Dumping My Billionaire Ex

Chapter 138

The loud sound was like a thunderclap in the quiet room. Everyone instinctively turned their heads to look. Standing at the door was the trembling secretary. "My apology. Mr. Stanley. Mrs Mrs. Stanley insists on seeing you. I couldn't stop her"

In front of the secretary stood Jasmine. She had tidied up her hair and clothes, looking neat and dignified, but her expression was far from pleasant. Everyone noticed the change in her expression and their eyes filled with curiosity and gossip.

Edwin, seated at the head of the table, furrowed his brow and showed his displeasure even before speaking. The secretary, scared to tears, was on the verge of crying "S-sorry" She repeated the only words she could think of

"It's not her fault. I came to find you myself," Jasmine said proactively. She met Edwin's gaze, her heart skipping a beat when she saw the coldness in his eyes. She knew Edwin was a workaholic and hated being disturbed during work.

"Everyone, leave," Edwin finally spoke up, waving his hand.

The executives quickly stood up, packed their things at lightning speed, and vanished from the meeting room. The secretary thoughtfully closed the door for them.

Seeing that Edwin had at least given her some face, Jasmine's anxiety eased a bit, but the grievances she had just endured surged back. She walked up to Edwin. "Edwin, didn't I ask you to talk to Sharon about Irene's custody? Did you do it?"

Jasmine had approached Edwin last night to secure his stance. Knowing he agreed gave her the confidence to face Sharon herself. In fact, she didn't want Edwin to meet Sharon, fearing Sharon might use some tricks if they met, so she planned to handle the custody issue herself. But before she could say anything, Ethan scared her away, leaving her empty-handed. The more she thought about it on the way, the angrier she got, and she rushed over here without even going home.

Edwin responded with a grunt, his brow furrowed in displeasure. He didn't say much, just rubbed between his eyebrows to relieve stress. Seeing his response, Jasmine's expression softened a bit, "What about Irene? Did you bring her back?"

"Irene is still with Sharon, I'm providing child support," Edwin replied.

"What?" Jasmine's voice rose in disbelief. "Edwin, what are you thinking?" This was not what she wanted at all. "Paying child support without fighting for custody, how will people know the Stanley family did anything? They'll say we're irresponsible," she quickly analyzed.

Edwin didn't answer immediately, but his frown deepened, clearly displeased with Jasmine's words. Over the years, Jasmine had enjoyed a glamorous life, but she couldn't hold her head high in front of her own son. She had also learned how to read Edwin's expressions in the past few years. Seeing that he was unhappy, she softened her voice. "You should know why I'm fighting for custody of Irene. Since you've promised, you should full

Edwin didn't want to respond, but Jasmine's words hit a sore spot. He couldn't help but let out a cold laugh. "Is face really that important to you?" He said no more, leaving Jasmine flushed with embarrassment. She knew he was accusing her.

Back then, Jasmine had abandoned Edwin, blind and all, to support her foster son for the sake of her own pride. Now she wanted Irene back, also for the same reason.

"I-it's not just about my face. Irene is a Stanley after all, she should be with us, Jasmine stammered, her words sounding increasingly hollow. She didn't need Edwin to mock her further; she felt utterly ashamed. She claimed to want Irene back because she was a Stanley, but it sounded sarcastic as Jasmine had abandoned her own son without a second thought back then.

Jasmine, her pride shattered, wanted to leave but couldn't bring herself to do it She stood there, unwilling and humiliated. Fortunately, Edwin didn't dwell on the past. “Irene is with Sharon because Sharon risked her life for Irene. I won't fight her for it," he said. He allowed himself to be cold and ruthless, but he didn't want to be a complete jerk

Hearing this, Jasmine scoffed. "You believe Sharont The Stanley family isn't useless. We wouldn't stand by if there were real danger during her delivery. She made that up to manipulate you because she knows you value loyalty. She's using you. Edwin Have you forgotten how she tricked you into bed and became a Mrs. Stanley? She's cunning. Don't fall for her tricks"

If it were the past, Edwin wouldve agreed without hesitation. But now, he wasn't so sure. He still didn't fully understand Sharon, but he believed she wasn't just all talk; she had some real skills. Seeing Edwin's silence, Janine's heart sank. She wanted to threaten him with her life but knew he wasn't someone to be easily swayed, and she didn't have the guts to hurt herself with a knife. She loved her looks, and couldn't bear the thought of scarring herself. Having no idea, she gritted her teeth in frustration, and finally said, "Think it over carefully" She turned and left.

After leaving, Jasmine didn't go home. She sat in her car, still brooding over bringing Irene back to the Stanley family. She couldn't afford to lose face because of Irene and had in fund a way to make Edwin agree to bring Irene back.

Chapter 135

After Jasmine left. Edwin couldn't concentrate on anything. He sat in his chair, lost in thought. Then his plane buzzed.

Looking down, Edwin saw a bank notification, informing him that Sharon had declined his transfer, and the money had been returned to his account. He tightened his grip on his phone, wandering. Sharon, refused?

Soon, Edwin found another message from Sharon. He rarely checked his messages, so he had missed it. The message was simple [Mr. Stanley, rest assured. I will raise Irene with Sharon Cress's money. She was implying she wouldn't rely on Hisney Entertainment's boss to raise Irene.

Edwin pressed his fingers tighter, feeling there was more to Sharon's reply. She could've just said she won't use Bisney Entertainment boss's money, so why say it like this! he thought. For the first time, Edwin felt the urge to delve into Sharon's true identity, wondering. Her varied skills, her hidden talents. A dance prodigy one moment, a racing champion Topspeed the next, and her unusual connections with a Criesta big shot. Who exactly is this woman? Could she really control Bisney Entertainment so effortlessly just because the boss is infatuated with her!!

As a businessman. Edwin knew it was unlikely someone like Bisney Entertainment's boss would hand over his business to a woman just for fun. He was curious about the real reason behind it. Unable to figure it out after thinking for a while, he walked out, feeling frustrated.

As Edwin turned the corner, he saw Ray leaning against the wall, talking on the phone with a slight smile. "If I'm not mistaken, the so-called Bisney Entertainment's boss is you, right?"
