Chapter 1559The kidnappers looked at each other. Although Tail would be killed, before they got the money, they had to ensure her safety. Otherwise, if Joanne wanted to hear Tail's voice, it would be tricky.So Scarface asked, "Captain, how should we deal with the little girl?""It's just a tummy ache. It's not like she's dying of cancer. Are you going to find a doctor for her?"Scarface was embarrassed. "This is the middle of nowhere. Where can I find a doctor?""I really feel bad..." Tail listened to their conversation, looking at them pitifully with wet eyes. "Even if you can't find a doctor, can you untie me? I can't breathe."The kidnappers' first reaction was to refuse. Although the little girl was short, if she escaped, it would be very troublesome.Tail's small face was red, her forehead was sweaty, and her hands were tied behind her back. She looked as if out of breath. The leader of the kidnappers frowned and finally agreed."Untie her."Tail whimpered. After she wa
Chapter 1560The kidnapper's face was pale from the violent impact on his abdomen, and he arched his back on the ground, unable to say a word for a long time.Edwin did not let him go, half squatting in front of the kidnapper. Edwin pressed the tip of his shoe against the kidnapper's neck, easily making him unable to breathe. The kidnapper's face was twisted in pain, and above his head, Edwin asked menacingly, "Let me repeat it. Where is my daughter?""I'll tell you..." The kidnapper held Edwin's trouser leg with both hands and said with difficulty, "She ran away from there... We didn't do anything to her. Please let me go..."Edwin didn't have time to continue interrogating who had hired them. He handed the man over to Eason."Mr. Atherton, don't worry. I will get everything he knows out of him," Eason said with a fake smile.After so many years as a bodyguard, he was becoming more and more intimidating.Ignoring Scarface's shriek, Edwin walked to the small hole. Indeed, it see
Chapter 1561"Forget about them. Let's go back first, okay?"They drove back toward the city. The road was bumpy, and Tail stopped talking after getting in the car. Afraid that Tail was traumatized, Joanne told her many stories of brave heroines.Gradually, Tail felt safe. "They are very awesome.""So are you, Tail..." Joanne gently wiped away Tail's tears and coaxed her.Tail hung her head in embarrassment. She felt she was not awesome enough because she was scared at the sight of blood and Edwin rushing in with an angry face.In terror, she subconsciously ran away from there, but luckily, she met her mom.At this time, Joanne's cell phone rang.Seeing that Joanne was holding Tail with both hands, Ada took the initiative to answer it. The person on the other end of the line was Edwin. Ada mouthed at Joanne."Did you pick up Tail? How is she? Was she hurt?" Edwin asked eagerly and nervously.Joanne could hear his concern. "We've picked up Tail. She was not hurt, but she was s
Chapter 1562Previously, Edwin thought that Tail was Joanne and Patrick's daughter, but now Edwin looked closely at Tail, feeling that she resembled him.Tail's small nose, big eyes, beautiful lips...Edwin smiled tenderly as he walked up to Joanne and Tail."I've come to take you two home."Joanne was taken aback by the familiar sexy voice from behind her. She turned her head and saw Edwin and Lucas.Seeing the expectant smile on Edwin's face, Joanne thought for a moment and said, "Tail has just been rescued. I want her to stay in a familiar environment."The moment he was refused, Edwin's handsome face darkened slightly, but he restrained his temper and said, "Then how long do you plan to stay?""It depends on Tail's condition.""Are you deliberately avoiding me?" Edwin's voice carried dissatisfaction. He stared at Joanne, saying, "Tail is my daughter, and you are my wife. We're a family. I promised to get Tail back. Do you still not believe my feelings for you?"Joanne fel
Chapter 1563Certainly, Edwin felt frustrated, but he didn't give up. "Tail, I'm not a bad guy. I'm your daddy." Edwin showed the most flattering smile, but it was too fawning to look sincere. "You're lying!" Tail didn't believe him. She didn't like the fawning smile on Edwin's face. When she did live stream, sometimes she would force a smile which was much more natural than the one on Edwin's face right now. Tail turned her head away from him and muttered, "My stepfather is Jack, not you." Edwin was speechless. Tail then clung to Joanne. With a blushed face, she pouted and said, "Mama, I don't like it when you kiss him. Don’t kiss him again!" Joanne let out a light cough of embarrassment. She couldn’t believe she had let Edwin kiss her in front of Tail and Ada! "Let me give you a kiss too." Joanne gave Tail a quick kiss on the forehead. Tail pouted. She was not happy. 'Why did the bad guy kiss Mama on the lips, but Mama only kissed me on the forehead?' Ada
Chapter 1564Edwin froze. He narrowed his eyes and raised his eyebrows, a wicked smile at the corner of his mouth. "Why are you so needy all of a sudden?" Realizing that Edwin got the wrong idea, Joanne said in embarrassment, "Why are you taking off your pants? I'm asking for your jacket." The sound of the belt buckle popping open was particularly clear in the quiet car. Edwin answered, "You told me to take off my clothes. I usually take off my pants first." Joanne knew Edwin was deliberately teasing her. She rolled her eyes at him and said, "Tail won't like your pants. They're stinky." Edwin then realized that Joanne wanted to put his jacket over Tail's body. It was late at night. Even with the heat in the car, Tail might easily catch a cold. Edwin hurriedly took the opportunity to familiarize Tail with his smell and immediately covered his jacket over Tail. Tail seemed to sense the smell she didn't like in her sleep, and she grumbled a little, but she didn't ope
Chapter 1565"Tail's bedroom was decorated in a hurry. There is still a lot of stuff that we need to buy later. We can choose the furniture according to Tail's preference later." Edwin said when he wrapped his arms around Joanne's waist from behind. Joanne immediately tried to remove Edwin's arms. She blushed terribly. "Edwin..." "Call my name once again." Edwin was still holding her. He rubbed his chin against her collarbone. "I really like it when you call my name, like you're inviting me to do something." Joanne didn't dare shout at him. She was afraid they would wake up Tail, so she whispered a warning, "Tail hasn't accepted you yet, and I haven't forgiven you. If you ever act like this again, I'll move out tomorrow." "Don't even think about it." Edwin took her earlobe in his mouth and whispered, "Now that you're back with me, you're my woman. You can't move out! And where do you want to move to, Jack's house?" Suddenly, Edwin bit her earlobe and hissed, "How cou
Chapter 1566"When they cased the place before they kidnaped Tail, they found that your relationship with Ms. Winters wasn't simple, so they changed their mind and asked for ransom."A trace of murderousness flashed through Edwin's eyes.Eason's words were clear. The kidnappers wanted to kill Tail at first.'No...'It's not that simple.'When Tail was kidnaped, Joanne took it for granted that my father did that. She even rushed to my father's villa angrily.'If Tail were killed, the conflict between Joanne and my father would be more acute than ever.'The manipulator wants to kill my daughter, stop me from being reconciled with Joanne, and sow discord between my father and Joanne...'"I have investigated all the clues but haven't found out the manipulator's identity yet. Mr. Atherton, how do you want to deal with Scarface?"Edwin narrowed his eyes. His gaze was filled with coldness. "When he hurt my daughter, he was a dead man."Eason was shocked. He clearly understood Edwin
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
