Chapter 1897Noticing that Joanne felt upset, Catelyn comforted her immediately, “Having too many kids isn’t a good thing. It’s too tiring!”As soon as Catelyn finished speaking, she heard noises from outside.“Aunt Kelly, what’s going on outside?”The butler, Aunt Kelly walked in with a long face. She said respectfully, “A middle-aged man came here and said that he was Madam Joanne’s relative! He’s making a scene outside and reluctant to leave.”“My relative?” Joanne felt confused.After she ran out of the Winters family, she almost cut all ties with her relatives.Catelyn was her best friend.Seeing that Joanne was in confusion, Catelyn felt curious and walked out with Joanne to have a look. A middle-aged man stood at the door of the villa and argued with the guards angrily. The man tried to break into the villa but was stopped by the guards.The middle-aged man shouted, “I’m Mrs. Atherton’s father! How dare you block my way?” As soon as he raised his head and saw Joanne who
Chapter 1898“Edwin, no kidding. I’m really Joanne’s father. If you don’t believe me, I can take the paternity test.”Aunt Kelly took some guards to chase Jory away. “Mr. Atherton said that he didn’t know you! Take the money and leave here!”Jory was pushed backward by the guards and greedily stared at the luxurious Atherton Manor. ‘It will be great if I can live here.’“Joanne, dare you swear on your mother that you don’t know me? I’m your father, Jory Winters! You’re a star now. Aren’t you afraid that the paparazzi will say that you’re unfilial?”With a loud sound, the guards threw him out directly.Jory still wanted to scold Joanne, but the guards looked fierce. He could only leave ignominiously. He walked away resignedly as he scolded Joanne.Staring at Jory’s back, Joanne felt more gloomy and bitter.Catelyn was worried about Joanne but didn’t say anything. Catelyn just hugged her and comforted her quietly.The living room became quiet again. After a while, Joanne said, “
Chapter 1899The panic in Joanne's heart subsided a little. She clenched her fists and said, "I also want to see what they're up to."Edwin hit the gas, and the car darted down the road like a bullet. In just half an hour, they arrived at the Winters family's house.With the help of Elliot, the Winters opened a medium-sized company, and their lives could be considered prosperous.Kayla was learning flower arrangements in the magnificent living room when suddenly the doorkeeper told her about the arrival of guests. Before she could react, Joanne and Edwin had already barged in.With a chilling smile on his face, Edwin ran his narrowed eyes over them. Daunted, the bodyguards didn't dare to step forward.This man was driving a supercar worth tens of millions of dollars.He couldn't be an ordinary person.Because Joanne had once had plastic surgery, it took Kayla a long time to recognize her as Joanna, a name she used after she left her family.After the initial surprise, Kayla sa
Chapter 1900Inside the black Bentley, the driver slammed on the brakes and instinctively looked at a seven or eight-year-old boy sitting upright in the back seat."Master Everett, I'm sorry. I had to brake suddenly because a little girl passed by. Are you all right?" asked the driver, trembling in fear.His face tense, Everett Benson frowned at the driver before glancing at the girl on the ground. "Go check if she's okay."Relieved, the driver quickly got out of the car and went to check on Tail. To his surprise, the girl didn't cry from the fall. She just looked at him with watery eyes, which made his heart melt."Sir..."The driver asked softly, "Hey, are you all right? Did you get hurt?"Tail's eyes swiveled as she thought to herself. This man seemed nice. She raised her tearful eyes and lifted her scraped hand. "I hurt my hand... and I can't find my way home. Can you give me a ride?"The driver scratched his head and helped her up. After a moment of hesitation, he decided
Chapter 1901Tail sobbed and said with a sweet voice, “It’s not the driver’s fault. It’s dark outside, and I’m short. It’s understandable that he didn’t see me.”“The little girl is sensible.”The longer Old Madam Benson looked at Tail, the more she liked Tail. She held Tail’s hand and took Tail into the house. “I will help you dress your wound. What’s your name?”“Granny, my name is Tail.”Old Madam Benson dotingly brought Tail to the second floor.Everett stood in the living room and was lost in thought.‘I feel that Granny is more intimate with Tail than me. It’s strange.’...After Old Madam Benson dressed Tail’s wound personally, they went downstairs.The servants had prepared the dinner. Elder Benson and Everett sat in front of the dining table and waited for them.The dinner was hearty. They specially prepared various dishes for Tail. The dishes smelled good and tasted delicious.Old Madam Benson asked Tail to have dinner as she asked with concern, “Tail, where do yo
Chapter 1902Tail finally persuaded Everett to play with her and smiled sweetly. Her eyes were like two curved crescents.When Old Madam Benson and Elder Benson walked into the playroom, Tail greeted them happily, “Thank you for treating me and asking Everett to play with me. I like him very much!”Everett’s face turned red.Although Tail was just a little kid, it was the first time for Everett that a girl said she liked him. He was aloof and taciturn, so the girls in his class didn’t have the guts to get close to him.Old Madam Benson smiled happily, leaned forward, and squatted in front of Tail. “How old are you? Do you still remember your birthday?”The fortune master, Harvey said that Everett was bone to be unlucky and needed to marry a savior who was born on June, 15th with a round moon. If so, Everett would be healthy and lucky for the rest of his life!Tail blinked her round eyes and replied, “Granny, I’m three and a half years old. My birthday is on June, 15th.”Old Mad
Chapter 1903...Near the Winters family's home.Edwin, Joanne, and the others were searching for Tail crazily.According to the surveillance video, Tail broke free from Kayla and ran away toward a remote villa area. The surveillance cameras there were owned by the villa owners."This seems to be the territory of the Alnus Group?" Joanne stood on the road, hesitant.Mr. Benson, the person in charge of the Alnus Group, was a ruthless businessman. He once competed with Edwin. Unfortunately, Mr. Benson and his wife were both killed in a car accident a few years ago, leaving a four-year-old son.The child was now taken care of by his grandparents, the Benson family's old couple.He seemed to be in the same grade as Miles. They were both geniuses.Edwin only had his darling girl on his mind, so he didn't care whose turf this was. He directly sent more people to knock on the door to ask for the surveillance video. Unexpectedly, as soon as the door was pulled open, they heard childis
Chapter 1904'Wife?'Isn't Tail clinging to Ollie and Miles all day? Since when is there another boy?'Edwin's smile instantly faded, and his eyes turned icy as he inimically glanced at Everett. "You are less than eight years old, right?"Edwin's aura daunted the boy, but Everett managed to keep his voice steady. "Yes. Is there anything I can help you with?""Actually, I'm just surprised by how open your family is. You're not even eight years old yet, and you're already talking about wanting a wife. Don't you think it's a bit too early for you to be thinking about that?"Tail had just gone missing once. How did she come back as Everett's wife? It really pissed him off.Everett pursed his lips. "Well, you can take her back. I never want her to marry me.""Tail, being a wife is something you have to wait until you come of age. Didn't I tell you that you were too little to marry Everett?" Joanne was a little confused.She used to always worry that something undesirable would happ
