Chapter 1710Edwin forced out a gentle smile. "No, I'd be thrilled if my baby is going to be a little star." "Be honest! Liars grow long noses!" Tail grunted. Despite her young age, she was a smart girl. Tail had felt strange about Edwin since Lucas had arrived. She cupped Edwin's chin in her chubby hands. "Daddy, don't be angry. Let me give you a kiss. If you keep angry, you'll get wrinkles. You're older than Mama. If you grow more wrinkles, Mama will abandon you." A second ago, Edwin was touched by Tail's comfort, but soon she hurt him again. Edwin was speechless, but his anger dissipated. Lucas was amused, too. "Miss Atherton, your dad is so handsome and he works out all the time. How will he get wrinkles? Where did you hear that from?" Tail blurted out, "Sonia. She always says Mama's skin is so delicate and that she's like twenty. When Daddy and Mama stand together, Daddy looks like Mama's uncle!" Edwin paused his step abruptly and gave off an intimidating aura.
Chapter 1711This time Sharon's public image was tarnished, and the crew terminated her contract without paying any penalties.Without waiting for Sharon to react, the relevant companies she had worked with before called to demand termination and compensation.Sharon listened to the calls. In a rage, she flung all the bottles and jars on her dressing table to the floor. The cosmetics and skin care products were scattered, and glass pieces were all over the place.The agent was hit by the glass pieces and let out a gasp. "Sharon, now is not the time to get angry. Let's think of a solution first. You just deliberately said that in front of the media. Were you trying to threaten Mr. Atherton?"Sharon's eyes were scarlet as if they were about to bleed."No, I just wanted to say that.""Oh." The agent was amazed and said angrily, "Are you not afraid of Mr. Atherton's revenge?"She had thought Sharon was trying to threaten Edwin with this hidden disease.If Edwin was willing to help
Chapter 1712The car pulled up to a secluded suburban villa.The environment was excellent, with blooming flowers and a pleasant fragrance in the air. This cluster of villas was located near the filming site, making it a desirable place to live for A-list celebrities. However, the filming location was not fixed, so only a few people would buy properties here.As Joanne stepped out of the car, she was amazed by the sight. Lucas explained, "Living in a hotel would attract reporters, so Mr. Atherton simply rented a villa.""So it is..."Joanne's words were interrupted by a magnetic, inscrutable voice from above. "Are you disappointed that I didn't buy this place?"She looked up to see Edwin leaning against the railing on the second floor. His dark shirt and vest accentuated his perfect body shape. His back was straight as he looked down at her.Sonia subconsciously touched the corner of her mouth. Fortunately, she didn't drool.Had Mr. Atherton changed? He seemed to have deliber
Chapter 1713Sharon suddenly widened her eyes, not believing it at all. This was the name of Mr. Atherton's ex-wife, wasn't it?She was said to have run away with the other man. How could she be Joanna Walters?Sharon burst out laughing, her head almost off. Then she looked at Joanne the way she looked at an idiot. "I was wondering why Mr. Atherton was suddenly hooked by you. It turns out you're crazier than me, eh? Joanna Winters… haha, Mr. Atherton, don't tell me you believe her nonsense. Joanne had eloped with a man a long time ago! How could she have come back? She's obviously a fraud."Joanne's eyes twitched. But Sharon thought she had a grip on some crucial leverage."You say you're Joanne, then you really are, eh? Even if it's true, you ran away with a man, and you aren't chaste anymore. Mr. Atherton, don't believe in such an imposter. You should be with me. I'm the one who loves you sincerely!"Edwin knitted his brows, feeling disgusted at being offended.Sharon go
Chapter 1714Joanne's face showed no mercy. "Destruction is your choice."If Sharon had been dedicated to taking care of Puffy after being chosen by Edwin and behaved herself as "Mrs. Atherton" or concentrated on improving her acting skills, she would have been able to maintain her glory.In the end, it was greed that got the better of her. From a rural town to a rich and powerful family, facing infinite temptations, she was not satisfied with just being Edwin's pawn. She became exaggeratedly greedy. Her desire finally swallowed her up.Embracing Joanne, Edwin said to Sharon with a half smile, "You should be grateful that I've become merciful after having a daughter. Otherwise, the most suitable place for you is the underground auction house."Underground Auction House...That place was a gray area on the edge of crimes.Sharon was instantly drained of her strength and sank to the floor. 'Is Joanna really Joanne? No wonder Edwin abandoned me as soon as he saw her...'Sharon sud
Chapter 1715Edwin said, “I didn’t. Tail is willing to listen to me now.”Joanne didn’t expect Edwin to be so shameless. “You haven’t spent much time with Tail yet. Are you sure that she is completely willing to listen to you? Sonia said that you convinced Tail by bribing her. You can’t educate her like that. You should reason things out to convince her.”Edwin touched his nose. “When did Sonia tell you that?”“I learned it when I called Sonia.”“Why didn’t you call me?” Edwin frowned and felt jealous.When Edwin was in Sapphire City, Joanne rarely called him. On the contrary, Edwin often called Joanne.It turned out that Joanne often called Sonia secretly...Edwin felt down.Joanne didn’t notice it at all and said seriously, “I agree to let Tail stay in the studio lot this time because I want to see if you have educated her well. You want to have a son? It’s still early to talk about it.”‘Still early? Does it mean that I have the chance to have a son with Joanne?’Edwin’s
Chapter 1716"Of course!""Then why did I hear that you thought I was full of wrinkles and not worthy of my wife?"Sonia was stunned. Her smile froze. "Absolutely not! Mr. Atherton, who said that? He was definitely lying to drive a wedge between us.""Oh," Edwin replied casually.Sonia thought he didn't trust her loyalty. How dared she gossip about her boss behind his back? That was courting death. She immediately put up three fingers, grinding her teeth."Mr. Atherton, you still haven't said who it is. If you say it, I'll go beat him up right now and carry him over for you to figure out the truth!"Edwin said evenly, "My daughter.""I'll go... Huh?" Sonia paused and swallowed silently."Where are you going?"Sonia made a wry face. "Nowhere, but I'm wronged."'Miss Atherton is a little villain. When did I say that Mr. Atherton was full of wrinkles and not worthy of his wife?'Boohoo, Miss Atherton got me in huge trouble! I take her out to play every day... How could she do
Chapter 1717"Why want a man? Our young city lord's heart is fully on her career!""I'm in tears. I seem to see Shirly, the one who won't have a good end ..." "Doesn’t anyone think that Jaden’s acting skill is not in Joanna's league? Jaden seems nothing compared to her! This time Joanna has my back. Director Freddie is really a visionary..." ...Jaden skimmed several hot news pieces in one breath and found in surprise that they were all related to Joanna. The trending topics he had bought didn't show at all. Not only that, even the previous trending topics and news about his feigning unconsciousness and being hospitalized due to exhaustion had disappeared, as if someone was deliberately suppressing his popularity. The only trending topic related to him was... the comparison of his acting skills with Joanna's!"What's going on? I bought the trending topics, didn't I? Why is Twitter full of tweets attacking me?" No sooner had he finished speaking than hashtags like #Jaden R
