Chapter 1469
Although Tail had met Edwin, Joanne bought a pair of children's sunglasses for her.
Tail would have to wear them outside from now on, just in case.
Unexpectedly, Ada burst into her bedroom the next morning.
Joanne was getting dressed with Tail when she was startled by the sudden intrusion.
Tail's big eyes opened wide, and she looked curiously at the door. "Ada?"
"Quick! That jerk is at the door. You need to take Tail and hide!" Ada urged Joanne anxiously, her breath coming in
short gasps.
Joanne froze for a moment. "Who?"
"My mother told me earlier to prepare for guests. There's a big shot visiting us today. Then I learned it was Edwin.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtHe informed us about his visit, but I think he's coming for you."
Along with Ada's anxious voice, Joanne's nerves tensed.
Did she even need to guess? Edwin's visit was just a pretext for him to cause her trouble. How could there be such
an annoying pest that couldn't be shaken off?
Joanne hastily picked up Tail and said indignantly, "He won't be that bold to enter the bedroom. Tail and I will hide
here. It will be fine.”
"Makes sense. Stay here then." Ada nodded in agreement.
"Tail, don't run around."
Tail’s big, innocent eyes showed curiosity. "Is someone coming to catch us?"
Joanne replied seriously, "Yes, the trafficker I told you about yesterday is at the door today. He wants to abduct you,
my baby."
"Goodness, I’m scared of child traffickers!" Tail shivered, throwing herself into Joanne's arms and snuggling up
against her, "I don't want to be abducted by the trafficker. I want to stay with you."
"So, you can't run around."
Joanne warned her again.
After hearing this, Tail immediately stood in front of Joanne and declared with determination, "If he comes, I'll fight
him off together with you!"
Joanne was very satisfied with Tail's reaction. It seemed that her warnings had been successful.
But that was not totally a lie. To them, Edwin was just like a child trafficker.
The Mason and Atherton families were the most powerful clans in Sapphire City, while the Brown family was a top
clan
in Mourpa.
It was precisely for this reason that the Brown family planned to expand its business overseas.
Jack opened an entertainment company in Sapphire City just to test the waters.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmSince Edwin and Patrick were related, the butler respectfully welcomed Edwin into the hall.
They walked through a garden with a staggering landscape.
Edwin looked around carefully. The ancient trees in the courtyard reached for the sky. The vines climbed along the
black fence, and flourishing flowers bloomed at their feet.
The willows and branches were lush. The scenery was really pleasant and beautiful.
This was where Joanne had lived for four years.
"Mr. Atherton, please wait for a moment. The hostess and the young lady will be here in a minute." The butler led
Edwin to a seat in the hall and ordered someone to serve tea.
Edwin slowly took a sip of the tea, which was a unique specialty of the country. Its fragrance filled his mouth and
lingered on his lips.
In a short time, Ada emerged, accompanied by a dignified and elegant woman.
Well-maintained, the middle-aged looked like someone in her thirties or forties. The dress she was wearing outlined
her perfect figure.
Ada didn't even bother to give Edwin a straight look, making no effort to hide her disdain.
"Mom, it's you that Mr. Atherton wants to visit. Why did you call me here?"
