"It's time to go home now," Edwin interrupted Joanne's explanation.Before she could say anything, Edwin dragged her into the passenger seat and drove the car away.Joanne glared angrily at Edwin. "Why did you tell Kitty that I'm pregnant? That's not true!"Edwin tapped his slender fingers on the steering wheel and said, "I will take you back home to see Granny when I have the time. She is looking forward to your child.""Didn't you hear me? I only have roundworms in my stomach. It's not a child!" Joanne reiterated angrily.Edwin replied, "I have already bribed the doctor. As long as you keep your mouth shut, everyone will know that the child in your stomach is the great-grandson of the Atherton Family."Joanne was speechless. The whole purpose of the marriage was so that Edwin could keep lying?Why did she even buy that cheap pregnancy test stick?How annoying! Joanne kicked the pedal under her foot in anger, making a muffled thud as if something had fallen off. She quickly lo
"Miss Kingsley, we meet again," Catelyn raised a smile and greeted Windy.Windy raised her head slightly, motioning them to take a seat across her.Apparently, Windy had not ordered any food yet. Catelyn called the waiter for the menu and handed it to Windy. However, she just ignored her, staring at Cedrick on the opposite side.Catelyn suddenly felt a strange feeling. "Miss Kingsley, don't you want to order anything?""Right," said Windy casually. She took the menu and ordered three simple appetizers randomly and pushed the menu back in front of Catelyn.Catelyn ordered a bowl of stew. The waiter smiled as she took their orders and left."Master Cedrick, it's been a while. I didn't even know you were married." Windy smiled, her curly hair spread out charmingly. "Such a pity, I wanted to ask you out…"The strange feeling within Catelyn intensified as she listened to Windy's words.She's flirting with her husband!Catelyn reminded herself about the contract. She forced a smile
Catelyn dragged Cedrick away very quickly. Windy burst into laughter as she watched the both of them leave.She expected Catelyn to be a boring person, but she turned out to be pretty interesting.…Cedrick was dragged to a small remote aisle at the back of the mall with no one around. Catelyn's eyes instantly lit up in flames. She pulled Cedrick's necktie toward her, forcing him to lower his head. "You seemed pretty intimate with Windy just now. You didn't even push her away when she touched you. Her rose perfume is very alluring, isn't it?" she said coldly.One of Catelyn's arms was resting on his neckline, they both were so close to each other that the tip of Cedrick's nose almost hit her, and she could also smell his masculine breath.Cedrick thought it was pretty amusing to see Catelyn being so jealous. Plus, she had just publicly admitted to being his wife earlier. Now Cedrick could not help but feel a great sense of satisfaction within."She was really quick, and I didn'
Catelyn's thoughts drifted away slowly. Suddenly remembering the moments where Windy touched Cedrick's neck, she said to her husband intimidatingly, "Carry me home. That's your punishment!"...After a long wait, the sample comparison report that Lola sent to the professional DNA identification center finally came out.Since Summer's DNA samples were long gone, technically, only the DNA samples of Catelyn and Old Lady Atherton could be used to compare for an intergenerational kinship identification. After all, since Old Lady Atherton was not Catelyn's parent, the accuracy of the comparison was only about a quarter.Even so, Lola still arranged for someone to carry on with it.Her whole body froze when she saw the results that the similarity in the last row was as high as 27%.Impossible!Wasn't Catelyn Ezekiel's child? How did she become Summer's daughter?Could it be that Summer did not actually leave with the mysterious man but stayed by Ezekiel's side instead?Desperately, Lola trie
Quinn's initial reaction was panic. She stuttered, "Miss Atherton, to impersonate Catelyn is very risky. If the Atherton family finds out, I will be dead…""High risk, high reward. If you managed to gain the old lady's trust, think about it, you would be the most respected daughter of Miss Atherton. By then, you could easily handle Catelyn, don't you think so?"Lola would not want to use Quinn either if she had other options. However, Quinn hated Catelyn, and she was a coward. It was easy for Lola to manipulate her. Quinn's knees trembled involuntarily. Her heart was racing. There was a little person in her mind, telling her repeatedly to agree to Lola! She wanted to be the most respected daughter of Miss Atherton…"However, it is so easy to find out about my background…""What does it matter? Your mother abandoned you from a young age. As long as you hold the bangle and insist that you are the daughter of Summer Atherton, I will take care of the rest!" Lola was hesitant too.
Catelyn kept on consoling herself that if this project failed, she could still try to negotiate for another project.No worries! "Miss Clark, I could never imagine that you managed to seal the deal with Deluxe International…" Hunter reached his hand out to Catelyn enthusiastically. His gaze was full of respect. Catelyn could only smile weakly. "Mister Wilson, in fact, Windy has already…""Miss Clark, you can drop your act. Everyone knows that you are capable. Even Miss Kingsley had respect for you. Mister Wilson said to plan a celebration for you. Just think about where you want to celebrate later." Maribel could not hold her smile any longer and said with an envious tone. "Yes, just drop your act.""Miss Clark is so young but so capable. Deluxe International said that we have an equal split in the profits. This way, our long-term benefits will definitely be worth more than that of the land!""We will no longer face the crisis of being laid off!"Everyone was discussing exci
Catelyn wiped away the water around her lips calmly, then looked at Jolene unhappily from the corner of her eyes. "Do you think my husband is the kind of person who would sacrifice himself for a project?"It had to be some billion-dollar project for him to give himself up, not something as small as theirs. "Who knows? Maybe Cedrick was unwilling to see you crying over the project…" Jolene threw her right hand into the air and looked heavily in love. "After all, he is a hopeless romantic."Catelyn slapped the document on her shoulder. "Girl, stop dreaming."Even though she said so, Catelyn herself was full of questions. What did Windy even mean? Did she intend to hook up with Cedrick?Catelyn was uncomfortable at the thought. Later, when both parties were discussing the next step, Catelyn took the opportunity to ask Windy about it, "Why did you suddenly change your mind in the end?"Windy flipped her wavy hair flirtatiously and then winked at her. "You don't want to know abou
Kelly was not too happy to see this and was about to reprimand her, but Granny Atherton stopped her. The old lady's gaze fell upon Catelyn's pretty face. If she smiled, she would probably resemble Summer."I have no bad intentions. I just heard that your mother is injured and that you are a close friend to Eddy. So I am just here for a casual visit. Don't you be too tense about it."Mentioning Edwin helped to shorten the distance between Granny Atherton and Catelyn. Catelyn indeed received a lot of help from Edwin before.The lady before her was, after all, his grandmother. She was visiting Stella out of care…"I was just worried that the bad weather would be a little inconvenient for you to be out and about." Catelyn poured a glass of water and bowed slightly at Granny Atherton. Granny Atherton received the glass. Her gaze moved away from Catelyn's beautiful face to Kelly. Kelly immediately understood her and took out an elegant little black box from among the pile of pr
