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.
Catelyn quickly said, "Grandma, didn't Doctor Rudolf just examine Joanne just now? Let's just let her rest already.""But we have to make sure that the child has any illness or fever before it's too late!" said Old Madam Atherton. Nothing was going to change her mind about this.Catelyn tried to wink at Edwin, but he was keeping his eyes on Joanne, not noticing her signal at all.How frustrating!Before they knew it, the old family doctor of the Athertons had arrived along with Kelly Preston.This doctor had been with the Athertons for many years, and the family had always treated him well.As soon as he arrived, he quickly dispersed the crowd, leaving only Catelyn, Old Madam Atherton, and a few others.This doctor's diagnosis method was more sophisticated than that of Doctor Rudolf. Within three minutes, he said to Old Madam Atherton while smiling, "Congratulations. Although the young lady is a little unstable at the moment, she will be okay after some good rest.""Really?" Ol
Realizing what was happening, Edwin gave Joanne a hint of warning, but it was ineffective.Instead, Joanne shoved him aside, startling Old Madam Atherton.Edwin lost his patience. He lowered his head and kissed her lips.Joanne stared blankly at his large handsome face, speechless.The old lady smiled as she saw Edwin's actions. Attaboy!She remembered that Edwin did not like kissing women. Even when he had many girlfriends, he rarely kissed them, claiming that they were too dirty.From the situation at hand at the moment, it seemed that Edwin was having a really good relationship with Joanne!Meanwhile, Harry kept his face down.He looked at Doctor Rudolf, and then to the old family doctor…Something fishy was going on!...Catelyn wanted to keep Joanne company for a while longer, but the pain she had felt earlier was still lingering. Feeling extremely uncomfortable, she requested Cedrick to bring her to the guest room to rest.Cedrick noticed Catelyn's pale face. "Hang
Sammy saw the thing in Tracy's hand and hurriedly said, "What are you doing?""Since Joanne is so useless, then I shall do it myself! When the time comes, I'll take a picture of Cedrick on my bed. I bet I can even threaten him. I don't believe there's such a thing as a truly faithful man," replied Tracy without hesitating."Are you crazy?!" Sammy shouted.She had been accompanying Tracy while she was studying abroad. Her daughter had always been clean. Even if she had a boyfriend, there would still be boundaries. Sammy would never imagine Tracy retorting to such dirty methods to deal with Catelyn."I want to avenge my father, Mom! Are you really okay with Catelyn and Cedrick getting away with this? I must make her kneel down and apologize to my father!" cried Tracy.The moment she thought of Eugene, hatred started burning in her eyes.To other people, Tracy's father was a scumbag. However, Tracy was his only child, and he had spoiled her since she was a child.His death was a de
Upstairs, Joanne realized that she had been tricked and almost mistook Cedrick for Edwin. The thought flustered her greatly.Fortunately, nothing happened. Otherwise, it would not be enough to atone for her sin even if she committed suicide!Cedrick was Catelyn's husband, and she was her cousin-in-law…She covered her face as she began to blush in embarrassment."Did you learn your lesson?" In the room where no one was around except them, Edwin sarcastically said, "I told you before I came here to follow me closely and not run around. This circle isn't as simple as you imagined."Joanne hid under the quilt and quietly poked her head out a little, showing a pair of regretful eyes. "I was right beside Grandma all the time, but who knew that the waiter would bump into me just as I turned around! Besides, how did I know that your waiter would harm me? It's all because of your lax recruitment and improper review of your employee. If he were in the film crew, this kind of person couldn'
"Tracy." Edwin cut to the chase. "The waiter is spineless. It only took me two kicks to make him explain everything. It was Tracy who bribed him to tempt Joanne to go upstairs then pretended to notify you and lured all of us there, trying to mess us up."The moment Cedrick heard this name, a killing intent flashed in his eyes. "I underestimated her. It's clever to kill two birds with one stone.""If she wasn't Uncle Eugene's only daughter, I'd have her dead right now!" The murderous intent in Edwin's eyes was extremely strong, and he took a deep breath to suppress his emotions.Cedrick was about to say something when he saw Trevor and Tracy being together.Being a man, Cedrick knew very well what Trevor's intention was. He looked like a beast ambushing its prey and determined to get it.Trevor was notorious for his nasty behavior. He was once a mercenary, so he would use all cruel approaches to get what he wanted.The smile on Cedrick's mouth suddenly became wicked. "I have a bet
Tracy's eyes lit up, and she nodded excitedly. "Then, let's go to the garden! It's quiet there, and no one comes and goes.""Sounds great."Cedrick and Edwin whispered a few words in each other's ears before Cedrick placed the wine glass gracefully on the tray and went to the garden where no guests would go.The moonlight was beautiful that night, and Tracy and Cedrick slowly made their way.The excited Tracy chatted aplenty with Cedrick along the way, but Cedrick merely responded with shorter answers.In order not to ruin the atmosphere, Tracy kept bringing up other new topics, undeterred by Cedrick's indifferent responses. On the contrary, she became even more enthusiastic.The more challenging it was to get on Cedrick's bed, the greater the blow Catelyn would take when she did it.No one was in the flower garden's perimeter, and the dim street lights made the atmosphere even more ambiguous.Tracy grabbed Cedrick's arm and rubbed against him. "Cousin-in-law, I feel a little d
