Chapter 1470
Mrs. Brown's face darkened. She glared at Ada and then smiled at Edwin. "Mr. Atherton, Ada is spoiled. I hope you
don't mind her."
"Ada is straightforward. I like that." A shrewd look flashed across Edwin's eyes. He beckoned Lucas.
Lucas immediately gave the gift he had prepared in advance to Mrs. Brown.
Edwin had a smile and said, "I hope my visit didn't disturb you. I heard you like Lewis Guthur's paintings. A client
gave me a piece of his painting the other day, so I brought it to you."
Mrs. Brown's favorite painter is Lewis Guthur, but most of his paintings on the market were fake. His original works
were hard to see.
Hearing that Edwin would give her a painting by Lewis Guthur, Mrs. Brown showed an expectant look. "You have a

Edwin raised his eyebrows and replied, "Yes, but I'm not interested in paintings. I can't tell if it's authentic or not. I
have heard that you have a good taste for paintings, so I am ready to learn from you.'
Ada was disgusted by Edwin's words.
'Shame on Edwin! Why did he flatter my mother? He's doing it for a purpose. No wonder Jo was bewitched by him!'
The housekeeper handed the painting to Mrs. Brown. Mrs. Brown opened the scroll and looked at it. The painting
was definitely Lewis Guthur’s.
A Lewis Gurthur painting was worth tens of millions of dollars. Mrs. Brown liked the gift so much.
Mrs. Brown had a big smile. She thanked Edwin, "Mr.
Atherton, you are too generous. I do like paintings, but I'm not an artist. If you're interested, let's talk about Lewis
Guthur."
Edwin smiled. "Yes, I am very interested."
Then the two started talking about Lewis Guthur and his works in the living room.
Young as Edwin was, he was not intimidated by Mrs. Brown. When they were chatting, he was polite and dignified.
Ada was bored with their conversation. She was almost asleep. She thought Edwin was hypocritical!'
Soon, it was going to be noon. Ada wondered if Edwin would stay and have lunch.
Ada sat up bluntly at the thought of this possibility.
'Damn it! How could I forget that? Edwin clearly wants to stay!'
Just then, Mrs. Brown suggested, "Mr. Atherton, I really like young people like you.
Since you don't have a house in Mourpa, why don't you stay with us? Neither my son nor my daughter is interested
in art.
I really enjoy your company."
"No!" Ada's eyes widened. Before Edwin could answer, she hurriedly interrupted Mrs. Brown. "Mom, Mr. Atherton
likes to stay in the presidential suite at the International Hotel. Why would he stay in our guest room? Mother, you

Edwin narrowed his eyes with a teasing smile and replied," It's my honor to be here. I'd love to."
Then he turned to Ada and said in a serious voice, "Miss Brown, did I do something that annoyed you? You don't
seem happy with me since I came here."
He was now certain that Joanne was in the house.
And he was determined to stay at the Brown house.
Hearing Edwin's words, Mrs. Brown cast an unhappy look at Ada.
Edwin was a guest after all and he was related to Patrick.
Mrs. Brown had received a gift from Edwin, so she thought she should show some hospitality. She knew her
daughter well, so she threw a warning look at Ada.
Ada was not happy with her mother's warning glance, but she couldn't tell her mother that she didn't like Edwin
because of Joanna. She grunted. "You should know what you did to Patrick years ago!"
Mrs. Brown turned to Edwin with a puzzled look in her eyes.
