Chapter 1648'That's outrageous!'Joanne quickly went to Jaden's resting room, where the assistant director was communicating with him. She said bluntly, "I have a few words to say to Mr. Raymond.""You?" The assistant director hesitated.'Jaden thinks Joanne is not famous enough. Is she here to cause trouble?'Joanne nodded solemnly. "Mr. Raymond did that because of me. You guys can go out now. If I can't reach a deal with Mr. Raymond, you can communicate with him later."The assistant director had no choice but to let Joanne talk to Jaden.Joanne took a deep breath and politely greeted Jaden, who was sitting on the sofa and playing a game on his phone. "Hi, Mr. Raymond, I'm Joanna. I'm Shirly in this drama. I heard that you felt I was not famous enough to play opposite you. Is it true?"Jaden didn't even raise his head. His agent answered rudely for him."So what if it's true? Jaden is one of the top actors nowadays. He joined 'Story in Rosch' as a favor to Director Freddie,
Chapter 1649Jaden and his celebrity agent burst out into a guffaw. Apparently, they felt that Joanne was uppity-ism.Disgusted by their laughter, Joanne left the resting room without another word.Sonia, who had been waiting for Joanne at the door, asked in a huff, "How'd it go with Jaden, Mrs. Atherton? Will he be on set?"Joanne shook her head."Sod it! Who the heck does he think he is? You're the one who deigns to film with him in a supporting role. How dare he disdain to work with you? I'll call Master Edwin and let this wretch know who's boss!""Wait. Let me do it." Joanne stopped Sonia and dialed Lucas.Such a trivial thing was not worth bothering Edwin with, and Lucas was experienced enough to deal with it.Soon, Lucas answered the phone. "Are you busy, Lucas?" Joanne asked politely.Joanne's call, in fact, took Lucas by surprise. He could not say he was busy, even if the contrary was true. "No, I'm not. What is your wish, Madam? I am yours to command.""Well, I'll not
Chapter 1650When Yosef thought of Joanne's cold smile upon leaving, his eyelids twitched.Could it be that she really knew the company's senior leaders? Although the senior leaders had to show Jaden some respect, the brokerage contract was in the hands of the company, and the one he had signed was a 15-year-long contract. After hesitating for a while, Yosef nervously answered the call."Hello? Mr. Fidelio, why do you have time today..."Before he could finish his greeting, Mr. Fidelio's scolding came through the receiver, "Yosef Zeller, if you want to die, stay far away. Don't drag me down with you! I'm warning you. Ask Jaden to return to filming immediately. If Story in Rosch doesn't turn out well, both you and Jaden shall leave. This is the first time I've seen Assistant Cooper so angry..."Yosef and Jaden were both dumbfounded. "Assistant Cooper? Who is he?""F*ck! Who is he? Can you name another one? Of course, it's Mr. Atherton's assistant! He just called the company hims
Chapter 1651Jaden was a popular actor after all. He felt humiliated when Director Freddie reprimanded him. He cast a glare at Joanne in secret. Noticing Jaden's vicious glare, Sabrina had a contemptuous smile. But at the same time, she was shocked that Jaden had come on set. "Joanna, how did you convince Jaden to come shooting?" From Jaden's glare, Sabrina guessed he was still feeling indignant. Instead of telling Sabrina that she had complained to Lucas about Jaden, Joanne replied, "Everyone has to be reasonable. I talked to him. I told him that if he threw a tantrum again, I would expose the bad things he had done to the public. I guess he was worried his fans would abandon him, so here he is." "Are you kidding me?" Sabrina rolled her eyes toward Joanne. If Jaden really cared about his public image, Eclipse Worldwide Entertainment wouldn't need a PR team. Literally, as long as Jaden didn't kill people or do drugs, his company's PR team could settle everything f
Chapter 1652"What? Apologize?" The man laughed wildly and cursed, "Do you know who I am? Want me to apologize? She won't hear it! Guys, come on. Kill him!" Several men dressed as demons swarmed toward Rolando. Rolando's expression gradually turned cold, and then he beat these people with simple but fierce attacks. Soon, those people knelt down and begged for mercy. "Apologize," Rolando repeated more coldly. These people kowtowed and apologized to the shopkeeper of Elefante Restaurant and his daughter. They also compensated for the loss. Rolando put away his long sword, "Go away." These evil men grabbed their machetes and were about to go out, but when they bowed their heads, their eyes became fierce. At this time, the camera turned to Shirly again. Shirly put down her wine cup, looking interested and disdainful as if she had seen her prey. Even without any words, her dislike of Rolando was obvious at the moment. She thought his kindness was foolish. When her win
Chapter 1653"Action director, please instruct him again." Angry, Director Freddie asked the action director to tell Jaden how to fight and arranged for the doctor to treat Joanne's scratch.Although the scratch was not serious, the back of her hand would be filmed several times later. If it got inflamed, the filming would be affected... Sabrina didn't plan to let the matter go. She walked to Director Freddie with a sneer and whispered a few words to him.Though frowning, Director Freddie finally nodded. "Okay. I'll film from a different angle later.""Thank you." Sabrina smiled, shot a glance at Jaden and moved back to Joanne.Curious, Joanne asked, "Sabrina, what did you say to Director Freddie?""Nothing. I just taught someone how to film." Sabrina looked at the scratch on Joanne's hand with sympathy, feeling thankful at the same time. "Fortunately, you dodged so swiftly that your face wasn't scratched..."Joanne pressed her lips. Though she knew that her complaint to Luca
Chapter 1654But then she wondered if he had fallen asleep with Tail.At that, she hung up the phone and planned to give him a video call tomorrow.She put away her phone and headed back to her room when her phone rang. As soon as she answered the phone, the cool, magnetic voice of the man came through the speaker. "Finally remember to call me?"Joanne was at a loss for words. 'Why does this man sound so aggrieved?'"I didn't mean to disturb your and Tail's sleep," she said reflexively. "I dialed your number by mistake."With that, she intended to hang up the phone.Edwin spoke quickly. "Wrong number? Who did you want to call?"Now Joanne was certain she hadn't heard it wrong.His tone was indeed aggrieved.It somehow delighted her.He must have been looking forward to her calling him."I wanted to call Tina and ask her if Tail behaved at school."Tina was taking care of Tail. She was young, less than 20, and there wasn't a big generation gap between Tail and her. They got
Chapter 1655Joanne argued, "I thought you were busy with work, so I didn't want to bother you with such a trifle thing." "Everything that concerns you is a top priority to me." Joanne showed a smile. Although Edwin often said sweet things to her, she was still happy when she heard Edwin make such a promise on the phone. "Okay. Next time I have a problem, I'll tell you for the first time, okay?" "How was Jaden doing afterwards?" Edwin asked. "I guess Lucas took care of that. Even though Jaden is a popular actor, he won’t risk his career. After Lucas talked to him, he became quite cooperative. The director said I was a talented actress and that I was great in the role." "I know you're the best. He’s lucky to have you portray Shiryly." Edwin's anger dissipated and then he gently asked, "I was rude to you. Did I scare you?" "No, I know you were worried about me." Joanne let out a breath of relief. They started talking about something else. Later, they talked about Tai
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
