Joanne had seen this Rolls-Roice several times before. It was Edwin's car.Instead of meeting Edwin in the building, Joanne suddenly thought it would probably be better to find a quiet place, such as an underground parking lot, where a private chat with Edwin would be more convenient.She quickly ran toward the parking lot and stopped in front of the Rolls-Roice.Joanne patted the front of the luxury car with one hand and shouted loudly, "Get out of the car, Edwin! I have something to discuss with you!"There was no response.The driver of the Rolls-Roice looked at Joanne through the windshield. He saw that she was wearing a plain and thick light-colored coat with a cap on her head.With the brim of her hat lowered, the driver could only see the lower half of her face.He subconsciously looked back at the person sitting in the rear seat.The man stayed quiet but quietly stared at Joanne, who was screaming.Realizing that no one was paying attention to her, Joanne got even more
Joanne felt weird, seeing that the old lady was staring at her like that.She returned to her senses and quickly realized that perhaps the old lady had misunderstood her!Joanne tried explaining that 'that' was not what the old lady thought it meant…"I am in a hurry, and I've not eaten much. Come along now, accompany me for lunch." interrupted Old Lady Atherton.Joanne glanced in the direction of the elevator.She still had to look for Edwin to discuss the termination of her contract. Miss Reed must be waiting for her reply.Old Lady Atherton noticed Joanne's hesitation. "Is there something wrong?" she asked.Joanne quickly changed her posture and tone, and suddenly she appeared cheerful, "Ah, it's nothing! Let's go!"Who on earth was this old lady…Joanne wanted to just dig a hole and bury herself in it.Old Lady Atherton was deliberately observing Joanne along the way.She may appear a little peculiar, but she had a friendly attitude toward others.Old Lady Atherton requ
Smash!The glass of water fell to the ground, shattering into pieces.Joanne was afraid that the broken glass would get to Old Lady Atherton. Without any hesitation, she pulled her aside instantly.However, a few drops of water got to the back of Old Lady Atherton's hand.Joanne knew the water she brought for her was quite hot, so she quickly took a napkin from her bag and wiped Old Lady Atherton's hand.Old Lady Atherton felt unexpectedly comfortable to be held by Joanne like this. Although there was nothing outstanding about her, she was very nice to get along with.Old Lady Atherton pulled her hand back. "Thanks, I'm fine.""Shall we continue eating?" asked Joanne. She pulled a chair over and helped Old Lady Atherton to her seat."I'm not hungry anymore," said Old Lady Atherton, standing still on her spot. "Would you mind taking a walk with me?"Joanne stared blankly at her. First, she said she was hungry, but she had not taken a bite."Okay, wait for me. I'll go pay for t
The nurse replied with a happy text, [Of course! As long as your physical criteria are met, there wouldn't be any problem.]Joanne let out a dull sigh. She looked at the gloomy sky, suddenly feeling as if there was something pressing on her chest. It was very uncomfortable, and she struggled to breathe....In the Rolls-Roice, as soon as Old Lady Atherton got into the car, the driver could clearly feel that she was in a very good mood.She was grinning uncontrollably. It was a very rare sight for her to behave this way!The driver wanted to accompany Old Lady Atherton for her meal earlier, but she insisted that he stay in the car so she could spend her time with Joanne alone."Ma'am, what's the matter? You look really happy," asked the driver."Of course. I'm going to have a little great-grandson!" Old Lady Atherton raised her eyebrows proudly. "Give Eddy a call. Tell him I'm sick and that I wanted to see him," she instructed the driver.The driver frowned but dared not refute
In love with Joanne for five years?Marrying her?Edwin had no idea where his grandmother heard all this nonsense.He originally planned not to get married before reaching 35 years old. He had plans to find a stable relationship, but for now, he had no intention of marriage.Harry was feeling impatient and dissatisfied. Before Edwin could say anything, he looked at his mother and said, "Mom, Eddy's marriage is going to be a big deal. What about the girl's family background? Does she deserve someone like Eddy? Is the child even really his anyway?"Old Lady Atherton's tone was cold. "What do you suggest then?""If you like Joanne's kid, then just let her give birth to the baby and pay her a sum of money. There's another family I knew who had an even better girl. Her family background is rich, and she's perfect to marry an Atherton," said Harry.Edwin did not have a great relationship with his dad. He sneered as he heard Harry's words."Indeed, a marriage between a Cheever and an
Quinn heard the noise and turned around, but it was too late. Stella swung the broom onto Quinn's waist. She used all her strength, and it was excruciatingly painful that Quinn gasped. She snuck her head out from the bottom of the bed and glared at Stella with red eyes. "It's me! What are you doing?""Quinn?" Stella threw the broom onto the floor and quickly checked Quinn's waist. "I'm sorry, I thought there was a thief in here. Let Mummy see if your waist is okay?""Go away! My mom is already dead! Aren't you my aunt?"Quinn was enraged and pushed Stella away.Stella was concerned that she had hit Quinn. She fell backward.Her head knocked onto the foot of the bed. She touched the back of her head, and there was some blood…She did not care about her wound but climbed up from the ground and pursued Quinn."Quinn, don't be like this. Mummy… Mummy had no choice. I had told everyone that I had no family. If I suddenly had a daughter, Kitty might get angry and chase me out of t
Right at this moment, the door of the living room opened.Catelyn was walking hand in hand with Cedrick with groceries. When they saw the state of the house, they thought they had been robbed. Stella and Quinn were both standing in the living room. Stella was trying to hold Quinn's hand, but Quinn looked heartless."What are you doing?" Catelyn looked at Quinn without even trying to hide the dissatisfaction on her face. Quinn was slightly taken aback to see Catelyn and Cedrick back."There's a rat, and we were trying to catch the rat…" Stella faked a smile.Quinn nodded, and she pointed at the broom in the corner. "Yes, we were chasing the rat."Catelyn's gaze swept past Stella's hand. It was not hard for Catelyn to guess what happened in this place moments ago from the bit of blood stain on her palm and her pale face.Cedrick's hawk-like eyes were fixated on Quinn.Quinn's heart was pounding when being stared at this way. She briefly said something and proceeded to hide i
"The origin?""Yes, the bangle was a relic of Catelyn's late mother for her."Lola felt slightly tensed at the word 'relic' and demanded, "If you can find out the whereabouts of the bangle, I will give you a million dollars! I must get the bangle!"Quinn heard the one million dollar offer and found her determination again."Miss Atherton, please don't worry. I will continue to investigate this.""There is also another thing that I need your help…" Lola said with a cold tone, with a hint of nervousness. …The living room was full of clutter, and even the couch was flipped over. Catelyn and Cedrick had nowhere to sit. Stella was in the kitchen making dinner. Catelyn did not expect Cedrick to know how to do the chores and, therefore, proactively went and cleaned up the place. Cedrick pulled her arm, and he sounded impatient. "I never allowed you to do house chores at home. Now you are helping someone else to do it?"If it were not because of Catelyn being so concerned about
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
