Dumping My Billionaire Ex

Chapter 229

"Yes, I'm Violet, the girl said in a sweet, crisp yet mechanical voice.

Sharon was speechless. Ethan and Violet did not recognize each other after so long, mainly because she had always covered her face with her hair and only revealed a small part of it.

In addition, Violet didn't like to show her face when she lived at home back then. Ethan didn't see her even once every few days. After so many years, he had long forgotten about her. Ethan looked at her for a while before sighing and retracting his gaze. "No wonder you're living on the streets.

Ethan did not have a good impression of Violet's father, also his apprentice.

"Looks like Keith saw that she w

went crazy and abandoned her, Ethan remarked.

His apprentice was Keith Sutton. Back then, he came to Keith's door and said how pitiful he was. Ethan could not bear it and agreed to take him as his apprentice.

Keith pretended to be honest on the surface and respectful of him. He even said he would take care of Ethan when Ethan retired. However, he secretly stole his unique glue-making formula and planned to make a fortune by selling it.

This glue-making process was the most important part of Ethan's shoe-making process. This was also his way of making a living. If Keith sold it, Ethan wouldn't lose his business.

At that time, Ethan was relying on the skill of making shoes to support his family. How could he let Keith do that? After Keith gave away his intention, Ethan sent him and Violet away.

Keith even stole a large sum of money from him when he left.

When Ethan went to the police, he realized the name was fake.

This matter had happened many years ago. If not for running into Violet, Ethan would have forgotten about it for good.

Sharon also thought of this and could not help but sigh.

They took Violet into the house and sat her down on the old cloth sofa.

Sharon then slowly asked her, "Where's your father?"

Violet's eyes were dull. After a long time, she coughed and laughed. She said, "Sister is the most important. Daddy is not good. Daddy took me. Mommy took her and married a rich man. Sister and Mommy, with a rich man."

They asked a few more times. Violet just kept saying such nonsense. They were not getting anywhere. In the end, Ethan and Sharon quit.

Keith Sutton was a fake name, and Violet's mind was not clear, so Sharon and Ethan did not know where to send her.

Sharon decided to send her to the shelter for people like Violet as planned.

Pinevale did not have such a shelter, so Sharon took her back to Moorwald and placed her at the shelter there.

A staff member examined Violet and said, "She's blind in one eye and there are signs of abuse on her body. Do you know what she went through?" Sharon looked into Violet's eyes in surprise.

Previously, Sharon had always thought that Violet's eyes were dull because she was mentally abnormal, but it turned out she was blind in one eye.

"I don't know," Sharon said after a silence.

The staff member sighed and shook her head. "The people on the black market like this kind of healthy and mentally abnormal child the most. Anyway, her family doesn't want to look after her, so there's no risk in taking her away. Those criminals would feed her for a few years. If a patient needs an organ transplant, they can just cut hers for a deal. She's quite lucky. Only her cornea was cut off."

Losing the cornea was enough to make people tremble.

Sharon could not help but touch her eye which had most of its comea removed.

After that, Sharon's days became quiet. The only headache was that Edwin would come using the excuse of visiting Irene.

He didn't come often so Sharon could barely accept it.

Half a month later, Sharon went to Bisney Entertainment.

Although she did not take money from the company now, she still had to participate in the decision-making in important affairs.

Sharon arrived. Just as she was about to step onto the long and artistic staircase of the building of Bisney Entertainment, someone called her name beside her.

She could not help but turn around and see Brandon standing not far away in a suit and tie. He looked neat and formal, smiling at Sharon.

"Hi, Brandon." She could only greet him.

Brandon's smile was warm. "When I walked over just now, I saw your back but wasn't sure. I'm so surprised it's really

you.

Sharon smiled and heard him say, "The last time I talked to Ms. Jensen, we talked about you. You're not married yet and don't have a boyfriend. Sharon, can you give me a chance?" Previously, Brandon thought she had a boyfriend, so he gave up. Then Alanna told him Sharon was still single, he was tempted again.

Sharon felt a little embarrassed. She touched her forehead with a wry look.

Damn Alanna. I don't need a guy to help me kill time, Sharon cursed inwardly.

"I'm sorry, I have no plans to get married," she said to Brandon.

"I don't mean now. Maybe in the future! Perhaps you are afraid of marriage because of your previous marriage, but people are different. Your ex-husband and I are not the same kind of people," Brandon said anxiously, trying to

convince her.

Then he added, "Although the life I can give you now is not as good as what your ex-husband offered, it's enough for you and Irene to live comfortably. Sharon didn't know how to dissuade him. Brandon continued, "As you can see, I'm negotiating a collaboration with Bisney Entertainment, Ms. Jensen is very interested in our project. Sharon, you have to believe me."

Of course, Sharon believed him, or she wouldn't have approved the project But she didn't need a man. She enjoyed her life now, living with Irene and her father.

Sharon was tired of having a big family where she would have a lot of relationships to pay attention to. She liked it to be simple.

Before Sharon could speak, Brandon grabbed her hand. "Sharon, no matter what, give me a chance. I can give you and Irene happiness. I will use my entire life to prove it. If you feel insecure, I can even give all my assets to you."

Sharon was shocked to hear that. She didn't need his money because she had more money than she could count.

Sharon thought, 'But if I tell him this, will he be... Just as she was trying to find a way to dissuade Brandon, she heard a deep and cold cough behind her.

Sharon didn't know who it was and why this man had to come here instead of taking the proper road there. He coughed as if she and Brandon were standing in his way, Sharon had no choice but to move closer to Brandon and make way. However, the man did not take a step forward.

Is he standing here for a drama or what?' Sharon was puzzled. It was already awkward enough that Brandon held her hand and refused to let go. Now, they had an audience. Sharon couldn't help but look at the man. Her eyes met with a pair of cold eyes.

It was Edwin. She was shocked to see him. Her heart was beating wildly. She felt so unlucky today to be in such an embarrassing situation.

Edwin did not leave or move. He just stared at her, which surprised Brandon

Brandon asked. This is..."

Sharon forced a smile and said, "Mr. Stanley, good morning."

Edwin was expressionless, as serious as usual. He even had a sinister glint in his eyes as if he had seen his biggest

enemy.

With Edwin standing there, Brandon couldn't continue his love confession to Sharon, though he wanted to do it very much. Then Brandon let of her.

The moment he let go, Edwin silently brushed past Sharon.

"Edwin is so... What does he mean? Did he really come for a drama?' she wondered. Sharon was silent, rolling her eyes.

Brandon found Edwin somewhat familiar, but he could not recall. He could only ask Sharon, "What's your relationship with this man?"

Sharon did not want to publicize her relationship with Edwin to everyone. She also felt that there was no need to tell Brandon. She only said, "He's just a client."

"Oh," Brandon replied. "By the way, I haven't asked about your job."

"I'm a Z-list influencer, Sharon answered. She had marty jobs and randomly named one.

When Brandon heard that she was only a Z-list influencer, he grunted and his face darkened. "My family would find it hard to accept an internet celebrity as my wife. If possible, you can get a new job. I'll help you find any job you want. If you want to remain an internet celebrity, it's... it's fine."

Brandon had been carrying a torch for her all this time. Even if her profession would affect his family's opinion, he wouldn't change his heart.

Sharon looked at Brandon, shaking her head. "Why are we talking about this again? she complained inwardly. Sharon had already made her rejection clear several times. At this moment, her mouth was dry and she had no intention of explaining again. So she said, "I still have something to do. Let's talk about it another time."

When he heard she was leaving. Brandon quickly took out his business card and shoved it into her hand. "If you have time, you must call me. If you're short of money, get bullied, or run into any problems, you can call this number."

-As Brandon spoke, he retreated and repeatedly made a "call me" gesture.

Sharon held the business card in her hand. Deep down, she felt that Brandon was stubborn and a headache yet a very honest young man.

As she thought about it, she walked upstairs. When she reached the end and turned a corner, she saw Edwin. Edwin was leaning against the railing and smoking at the end of the corridor. From where he was standing, he had a
