There were not many photos of Sylvie alone because most of them captured Sylvie with other Atherton family members together. Those photos included one in which she and Catelyn warmly stared at each other with a smile on both faces, one in which she and Edwin played chess together, and one in which she and Harry took a stroll in the garden…Hundreds of photos were arranged clearly and orderly by Catelyn and projected on the big screen.Sylvie was deeply moved, and tears filled her eyes.The narration of the video was the voice of Catelyn. "Grandma, you are the most respected elder in my heart. It is my greatest honor to be your granddaughter. I believe that no matter what you did, you did it for my good. Now it's time for me, Ceddy, and the children to spend time with you. On your first birthday after our reunion, I thought about giving you very precious gifts like my cousin, but those gifts were dead, and I always felt that something was missing. Then, one day, I finally realized wh
"Ha! Was this specially made to wish the old lady a happy birthday?""You all do look quite vivid.""No wonder Miss Catelyn has been building a snowman with the two young masters recently. I sure didn't expect the snowman to be specially made for the old lady. How sweet…""The old lady must be so happy to have such a thoughtful granddaughter.""The Masons and Athertons used to have a beef with each other in the past. Now, the Masons were invited to the old lady's birthday party! It seems the relationship between the two families has improved, and I'm sure they will be more cooperative in the future. I can already foresee a brighter future for Sapphire City now…"...When Old Madam Atherton saw the snowmen piled up in the garden, all her stern and dignified expression vanished in an instant.After all, she was over seventy years old.Immediately, she stopped eating her cake and went over to play in the snow with her two great-grandchildren.Miles pulled Old Madam Atherton, and
Joanne looked around, not seeing Edwin anywhere. She then quickly took out the hand-woven maroon scarf from her bag and wrapped it around the neck of Old Madam Atherton.The scarf was very fluffy, and it was really comfortable to wear.The old lady stroked the scarf around her neck in shock. "What's this?""Grandma, I knitted it myself. It's my first time knitting. It may not look perfect, but this is the best I can do. If you don't like it, you can always use it as a tablecloth…" said Joanne sheepishly.Old Madam Atherton's eyes lit up when she heard Joanne's words. "You learned to knit for me?""I wanted to buy one for you. My scarf was probably nothing compared to other expensive gifts that you've received. I thought I might as well make one myself. Besides, I came from a poor family, and I'm used to doing everything on my own," said Joanne.Joanne felt embarrassed as she spoke, wondering if her grandmother would have a bad impression of her after this.Whatever it was, this
Sammy's eyelids twitched several times. What a bold proposal by Tracy!If this succeeds, it will definitely devastate the relationship between Catelyn and Cedrick. In addition to that, it would paint a very bad impression of Candrick to Old Madam Atherton. It's like killing two birds with one stone."But Master Cedrick is a pretty smart guy and would definitely not do anything rash in the banquet," said Sammy."Yes, Master Cedrick is smart indeed. However, Joanne is not a very bright person. I heard that she's pregnant with Uncle Edwin's child. Imagine if Cedrick got himself so deep into this and got rid of the child in Joanne's womb. I don't think Master Cedrick and Uncle Edwin would ever be friends again." Tracy sneered."No, no, no…" Sammy was visibly shaken as she spoke, "The old lady really values the baby in her womb.""Aren't you going to help me with this?" Tracy said angrily."I'm thinking for your safety as well..." replied Sammy."Forget it, if you're not gonna help m
Just like that, a glass of wine spilled on Joanne's dress.Before she could say anything, the waiter took the lead and apologized tremblingly. She was about to cry, "I'm so sorry. I didn't mean to…"Joanne looked at the smudge of wine stains on her clothes and frowned, but she did not intend to trouble the waiter either.It was an accident, after all."It's okay, don't cry," comforted Joanne."Thank you. You are so kind," said the waiter, looking at Joanne gratefully. She then pointed upstairs. "Your dress is all ruined. Shall I take you upstairs to change to a new one?"Joanne nodded. She looked back and waved at Old Madam Atherton and then followed the waiter up to the second floor.Just as she was about to reach the lounge, the waiter suddenly stopped and pointed to the room diagonally opposite. "That's Miss Catelyn's room. There are many unworn dresses in it. You can choose any one of them."Joanne did not give it a second thought. She and Catelyn had about the same body fi
"Why is my head so dizzy? Don't move Edwin, I can see four of you…" muttered Joanne.The moment she pressed her body against Cedrick's chest, his face quickly turned dark. He grabbed her wrist and pulled her away. "What are you doing here?!" he asked fiercely.What just happened? Where was Catelyn?Even though Cedrick had also inhaled the suspicious floral fragrance, his willpower was far stronger than Joanne's.He quickly realized a certain possibility…Someone was setting them up!...As the eldest grandson of the Atherton Family, Edwin was surrounded by many people at the party.Suddenly, he received a photo message on his phone.There was a photo attached to the message, and it was a picture of Joanne being led upstairs by a waiter. The photo was taken about twenty minutes ago.Then, there was another photo. In the period of a few minutes, Cedrick was also seen appearing at the same stairs. The two photos, one after another clearly implied something, which made Edwin's he
Old Madam Atherton's face was tense.As she and Edwin arrived at the door of the room, they noticed it was locked from the inside.Edwin asked the old lady to step back a little before raising his knees and kicking the door savagely. He had learned boxing since he was a child, and his kick was naturally strong.With a bang, the door was kicked open…Edwin walked in with a murderous look on his face, followed by Old Madam Atherton and Harry.He looked around the room and realized that the scandal which he had expected did not actually happen. He quickly breathed a sigh of relief.In the room, Joanne was seen lying unconscious on the bed. Cedrick was also there with Catelyn!Earlier, when Cedrick realized that the woman in the room was actually Joanne. Fearing that Catelyn would also be part of this set up, he quickly called her. After confirming that his wife was safe, he quickly knocked Joanne unconscious and threw her onto the bed.Catelyn heard that Joanne and Cedrick were fr
"Perhaps this is unnecessary?" said Catelyn as she heard Harry's words, fearing that this would reveal that Joanne was actually not pregnant. "Joanne just needs to rest, and she'll be fine."Old Madam Atherton was not usually on the same page as Harry. Today, however, she stood by and agreed with her son. The old lady retorted with disapproval. "Unnecessary? Joanne is pregnant! She must be treated with care!"Harry responded and called the doctor. With the situation at hand, Catelyn could not do anything to stop this.What if everyone finds out that Joanne was faking the pregnancy?Thinking of it, Catelyn quickly sat up from the edge of the bed. Her actions suddenly caused an inexplicable pain in her lower abdomen. The pain made her unable to speak for the moment, and she could only watch as Harry invited in a middle-aged doctor.He was not the usual family doctor of the Athertons, but another medical director from the hospital who happened to be present at the birthday party.
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
