Chapter 1426

Sharon's voice was delicate, and it went straight to Joanne's heart.

She had never seen this side of Sharon before. It was as if the domineering Sharon from before was just an illusion.

Edwin's fists were clenched tightly at his sides, his knuckles white.

Before he could push Sharon away, he noticed Joanne’s reaction. The indifference in her eyes stung his heart.

He wished that Joanne would rush over and push Sharon away, telling her that she was not worthy of him.

But throughout the entire encounter, Joanne had remained indifferent and, if anything, showed signs of hatred.

There was not a trace of jealousy in her eyes.

"Ollie, why do you want the dress? It's not like you'll wear it." Edwin tried to control his anger.

Ollie frowned in disgust. Although he didn't quite understand the complicated relationship between the adults, he

was determined to support his godmother. Holding onto Joanne's hand, he said resolutely, "I don't like this woman

next to you. I think Ms. Walters would look better in it. What, do you want to fight me for it?"

The boy raised his head slightly, looking a bit arrogant.

His likes and dislikes were clearly written on his face.

Sharon was almost fuming with anger. Her shoulders drooped in defeat.

"If you don’t like me, that's fine. But don't be fooled by Joanna! She's always been good at pretending to be gentle

and deceiving soft-hearted men like you. Last time, I even saw her crying on Director Freddie's shoulder, trying to

get an important role in the movie. I'm only saying this for your good!"

Joanne's eyes were icy as she spoke, "Mrs. Atherton, your ability to twist the truth is truly remarkable! When did I

ever cry on Director Freddie's shoulder? In fact, I recall you threatening the assistant director for the role of Shirly.

But your acting was so lackluster that you were left in the dust and eventually kicked off the cast."

Sharon, backed by Edwin, retorted with sarcasm, "Stop spouting nonsense! The director had already chosen me. If

it weren't for your scheme, how could the role have fallen into your hands?"

"Enough!" Edwin's stern voice silenced the two.

It seemed that she could now casually address Sharon as Mrs. Atherton, as if he no longer existed in her heart.

Four years apart, had her heart grown so cold?

"Ollie, I'll take this dress. Will you do me this favor?"

Ollie felt Joanne's grip on his hand tightened. He raised an eyebrow and shook his head seriously. "Even if I wanted

do you this favor, it depends on whether the one on your side is worth it."

"That's my business," Edwin declared imposingly. "Take Puffy and the bodyguards and leave."

Joanne was now furious with Edwin. She couldn't help but laugh.

"You're quite the protector of your wife. For Mrs. Atherton's sake, do you even intend to bully the young? Aren't you

afraid of being ridiculed? But since you said so, let's say we're wrong about you. Let's go."

Joanne grabbed Ollie's and Puffy’s hands and said before leaving, "I wish Mr. and Mrs. Atherton a lifetime of

happiness together, and may you have children soon."

"Wait!" Edwin saw the sarcasm in her eyes, and his heart tightened. He abruptly went forward and grabbed her

wrist." Since you said I'm here to protect my wife, how do you explain pushing down Sharon just now? I won't allow

anyone to bully her. Apologize to her!"

Apologize to Sharon?

His grip caused pain to her bones, but his words made her laugh.

"She fell on her own, so why should I apologize? Are you blind or something?"

Joanne tried to break free from his grasp, but Edwin's grip was too tight. She glared at him and snapped, "Let go of

me, or I'll sue you for harassment."
