Chapter 1013
Joanne stared at the check in front of her, written with a handsome sum.
In the past, Sylvie often gave her a check, saying it was her pocket money. At this moment, however, it was nothing but
hush money.
Joanne had quietly left with a cab under the bright moonlight.
The whole manor was well furnished, but Sylvie felt empty. All the feelings and expectations that she had for Joanne for
the past few months vanished.
Kelly came back and told Sylvie that Joanne was a hypocrite after all and left without taking any money.
Sylvie sighed faintly, unable to tell whether it was more anger or more helplessness in her heart.
She could barely sleep a wink that midnight, so she got up, went to Edwin's bedroom, and turned on the light. The

In fact, there was something on the nightstand.
It was the silver bracelet she gave to Joanne before.
Seeing Sylvie staring at the silver bracelet in a daze, Kelly, thinking that her heart was softening, immediately said,
“Joanne said that she felt guilty, so she wanted to return this bracelet to you."
“She doesn't deserve a nice silver bracelet, then." Sylvie took back the silver bracelet, feeling a flash of disgust.
Edwin was photographed entering the hospital late at night, and the news spread quickly.
Sylvie also saw the news.
So, members of the Atherton family went to the hospital to visit Edwin one after another.
Edwin waited for a long time, but Joanne did not show up at the end of the day. Instead, Noah came to the hospital
every day and was very attentive when it came to taking care of Edwin.
Still, Noah did not dare to meet Harry, so she deliberately avoided the Atherton family whenever they visited.
On the third day, Edwin insisted on being discharged from the hospital. Based on the fact that his injuries were not
serious, the doctor allowed the request.
He could not wait to go back and punish his wife who literally made him wait.
However, Joanne was nowhere to be seen when he returned to the manor.
He tried to call Joanne, but her phone seemed to be turned off already. Edwin turned around and asked Kelly,
"Where's Joanne?'
"Master Edwin, just leave this matter alone. The doctor said that you have a head injury and a slight concussion.
You'd better rest for a few days..." advised Kelly, albeit sheepishly.
Edwin frowned. When he passed the baby's room, he saw that everything inside had been emptied.
Something was wrong, and he could feel it.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmAs soon as he came back, he felt that something was missing at home, and only at this moment did he realize that all
the things he and Joanne prepared for the baby were gone.
'Let me ask you one last time: where is Joanne?"
Kelly was silent in embarrassment, and after a while, she gritted her teeth and said, "Joanne's fake pregnancy has been
exposed, and Old Madam Atterton kicked her out of the manor. Master Edwin, don't let her deceive you again..."
Edwin was startled at first, but everything pieced together for him.
During the two days he was in the hospital, Joanne must have exposed herself accidentally, and the family found out
that she had been faking a pregnancy.
'Where is she now?" Edwin asked again.
'Don't worry about Joanne. That woman is so scheming and has been deceiving you and Old Madam Atherton. She even
suffered from high blood pressure and almost went to the hospital! Why don’t you go and see her first?" Kelly tried to
direct Edwin's attention to Sylvie's health.
