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."
