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 1497Edwin saw Joanne's shocked expression and knew she had misunderstood him."Ahem..." Joanne sized him up strangely. "Mr. Atherton, you're really far-sighted. You even predicted that I would have my period at this time."Edwin turned his back to her with a hint of embarrassment on his face. "Why don't you go inside and put it on? Are you waiting for me to help you?""OK."Joanne went back to the bathroom, hesitating.She thought, "Should I put it on or not? It's still summer. I'm asking for trouble."In a day or two, she would find an excuse to go to the shooting base for training. Then, Edwin would not be able to control her. Thinking of this, Joanne quickly put on a maxi pad. When she came out, she deliberately held the wall, looking weak.Edwin frowned, bent down to pick her up, and walked toward the master bedroom.Joanne knew she couldn't break free, so she didn't bother to struggle. She bit her lip, pretending to be in pain.Edwin put Joanne back on the big b
Chapter 1498Joanne didn't say anything else. She pulled out a chair and sat down at the table. Seeing the bland look on Joanne's face, Edwin showed an upset look in his eyes. He too got seated gracefully across from her. "Did you sleep well last night?" Joanne rubbed her neck and replied, "Yes. Did you carry me to bed?" Edwin lifted his cup of milk. He unconsciously gripped the cup tighter. "Isn't the bed big enough? Why are you sleeping on the couch?" Joanne didn't change her face. She had already thought of an excuse. "I'm on my period. I didn't want to stain the sheet, and I had to go to the bathroom at night. I didn't want to wake you up." Jadyn overheard their conversation and wondered why Mrs. Atherton had slept on the couch last night. When Jaydyn went to their bedroom in the morning, Joanne was lying in bed in Edwin's arms. Jadyn smiled and said, "Mrs. Atherton, it doesn’t matter if the sheet gets stained. I can get it clean. If the stain can’t be cl
Chapter 1499Joanne shook her head and declined when Edwin suggested taking her shopping for clothes and shoes. "I have enough clothes and shoes to wear. There is no need to buy more."Edwin stifled the urge to confide in her and, ignoring her protests, yanked her into the car. "Drive to the central mall," he instructed the driver. "I need to buy some clothes for my wife."Joanne bristled at Edwin's blatant disregard for her opinion. Her eyes blazing with resentment, she glared at him.Edwin's gaze swept over her plain jacket and dark jeans. Her clothes were too common. Pursing his lips in disapproval, he said, "Your clothes are shabby and lack style."Joanne clenched her fists, retorting, "I didn't force you to look at me."Edwin's voice rang out in the car. "You're my wife now. If you lose face, so do I."…Joanne bit back a retort. "This is called frugality, and not everyone shares the values of the wealthy as you do.""Most of the clothes in your closet are worn once
Chapter 1500Joanne's face was devoid of emotion. "What are you trying to say?""Mr. Atherton's ex-wife is Joanne, and your name is Joanna. So, you know what I mean. He pays attention to you only because he sees you as a replacement for his ex-wife."Joanne sneered, "Allow me to correct you. He pays a lot of attention to me.""Joanna! Have you no shame? Mr. Atherton only sees you as a stand-in!""I'm a stand-in, yet you're jealous of me." Joanne wasn't one to back down, and her tone turned forceful. "Doesn't that mean that even a stand-in is better than you?""You're sharp-tongued, aren't you? No wonder Sharon lost to you."Disdain filled Noah's eyes as she dropped her pretense.She slowly approached Joanne and leaned in slightly. Her lips close to Joanne's ear, she sneered, "But now your opponent is me. Speaking of which, I should thank you for helping me get rid of that idiot."Over the past four years, Noah had used countless methods to drive Sharon away from Edwin.But Sh
Chapter 1501Because of their exceptionally good looks, they caught the attention of many passersby. Edwin‘s casual attitude immediately disappeared. With his face turning cold, he emitted an aura of aloofness that kept people at bay.Even from several meters away, Joanne felt as if the temperature had dropped by several degrees. She was just about to watch the scene as a bystander, but Edwin suddenly looked over in her direction. Before she could even avert her gaze, their eyes met.His cold gaze even made Joanne's breath stop for a few seconds.In the next instant, under the dubious gaze of onlookers, Edwin strode past the pretty girl and walked straight towards Joanne.Joanne suddenly became the center of everyone's attention.She subconsciously wanted to retrieve her mask and put it on, but before she could, Edwin had already reached her.His tall figure cast a faint shadow, completely enveloping her.Edwin stretched out to hold Joanne in his arms and whispered in her ear
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
