When Edwards and Lily went downstairs, they coincidentally saw Lareina carrying Emma upstairs. The little guy was lying on his granny's shoulder in a listless state, and when she saw Edwards and Lily, she weakly shouted out before continuing to close her eyes and sleep.

Edwards and Lily looked at each other and laughed.

"Didn't your brother and Eliza come over for dinner?" Lily casually asked.

"My brother drank a little too much. He called and said he wouldn't be coming over tonight!" Edwards softly replied.

Actually, the reason Joshua didn't go to Wayne Family to eat dinner at night was because Elizabeth was afraid of meeting Lareina.

The old lady had also called John Wayne and his family, asking them to come over. He also work out an excuse for his absent.

John Wayne ordered a table of food at night and wanted Jane Wayne to come over for a meal. He was rejected by Jane Wayne because she said that she was tired and wanted to rest early.

John Wayne had already felt that this adopted daughter was out of his control, but he did not want to force her since her value had already appeared. John Wayne had already successfully bought a share in the company and Jane Wayne had helped him achieve his goal.

Jack Wayne did not know about John Wayne making Jane Wayne go sleep with someone, so when he heard that Jane Wayne did not come to eat, he was a little surprised. "She doesn't look well today, is she sick?"

"It shouldn't be a big deal. Forget about her, let's eat by ourselves." John Wayne said indifferently.

"Father, why do you think Edwards has the evidence, and why hasn't he filed it with the Police station yet? Is he planning to let go of Jane?" Jack Wayne was referring to the matter where Jane Wayne bribed that person to buy Edwards's life from the construction site previously. Edwards should already have sufficient evidence in his hands.

"You are too naive. Don't you see what he is waiting for?" John Wayne laughed out sarcastically.

Recently, Jack Wayne had been busy with matters regarding his own company, so he didn't have the extra heart to guess Edwards's ultimate goal. He glanced at his father, and frowned: "I feel that he might still be thinking about his old relationship. After all, his little sister has taken care of him before, so he might let her off for a bit."

"Heh, I feel like he's waiting for the old man to sink into the earth and become restless before settling this matter with us!" Edwards was a filial grandson who owed the old man a huge debt. The old man could be considered to have carried him all by himself, just like Leonard Wayne in the past, who was also taught by the old man personally. However, the old man had never personally taught him about this, which was one of the things that John Wayne hated the most.

Jack Wayne's expression changed: "He's actually waiting for Grandfather to pass away? Isn't this a bit too much? Could he be hoping that the old man will die quickly and that he'll be able to take control of the entire situation?"

"Maybe this is his goal!" John Wayne purposely misled his son, wanting to make his heart more resolute and ruthless.

As expected, Jack Wayne's face became ugly, as he grinded his teeth and cursed angrily: "That hypocrite Edwards, with a fake face of filial piety and respect, in front of everyone, who would have thought that he would actually have this kind of idea in his heart."

"You have to know, a person's greed and ambition will grow along with the power in his hands. What Edwards wants, will not be little." John Wayne sneered. His expression looked deep as if he had already seen through everyone's personality.

Jack Wayne said angrily: "Even if the old man leaves, he shouldn't even think of taking all the money by himself!"

"Don't worry. With me here, he won't be able to take everything away so easily." John Wayne gritted his teeth and said bitterly.

The father and son duo finished the meal with resentment.

And right now, in a five star hotel, Jane Wayne did not eat a single thing.

She stood by herself at the window, looking at the lights of the entire city. The resentment in her heart seemed to have calmed down a lot.

Just a moment ago, that disgusting man came to replace her again. This five-star hotel was run by him, and Jane Wayne had been arranged to live here by him. His meaning was obvious. It was more convenient for him to do anything to her.

To be honest, that old man treated her quite well. Whatever she wanted, he would give it to her generously.

However, in Jane Wayne's heart, it was as if she had already died.

Her heart had loved someone since she was young, and she valued chastity more than life. But now, she had lost her chastity, as if she had lost her life.

She sighed, closed her eyes, and tried to imagine what it would be like to fall out of here.

However, she knew that she couldn't die at this moment. Even if she died, she wanted to drag someone down with her. She felt that she wasn't the only one who deserved to go to hell.

Joshua and Elizabeth rested on the bed for a few hours. When they woke up, it was already around nine in the night.

"What do you want to eat? I'll cook!" It was not a realistic idea to order this dish out to eat. She could only cook for herself. Elizabeth held onto the man's finger, and asked him softly.

"Lie down. I'll go and see what we can eat!" Joshua got off the bed before her and directly went out. He opened the fridge to take a look and found nothing edible other than some iced drinks. Leaning on his back, Elizabeth glanced over, "There's nothing to eat anymore, why don't I go down and buy some!"

"Let's go together!" Joshua didn't really trust her to go down so late.

"If a Big Star like you were to appear in a supermarket, it would definitely not be appropriate." Elizabeth's popularity was dropping, so she felt that it was most suitable for her to go out. "No, I'll get my assistant to send something over!" After Joshua finished speaking, he went to make a call.

Elizabeth could only allow him to make the call.

Half an hour later, the assistant arrived with a packed dinner.

"I want to go home tomorrow and buy some things for my mom!" Elizabeth said in a low voice.

"I'll go back with you!" Joshua thought that he hadn't seen her mother for so long. This boyfriend was a bit informal.

"Are you coming with me?" Elizabeth was both surprised and pleasantly surprised.

Actually, the relationship between the two of them had developed to this point, and they were no longer as cautious as before. When Joshua asked to go together, Elizabeth actually felt very happy. "Yes, it's time for me to see her!" Joshua nodded.

"Alright then, let's go together!" Elizabeth turned her head, leaning on his shoulder, the corners of her mouth raised in a smile. Joshua tugged her long hair: "What are you planning to buy to send over? Think about it tonight, and buy it tomorrow morning!" "Actually, my mom loves money and jewelry the most!" Elizabeth laughed at herself.

"Um, she's better than you!" Joshua scratched her nose lightly: "You don't seem to be living like a woman. You aren't greedy." "No, I'm greedy. I want you!" Elizabeth immediately denied it.
