Chapter 1033
Meanwhile, on the filming set.
Joanna packed up her things into her bag and walked outside. She did not want to cause any trouble, so she sneaked out
from the back door this time and told no one that she was leaving.
After just leaving for a short while, Miss Reed called her.
"Joanne, are you and Patrick dating?" asked the woman on the other end of the line, and the question, to say the least,
baffled Joanne.
She quickly waved her hand dismissively. "Of course not! That's pie in the sky, isn't it?"
Miss Reed was a very famous celebrity agent that Edwin appointed for her, and Joanne was just an unpopular actress
compared to the others under her management. Perhaps Edwin had put in his words for her that Miss Reed paid more
attention to her.
"Maybe you gave Patrick a pretty good impression. He followed you on Twidder just now, and you're now a trending topic
because of him. Joanne Winters, you're about to be famous."
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtFlabbergasted, Joanne quickly pulled up the news app.
She initially had about several million fans, but at this moment, the number of her fans was increasing at an alarming
speed. She was close to reaching 10 million followers!
The comments she received were quite similar. All of them were scolding her, accusing her of piggybacking on
Edwin's popularity, and how she was not worthy of Edwin.
Her scalp tingled when she noticed she had a new follower. It was Patrick.
[#PatrickAthertonJoanneWinters], [#PatrickAthertonfollowsJoanneWinters ], and [#Myhusbandisinlove.] These
topics were trending.
The weirdest part of all was there were some blurry photos of her on the internet, such as the photos of her sitting
with Patrick under the tree as they went over the script. The reporter used his or her imagination to make up a
story of the secret relationship she had with Patrick.
This whole event annoyed Joanne so much that she felt like ending herself. How hard was it for her to be an actress
without being involved in these dramatic rumors?
Miss Reed waited for Joanne's reply, but all she had was Joanne's gasps and subsequent curses just as she was
about to say something. Miss Reed swallowed whatever comforting words she was about to say to Joanne.
After they ended the call, Joanne kept on receiving calls on her phone.
Those unscrupulous reporters cared about her more than her mother did, and it triggered Joanne so badly that she
decided to turn off her phone.
All she could think of was to get home as soon as possible to create an anonymous account to fight back at the
anti-fans. She could accept the self -proclaimed Patrick's wives to express their dissatisfaction, but not those who
cursed her family!
Depressed and flustered, she hurried to the roadside to hail a taxi. As she walked on a small path, the trees'
shadows on both ends swayed.
All of a sudden, someone leaped from behind her and cupped his hand over her mouth. Before Joanne could
scream for help, the person dragged her to a ghastly area near the wall.
Terrified to the core and with widened eyes, she flailed and swung her limbs at every angle possible to fend off the
gangster that was dragging her.
'When did security in the filming set get this bad?!'
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmThe man was aggressive, impatient as he placed his hands on the wall. Not giving her a chance to react, he
overshadowed his body to hers and lowered his head, seizing her lips with his thin lips in a kiss.
Their lips meshed together, and the man kissed like he had been yearning for it fora longtime.
Joanne, however, felt chills running up and down her spine at such ferocity.
'Oh, no... Oh, no! I think I just ran out of pepper spray. Wait...why is this breath smell so familiar?' she thought.
She bent her arms and used her elbow to push against the man's chest.
Edwin's mind was near the brink of a meltdown as he forced himself to talk, albeit hoarsely, "It's me."
"How the hell do I know who you are... Wild Beast?" Joanne was surprised when she finally knew who the man was.
He had the smell of alcohol mixed with cigarettes in his mouth. It sickened Joanne and she tried to push him away.
However, it only made Edwin hug her tighter. He also took the chance to invade Joanne's personal space by thrusting his
waist at her.
"Give me!” he growled.
Joanne's expression stiffened.
She bit on the tip of his tongue, and instantly, a metallic taste filled his mouth.
Edwin felt the pain and breathed heavily as he pulled back his tongue from her mouth.
