Chapter 1721Joanne refused again. "It's not Edwin. It's me. I can't accept such an expensive gift." "If you think the necklace is too expensive, I can give you something else. Don't feel pressured." How could Joanne not feel pressured? If it was before, Joanne might hesitate and not know how to tell Jack. But after all these days with Edwin, she was sure that she loved Edwin, so she was straight forward with Jack and told him how she felt. She took a deep breath and then said, "I'm not going to be with you no matter what you do for me. Jack, don't waste your time on me." "All I'm asking is are we still friends?" Jack asked firmly. He hid his frustration. "We are friends." But just friends. "We're friends, but you refused to accept my gift. Are you forcing me to stay away from you? I was just messing with you. Seeing you with Edwin, I'm happy for you. The necklace is my birthday present to you..." Over the phone, Joanne couldn't hear the bitterness in Jack’s he
Chapter 1722Tail was about to shoot the first scene of her life. She wanted to play a pretty girl, but after dressing up, she found her costume was sloppy. When Shirly was a little girl, her father had great expectations for her. He wanted her to take his place and take the responsibility of guarding Ice Land when she grew up. She couldn't enjoy her parents' love like the other kids did. Her father threw her into slavery when she was three years old, so she had to find a way to survive. Shirly's childhood was pathetic. Although being dressed raggedly, Tail was excited. She listened intently as Director Freddie explained the scene. Today's scene was simple. Tail had three scenes. In the first scene, little Shirly was brutally separated from her mother by her father and thrown into a slavery group. Tail had to act out the pain that little Shirly felt when she was separated from her mother. In the second scene, little Shirly was fighting for food with a group of child
Chapter 1723Right after Director Freddie called 'cut', Tail immediately jumped up from the actress' arms. A second ago, she was crying pathetically. There were still tears on her face, but now she now asked with an expectant look on her face, "Uncle Freddie, how was it? Is it okay? Should we reshoot it?" Director Freddie was happy with the scene. He didn't even need to see the clip again. He was very glad. "Very good. Tail, you're a talented actress!" "Thank you, Uncle Freddie. Make sure I look pretty on camera." Tail blushed a little at the compliments from the director. Just as she covered her face with her hands, she suddenly realized that her makeup was ruined by her tears. She rushed to the makeup artist. Even though her character was a poor child, she wanted to look pretty for the camera. Seeing this scene, Joanne abruptly paused her step. She had mixed feelings inside. She thought Tail was really sad. However, the girl was just acting. ... The first scene
Chapter 1724Joanne said with a faint smile, "Charlie, it‘s not necessary to be the lead role. What matters is the role suits you. You're so handsome and your character has a rich personality! You can use this opportunity to portray a wonderful character. Let's give it a try. What do you think?" Charlie was kind of persuaded, but he grunted, "You are just trying to persuade me to be her supporting character! You said that because you can't be the lead actress!" "Have you checked Twitter? Jaden's the leading actor, while I'm the supporting actor, but there are more topics about me on Twitter. Which would you rather have between an unimpressive lead and an impressive supporting role?" Joanne asked Charlie. She was bending towards the little boy. 'The boy is spoiled by his family! He is oblivious to all the staff. Everyone is suffering in the sun because of him.' Charlie rolled his eyes and didn't say anything. Joanne guessed that Charlie had taken her advice. She then gav
Chapter 1725Meanwhile, Edwin got off his private jet and arrived at a private island. He took out his cell phone and saw Joanne's message. He felt humiliated when he learned that on Joanne's birthday, the other guys sent her gifts before him. Edwin was not angry with Joanne. He regretted that he wasn't the first guy to give her a present, so he spent the whole morning preparing a romantic and grand birthday party for Joanne. Finally, everything was almost ready. He took a break and was content with his work. Just then, he saw Joanne's message and immediately, his eyes burned with anger. 'Who transferred the money to Joanne and it was such a number?'... Not receiving a reply from Edwin, Joanne felt it was weird. If Edwin had transferred the money to her, surely, he would have replied to her. 'Did I make a mistake again?' Joanne then remembered that she could use the bank app to check who transferred the money to her. She clicked on the app. Just as she was abou
Chapter 1726When Joanne chatted with Edwin in the past, Edwin always had a lot of things to talk about with her.Edwin resignedly replied with more words!Edwin: [I’m not available now.]Joanne felt annoyed and bit her lower lip. She was sure that he was angry with her.He even gave her the silent treatment!She apologized to him and pleased him, but he didn’t buy it at all!She had been curious about what Edwin was doing but hadn’t asked him yet. Finally, she typed to ask him anxiously.Joanne: [Didn’t you come to the studio backlot to see me? It seems that you’re even busier than me. What are you busy with?]Distrust and suspicion were the enemies of couples.‘We have just remarried, but he gives me the silent treatment for such a trivial matter.’After a few seconds, Edwin replied to her but still didn’t answer her question explicitly.Edwin: [Don’t think too much. As soon as I’m available, I will be right back to accompany you.]Joanne put her hands on the keyboard an
Chapter 1727Shelby came up to Joanne, handed a delicately packed box to Joanne, and said with a smile, “Thank you for helping me last time. Happy birthday.”Hearing Shelby’s sincere wish, Joanne smiled at Shelby and felt surprised.‘Why does Shelby know when my birthday is? She even has prepared the gift for me.’Shelby saw through Joanne’s thoughts and said, “In showbiz, there are no secrets.”‘Shelby is right. I even posted it online.’Joanne opened the box. A beautiful bangle was inside. It was shining under the sunset glow. Joanne was stunned by it and thanked Shelby sincerely, “I like it very much.”“Joanna, I also have prepared a gift for you.” A male worker of the shooting team walked towards Joanne and handed her a gift.Joanne looked at him appreciatively. “Thank you.”As soon as Joanne finished speaking, more people gave gifts to her. Finally, she was even unable to hold the gifts. Sabrina and Sonia helped her. Joanne didn’t expect so many people to prepare gifts fo
Chapter 1728After Tail swallowed the fruit wine down, she tasted a delicate fragrance. Her eyes lit up. She fixed her eyes on Sonia. “It’s yummy. I would like to drink more.”Sonia was in a dilemma and frowned. She seized the chance and bargained with Tail, “Then you can’t speak ill of me in front of Mr. Atherton anymore.”“I didn’t speak ill of you in front of dad.” Tail blinked innocently.Tail looked adorable with watery eyes.Sonia clearly felt that her heart beat faster.‘No! I can’t look at Tail anymore. She’s so adorable!’Sonia pinched her thigh and almost burst into tears. “Indeed, you didn’t speak ill of me in front of your dad, but you didn’t put in a good word for me either. A few days ago, you said that Mr. Atherton’s face was wrinkly and that he was not worthy of Ms. Winters. Of course, Mr. Atherton was angry with me.”Tail pouted and said seriously, “I see. I will put in a good word for you in front of dad next time.”“You’re so smart.”When no one paid attent
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
