Chapter 105
Sharon was pushed off balance, and as she steadied herself, she saw a young face contorted with anger.
It was Tira
âMs. Stanley, whatâs the meaning of this?â she asked coldly, rubbing her arm where it had been grabbed.
Tinaâs onceâelegant face was twisted with rage. âSharon, did you really think that when I said you could remarry Edwin, I meant it? Iâm telling you the truth. I was just trying to provoke Tilda. Donât get your hopes up!â
Sharon had already seen through this, and naturally, she wasnât holding her breath.
With a faint, cold smile? Sharon replied. âMs. Stanley, donât you remember? I declined at the timeâ
âIf you refused, then why are you still clinging to Irene? Sheâs a child of the Stanley family, Tina said with a look of distrust. âYou have no connection to the owner of Bisney Entertainment. Youâre just trying to use Irene to get Edwin to remarry you, arenât you?
âSharon, if you were honest with me about wanting to remarry Edwin, I might have respected you more. But to scheme in secret while pretending to be noble, thatâs just disgusting!â
Sharon looked at Tinaâs furious expression and couldnât help but frown slightly.
Edwin had already let her go, so why was Tina still so fixated on this?
This is 2 m
is 2 million dollars, a sum youâd never earn in a lifetime! Take the money and hand Frene over to me immediately!â Tina threw a check at her chest.
Sharon glanced down at the check, and it was indeed for 2 million dollars.
The mere 2 million dollars, and Tina thought she could flaunt it in front of her How laughable!
Sharon pressed her lips together, not letting the sarcasm show, and instead, she dangled the check between two fingers in front of Sharon. âAnd if I
âI see youâre still not willing to give up!â As soon as Tina finished speaking, she raised her hand and commanded. Take her away and lock her up!â
No sooner had Tinaâs words faded than four burly men approached from all directions.
The men advanced on Sharon step by step.
Sheâs resorting to force to make me agree to hand over Irene, Sharon thought to herself.
Sharonâs expression changed slightly as she clenched her fist, ready to act.
Before Sharon could make a move, there was a loud thud,
One of the four men was knocked down by someone so swiftly that Tina didnât even see the motion.
She was about to curse, her eyes blazing with anger, but then she recognized the face of the person who had helped.
Sharon also recognized her savior.
It was a handsome face, clear and bright.
âRay?â Tina exclaimed.
The remaining three men who were about to attack Ray paused upon hearing her call.
Ray
rolled his sleeves back, first checking Sharon to make sure she was unharmed before turning to Tina. âTina, causing a scene like this in public, donât you worry about bringing disgrace to the Stanley family if itâs caught on camera!â
âAh..âTinaâs face flushed suddenly.
She looked around nervously, realizing that in her anger, sheâd nearly forgotten about her reputation
âItâs her fault for being so stubborn and fighting me over this? Tina growled in dissatisfaction.
Ray took the check from Sharonâs hand, grasped Tinaâs, and placed it back into her palm. âNo matter the reason, resorting to violence is wrong. I think Edwin wouldnât want you to cause
use such a fuss eitherâ
At the mention of Edwin, a hint of fear crossed Tinaâs face.

She actually had a deepâseated respect for Edwin
But the fact that Sharon dared to provoke her still didnât sit well with her. âIn any case, I will not give her a chance to entangle herself with Edwin!â
âMr. Stanley, if my previous stance wasnât clear enough, let me reiterate with full seriousness. I have no intentions towards Edwin Sharonâs gaze was resolute, and then she asked, âWould you like me to put it in writing?â
Without waiting for Tinaâs response, Sharon pulled out a piece of paper and pen and quickly wrote something down
In a moment. Sharon handed the paper to Tina. There you go, with my signature! If I break this promise, Ms. Stanley, you are free to expose it in high society, for all to seeâ
Tina was a bit taken aback but accepted the paper, a satisfied smirk playing at the corner of her lips.
However, Tina wasnât ready to let go just yet. âIrene belongs to the Stanley family. No matter what you say, she must return to the Stanley family!â
Tina, the custody of Irene should be decided by Edwin and Sharon. What if youâre acting on your own and it angers Edwin? Do you want him to send you abroad?â Ray couldnât stand by and let this happen, so he interjected.
I donât want that at all!â Tina, accustomed to a comfortable life, had no desire to suffer abroad and shook her head immediately.
She stopped her insistence and left with the note in hand.
Sharon then turned to Ray. Thank you. Mr. Gildon
Ray looked at her deeply and smiled. âActually, with your abilities, you could have driven her away yourself. I was just being redundantâ
âNo, you were a great help,â Sharon said sincerely.
âIn that case, why donât you treat me to a meal?â Ray suggested.
Sharon was taken aback for a moment, then she looked over and nodded. âAlright.â
She did not expect Ray Gillon to make such a request.
The two of them walked toward a restaurant together.
Theard youâre leaving?â Bay asked after a while, his tone light.
He had actually come specifically to find her because he had heard from Ethan that she was planning to leave.
Sharon was slightly startled for a moment, but considering Rayâs relationship with Ethan, it wasnât surprising. She nodded.
âAnd you donât plan to come back?â Ray continued to inquire.
âI wonât be coming back. Iâm going to live in a different city
âA different city?â Ray y echoed her words, a sense of loss in his voice.
He knew that if she were to move to another city, she wouldnât tell him.
Will we never see each other again?â he thought to himself.
Unconsciously, the two of them entered the restaurant
Perhaps because of what had happened, Ray was extremely quiet and didnât say müdı.
Sharon wasnât one for talking much anyway, and they ordered their dishes silently
Just as they finished placing their order, two figures, a man and a woman, approached from across the mom
The man was tall and straight, with a cold and handsome appearance, his features refined.
The woman was bright and beautiful, with a graceful figure.
It was Edwin and Tilda
Sharon couldnât help but sigh inwardly, surprised to run into the two of them here of all places.
She averted her gaze, pretending not to have seen them.
Hay, who had been keeping his head down, truly hadnât noticed them.

Edwinâs gaze, however, was like a flashlight beam, focused on the two of them
He scrutinized them back and forth as if trying to discem something.
At the same time, he began walking toward them.
âEdwin Tilda urgently hooked her arm through his âMr. Anderson is still waiting for us
Edwin then halted his approach
Tilda quickly guided him in another direction.
It wasnât until they were far from Sharon that Tilda let out a sigh of relief
She couldnât help but look over at Edwin, seeing the deep hue of his eyes and the heavy emotions pressing at the base of his brows, causing her heart to pound erratically.
Edwin was actually aware that Sharon had seen him and had noticed her avoidance.
The way she had hastily dodged him was as if he were a raging flood, a monster.
Was he really that terrifying?
The more Edwin thought about it, the more uncomfortable he became, suddenly recalling that she had mentioned leaving
Previously, he believed she was leaving for Ireneâs sake, but now he suddenly felt that her purpose for leaving was to ensure she would never cross paths with him again.
Edwinâs mood was extremely oppressive
His fingers, hidden beneath his sleeve, clenched up as well.
Tilda saw his subtle expressions and her fingers also clenched in response.
However, she quickly put on a smile and leaned her head against Edwin. âRay and Ms. Cress seemed quite close just now, didnât they? âTheir relationship seems special.â
Her words were like a march falling into gasoline, igniting and expanding the discomfort within Edwin
Edwinâs steps came to an abrupt halt.
