Chapter 1730The stool beside Edwin's feet suddenly fell down with a thud.Hearing the sound, all the crew members became frightened. They observed Edwin's expression, trying to tell his current emotions. But his face gave nothing away.The crew members began to feel guilty one after another and planned an excuse for leaving. "Mr. Atherton, Director Freddie, sorry, I have to leave because there is still some work to do..." A crew member walked away.As he took the lead, more and more crew members went away with an excuse. "I haven't designed the clothes that Mr. Raymond is going to wear tomorrow...""My stomach hurts. I'll go to the bathroom! Bye."After a while, almost all the crew members left, except Shelby and the man who had spoken for Joanne. Just when they were about to ease the atmosphere, Joanne turned on the karaoke machine in the room and pulled the executive director to stand in front of the screen. She uttered, "Isn't today my birthday? Why is it so quiet? I wa
Chapter 1731Edwin was intensely surprised. 'What did she just say?'She said she loves me!'She married me because of love!'People always tell their innermost thoughts when they are drunk. So, she does love me!'As Edwin was overcome by great surprise and joy, his expression was fixed on his face. He stared at Joanne without even blinking."Joanne, happy birthday," he uttered.Director Freddie and the others could only see Edwin and Joanna embrace closely and whisper, none of whom could hear the talk between them. Shelby and the others were gazing at the two of them in shock. 'Joanna is rude to Mr. Atherton, but he doesn't push her away! Does Mr. Atherton like her in the first place?' Shelby thought.At this moment, the cake ordered by Jaden arrived. The huge fruit cake was originally made for twenty people.However, most of the staff had left.The remaining people urged Joanna to make a wish and then blow out the candles.As the window was opened, the cool wind blew o
Chapter 1732Edwin carried Joanne up in arms and then glanced at the waiter. "Open the door!"The doorknob was turned. Hearing the sound, Sonia attempted to hide herself and Tail at once, but she failed. The smile froze on her face the moment she saw Edwin and Joanne over her shoulder. "Hi... Mr. Atherton, Mrs. Atherton. Good evening," Sonia said.As Sonia was guilty and stuck for words, Tail turned over, encircled Sonia's neck, and gave her a smack on the cheeks suddenly.Tail muttered, "Sonia, let's continue drinking. The fruit wine is so delicious. I love it very much..."Why are there stars in the sky?"Er... Are they Daddy and Mama? "Mama is lying in Daddy's arms, and I'll lie down, too! I'll be a good girl and sleep..."Then Tail began humming a song that only she could understand. She tilted her head, with her eyes misty."Sonia, what have you done?" Edwin yelled with fury, looking like a demon. At his yell, Sonia shook violently, as if encountering an apocalypse.
Chapter 1733Shelby laughed with her mouth, not with her eyes. "One man's meat is another man's poison."At her words, the man got stuck. Before he could speak, Shelby sneered, "From your perspective, probably all the things between men and women are dirty, right? "Well, I have to go. Goodbye, directors," Shelby said to all the directors in the room."You..." The man's face hardened suddenly. Glaring at Shelby's back, he snapped very nastily, "I've just made a few guesses. Don't pretend to be pure. If you didn't want to seduce Mr. Atherton, why didn't you leave earlier? You must get angry and ashamed for not having allured him. Do you really think you're still a noble lady? I've heard that your family is about to go bankrupt due to Mr. Vesley..."The man deliberately raised his voice to let Shelby hear him.Clenching her fists, Shelby paused temporarily, but then she returned to her normal speed, pretending that nothing had happened.Instead of leaving the restaurant right away
Chapter 1734As the man spoke, he took out his wallet and pulled out all the cash, which should be at least a few thousand. Shelby glanced at the money disdainfully. The money was not enough for her to buy a bottle of skincare products, but this man actually dared to say he wanted to sleep with her. Shelby asked in her heart, ‘Elliot, the Greyson family owes you, but I don't owe you. How many people will you use to trample on my dignity?’ Suddenly, she raised her eyes and showed a charming smile. The man was stunned because of her beauty, and the sap was rising in him. He felt he would have a nosebleed. Shelby took the money from the man's hand and counted them. The ink smell on the paper money slowly came to her nose. The man wanted to put his arm around her waist, but this time, Shelby's face suddenly changed, and she threw the money on the man's head without saying a word... Dozens of paper money fluttered in the air and then fluttered down. A stack of paper money was n
Chapter 1735Shelby said ironically, "You looked like a tortoise I saw this morning." The executive director sandwiched between Shelby and Elliot secretly gasped, and his forehead was oozing cold sweat. He thought, ‘It’s said that Elliot and the Greyson family are enemies. However, Shelby actually dares to provoke Elliot like this. Isn't she afraid that Elliot will kill her in a fit of anger?’ "Which hand touched her?" Unexpectedly, while the executive director was thinking, an indifferent voice came from the top of his head. The man was stunned and raised his eyes in astonishment, doubting that he had misheard. "I'll go now," Shelby didn’t want to continue to listen to their conversation, so she turned around and walked away. Soon after, there was a mournful and shrill scream in the corridor. That man repeatedly begged for mercy, "Mr. Vesley, please forgive me. I haven't touched Shelby’s body. I really wanted to defend you. Please forgive me..." "If you don’t answer me,
Chapter 1736Elliot's eyes suddenly were filled with anger. He grabbed Shelby's collar and roared, "Shut up! Don't call me brother! I don't have a father like him. My father died a long time ago. Shelby, didn't you refuse to call me brother? Now, in order to plead for your father, you no longer refuse. Where is your pride in being a daughter of the Greyson family?" "It has left. Is it all right?" Shelby took a deep breath. The collar strangled her neck, making it difficult for her to breathe, "What on earth do you need me to do to let my father go?" "Did he let my mother go when my mother begged him?" Elliot was even more indifferent and angrier. He smiled evilly, looking like a demon. Then he threw Shelby away and uttered, "In the cold winter, I knelt on the ground and begged him for help, did he take another look at me? Since he is heartless, why should I let him go? All this is retribution. I will let you live well in the entertainment circle and let you know what a person wi
Chapter 1737Tail bit her finger pitifully, and her cheeks were slightly bulging. Although she was a little scared, she couldn't help but wonder, "I clearly remember that I was on the balcony. Why did I wake up here? Daddy, did I do something?" She put her shoes on her dad's face! But how could Edwin tell her daughter this? At this time, Lucas pushed the door with hot milk and said with a hint of ridicule in his tone, "Tail, last night, you kept asking to go to the moon to see the stars. You also said you wanted to sing, act, and even get naked." "Ah?" Tail stared at Edwin nervously and asked hurriedly, "Did I make a fool of myself? None of you can remember. I order you to forget all about it! But is Daddy so angry because I did that?" As soon as Lucas wanted to tell Tail about her embarrassing behaviors after she got drunk, he received Edwin's cold gaze. "You seem to have a lot of time? There is a project in Africa that needs a person in charge. You have an excellent memor
