Chapter 2056
“What's happening?”
“I need your help finding Bennett's uncle.
At the mention of Bennett, Felix’s mood darkened.
“Enough already.
Can’t you move on? Why are you so focused on impressing that Bennett guy? And isn’t his uncle long gone? |
can’t track down someone who's already dead, and | have other priorities.
After finishing his words, Felix turned around to return to the private room.
But Joann suddenly stepped forward and grabbed his wrist.
“Felix, please.
| can’t cancel the engagement.
After everything that happened, | have beca laughingstock in the elite circles.
If | don’t marry Bennett, who else will want to marry me?”
Everyone knew she set up Bennett to force him to marry her.
They were all having a field day with what she had done.
If this engagement was canceled, no man from a wealthy family would be willing to marry her.
At the thought of this, Joann’s grip on Felix’s wrist tightened.
Tears streamed down her face like a waterfall.
“I don’t care how you do it, but you have to help me.
Otherwise, | will tell Mom to stop your allowance.
Although Felix was a notorious playboy, he loved his sister very much.
He couldn't bear to see Joann crying bitterly like this.
However, he was still angry.
She was the daughter of the Crawford family.
How could she let herself get into such a mess for a man?
But although he was angry, he loved Joann very much.
He couldn't leave her hanging.
She was family, after all.
So, in the end, Felix sighed and gave in.

“Okay, I'll help you.
But | have a condition.
“Felix, as long as you are willing to help me, | can do anything,”
Joann said without hesitation.
Felix got straight to the point.
“Getand Lindsay together.
Then, I'll fix this mess for you.
Joann hesitated.
She knew Felix’s reputation.
Any woman associated with him would not have a good life.
Besides, Lindsay already had Matthew in her heart.
How was it possible that she would choose Felix?
Joann hesitated, torn between choosing her own happiness and Lindsay's.
After a moment, she decided to prioritize her own happiness.
Lindsay had just called to inform her that Stella was pregnant.
It only meant Lindsay had no chance to marry Matthew now.
At the thought of this, Joann immediately agreed to Felix’s request.
“Okay.
As long as you keep your word, | will help you win her over.
“It's settled then.
” Felix nodded in agreement.
“Givethe nand picture of the person you are looking for.
Joann lowered her head and stared at his outstretched hand.
She was stunned for a moment.
Then, she said, “I saw the photo just now, but I didn’t take a photo of the image.
Bennett's uncle seldom showed up in public.
Felix’s brows furrowed tightly.
“Alright.
What about the name? There should be a name, right?”
Joann fell silent.
Bennett and his family were tight-lipped about this whole thing.
How would she know his uncle's name?
Felix was a little impatient when he saw the confusion on Joann’s face.
“Con! You don’t even have the most basic information? How am | supposed to find him? Do you think | can
do miracles?”
After saying this, Felix was about to leave.
But Joann held his arm again to stop him.
“Hold on.
| don’t have the actual photo, but | remember what the person looks like.
| can get someone to sketch it out with Al technology.
Felix shook off her hand in annoyance.
“Fine! Let's wait until you have that photo.
I'm very busy, so don’t bother me.
He thought Joann wanted to find Bennett's uncle on a whim.
And if it was too much trouble, she would drop it in a heartbeat.
But to his surprise, Joann cto him with the photo in less than two hours.
She even warned solemnly, “You must helpfind him.
This is my only chance.
I should find him before Bennett does.
The news about Stella’s pregnancy quickly spread among the relatives and friends.
Alissa also caught wind of the news from Bella.
She was so excited that she started preparing gifts for the baby.
Bella designed sclothes.
Clint, on the other hand, decided to stay in Seamarsh to spend twith Stella.
Everyone was very happy and excited.
They all looked forward to the birth of the newest member of the family.
But their enthusiasm had only brought so much pressure on Stella.

She found everything overwhelming, especially when she noticed that in addition to the financial and
management books on Matthew's bookshelf, there were now many parenting guidebooks.
Finally, Stella voiced out her concern.
“It seems everyone is taking charge of the things | am supposed to do.
I don’t know what else I should do.
Matthew noticed the worried look on her face.
He chuckled and said, “It’s our first baby, so it makes sense that everyone wants to get involved.
But don’t you think it’s a good thing? You won't be too tired.
So, just relax and enjoy it.
Rest well and take good care of our baby.
In this pregnancy journey, you have the hardest part.
Stella had no choice but to accept everything and focus on the responsibility given to her.
Matthew then asked, “How have you been feeling lately? Do you still have morning sickness?”
Stella shook her head.
“Not much lately.
Matthew also noticed that her complexion had improved a lot, and he felt relieved.
He gently reminded her, “If ever you crave something, just let Erin know.
Stella smiled and nodded.
“I understand.
Don’t worry.
| can take care of myself.
Matthew held her in his arms and said, “Bella will go to the hospital tomorrow for treatment, right? Do you want
Stella shook her head.
“No need.
Just focus on your work.
We can manage.
Besides, Alissa will go with us, too.
Stella was obviously very happy when she mentioned Alissa.
“She’s been visiting Mom a lot lately.
At first, | thought that without Bella’s memories of the past, they would feel uncomfortable with each other.
But it doesn’t seem to bother them that much.
