Chapter 140
Edric was completely confused. He could only shout at the bodyguards with him, âHurry up and follow her to protect her!â
Outside, Tilda stumbled and ran wildly. In the end, she collapsed against the pillar.
Her fingers gripped the white embossed stone pillar tightly. Her teeth bit her lower lip so hard that it left a mark.
âDamn it, damn it!â Tilda cursed in a low voice. She just wanted to find Sharon and tear her apart.
She cursed Sharon for bringing her trouble from the moment Sharon appeared. Sharon was simply her nemesis.
Then Tilda became afraid. When she thought about how Sharon was the real Big Eyes, her body could not help but tremble.
The fear crept into her and burned her like a fire.
No, her happiness could not be ruined by Sharon again.
Tilda forced herself to stand up and walked a few rounds in the corridor. In the end, her eyes flashed and she quickly left.
In Stanley Manor, Jasmine was still sulking because Edwin was so disappointing and uncooperative.
âMadam, your daily drink is ready.â The servant walked over with a cup of turmeric latte and handed it to her.
Jasmine pushed it away irritably and said, âIâm not drinking this today. Take it away.â
The servant looked at her in confusion.
Usually, Jasmine paid the most attention to health. She would drink a turmeric latte every day. Today she was being weird.
However, the servant knew she shouldnât ask about her employerâs personal matters. So the servant did not say anything and silently left with the drink.
Jasmine placed her hand on her forehead and rested her elbow against the coffee table.
Because of Edwinâs lack of cooperation, she was so angry that she had a headache.
âIf I had known he was so disobedient, I wouldnât have

mumbled.
Despite saying that, she knew very well that Edwin taking over the family business was the safest for her.
Jasmine hated the accident back then had harmed his eyes.
After she left Edwin in Pinevale for a while, Edwinâs attitude towards her completely changed.
In the past, he listened to Jasmine and was so kind to her, but after that, he ignored her.
Thinking of the car accident, Jasmine felt guilty again. She did not dare to think about it anymore.
Just then, a cup was passed to her. Jasmine took a closer look. It was still the

Jasmine could not help but frown. âWhat are you doing? Didnât I say that Iâm

that was much younger than the servantâs.
Seeing this face, she was angrier. She shouted outside, âWhat the heck? Myra, you want to lose your job? Why are you letting a stranger in?â
Myra stood at the door with her hands hanging by her sides, looking embarrassed.
Donât blame Myra. I told her that Edwin called me over, so she opened the door,â the woman holding the cup said with a smile.
She had a beautiful face and was wellâdressed. She smelled of some fancy perfume. This woman was Tilda.
Jasmine finally looked her in the eye. âTilda, I wonât approve of your relationship with Edwin. Youâd better give up. Myra, see our guest off

Chapter 140
Hearing Jasmineâs order, Myra quickly walked over. âMs. Gillâ¦â
Tilda smiled and gave Myra a âdonât worryâ look before turning to look at Jasmine. âMrs. Stanley, Iâm here today for nothing but your worries?
âHumph, Iâm doing very well. I donât need your help Jasmine did not even look at Tilda Jasmine deliberately sat up straight and looked relaxed. Jasmine had always looked down on actors. Coupled with what had happened four years ago, she hated Tilda from the bottom of her heart.
Tilda was not in a hurry. She was still smiling. âMrs. Stanley, youâre not doing well now. Youâre being criticized every day. You probably wonât even have the courage to see anyone?
âYouâ Jasmine huffed.
After being exposed by Tilda, Jasmine looked embarrassed and angry.
However, Jasmine was used to pretending to be elegant in front of others. She suppressed her anger and only pursed her lips in silence,
At this moment, anger simmered inside her.
Tilda took her time and said to Myra, âMyra, you can leave us. Mrs. Stanley and I have something to talk aboutâ
Myra looked at Jasmine worriedly, Seeing that she did not say anything, Myra nodded and walked away.
The room was completely silent. Tilda sat down beside Jasmine, Tilda kept her knees together naturally and her hands pressed on her knees. She looked elegant and dignified, her face shining,
âMrs. Stanley, donât feel embarrassed. Those people outside donât understand the Stanley family. Thatâs why theyâre saying mean things about you. I know best that you and Edwin arenât coldâblooded and heartless people. You have feelings for Irene, I know it made you sad to say goodbye to her. You let Sharon take the child away because she suffered and gave birth to the child.â
Tildaâs words made Jasmineâs expression soften.
Even though Jasmine did not think so, Tildaâs words perfectly conceal her guilty conscience. Tilda even found a perfect excuse for her ignorance of Irene and protected her pride,
âYeah,â Jasmine replied stiffly.
Her response told Tilda that Tilda had a chance. She smiled faintly and said, âMrs. Stanley, I also know you really want to bring Irene back to the Stanley family. Itâs just that you canât convince Edwin to help. Am I right about it?â
Jasmine looked at her. Her gaze was cold, but she did not have any other reaction, a sign of acquiescence.
âI can help you,â Tilda offered.
Jasmineâs eyes widened and lit up. âYou?â
âYes, meâ Tilda nodded elegantly, full of confidence.
Jasmine was skeptical. âTilda, donât play any tricks with me.â
âMrs. Stanley, if you donât believe me, how about we make a deal?â Tilda gently tapped her fingers on the table. âIf I keep my word and Edwin is willing to ask Sharon for custody of Irene, youâll let me get engaged to Edwinâ
âHeb, at the end of the day, youâre here to get me to agree to your engagementâ Jasmineâs face turned cold again. She looked at Tilda with disdain. *Tilda, youâre really thickâskinned! Your background aside, just that scandal four years ago is enough for the Stanley family to reject you. If you had shame, you would have long left Edwin. I donât know where you got your confidence from. Itâs fine if your continue pestering Edwin. How dare you ask me to agree to your engagementâ
When Jasmine thought of what Tilda had done in the past, Jasmine only hated her even more.
Tilda did not feel embarrassed or sad because of Jasmineâs words. Tilda was still smiling brightly as if Jasmine was not talking about someone else.
She pursed her lips and bent slightly to look at Jasmine meaningfully. âMrs. Stanley, youâre reprimanding me right now. Have you forgotten? You were the one behind the incident four years ago
Just as Tilda finished speaking, Jasmineâs face turned pale and her body even wobbled slightly.
