Chapter 921
"Miss Clark, Madam Joanne." Kelly suppressed her inner anxiety, gazed at Joanne quietly, and said with a smile, "Please come with me quickly. All the guests are almost here, and they've been waiting for both of you."
"Joanne, this is Aunt Kelly. You can seek help from Aunt Kelly for anything in the manor," introduced Catelyn.
"Oh, hello, Aunt Kelly, I'm Joanne. Your help would be lovely when I'm around the manor."
Joanne grinned at Kelly. The smile was sincere and naive, and it amused Kelly.
Kelly could not believe that there was such a big contrast between Joanne's personality and the characters she played in the film and TV shows. She seemed to understand why Edwin would fall in love with her.
She shook hands with Joanne and said respectfully, "Madam Joanne, I'll be here for you all the time. By the way, Granny Atherton has been thinking about you."
"There's a show I've been working on, so I'm quite busy lately." Joanne habitually wanted to stroke her long hair, but when she reached halfway, she remembered that she had her hair nicely tied up, so she tidied up the hem of her dress instead.
That was typical behavior of Joanne whenever she lied.
She did not want to come to the manor and deceive a kind, old lady and hurt her with the fact that she was not pregnant.
Fortunately, Catelyn brought the twins back. Otherwise, she would die of guilt.
Kelly brought both of them to the main hall of the manor.
Many societies and wealthy ladies kept coming up to chat with Catelyn. Unsurprisingly, they did not recognize Joanne, but they were very curious as to who the woman that the most respectful daughter of Miss Atherton brought along was. In the main hall, Sylvie was chatting with her neighbors and close friends in her boudoir. She looked calm, kind, and amiable as she spoke.
"Aww, is she your granddaughter? She's very good-looking!"
"Who's the girl next to her? She's pretty."
"She looks very much like her mother. If I didn't know her age, I would've thought that Summer has returned home."
Everyone was praising Catelyn fondly, and it made Sylvie beam with pride.
Summer ran away from home when she was young, and Sylvie did not have much chance to show her the world. Therefore, she wanted to compensate Catelyn, her granddaughter, for the love and care she failed to give Summer. She smiled and beckoned for Catelyn and Joanne to come before introducing them.
Everyone was shocked when they heard Sylvie say that Joanne was her granddaughter-in-law.
'Is Edwin married?' was the question in everyone's head at that moment.
Joanne, who was being looked at from head to toe by those noble ladies, blushed uncomfortably. She and Edwin agreed that their marriage would not be made public, so her work would not be affected.
All that, and Sylvie just said it so openly, and everyone in the hall knew about it! Even though there were no media present that day, she still felt uncomfortably weird.
"Joanne, come here." Sylvie smiled and waved to Joanne.
When Joanne faced Sylvie, she smiled. "Yes, G-Grandma?"
"The last meeting was in a hurry, so I didn't have time to pick a proper greeting gift for you. This is a gift from the Atherton family to you, my granddaughter-in-law. Please accept it." Sylvie opened a box in her hand and took out a shiny, silver bracelet. She then wore it on Joanne's wrist.
The silvery jewelry on Joanne's white skin made her look even more elegant.
Joanne knew at a glance that the bracelet was expensive and tremblingly wanted to return it.
