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 1493'Joanne not only cheated on me four years ago but had a bastard with Patrick!' The expression on Edwin's face became frightening. 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
Chapter 1494In fact, Joanne was psychologically prepared for such a situation. 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.
Chapter 1495Tail's little face turned red from crying.She looked so pitiful....The plane arrived in Sapphire City.So many things happened today. Joanne was relieved as the plane took off.She fell asleep very quickly.Joanne didn't wake up until she got off the plane.Edwin picked her up, took her into the car, and drove her back to the penthouse at East Imperial.He had ordered someone to come and clean the penthouse earlier, so even though he hadn't returned for a few days, the apartment was still tidy, and even the bed was freshly made.Edwin wanted to throw the woman in his arms onto the bed and let her bear him a baby.Yet when he saw Joanne's trembling eyelashes and knitted brows, he cautiously put her onto the bed...After tucking her in, Edwin stared at her for a while and then sat quietly on the edge of the bed.Edwin thought, 'How wonderful it would be if Tail were our daughter!'Why is Tail Patrick's daughter?'In a daze, Joanne felt sharp, somber eyes su
Chapter 1496He hadn't punished her for cuckolding him, and now she added fuel to the fire by slapping him hard in the face.Edwin's anger skyrocketed. Joanne's unfocused pupils gradually lit up. Seeing Edwin's eyes turning crimson, she took advantage of his inattention, rolled on the bed, and quickly jumped off with the bedsheet wrapped around her."How did I end up here?" Edwin was amused by Joanne's evasive move and also got off the bed. Did she think she could avoid him by jumping off the bed? How naïve she was!"Don't come over!" Joanne pointed at Edwin and continued, "I remember now. I signed your agreement, promising to be your wife for three months..."Originally, the agreement Edwin gave her was for remarriage, but Joanne played a trick and changed it to being his wife for three months.When Edwin's novelty towards her wore off after three months, she could leave voluntarily to make way for his new lover.Considering this, Joanne refused to remarry him.Edwin was a
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
