Chapter 1754‘Elliot is so shameless. I will ask Edwin why he has made a friend with Elliot.’Elliot unbuttoned two buttons of his shirt, exposed his delicate collarbones, and sneered, “I was wondering who the meddlesome woman was. It turns out that it’s you, Ms. Walters. You’d better not interfere in the matter of Shelby and me. It’s none of your business.”Edwin invited Elliot to attend his wife’s birthday party, but Elliot called Joanne Ms. Walters instead of Mrs. Atherton.Elliot did so to mock Joanne.Joanne replied to Elliot calmly, “Indeed, it would be none of my business if you weren’t on the island. However, you’re on my island and can’t run riot here.”“So you admit that you made things difficult for Vivian.” Elliot narrowed his eyes and stood in the face of Joanne.Joanne frowned. ‘I just didn’t take Vivian’s name card. How could Elliot say that I made things difficult for Vivian?’Joanne pulled a long face. “Vivian is nobody in my eyes. I don’t bother to pay any att
Chapter 1755Under Edwin’s sullen and cold gaze, Vivian panicked and almost couldn’t breathe.‘I shouldn’t have followed Elliot to come here!’She had no choice but to tell Elliot the whole story, “When I met Mrs. Atherton by chance, I would like to make a friend with her and handed my name card to her, but she didn’t take it, so I felt disappointed.”Joanne asked, “Is that all? Did I do anything else to you?”Vivian held back her tears and apologized to Joanne, “That’s all. You didn’t do anything else. I’m sorry. I didn’t mean to cause misunderstanding. It’s all my fault that I didn’t clearly explain it to Mr. Vesley. Mrs. Atherton, please forgive me.”Elliot frowned tightly. He didn’t have the heart to see Vivian apologize to Joanne.However, before Elliot said anything, Joanne added, “It’s strange. Isn’t it said that Mr. Vesley is a young upstart in business? Why are you so illogical? I just didn’t take your lover’s name card, but you think that I bullied her. You didn’t call
Chapter 1756Elliot’s handsome face clouded over. He looked at Joanne and sneered, “Ms. Walters, fine, you win. Edwin has been my friend for many years, but you sow disorder between Edwin and me with a few words. No wonder Vivian doesn’t have the guts to tell me how you bullied her.”Joanne was stuck for words. ‘What I said is all the truth. How can Elliot say that I sow disorder between Edwin and him?‘It’s Vivian who sows disorder between them.’Suddenly, Edwin sneered, “Humph...”Edwin became serious and aloof.“Elliot, don’t slander my wife. She’s reluctant to see you now. Leave here with your lover!”‘Edwin is asking me to leave here seriously?’Elliot narrowed his eyes.Vivian was also surprised.‘Edwin and Elliot were acquainted with each other when they studied abroad. They have been friends for many years, but now Edwin asks Elliot to leave just because of Joanna?‘How has Joanna bewitched Edwin?’Elliot stood there dumbfounded. After a while, he said angrily, “A
Chapter 1757Benjamin said to Joanne, “It’s strange that Elliot was so unreasonable and impulsive. After he calms down, he will realize that he’s wrong. At that time, I will take him to apologize to you. Please don’t refuse.”But Joanne shook her head. “No. Please don’t take him to see me.”Hearing that, Benjamin frowned and asked, “Are you unwilling to forgive him?”Joanne shook her index finger. “It’s not like that. I just think it’s unnecessary. Besides, I dislike his female partner.”Although Joanne said so to Benjamin, she still apologized to Edwin in private.Edwin looked at Joanne.“What do you want to say?”“Elliot is your good friend, but you broke with him because of me. If the news is spread, it will tarnish your reputation...”Edwin interrupted Joanne and raised her chin with his slender finger.“Tell me. Did Vivian piss you off before?” ‘If there were no inside stories, Joanne wouldn’t have refused Vivian’s name card for no reason. Especially, Vivian was my fri
Chapter 1758Edwin rolled his eyes and grimaced, "Cedrick, you should pay more attention to Catelyn. Give her something to do. Otherwise, she just gossips all day. She's not the simple, sweet girl she used to be." Cedrick snorted, "You should, too." Joanne felt annoyed being drawn into their fight. 'It's my birthday. Can't they make peace for my sake?' "Okay, Edwin, I'm not going to argue with you. I want to ask you something." Catelyn suddenly became serious. The playful smile on her face immediately disappeared. Seeing the grave look on Catelyn's face, Edwin realized it was something important. "What is it?" "I heard that your people found a mine outside a village in Enigma Hollow a few days ago and that you sent people to guard the mine. Is it true?" Catelyn inquired.Edwin nodded.It was a coincidence. He sent people to look for birthday gifts for Joanne. Unexpectedly, his people found that mine in Enigma Hollow. Currently, they were exploring that mine.
Chapter 1759However, these were all legends, so that was why Catelyn thought of the team that Edwin had sent out recently.To develop mining operations on the outskirts of Enigma Hollow, they must have met with the people in that hidden village."Alright, I will immediately introduce the team leader to you," Edwin said seriously, looking at Cedrick with an indescribable expression on his face.Cedrick felt Edwin's "compassionate" look and furrowed his eyebrows. "Don't think of me as so fragile. I've been coexisting with this virus for over thirty years, and it hasn't killed me yet.""I can't help but sympathize with you when seeing you like this." Edwin patted Cedrick's shoulder and sincerely expressed his sympathy. "It's all because of your grandfather's mistress. Why did she poison him with a hereditary virus? Will my two adorable nephews also get this disease?"Cedrick fell into a silent silence upon hearing this.If he was the only one to suffer, it would be fine.But the
Chapter 1760The man arranged for two men to help Catelyn and Cedrick with their luggage and introduced himself with a smile, "Mr. Mason, Mrs. Mason, it’s an honor to meet you. I'm Kevin Fillion. Just call me Kevin." Cedrick carried Catelyn off the helicopter and headed for the lounge. He was wearing a black trench coat. His tall figure looked determined as he walked in the blowing wind. He asked Kevin as he walked toward the lounge, "Did Edwin tell you the plan?" Kevin repeatedly nodded. "Yes, Mr. Atherton told me everything, but we rarely go to that village. Only one of our men has been to that village accidentally. Mr. Mason, wait a moment, I'll let him give you more details." Then Kevin called a very thin, small man. The man had dark skin and he looked honest. His name was Tony. According to Tony, the isolated village was in a large virgin forest. One day, Tony entered that village by accident. He got separated from his fellow workers and accidentally fell int
Chapter 1761Hearing Cedrick’s words, Catelyn raised her head and said firmly, "No! Didn't we agree that I would always stay with you?" "You've heard Keven say that this is a primeval forest. Countless dangers are in there. I can't let you come with me. Listen to me. Wait for me here. I'll pick you up as soon as I find the entrance." Cedrick stroked Catelyn's cheek. Through the shadowy light, she clearly saw his sharp face and the worries hidden in his eyes. ‘He plans to leave me here just because it's dangerous? We have faced so many dangers together.’ Catelyn thought. She didn’t agree to be separated from Cedrick, "You guys walk in front, and I will be right behind you. I promise not to rush forward. If someone is bitten by a snake or a worm, I can help. I will not slow you down." Cedrick looked at her deeply and then said forcefully, "I've made up my mind." "You..." "If you insist on coming with me, I will arrange a helicopter to take you back to Sapphire City. Our ki
