Chapter 1038
The first place Edwin went when he went upstairs was his study. He did not even bother to take off his jacket as he immediately sat in front of his laptop to scroll through news about the entertainment industry.
Maybe he had been staying low-key lately. He used to overtake the headlines, yet at this moment, Patrick was the one all over the news instead.
Patrick Atherton's romance, Patrick Atherton's movie, the actress starring in the same movie as Patrick Atherton...
Various news related to Patrick showed up.
Although Edwin and Patrick were not closely related based on the family tree, they both had the same family name. Looking at some points, they shared strong resemblances in some ways.
Edwin admitted he was annoyed, especially when an idiot actually commented on his social media account and asked to validate his relationship with Joanne.
'Don't he even tell his own idol?' he thought.
When he saw Joanne's name being affiliated with Patrick, he instructed his assistant. "Ban Patrick Atherton's news from appearing. One month-no, three months.
"Disallow any media from reporting anything related to him!"
His assistant felt all too stunned and rushed, but before he could make any response, Edwin added, "Go and look for the screenwriter for my wife's movie, and ask them to alter her role in it. Make her character into a bad character. Have Patrick murder every one of her family in the movie, and the only thing she thinks about every day is how to kill Patrick."
His assistant's bewilderment only prolonged upon hearing this.
When it was time for lunch, Edwin did not come down from his study.
Joanne requested for the female butler to invite Edwin down, but after a while, she came back down, visibly helpless, and shook her head at Joanne.
With her brow furrowed, Joanne went to his study and knocked on his door. "Edwin, don't you want to have your lunch?"
There was no reply.
Joanne wrung her fingers together and added, "Are you still mad the production team used me and Patrick to pull a publicity stunt? I've already told the director about this, and he promised there won't be a next time. Why don't you go downstairs to eat something? You worked really hard last night. You must've consumed a lot of energy-"
Swoosh! The door abruptly opened, and it caught Joanne by surprise. The joke she intended to say was lodged in her throat, and she could not bear to finish it.
Edwin stood still with one hand in his pocket, glaring at her. "Are you sure it was a publicity stunt from the production team?"
"What? Who else would've done it, then?"
"Ha." Edwin let out a contemptuous laugh and slammed the door shut, nearly smacking her nose in the process.
She rolled her eyes. 'Well, he can starve if he doesn't want to eat anything. I'm not the one suffering, anyway!'
He had to be experiencing some sort of menopause. He was so passionate last night, yet today, he fell flat and neurotic.
Just as Joanne feared, Old Madam Atherton happened to read the news about Joanne and Patrick in Sapphire City.
