Chapter 21
Fred dared not explain. He si
simply tapped his phone and said. âCheck the news. With that, he quickly walked away. âNews?â Sharon hurriedly took out her phone and started scrolling. The news that day was mostly about Tildaâs computer being hacked, detailing several exposed fake contracts. Then, another headline popped up, quickly taking the main spot. When Sharon saw the words âBisney Entertainment, she read on and inhaled sharply
The news, also originating from Tildaâs hacked email, revealed that Bisney Entertainmentâs mysterious owner had been in a lowâprofile marriage for four years and was recently exposed for having an affair with a divorced woman. While there were no photos of Bisney Entertainmentâs boss, Sharonâs picture was distinctly clear.
âSo, Edwin took Irene away because he saw this news! Sharon pondered.
The boss of Bisney Entertainment was always a bit of a mystery, and now, with the sudden cheating scandal making the rounds, the buzz just shot up. It even overshadowed the news about Tiklaâs fake contracts.
When Sharon figured out what was going on, she was speechless. I have an affair with myself, huh? Is there anything more ridiculous in the world? she thought
Then, Tinaâs sharp voice cut through âWhoâs this standing at my doorstep?â Arriving in a revealing outfit, she approached with feigned surprise.
Ignoring Tina, Sharon put back her phone and walked away.
Tina, however, laughed. âSharon, your scandalâs flying high. Why such pretense? Do you think I donât know what youâre here for? Edwin brought that bastard back, and you want her back, right?â
âBastard Sharon echoed, turning sharply toward Tina. She couldnât believe that Ireneâs aunt would call her such.
âYes, bastard. Anyone that comes from you is a bastard. Tina retorted, cowering slightly under Sharonâs gaze but quickly recovered. âI know that youâve been trying to use the bastard to remarry Edwin. And last night, Edwin did propose remarrying you But this scandal of yours mustâve turned all your plans to dust, huh? Do you know why Edwin believes it so? Because I told him about the Bisney Entertainment boss setting up a fund for the bastard with 40 million dollars. Thatâs proof of your shady relationship.
Sharon finally understood. Edwin wouldnât have blindly trusted an emailâs contents. Tina had been meddling behind the scenes.
âOh, and also your embarrassing secrets. I was the one who had them sent to Tildaâs email. I just wanted Tilda to show them to Edwin, but a hacker made everything public. Quite satisfying.âTina added.
The scheme was Claraâs idea, but at the moment, Tina took all the credit in order to provoke Sharon further. Pity though, even with 40 million dollars, you donât even think about getting the bastard back, she gloated.
âOh, and since the Bisney Entertainment boss is married. Sharon, how do you think his wife would react What do you think sheâll do to you when she finds out her husband cheated?â Tina sneered.
She had no idea that Sharon was the boss of Nisney Entertainment. All she could think about was getting back at Sharon, and it made her ecstatic. Everything she did was all for that. Iâm so looking forward to it,â she added.
To Sharon, Tina was just a joke, not even worth the effort of revealing the truth. She simply replied, âWell then, keep looking forward to itâ With that, she walked away without any intent of staying longer.
Behind her, Tina paused. She dares to retort even now, huh? Could she have a way out? Thatâs impossible. The gossipâs all over town, and the Bisney Entertainment bossâs wife is thoroughly humiliated. How could she lei Sharon off the hook? Sharon must be bluffing. With that thought, a new wave of excitement washed over Tina, and she left humming a tune, pleased with herself,
Troubled by the email leak all day, Tilda finally decided to speak up that evening. She sat under the spotlight, her smile radiant and confident âRegarding the Trigued contracts for tax evasion, in fact, the company did consider them. However, we didnât go ahead with those and used all legir contracts instead. For this, you can verify it with our legal department. As for the lucking of my computer, Iâve reported it to the cops, I believe theyâll handle it properly.â
Right after Tildaâs statement, a reporter chimed in, âWhat about the affair scandal with the boss of Bisney Entertainment? How do you explain that,
This time, Tilda didnât respond. Instead, her manager stepped up, defending her, âAs everyone can see, that email was sent to Tibda by someone che. Sheâs got a lot on her plate and had no idea that such an email was even in her inbox. The hacking of her computer wasnât something she wanted, and she was a victim of the email leak.â
âThough it was against my wishes, the fact remains that it came from my inbox. I would still like to apologize to the involved parties. On television, Tilda bowed respectfully toward the camera,
Chapter 21
âs quite the actress, isnât she?â Alanna was infuriated. âSomeone sends her your scandal and then her email just happens to get hacked! Iâll never ââ believe that. She cleared herself while leaving you in the lurch. Sheâs quite cunningâ With her years in the industry, Alanna saw right through Tillaâs scheme
Meanwhile, Sharon stayed silent throughout, lost in thought.
âIf push comes to shove, we could just spill that youâre the boss of Bisney Entertainment,â Alanna added. Sheâd wanted to do that for a while.
âNo,â Sharon finally said, stopping her.
âWhat do you mean? Youâre not planning on giving up on bringing Irene hack, are you?â Alanna was confused.
âOf cou
course not.â Sharon wasnât concerned about embarrassing others but didnât want to hurt Edwin. His reasons for taking Irene away werenât wrong. Moreover, Sharon had truly loved him once. She couldnât bring herself to act vengefully postâbreakup. She wanted a softer resolution.
As they talked, the camera suddenly shifted, landing on a group approaching from the main entrance. The spotlight focused on the man leading them. It was Edwin.
Edwin had his time with Tilda. Although they broke up and moved on, Tildaâs return and proximity to him piqued everyoneâs curiosity.
Unable to contain themselves, reporters started questioning, âMr. Stanley, do you believe Ms. Gill is in nocent? Are you here to show your support and cheer her on
Edwin wasnât actually there for Tilda. It was just that the venue for her press conference was where he had his business meeting. He didnât answer right away but looked over at Tilda across the way.
sheâd been there for Edwin during his hardest
Tildaâs face was composed, but her eyes pleaded with him. Despite her foolish actions in the past, si times, pulling him from despair..
bitch!â
âYes,â he finally said, pressing his lips together. Tilds is someone I must protect. Nobody can hurt her.â
Alanna snorted sarcastically upon seeing Edwinâs stance. âWhatâs there to protect with such an angelic
Just then a tear fell unexpectedly from Sharonâs eyes, landing on the back of her hand. The promises Edwin shouldâve kept for her were now
were now given to Tilda
Even postâdivorce, the sweetness of their young love lingered in the depths of her heart. In the end. Edwin had torn it apart with chilling indifference. And it seemed even that wasnât enough
