Chapter 804
Edwin had looked into Joanne's life before, so he knew most of her background, but he did not expect that she had
been abused when she was young.
The whole dining room was quiet for a while.
Seeing that Edwin was still staring at her hands, Joanne felt embarrassed and stretched out her tongue to lick her
fingers. The wrapping of her tongue around her fingertips turned into a silent charm in Edwin's eyes.
She took back what she said before as she finally agreed that marrying a man from a family with similar societal
status was important.
Edwin and she were a great example in that case.
They were not from the same class at all, and they were in different circles, so when they lived together, there
were many contradictions in their daily life.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtJust as she was annoyed, Joanne raised her head coldly and saw that Edwin was staring at her strangely. His eyes
seemed to have... reddened slightly as if he wanted to eat her.
Joanne stood up in fright, though she was one meter away from him. "I'm sorry that I disgusted you. I won't be at
the table next time you eat."
Edwin tugged at his tie and thought, 'Is this woman stupid or just pretending to be?'
Turning his head and glaring at her, he strode upstairs.
Halfway through, he suddenly stopped and stared at Joanne. "If you dare to do something like finger-licking in front
of other men, I swear you'll lose your job, and no one will hire you again."
'He could just say it outright if he thinks I'm dirty. Why beat around the bush?!' Joanne was totally mistaken about
Edwin's implication.
When Catelyn came back after washing hands with Miles, she noticed that Edwin was gone. "Mister Atherton
doesn't seem to have eaten much, huh?"
Joanne was embarrassed to say that he disliked the way she ate, so she scratched her head, pretended to not care
about it, and said, " It's okay; that's just how he is. He eats less for several meals to be healthy."
"I can't tell that he's such a healthy man before this."
"Haha...yeah." Joanne faked a smile.
Miles soon became sleepy, so Catelyn helped him shower and then carried him to bed.
Sitting at the bedside and reading fairy tales to him, Miles fell asleep before the story even ended. Catelyn quietly
left the bedroom and planned to go downstairs to chat with Joanne for a while.
What she did not know was that the moment she left, Miles' eyes opened.
The boy glanced at the door of the bedroom and crept out of bed. He placed his ears on the door and quietly
listened to the movement outside for a while.
After confirming that Catelyn had gone downstairs, his expression became very cold.
His sharp eyes were searching back and forth in the guest room. Catelyn had made shoal villa her home for the

He pouted. Although he did not want to unite with Cedrick, Catelyn seemed to be threatened, and she needed
superhero Miles to rescue her.
He felt that Catelyn probably did not want him by her side anymore.
In the study of Green Islands, Cedrick had arranged for his men to find out what Elder Mason might be using to
threaten Catelyn.
Joanne said that she was in a dilemma, so it must be something she cared about. The two children were safe and
sound, so they could not possibly be the leverage.
Stella was lying in the hospital, and none of the medicine or treatment was abnormal, so she was also not a
leverage.
'Hmm. Then, the remaining possibilities are...'
Suddenly, Cedrick's phone rang, and it interrupted his thoughts. Knowing that it was a call from Miles, he accepted
the call, without any nonsense, he asked straight to the point, "what did you find out?" 1
Miles sat on the bedside as his short legs hung above the floor.
