Semua Bab Our Billion-Worth Twins: Bab 1521 - Bab 1530

Chapter 1522"Who are you people, and what do you want?"In the backseat of the speeding car, Joanne clutched Tail tightly to her chest. She could feel the tiny tremors of fear from the girl's body.Tail had never been exposed to such a terrifying situation.But she gritted her teeth and held on, refusing to let her fear get the better of her. Yet her pale face betrayed her inner panic. Joanne tried to remain calm. She pulled Tail's face into her embrace, shielding her from the gazes of the men in the car.Perhaps if Tail didn't see their faces, she could find some small measure of safety."Don't be afraid. We're not bad people. Our boss just wants to have a word with you," said the man in the lead.The image of a handsome but loathsome face flashed through Joanne's mind. "You were sent by Edwin?"The man didn't respond.The tension in the car was palpable, like sparks igniting in the air. Joanne's voice was tight with anger as she spoke through clenched teeth. "Did you send t

Chapter 1524Shutting his ears to Joanne’s pleading, Edwin kicked open the door, threw Tail into the bedroom, and then locked the door resolutely.Joanne hurried to the room, but only to see Edwin lock the door and warn her. “Don’t think about your daughter. Spend some time worrying about yourself."The next second, Edwin carried Joanne up in his arms.Before Joanne could utter the word “Tail”, Edwin flung her onto the bed. She fell on it and then bounced off the soft mattress. She looked up at Edwin undoing his tie with a smirk.Despite the good sound insulation, Joanne could still vaguely hear her daughter’s helpless sobbing coming from another bedroom.Shocked, she asked, "You... What do you want to do?"Edwin tied her hands to the handle of the bed with his tie. "Don't worry. I won't harm you. I just hope to finish what we didn't finish on our wedding night."With her hands tied, Joanne was in no position to flee. She could only struggle and kick him violently to avoid his

Chapter 1526At the sight of the weak Tail, Joanne felt as if her heart had been pierced, with tears welling up in her eyes. "Tail,” she uttered. Nervousness, worry, anxiety, regret... She had mixed emotions.The next second, she left Edwin’s arms and rushed to pick Tail up from the floor.Due to little strength, the moment Joanne took Tail up, she staggered and then fell down hard on the floor, making a dull and loud sound.When Edwin saw them fall, a wave of sadness came over him.The image in which Tail had scolded him actively came to mind. But now, Tail was frail, totally different from her previous liveliness. Edwin felt anguished, as his heart seemed to be grabbed."Call a doctor! Now!" Joanne shouted at Edwin, embracing Tail tight.With a dark face, Edwin called Lucas at once and then took Tail from Joanne’s arms.As soon as he hugged Tail, he found her body hot all over.She was running a fever.And... She was quite light and skinny. Her bones were against his ar

Chapter 1528Edwin stifled a grunt and quickly stood up, sucking in cool air discreetly.The porridge, fresh out of the oven, had been delivered here at top speed.Immediately, his chest was scalded red.Joanne didn't expect Edwin to get burned. A trace of concern flashed in her eyes before she spoke in a hard voice. "As I said, I don't want to eat. Tail isn't your daughter, so you don't have to worry about her. But I do. If you are hungry, you can go ahead and eat."The veins popped on Edwin's forehead. "I didn't know she was so weak."Joanne was speechless."That's not the excuse you can lock a three-year-old child up in a dark room. Would you do that to your daughter?"Edwin's eyes were filled with deep frustration. He had done that in a fit of pique.His eyes stared at Joanne unblinkingly."What can I do to make you satisfied?"Joanne said with a poker face, "You can't, not until Tail wakes up.""You know that's not what I meant." He was trying to get her to accept his

Chapter 1530"I know you're afraid that I'll mistreat her, but I really didn't mean to do that today. I promise you that I won't do it again in the future, and you need to plan for her future."Joanne was stunned.'Future?'Tail was weak. It was lucky for her to live. It was not that Joanne didn't think about Tail's future. She just didn't dare to have any hope.Joanne subconsciously pinched Edwin's hand.Her fingernails sank into his flesh...The back of Edwin's hand soon bled, but he only embraced her harder. Sweat dripped down his forehead onto her neck."The environment of the set is not good. Moreover, Tail is already three and a half years old. She can go to kindergarten, and if you don't let her get an education, she won't even know how to read. Puffy could read when she was two. Now she can recite many famous poems.Joanne didn't want to talk to him about Tail's education. His actions today had completely disappointed her.He didn't deserve to be Tail's father."Edwi
