Chapter 114 That enthusiasm was enough to make Heidi finside. Myra had never been this warm toward her. Seeing this, Emma also put on a show of concern, throwing around spleasantries.

Once everyone arrived, dinner began, and the guests took their seats.

Terry sat across from Gregory while Emma sat facing Barbara. Meanwhile, Myra and Edward flanked Janice, leaving Heidi sitting alone at the side.

"Janice, Edward, did you know?" Myra initiated the conversation. "Ms. Ryan here is actually Shirley Olson." Janice raised an eyebrow slightly. Did Heidi really lie about her identity in front of Edward's elders? She certainly had snerve.

Upon hearing this, Heidi set down her cutlery and looked at Edward.

"Edward, I didn't mean to hide it from you. I mentioned it to you that day, but I guess you didn't believe me. That's why I want to join your company; I just want to help support you a little. After all, for our national crochet craft to go global, it has to be top-tier.

"What do you think, Ms. Smith?" Janice smiled. "Of course. But I must say, it's quite surprising to hear you're Shirley Olson. I always thought Shirley was a foreigner." Edward shot Janice a glance but said nothing.

Heidi took a sip of water. "Well, you wouldn't have known. It's not surprising that you didn't believebefore." At this moment, Edward finally spoke up. "So, you're Shirley?" "That's right, Edward." Emma quickly added, "Smithy has always kept a low profile. You two grew up together. If you don't believe her, who else would? She just wants to help you. She never expected all those misunderstandings before. But now that everything is cleared up, Didi still hopes to help you out.

"Building a business alone is tough, after all. As a family friend, I wouldn't want you to be cheated by anyone." That last sentence was clearly aimed at Janice.

"I see." Heidi pursed her lips and smiled. "So, does that mean you're lettingjoin your company, Edward?" Edward slowly put down his cutlery and picked up his phone.

"There's something I'm curious about. If that's the case, why did you behave as if you didn't know us at all when Prosper Stitch Group's team contacted you?" As soon as he said this, Heidi froze.

Had Prosper Stitch Group reached out to Shirley before? And Shirley had replied to them? Myra seized the opportunity in that split second of Heidi's stunned silence. She pulled out her phone.

"I don't think I have your Whatyet. Letadd you. That way, if anyone asks in the future, I can just pass along your work contact and spare you the trouble." Add each other on WhatsApp? Heidi clenched her hands tightly without moving. "I....." "Didi, hurry up and add Mrs. Gallagher," Emma urged in a low voice.

Heidi quickly cup with a lie while keeping a straight face. "Mrs. Gallagher, I'm not logged into my work account. My team handles all of that for me.

"About what Edward mentioned earlier, it was probably my assistant who had replied to Prosper Stitch Group. My ex-assistant was a foreigner, so she might not have recognized Prosper Stitch Group. "In this case, Mrs. Gallagher, you may follow my official account on Instagram, and I'll have my assistant approve your request later."

Janice suddenly asked with a smile, "It's the account with a crochet m needle as the profile picture, right?" Heidi, now flustered, nodded instinctively. "Yes, that's the one." She just wanted to move on from this topic as quickly as possible. However, as soon as she spoke, the room fell into an eerie silence.

Terry, in particular, turned to look at Heidi immediately. His gaze, though not angry, carried a commanding intensity.

Janice slowly picked up her phone and tapped on the profile picture of Shirley Olson's official Instagram on her main personal account.

Controlled and composed, she asked, "That's strange, because on my end, a Shirley has set a photo of double-sided crochet piece as her official Instagram profile picture." Heidi's face turned pale in an instant.
