Chapter 792
Joanne's eyes widened as a twinkle of hope flashed in them, she stretched her neck, anticipating the photos.
Edwin looked away from her white neck, calmly took out his phone, clicked on the album, and pressed the TV-
sharing button.
The pattern of the phoenix bracelet instantly appeared on the LCD TV screen in the living room. Before Edwin could
introduce them to the two, Catelyn shrank her eyes suddenly, staring at the pattern, and asked, "Mister Atherton,
are you saying that this bracelet is the inheritance bracelet of your family?"
"Yes. It was passed on to the eldest daughter of the next of kin, but my aunt fell out with my grandmother twenty
years ago and took this bracelet with her. It's been said that it has disappeared ever since."
Noting Catelyn's peculiar behavior, Edwin added, "Have you seen it before?"
"My mother used to hang a family photo in the bedroom, and there was a bracelet that was very similar to this one,

The family photo had been hanging in Stella's bedroom for many years. Although Catelyn usually helped her to
clean her room, she had never paid close attention to the photo.
It just happened that when she saw the picture on Edwin's phone, the relevant memories of the bracelet came back
into her head.
The longer she stared at it, the more she found it similar to Quinn's bracelet.
That bracelet was closely related to Lisa, and that was why Edwin frowned and asked suspiciously, "where is that
family portrait? Take me to see it right now."
"Alright."
Edwin ordered the driver to prepare the car, intending to find the family photo.
Joanne also wanted to go with him, but she was overworked last night and felt rather dizzy. She only managed to
stand up and walked a few steps before she fell limply forward. Her knee accidentally bumped the leg of the coffee
table because of that.
She groaned in pain and limped on one leg.
Edwin noticed her odd behavior and asked, "what's the matter?"
"I'm fine; just a light bump is all. Let's go see the family portrait now." Joanne stood up with the support from the
coffee table and shook her right leg. she felt like that was a bad omen.
She had long disliked Quinn, and it was time to expose her.
"Calm down. The family portrait isn't going anywhere, stop moving around. Do you think it looks good if you're
lame?" Seeing that Joanne was going to run out, Edwin took a few steps forward and wound his arm around her
waist.
"W—What are you doing?" Joanne was hoisted bridal style as Edwin's arm went underneath her knees.
Looking at him from this angle, she could see the man's jawline. Coupled with his attractive eyes and silhouette
against the warm light, she started to feel butterflies in her stomach.

you? You weren't born pretty, and if you fall and smash your face, don't expect me to take you for plastic surgery."
"Shut up. Have you not heard that beauty is a woman's wealth? Don't curse me!" Joanne nestled in his arms and
touched her face. She was a celebrity, so her beauty meant a lot to her.
Speaking of beauty in the entertainment industry, she always thought that those actresses who worked hard were
because they were not innately gorgeous.
Edwin threw her back on the couch and held her arm with one hand so she would not move, and he then lifted her
leg to check the bruise. It looked rather concerning, but it was not a serious injury either.
"Гт really curious. You can even fall while walking on a flat surface. How did you manage to survive all these
years?"
"Everyone has their first time in their lives!" replied Joanne proudly.
Edwin glared at her before turning to Catelyn and said, "I think you didn't rest well last night. You should stay. Give
me the address and key, and I'll find it myself."
Truth be told, Catelyn was suffering from dizziness and headache from being drunk, so she relented and told Edwin
the address.
