Chapter 1742Edwin stared at Joanne and caressed her cheek, "Take a rest. The makeup artist will do your makeup later. I'll arrange the arrangements for your birthday party in the evening." Then he turned around and was about to leave, but suddenly, Edwin's hand was held by Joanne. Joanne was moved to tears, "I originally thought that my birthday this year would be very dull in the crew. At most, I thought you would accompany me and sing a birthday song for me. Then I cooked a wonderful candlelight dinner for us. But I didn't expect... You made such a grand occasion!""No, it's not grand enough!" Edwin's sexy voice was mixed with dissatisfaction, "If we don't keep our relationship secret, I can let the whole country witness your birthday..." Joanne chuckled, "Why do I feel like I am a siren who wasted a lot of money?" "Yes, you are. And you have disturbed my heart."The golden warm sunlight sprinkled down, which made Joanne could not see Edwin’s handsome face clearly. ...
Chapter 1743'A flash drive?' Joanne was also curious about what was on it. She had the housekeeper bring in the laptop. There was a huge projector in the bedroom. All she had to do was use Bluetooth connectivity and project the contents on the flash drive on the screen.Joanne plugged the flash drive into the port. Tail had taken off her shoes and ran to the couch to sit obediently. She had her little chin in her hands, her eyes twinkling.The sound came out before the picture. First, there was light and romantic piano music...It was accompanied by a pleasant gurgling sound."Joanne, happy birthday." A line of large, white, bold, italicized words emerged in the middle of the black screen.Joanne looked nervously at the projection with anticipation.She thought, 'Did he record this video to confess his love?'In an instant, the screen suddenly brightened. The background looked like the entrance to a large hotel.In the fountain pool stood a white sculpture that spread its arm
Chapter 1744What Joanne didn't expect was the next scene! In the mental hospital, Noah was tied to the hospital bed, her hair was almost lost, wearing a caramel hat and looking haggard. She forced a smile to the camera, "Joanne, happy birthday. You win. You are the winner!" Joanne didn't know how Edwin let Noah bless her with a smile... For Noah, nothing was more desperate than to see her rival’s happiness. Not to mention, she had to bless Joanne herself. At this moment, Noah must feel she would rather die. ...Then Joanne got a lot of blessings. Her colleagues, her friends, and the servants were all in the video. The thing that shocked Joanne the most was that Edwin actually found her father!It had been more than ten years since she ran out of her family, but Edwin still recorded her father's blessing for her! Joanne's eyes suddenly turned wet, and she thought, ‘Is it because he doesn't want me to have regrets today?’ She had no relatives, so he found her fath
Chapter 1745Ten seconds later, Tail simply said, "Okay, I got it!""What charades are you making?" Seeing that Tail agreed to Edwin and immediately hung up without giving her a chance to talk to him, Joanne inevitably became curious. Tail grinned and pushed Joanne. "Daddy asked you to go to the balcony. He has another gift for you."Another gift? Joanne held her breath and focused her attention, walking slowly towards the balcony. A breeze blew the screen window open. The closer she got, the louder the buzzing became, as if the air had been torn apart. When she came to the balustrade, she looked up and was stunned! She saw numerous drones in a line in mid-air. All the drones were heart-shaped, similar to the shape of the island… Suddenly, like Dominoes, red banners fell from the drones one after another, with a balloon at the tail of each one. They were densely arrayed. At a glance, Joanne saw bright red words "Happy birthday to my wife" on every banner. In the bright sun
Chapter 1746“A proposal, wedding photos, a wedding in the church, a honeymoon... I will make everything that we missed up to you little by little.“I can’t turn the clock back, but I will take part in the rest of your life.“Promise me you’ll only be my bride.”Edwin had been looking forward to this moment for a long time. ‘I’m extremely anxious to tear up the ridiculous marriage agreement. Get a divorce with Joanne? No way! She won’t be able to run away anymore. As long as she has been my wife, she will be my wife forever. We’re tied up with each other rightly, and no one can separate us.’Joanne’s heartbeat quickened as if it would jump out of her chest. She had seen many proposals. They were grand, sweet, romantic... However, she didn’t expect Edwin to ask her to marry him at her birthday party!She was so excited that she felt dizzy and didn’t know what she could say.After a while, she was at a loss and reached out her hands to take the flowers from his hands.However,
Chapter 1747In the light, Joanne's eyes became teary. The diamond ring was dazzling."But ... I have to shoot dramas."The ring was too eye-catching, and once it was photographed by reporters, her identity as Edwin's wife would be exposed.Edwin seemed to have long considered this problem. He took out another box from his bag. Inside was a pair of platinum rings for a couple. They had many chic designs, similar to the big diamond ring but not that gorgeous."I allow you to use the diamond ring as a pendant of your necklace, and you can wear this one in daily life."Joanne was touched by Edwin's attentiveness and gave him her hand again.The two rings both fit her. Edwin put the ring on her finger, held her hand, and looked at it closely for a moment. "I like it very much. Wear it in the future."With that, he put the other ring on his finger. The two rings looked perfect together as he clasped Joanne's hand."You're wearing it on your ring finger. Are you not afraid other peo
Chapter 1748"There's plenty of other fish in the sea. Bro, I'll fix you up with a dozen girlfriends next time. They might be sexy, charming, pure, or cunning, but one of them will satisfy you."Jack glared at Ada and said meaningfully, "When did you start the procuring business?""It's not procurement! Why do you have to make it sound so disgusting?" With a face full of disdain, she said unhappily, "If not for your lifelong happiness, I wouldn't be willing!"...It was completely dark now. The yacht moved along the seashore for some time, then returned to the anchor point. The bands of colored lights that had been arranged instantly lit up, each shining in a heart shape, the shape of the island. The candle flames were flickering, and the melodious music was flowing. They formed a beautiful picture. With Joanne in his arms, Edwin got off the yacht. The moment she touched the ground, Joanne staggered, unable to stand steady. Her face was so red, and her scarlet lips were too
Chapter 1749Summer huffed, "Have you seen anyone wearing a jacket for such a grand birthday party? That doesn't suit my taste. I'm not wearing a jacket! I want to be dashing and beautiful!"Joanne could clearly see Braylon's mouth twitching slightly like he was trying to hold back something.Just then, Catelyn came over.As if she had found a backer, Summer quickly ran to Catelyn. "Cat, tomorrow I want to go back to the Mason Chateau with you. I don't want to stay at the Atherton Manor!""Alright, but why?" Catelyn patted the back of Summer's hand and gently coaxed, "Are you unhappy about something?"Summer's mental age was only eighteen years old, so she was as willful as a teenager.Catelyn had already gotten used to it.Anyway, there were three naughty children at home. She would just take Summer as a kid.Summer twisted her lips. Her well-maintained face had almost no wrinkles. Instead, it looked cute. She looked at Braylon hesitantly and then muttered, "I want to eat fre
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
