Chapter 4
âWhatâs this? Accusing me of neglecting her? Everything she brought upon herself. What right does she have to complain here? Edwin thought. Despite Sharonâs surprised expression, he still believed it was all her acting. He turned and walked away. She doesnât want the way out I offered, yer insists on playing this game. Sheâll only stop when sheâs utterly embarrassed herself and slinks back home!â
âMrs. Stanley, the butler greeted, noticing Sharon trailing behind
Edwin slowed his pace, feeling it necessary to remind Sharon that her endless antics would only lead to trouble. He said coldly, âListen.â
âThank you.â Sharon didnât stop but went straight to a maid who handed her a small bundle. Then she turned to the butler and said, âFrom now on, call me Ms. Cress. Also, I donât need anything from the room. Dispose of it as you wish.â With that, she turned and walked away.
Edwin was stunned. Sharon talked to the butler and the maid, but she completely ignored him.
The butler and maid widened their eyes, looking at Sharon as if she were a stranger. In the past, whenever Edwin was around, Sharon acted as if on thin ice, cautious and eager to please. But today, she changed.
Once outside, Sharon addressed the young man still standing there, âLetâs go.â
The young man quickly opened the car door for her and replied, âAlright. Then they both gor in the car.
âAlannaâs gone mad, and what happened to you?â Sharon scolded with a stern face. With such a grand spectacle, she knew that it was al
all orchestrated by Alanna
Putting on a sheepish look, the young man rubbed his chin and said, âAlanna just wanted to surprise you
Alanna
Sharon was not surprised; it was totally a shock. However, she knew it wasnât his intention, so she didnât say much and just
ust called Alan
On the other end. Alanna sounded lively. âHow was it? Did Edwin get rattled? Donât worry. This is just the beginning. Iâll roll them out one by one. each more impactful than the last. Let him see clearly how popular you are.â
Hearing that, Sharon was speechless.
At Stanley Manor, Sharon left for a while, but Edwin remained rooted to the spor
âWhy did Mrs. Stanley leave with that mantâ a servant asked, puzzled. âMr. Stanley, is she ch⦠you know. She didnât dare utter the word âcheatingâ but everyone understood.
Edwin frowned and remained silent. Then he walked away.
Back at the residence, Sharon received a call from the Stanley familyâs servant âMrs. Stanley, you better come back soon. Mr. Stanley looks furious. You should apologize and explain to him properly. Donât let things get out of handâ
Listening calmly to the worried servant, Sharon replied, âThank you for your concern, but didnât Mr. Stanley tell you? Weâve already finalized our divorce.
âDivorce?â The servant was shocked, glancing at the brooding Edwin beside. Seeing the banners earlier, she thought it was just a joke. Now she realized it was real.
The servant quickly pieced together Sharonâs previous reactions and almost dropped the phone in shock. She thought, âMrs. Stanley dumped Mr. Stanley?
Edwin, impatient with the servantâs failure to provide a specific return time for Sharon, walked over and snatched the receiver. Just as he was to sprak, Sharonâs voice came through. âTell him not to worry. Alter the divorce, he can go his way, and Iâll go mine. Iâve sent him a bank cand. Consider it a gift for his future remarriage.â

Before he could react, the butler arrived with a delivery person. The delivery person handed over a bank card. Edwin was imitated as he recognized the card she was referring toâthe one he had given her on their anniversary day.
The delivery person, sensing his dark and ominous aura, hastily left without asking for a signature.
Meanwhile, at Alannaâs apartment, Alanna listened to Sharonâs words with amusement, âOh, Sharon, youâre something chet Giving him a remarriage gift like this, Edwin must be furious. Well done!â
She snapped her fingers, jumping up from the sofa. âLetâs arrange the second round immediately. The last time was just a warmâup. This time, well use our star player. Letâs drive Edwin crazy?â

âDonât go overboard Sharon pulled her back. âReturning his bank card was just to clear any debts between us. If you keep this up, heâll think Iâm still hung up on him. I just hope that one month flies by so I can completely sever ties after getting the divorce decree.â
Alanna relented at Sharonâs words. âAlright. Letâs lay off this scumbag for now. Oh, is sweetie coming back soon?â She suddenly remembered something.
The word âsweetie seemed like a magical incantation Sharonâs otherwise expressionless face softened, and she smiled warmly. She nodded, her cyes sparkling âYesâ
The next afternoon, around four oâclock, Sharon and Alanna appeared at the St. Judas Kindergarten.
Before long, a girl in a princess dress walked out, her shoulders hunched, with a shy beam shining from her big eyes.
