Our Billion-Worth Twins

Chapter 1435

At once, a strong uneasiness came over Joanne, and she could not sleep well all night.

The next morning, Joanne went to the Atherton Group, wearing a mask, to ask Edwin for a clear explanation.

Yet the receptionist stopped her. NôvelDrama.Org: text © owner.

"Miss, do you have an appointment with Mr. Atherton?"

"No," Joanne answered honestly. She had just called Edwin, but he didn't answer.

"Then I'm sorry. Mr. Atherton is not available now," the receptionist replied with a hint of contempt on her face.

Ever since Edwin came to the Atherton Group from Eclipse Worldwide Entertainment Co., many women wanted to take the opportunity to approach him.

The receptionist had to deal with a lot of women every day.

Sensing the receptionist’s suspicion, Joanne waved her phone to show the call history on it.

"Although there is no appointment, I talked to Edwin on the phone last night..."

The receptionist froze at the words. Under Joanne's gaze, she called the security office. "There's another woman pretending to know Mr. Atherton and coming to the lobby to

cause trouble. Come and deal with her."

'Another woman?'

Joanne realized that something was wrong. Before she could say anything, she heard the receptionist say with sarcasm, "Some women are really annoying. Mr. Atherton is no longer in showbiz, and they still want to flatter him.

They're so thick-skinned."

Joanne was speechless. She did not want to argue with the receptionist here, so she went to the nearby waiting area.

She didn't believe Edwin could hide in the office all day.

However, Joanne waited until noon when the employees took a lunch break, and she didn't see Edwin.

Lucas came into the lobby and saw Joanne sitting on the sofa in the waiting area.

"Ms. Walters, what are you doing here?"

"Mr. Cooper, you're just in time. This woman has no appointment with Mr. Atherton, yet she won't leave." The receptionist ran to Lucas eagerly, trying to impress him.

Lucas's handsome face darkened.

The receptionist subconsciously thought that Lucas was angry because Joanne was staying in the company.

"How can you be so shameless? Mr. Atherton doesn't even know who you are, so how can he possibly want to see you? Leave quickly, or I'll have guards drive you away..."

Lucas' face became increasingly sullen as he gazed coldly at the receptionist.

He thought, 'Joanne is Mr. Atherton's beloved wife.

'How dare she drive Joanne away?'

The receptionist panicked under Lucas' gaze. "Mr. Cooper... Did I say something wrong?"

"Ms. Walters, it's all my fault for not disciplining my subordinates. Don't take it to heart..." Lucas smiled at Joanne and turned to the receptionist. "Listen, Ms. Walters is Mr. Atherton's guest. From now on, if she comes to Mr. Atherton, she doesn't need to make an appointment. Just lead her to CEO's exclusive elevator."

The receptionist gasped.

It was the first time she saw Lucas treat a woman so politely.

Lucas was even indifferent to Sharon, who called herself Mrs. Atherton.

The receptionist was stunned and bowed to Joanne repeatedly. "I ... I'm sorry, Ms. Walters. I didn't mean to do that. I thought you were one of those women who covet Mr.

Atherton's money. Please forgive me..."

Joanne ignored her and asked Lucas, "I just want to see Edwin as soon as possible. Can you take me to him?"
