Chapter 112 "Like you said, they're just rumors." Jacob seemed a little disappointed. "Oh, okay." He realized he had taken a liking to Edward, whom he had only met twice.
At least, Edward seemed more reliable than Simon, and he looked like he was capable of protecting Janice.
Edward sat in his Bentley by the roadside. He looked up casually and immediately spotted Janice, who donned a white coat and black boots that day. Her slightly wavy hair bounced as she braved against the winter breeze to walk to him.

"You said you'd have guests over tonight, didn't you? I ordered sgifts for your mom and aunt too, and I picked them up just now." Edward lowered his gaze with a smile. "Alright." The car drove off toward the Moore residence.
At 5:30 pm, Emma arrived at the Moore residence and wrapped Barbara in an enthusiastic hug. "Gosh, Mrs. Moore! It's been a while!" "Hello, Mrs. Moore," Gregory greeted Barbara politely before acknowledging Terry and Myra. "Hi, Mr. and Mrs. Gallagher." Heidi was dressed to the nines. She had put extra effort into her makeup that day. She chirped, "Hi, Mr. and Mrs. Gallagher." Barbara said, "Please take your seats. I made stea." When they settled down, Gregory chatted with Terry. Meanwhile, Emma wouldn't let go of Heidi's hand. "Didi is too busy lately, or she would've cup with new crochet products for both of you, Mr. and Mrs. Gallagher." Heidi flashed a gentle smile and kept her poise. "Mrs. Moore, Mrs. Gallagher, I hope you don't mind my humble gift." "Oh, don't be silly!" Barbara accepted the handkerchiefs. "I've always wanted one. Thank you, Ms. Ryan." Heidi wondered why Barbara had addressed her in such a formal manner.
On second thought, she realized that Barbara could be showing respect after knowing she was Shirley Olson. She reassured herself quietly, "That must be the reason." Heidi purposely took a seat beside Barbara and held Barbara's arm. "Mrs. Moore, drop any formalities when you're with me. Don't worry about my title or reputation. I'm younger than you, so it only makes sense that I show you respect." Emma beamed warmly, thinking that Heidi was such a blessing to the family.
At that moment, Myra asked, "Ms. Ryan, have you stopped participating in competitions lately?" Heidi's eyes flickered, but she lied with a straight face, "Well... I've just returned to the country. I wanted to offer Edward shelp in his company, but I ran into sissues. That's why I have to postpone the launch of my new crochet products." The Moores and the Gallaghers surely wouldn't look into the matter, especially the Moores, who kept a low profile. That would help Heidi cover up her lie.
Besides, the world was a huge place. She wouldn't be that unlucky to run into the real Shirley Olson, would she? That was impossible.
So, Heidi wasn't all that worried.
At that moment, Simon was calling Heidi urgently, but she silently rejected his call. This happened a few times until Barbara asked, "Why aren't you picking up?" Heidi chuckled uncomfortably and picked up Simon's call.

Simon's urgent voice blasted from the phone. "Ms. Olson the crochet product you gave me,"
Since Barbara was around, Heidi hurriedly corrected Simon, Didn't) e tell you to call'Heidi'?" Then, she got up and continued the conversation somewhere quiet.
Once Heidi was gone, Barbara and Myra exchanged a look.
Barbara said, "Mrs. Ryan, please be seated. I'm going to check erdhen food in the kitchen. 1 made roast chicken because I heard you like it." "Oh, you didn't have to!" Emma was all smiles. "Mrs. Moore, thank you so much." When both Barbara and Myra were in the kitchen, Myra arched a brow.
"Is Heidi Ryan really Shirley Olson?"
