Chapter 226
âLetâs talk outside. Edwin suddenly interrupted Tilda.)
He turned around and placed Irene on the ground. He patted her head and said. âDaddy is going out to talk about something. Iâll come back and accompany you later.â
Irene looked at him. She was worried, but she still nodded.
*Iâll be back soon,â Edwin said as he looked at Sharon
Sharon was stunned.
She thought, âIs he reporting to me? Is there a need for that? Perhaps this is just the etiquette of a guest to the host?â
Hearing Edwinâs words, Tilda took the initiative to retreat in the wheelchair. Edwin then walked out. Sharon considerately closed the door to prevent their conversation from leaking in.
When she turned around, she saw that Irene was still standing there. The smile on her face was long gone. At this moment, her lips were pursed tightly,
âWill Daddy leave with her?â she asked.
She wanted Edwin to stay. As a child, she wanted to live with her father.
Sharon walked over and squatted down to hug her. âDaddy has his life and work. He canât be by your side all the time. But he has already tried his best to take time to visit you, so Irene has to understand Daddy, understand?â
Although she had divorced Edwin, she had no intention of becoming enemies with him, especially in front of her child. She tried her best to be fair to him.
âI know. Although Irene was still unhappy, she was no longer as conflicted as before.
âLetâs go play the building blocks, Sharon said as she held her hand.
Outside the apartment, Edwin stopped in the corridor, facing the door of Sharon.
When he saw Sharon close the door, he could not help but frown. Tilda sat in her wheelchair and stopped opposite him, taking in every tiny expression.
Her eyes were slightly red. âEdwin. Iâm being bullied to death now. The companyâs agent didnât care about me and even tacitly allowed a newcomer to snatch my job and steal several roles from me. And those investors actually humiliated me. Help me.â
Edwin retracted his gaze from the door. When his gaze landed on Tilda, his eyes were so calm that no emotions could be seen. âYou called me out just for this?â
âI really have no other way out. Thatâs why⦠Tilda bit her lip as tears rolled down her cheeks. She clasped her hands together and looked pitiful.
She did not want to come to Edwin to complain. If possible, she wanted to make some achievements to showcase her excellence in front of Edwin. However, without Edwinâs help, she could not do anything.
No matter how much Tilda thought about it, she could only look for him. âFor my sisterâs sake, please help me.â
Edwin did not answer immediately. The expression on his face became terrible, and he seemed indifferent. The surrounding air pressure also decreased, and the air instantly became thin. Tilda was so suffocated that she could barely breathe.
âSince it has nothing to do with your sister, you can go back,â he said and walked away.

He really did not show any mercy.
âEdwin!â Seeing how heartless Edwin was, Tildaâs tears finally rolled down uncontrollably. âYou canât leave me alone. You said before that you canât give me love, but you will definitely repay my sisterâs kindness.â
Tilda felt that it was too embarrassing to use her sister to seek help, but she couldnât care less.
As long as she could get on her feet again and take revenge on her enemies, she could do anything.
âThe money I gave you is enough for you to live leisurely for the rest of your life. His voice was cold.
The meaning was obvious. He only wanted to make sure that Tilda was alive.
Tilda fell silent.
She thought, âWhat is the use of just living? Without any real power or status, I can not avenge the humiliation I have suffered!â
Edwin was not in the mood to care about her thoughts. After saying that, he walked to the door. He reached out to push the door open and wanted to check on Irene and Sharon.
Just as the door was about to open, Tildaâs voice came from behind again. âMy sister is back!â
Edwinâs hand that was holding the door handle froze. His lightningâlike gaze pierced Tildaâs body. It was dramatic and fierce. Tilda shivered.
Edwin said, âSay it again!â
As soon as he finished speaking, he was already in front of her wheelchair, his hands gripping the armrests tightly. He pulled her and her wheelchair under his nose.
His glare was even sharper than before. Tilda stuttered for a long time before saying. âMy sister is back. Sheâs really back
She shrank back. She was frightened by his appearance just now. Edwin fell silent again. He just stared at her quietly. It was as if he wanted to see through her with his gaze.
After a while, he stood up and entered the apartment without saying a word.
Tilda didnât know what to do.
She thought, âDid he leave? He didnât even care about my sisterâs return?â
âDad.â When she heard the door open, Irene jumped up excitedly. She even forgot about the building blocks and ran over to throw herself into his arms.
Edwin squatted down to catch her small body and helped her up. âDaddy has something important to deal with. I will come and see Irene next time.â
Irene did not say a word. Her little mouth silently pouted. She wanted to wheedle and ask Edwin to stay, but she remembered that Sharon had said that he was very busy.
Edwin lowered his head and touched Ireneâs forehead. He stood up and looked at Sharon. âThank you for the dinner tonight.â
With that, he walked out.
An hour later, Edwinâs limited edition Cayenne was parked at the entrance of a courtyard.
The door of the courtyard was located in an alley. It was surrounded by high walls, making it seem remote and quiet.
Sam Gill was already waiting at the door. When he saw the car arrive, he quickly went up to welcome it.

The door opened and Edwin walked out of the car.
âMr. Stanley, youâre here,â Sam greeted and bowed obsequiously.
He was not tall to begin with, so when he bent down, he looked even shorter and more servile.
âDad, Tilda opened the car door and called out to him.
Sam quickly ran over and moved her wheelchair out of the car.
âWhere is my sister?â Tilda asked.
Sam pointed inside. âInside!â
As soon as he finished speaking. Edwin rushed in like a gust of wind. There was only one house in the yard, and it only had one floor. Edwinâs eyes quickly scanned every corner. After seeing no one, he strode towards the aisle leading to the room. There were only three rooms in the house. Two of them were open and empty.
Edwin glanced at them briefly before his gaze landed on the closed door. He reached out and grabbed the doorknob.
âMr. Stanley!â Sam ran over in a panic and grabbed Edwinâs hand. âYou canât open this door!â
âWhy not?â Edwin shook off Samâs hand impatiently. âIsnât Big Eyes back? Where is she?â
Sam kept rubbing his head and secretly looked at Tilda..
Tilda slid over in her wheelchair. âEdwin, donât be anxious. Listen to me. A lot has happened to my sister over the years. Sheâs especially timid and is easily frightened. If you go in like this now, youâll scare her.â
âWhy didnât you tell me on the way here?â Edwinâs eyes were burning.
âThatâs because I forgot about it,â Tilda hurriedly replied.
His gaze was too sharp and Tilda did not dare to meet his gaze.
âEdwin. Actually, My sister has been back for many days. Itâs because sheâs not in good spirits that I havenât dared to tell you. Sheâs screaming at everyone she sees now. She canât quit it. Moreover, sheâs seriously malnourished. If sheâs triggered, sheâll faint. Can you bear to see her faint from the shock of seeing you??
Edwinâs gaze slowly focused on the door.
Tilda was a person who often lied. Her words were no longer credible. He raised his hand, wanting to force open door.
the
Tilda hurriedly slid the wheelchair over, leaned over, and hugged his legs with both hands. âEdwin, I beg you, donât scare my sister anymore. Sheâs already miserable enough!â She cried as tears streaming down her face. Edwin looked down at her..
