Chapter 921
"Miss Clark, Madam Joanne.” Kelly suppressed her inner anxiety, gazed at Joanne quietly, and said with a smile, "Please come with me quickly. All the guests are almost here, and they've been waiting for both of you."
"Joanne, this is Aunt Kelly. You can seek help from Aunt Kelly for anything in the manor," introduced Catelyn.
"Oh, hello, Aunt Kelly, I'm Joanne. Your help would be lovely when I'm around the manor."
Joanne grinned at Kelly. The smile was sincere and naive, and it amused Kelly.
Kelly could not believe that there was such a big contrast between Joanne's personality and the characters she played in the film and TV shows. She seemed to understand why Edwin would fall in love with her.
She shook hands with Joanne and said respectfully, "Madam Joanne, I'll be here for you all the time. By the way, Granny Atherton has been thinking about you."
"There's a show I've been working on, so I'm quite busy lately." Joanne habitually wanted to stroke her long hair, but when she reached halfway, she remembered that she had her hair nicely tied up, so she tidied up the hem of her dress instead.
That was typical behavior of Joanne whenever she lied.
She did not want to come to the manor and deceive a kind, old lady and hurt her with the fact that she was not pregnant.
Fortunately, Catelyn brought the twins back. Otherwise, she would die of guilt.
Kelly brought both of them to the main hall of the manor.
Many societies and wealthy ladies kept coming up to chat with Catelyn. Unsurprisingly, they did not recognize Joanne, but they were very curious as to who the woman that the most respectful daughter of Miss Atherton brought along was.
In the main hall, Sylvie was chatting with her neighbors and close friends in her boudoir. She looked calm, kind, and amiable as she spoke.
"Aww, is she your granddaughter? She's very good-looking!"
"Who's the girl next to her? She's pretty."
"She looks very much like her mother. If I didn't know her age, I would've thought that Summer has returned home."
Everyone was praising Catelyn fondly, and it made Sylvie beam with pride.
Summer ran away from home when she was young, and Sylvie did not have much chance to show her the world. Therefore, she wanted to compensate Catelyn, her granddaughter, for the love and care she failed to give Summer.
She smiled and beckoned for Catelyn and Joanne to come before introducing them.
Everyone was shocked when they heard Sylvie say that Joanne was her granddaughter-in-law.
'Is Edwin married?' was the question in everyone's head at that moment.
