City soon, so she wanted to buy something for Tail.  Suddenly, a group of men’s shadows were cast on the glass doors of the store. A group of strong bouncers got out of several cars and surrounded the store.  "Everybody, get out!" A man yelled. All the customers in the store fled in fear.  Joanne tried to flee with the crowd, but Edwin stopped her.  Edwin stared fiercely at Joanne.  He had a tall figure. As he approached Joanne, he gave off an intimidating aura.  Joanne was scared and she stepped back timidly. Eventually, she hit her

She knew that Edwin would come to ask her and that she would give in because she wanted Edwin to believe that she felt guilty. "What do you want?" Edwin sneered and threw her a piece of paper, "No bargain. Sign the agreement!" ... At six o'clock in the afternoon, the plane sliced through the clouds, leaving white streaks. Patrick and Ada both received Joanne’s text message, which said that she had left Mourpa. At the same time, the clothes that Joanne bought for Tail were sent to Patrick’s house by express, and Lucas also came to see Patrick.Lucas handed the CD and the document in his hand to Patrick and then said, "You've done great! You gave Mr. Atherton such a heavy blow." "Where is Jo now?" Ada questioned Lucas angrily, "Where did Edwin take Jo?" "Mrs. Atherton has decided to remarry Mr. Atherton. This is a wedding gift for you from Mrs. Atherton, which can help you solve your problem.

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

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?

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

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

"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

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.

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.

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

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.
