Chapter 1012
"How come it's a coincidence that you bought an expired pregnancy test stick, and it turned out to show two lines? I'm sure someone's trying to use the child to tie herself to Eddy!"
"I didn't!" Joanne yelled back at Harry angrily. "Pretending to be pregnant wasn't my idea at all!"
Sylvie was shocked, and her face suddenly turned pale.
Seeing that, Kelly hurriedly handed her a cup of tea and reprimanded Joanne, "Miss Winters, everyone knows that Master Edwin is obsessed with you. Are you saying that Master Edwin was the one who planned all these to fool Old Madam Atherton? How dare you?!'
Joanne thought of the close relationship between Edwin and Sylvie. If she said it was Edwin's idea, Sylvie would be hurt even more.
After all, being hurt by the one who trusted and cared the most, hurt the most.
A wild thought suddenly occurred to Joanne.
'Noah is back at Edwin's side now, so l'm...basically useless now.'
Gritting her teeth, Joanne said loudly, "Well, since you found out, then I have nothing to say. You can think whatever you want!"
"You're a b*tch!” Harry stepped forward and slapped Joanne. "From today onward, you have no relationship with the Atherton family, and you can no longer be called Eddy's wife to the outside world. I'll have someone send you the divorce agreement.'
Even though she was slapped forcefully by Harry, causing her face to swell red, her heart was unexpectedly calm.
She seemed to have accepted the fact that she was expelled from the Atherton family.
Perhaps she knew from the very beginning that the Atherton family was not her home, and Edwin was not a husband who gave her a sense of security. She knew she would leave that manor one day. It was just that she never thought she would leave the manor in such a miserable way.
There was an instant she evilly thought that she should exploit Sylvie's kindness toward her before her lie was exposed.
"Grandma, thank you very much for taking care of me during this time.
When I leave, promise me to take good care of yourself." Joanne bowed deeply to Sylvie, her eyes reddening as she did.
"Of course I'll take care of my mother. You don't need to pretend to be kind here. Get lost! Kelly, when she packs up, keeps an eye on her. Don't let her take away anything that doesn't belong to her!"
Kelly, too, was surprisingly angry.
'If she dares to take Master Edwin's things indiscriminately, I'll make sure she leaves this house after paying the price she should!"
Kelly has been serving Sylvie for decades, and this was the first time someone dared to fool Sylvie.
Sadly, Sylvie even hired a designer to build a children's playground in the manor for the expected child. She anticipated the child's birth so longingly, too.
