    Lucas maintained an appropriate smile towards Joanne.


    "Ms. Walters, nice to meet you. I am Mr. Atherton''s assistant Lucas. What a coincidence to see you


    again!"


    ''See you again? Have we met before?'' Joanne thought to herself.


    Joanne smiled politely, without revealing her true feelings.


    Upon seeing Edwin, she finally understood why Sharon''s expression had changed so quickly.


    Sharon had been trying to y the innocent victim and even med Joanne for pushing and hitting


    her! Sure enough, Sharon was used to being arrogant and domineering, and now she was pretending


    to show such a pitiful look.


    Feeling the atmosphere was a bit tense, Edwin noticed that Joanne had hardly looked at him since he


    entered the store.


    She had even greeted Lucas!


    After a moment of awkward silence, Edwin suppressed his irritation and disgust, and he looked at


    Sharon. "Aren''t you ashamed to keep lying on the ground? Get up!"

    Sharon didn''t notice Edwin''s displeasure at all, for she thought he was angry with Joanne. After all,


    Edwin always tried to maintain a good image in public.


    "Mr. Atherton, it seems that I identally twisted my ankle and it hurts a bit. Could you lend me a


    hand?" Sharon asked.


    Edwin smirked, "If that''s the case, you can keep lying there."


    Sharon was dumbfounded.


    She had fallen down, and even had blood on her knee to make the whole thing look more real. Why


    wouldn''t he help her up?


    Feeling wronged, Sharon sat on the ground, and tears started to stream down her cheeks.


    Seeing this, Teresa quickly adjusted her hair and stepped forward to help Sharon stand up. With her


    eyes filled with deep affection, she looked at Edwin respectfully.


    "Mr. Atherton, it''s been a long time. How have you been recently?" Teresa said with a smile.


    Ever since Edwin returned to the Atherton family, he rarely attended events held by those involved in


    the entertainment industry.


    Even if there were red carpet events or award ceremonies rted to Eclipse Worldwide Entertainment


    Co., or if the organizers invited him to be a guest presenter, Edwin always declined.


    Teresa had befriended Sharon just to get closer to Edwin, believing that if Sharon could win his favor,


    she might have a greater chance.


    However, Edwin had been ignoring Teresa.


    Teresa''s hand was left hanging in mid-air, which was so awkward.


    "Mr. Atherton, my hand is getting tired," Teresa joked, trying to ease the mood.


    Sharon finally realized that Teresa was flirting with Edwin in front of her!


    "Hubby, please let me introduce Teresa to you. She is an actress in the entertainment industry." By


    saying this, Sharon quickly distanced herself from Teresa and subtly asserted her identity as Edwin''s


    wife.


    Upon hearing "hubby" from Sharon, Edwin naturally nced at Joanne. But she just stood there silently


    without obvious reactions, as if none of this had anything to do with her.


    Joanne didn''t seem to care whether he was another woman''s husband or not!


    All his expectations werepletely shattered. When he thought of Joanne''s intimacy with Jack, his


    deep eyes instantly lost any warmth, and he spat out a few words coldly, "I don''t remember."


    Feeling Edwin''s sarcasm, Teresa looked a bit embarrassed, and a forced smile appeared on her face.


    "Hubby!" Sharon interrupted Teresa''s attempt at getting cozy with Edwin. She grabbed Edwin''s arm


    and acted coquettish. "You came just in time. Ollie also falls in love with the dress you n to buy for


    me. He even insisted I take it off. I told him he was insulting you by doing this, but he made the


    bodyguards threaten me. Luckily, you came just in time."
