Chapter 793
"That portrait should be on the wall in my mother's bedroom."
"Alright, then." Although Edwin was anxious to see the family portrait, he did not forget to instruct a maid to help
Joanne ice her wound.
Joanne sighed. "It's so good to be rich, Cat. I'm telling you, Cat: All it takes is a ring of the bell on my bedside,
whether I wanted to eat or play, the maids would bring it to me without me leaving the bed. No wonder so many
people want to be capitalists."
Catelyn laughed and joked, "Well, you've already upgraded to a rich lady."
"I'm not!" Joanne was very self-aware, she patted her purse and said bluntly, "My savings haven't reached thirty
thousand dollars, which is far from the definition of being rich!"
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtMonique Entertainment relied only on Joanne to make money over the years, yet they gave her only a small
proportion of the shares. In addition, she had been contributing to charity work, so there were not a lot of savings in
her account.
Catelyn was lying on the couch with her, looking up at the splendid crystal chandelier and slowly got lost in a daze.
"You're now Missus Atherton, and Mister Atherton will satisfy you with whatever you want. Don't live a sober life.
Living with wealth, sometimes it's better to be a little confused."
Joanne blinked and muttered in a low voice, "I plan to have a baby in two years. Maybe something will change by
then."
'Will Edwin abandon me and take the children away from me in the future?' fretted Joanne internally.
'I guess I'll have to do what Cat has done by then; secretly taking the children away.'
That afternoon, Cedrick brought Miles, who was babbling endlessly, to shoal villa.
Joanne was basking in the sun in the garden, leaning lazily on the sun lounger, and listening to melodious music.
When she saw Miles, she got up from the sun lounger excitedly. "Ah! It's Miles, my sweetie!"
She quickly hoisted him into his arms and peppered his face with kisses.
Miles wiped off the saliva in disgust and said without squinting, " Godmother, where's Big Kitty?"
"She's resting upstairs."
Joanne watched vigilantly at the tall man who followed Miles. He was carrying a suitcase in his hand.
‘Don't tell me he wants to live here...'
Joanne would not allow that to happen. Elder Mason would torture Mister Clark if he knew about this!
She could not bear to see Catelyn blaming herself anymore!
"Master Cedrick, Catelyn told you very clearly last time to not disturb her and give her some space. Is it that hard?
If you get close to her again, you'll drive her nuts!" Joanne raised her voice to emphasize that with a straight face.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmCedrick tightened his grip on the suitcase handle. "Do you know why she left me?"
Joanne suddenly covered her mouth and shook her head like a rattle. "No, I don't."
"You claim to be her best friend, but you chose to turn a blind eye when she divorced me suddenly and suffered
from inner pain. Is this what you call a bestie?" Cedrick stared at Joanne as his tone turned cold.
It was at this moment Joanne decided to no longer pretend and come clean.
"Yes, I know why she left you, so quit provoking me. I won't tell you! It's her business. Unless she's willing to tell you
personally, I won't betray her."
She admitted that she was not smart enough, but that did not mean she was brainless.
If it was something else, she would dare to tell Cedrick about it.
However, if she pointed it out to Cedrick, he and Elder Mason might turn against each other, which would put Mister
Clark's life in danger.
Cedrick sneered, "Do you think you're helping her by that? That only deepens her pain."
