Chapter 1548Edwin became even more languid and composed upon seeing Jack in a state of agitation and frustration.He casually put his hand into his pocket, and his nonchalant demeanor formed a sharp contrast with Jack's rage."I have a stake in this restaurant. I'm hungry, so I just come and have something to eat."Edwin walked slowly to the dining table by the window and picked up the menu as if he really wanted to order food.Jack's dislike for Edwin had now turned into hatred. "Nonsense! I specifically checked this restaurant, and you have nothing to do with it. Where is the security? Kick him out!"The restaurant manager instantly came over when he heard Jack's roar.He looked uneasy, with sweat pouring down his forehead."Mr. Brown, just five minutes ago, Mr. Atherton bought the biggest shareholder's stock in our restaurant, so... he really is our boss now."Jack immediately flew into a rage, and now he understood Edwin's intention.To ruin his carefully prepared love c
Chapter 1549Although Joanne's face did not show revulsion, her faint frown indicated that Jack's confession of love today was hopeless.The culprit of all this was Edwin.Jack swung his fist toward Edwin again in anger."Edwin, I'll kill you today!"Edwin sneered, took off his suit jacket, and wrestled with Jack.The two punched each other, and the dull sound of fist and flesh colliding could be heard.They fought fiercely in the hall, knocking over a lot of tables, chairs, and benches. Joanne hurriedly asked the staff to separate them.But the two men even hit the staff.Edwin suddenly rolled over, pinned Jack to the ground, held his collar with one hand, and pressed one knee against his abdomen."Who do you think you are? A playboy with countless women outside! You're not qualified to steal my wife. Listen, Joanne and I won't get a divorce. Don't even think about it."Jack's face bled, and he got a black eye, but he was still aggressive."Pooh! You scum, if you hadn't us
Chapter 1550And Tail was just scared. She didn’t get hurt. What could Edwin do? He could only reprimand his father. Joanne didn't care about that. Joanne and Jack got in the car together and left. Edwin mused, 'Even if our marriage is temporary, shouldn't she respect our marriage?' He wanted to ask Joanne the question, but she's already gone. It was unclear whether the billboard incident was due to Harry's order. Edwin was afraid it was, so he didn't dare to be tough with Joanne. Edwin wiped the blood off the corner of his mouth and put on a bitter smile. He picked up his suit from the ground and headed out. Lucas pulled up in front of the restaurant. He was waiting for Edwin, an anxious look on his face. As he was about to call Edwin, Edwin came out with a grim face. "Mr. Atherton?" Lucas asked in surprise, "How did you get hurt?" "I'm fine. Take me to my father's villa." Edwin got into the car and ordered. Lucas was hesitant to tell Edwin what he had
Chapter 1551Joanne broke out in a cold sweat. She could even hear her heart pounding with panic.Just then, a nurse approached, holding a letter."Excuse me, are you Joanne Winters? Someone asked me to give this to you."Joanne snatched the envelope and tore it open.As she read the contents, her vision blurred and she stumbled backward.Her head hit the wall with a thud, causing her to cry out in pain. Her heart twisted with worry.Ada saw Joanne's distress and felt a pang of guilt, distress, and suspicion."Whose letter is this? What does it say?"Ada took the letter from Joanne's hand and read the single sentence inside."Your daughter is in my hands."Ada's face paled. She grabbed the nurse's hand and asked urgently, "Who gave you this letter? Was he holding a little girl? Where is he now?"The nurse didn't know, and Ada's grip on her wrist made her frightened. "He gave me a hundred dollars and asked me to give the letter to Ms. Winters. He was wearing a hat and mask,
Chapter 1552Lying on Harry, the young model was feeding a grape to him with her mouth.The servants were busy cleaning, who had been used to Harry's decadent life. When the doorbell rang, a maid went to open the door.The moment the door opened, she saw two men and two women barge in angrily, getting stunned."You... Who are you? What do you want to do?" the maid said. "Where's Harry?" Joanne asked straightforwardly.The maid became alert and asked back, "Why do you want to meet Mr. Atherton?""Is he not here?" With a hardened face, Joanne gave a threatening vibe.It was the vibe that every mother would emanate when her child was harmed. The vibe consisted of rage and anxiety.Sensing Joanne's unkindness, the maid was highly nervous."Mr. Atherton, he..." Before the maid could finish speaking, Joanne impatiently pushed her away and rushed into the living room.The maid hurriedly called other servants to help while trying to prevent Joanne from breaking in. "Miss, you can
Chapter 1553"Fine, just call the police. I'll tell them that you almost hit me and my daughter by tampering with the billboard and that you threatened me. If word of this spreads, you'll hit the headlines of entertainment news tomorrow."Harry's face darkened. He was not afraid of exposure.Yet if things got big, he wouldn't get any benefits."Let me repeat it. I did not abduct your daughter. You are not looking for your lost daughter, but making trouble for me. The longer you delay in my place, the more dangerous your daughter's situation will be."Seeing Harry deny it, Ada yelled with a gloomy face, "You old bastard! Kidnapping a child is criminal. Stop pretending. Except you, who else would kidnap Tail?" Harry got angry. He admitted that he had threatened Joanne before, but this time, Tail's disappearance had nothing to do with him. However, they came to his door to slander him. Harry felt it was a blatant provocation."Your daughter deserved to be kidnapped because she has
Chapter 1554"Edwin?" said Harry, stunned. A nervous scowl flashed across his eyes. 'Damn! When did he come? How much did he hear in our conversation? He didn’t hear that I had let someone to murder Joanne, did he?' Harry was anxious as an ant on a hot pan, but he tried his best not to show it. He let out a groan of pain. "Edwin, you're finally back. Look at this woman! She's so rude! Not only did she humiliate me, but she let her men beat me up. It would be a joke if you kept her in our family." The next second, Edwin let out a sneer, "So you cursed Tail to be killed?" "I'm just mad. I didn’t mean it." Harry tried desperately to hide his panic. "I didn't know her daughter. She brought these men to threaten me, so I was out of my mind. Edwin, you're my son. You should be on my side!" "I'm your son, but Tail is my daughter!" Edwin clenched his fists tightly. He suppressed his anger and walked over to Joanne. After the argument with Harry earlier, Joanne was really
Chapter 1555Just when Harry was considering whether to take some action, Edwin ordered, "Lucas, ask a team of people to guard the villa, confiscate Mr. Atherton Sr.’s phone, and strictly check all suspicious communications. From now on, no one is allowed to leave the villa."This was literally imprisonment!Harry was so angry that he couldn't even breathe. He covered his chest with one hand and pointed at Edwin with the other trembling hand. "Bastard, I told you that I didn't kidnap that little girl. How can you treat your father this way for an outsider? Aren't you afraid of divine retribution?"Harry was pissed off.Edwin didn't show any respect for Harry. If words went out, he would become a joke of the town.Hearing this, Edwin kicked the coffee table in front angrily, which slid half a meter away and bumped into a sofa with a bang.Harry was shocked.The young model even screamed in horror and hid in Harry’s arms.Now everyone realized that Edwin was in a rage.Edwin ga
