Dumping My Billionaire Ex

Chapter 36

Sharon raised her hand instinctively and swiftly delivered a backhand slap to the man's face.

Tilda, It's me!" The man cried out. He turned on the flashlight on his phone.

Sharon managed to make out a shape of a man with a crew cut. He wore a rough expression with a hint of arrogance.

The man was also able to see her face clearly in an instant, and his concerned gaze turned cokl. He pushed her away in disdain. "What are you doing here! person in front of her. "Edric Greenwood?"

Only then did Sharon recognize the person in

He took the same paper towel and wiped his hands clean in front of her.

He didn't say it explicitly, but it was enough to let Sharan know that he was not happy to see her.

She knew better than to stick around and put up with his behavior, so she started to make her

Edric, however, interjected. "Are you really that desperate?"

BUL.

He flung the paper towel to the ground and stomped on it Twisting the napkin under his foot, he continued, 'Do you really think by pretending to talk and dress like Tilda, Edwin would be more interested in you?"

He kicked the twisted napkin away, gazing sidelong at her. He rade no attempt to disguise the contempt in his eyes.

Sharon looked down at the Chanel dress she was wearing. It was not particularly luxurious or extravagant. Considering her finances, it wasn't a stretch to own a few of these

As for her voice, she recalled that Alanna had said something similar before.

Edric didn't let up on his vitriol. "Even an expensive dress can't make you look good. You should stop making a fool of yourself"

He stuffed his hands into his pockets and started to walk off.

Sharon stopped him. "Edric."

She walked up to him in a calm and collected manner and with a look of quiet amusement,

"Where do

you work?

Edric wasn't sure he understood, so he looked at her in disbelief. How can anyone care about such trivial details after being mocked like that?

"You must have too much free time on your hands to stick your nose in other people's business so much" Her comment threw him off guard, and he turned red in embarrassment. His air of arrogance disappeared

Edric was able to get away with his savage criticisms in the past because of his friendship with Edwin. Sharon had held back at that time on her husband's account.

Now that she and Edwin were divorced, there was no reason for her to tolerate his friend's condescending attitude.

Sharon pursed her lips before letting a smile spread across her face. It was plain to see that she didn't think much of him.

"How dare you" He clenched his finis

Sharon didn't give him a chance to continue, promptly interrupting. "Do you think everyone who wears Chanel is trying to pretend to be Ms. Gilp

Edric's eyes wideurd. He was stumped. In his mind, Sharon was a meek and mild person, ignorant of the ways of the world. Even when he spoke harshly to her in front of Edwin, she never uttered a word in defence. Is this really the same person!

Edno had been born with a silver spoon in his mouth and was pampered ever since. He thought highly of himself and wasn't used to being ridiculed. His face became tense and tight, and anger raged behind his eyes.

Sharon wasn't about to stop though. She added, "Til also suggest that you get your cars checked out. You've heard my voice many times before but pull can't recognize it. Oli, while you're at it, get a brain scan too. As a respected miember of the Greenwood family, you have to maintain a certain level of intelligence. It wouldn't be good to become the butt of jokes in the communit

Then as if she had grown boord of him, the toward fier hair and walked out to big

Edric couldn't respond fast enough and stared after her as she left. Finally, when he regained his bearings, he slammed his fist down on the railing

Sharon returned home after finishing her errands. She scooped Irene up in her arms and closed her eyes contentedly.

They planned to head to her dad's home the next day so they'd have to get up early

Her sleep quality had actually been pretty poor.

When she lived with the Stanleys, Jasmine had ordered her to welcome Edwin when he came home. He always came back late, so she always wall up.

had

This was originally the servants duty, but at that time, she cared about Edwin and saw it as a chance to catch up with him at the end of his busy da so she had gladly agreed.

Edwin didn't think of it the same way as her, and would frequently lose his remper if the door wasn't opened immediately when he arrived. He didn't hesitate to kick the door repeatedly to announce his displeasure either

Sharon was afraid to sleep deeply for fear that Irene would be startled by the loud banging. She would rush to the door at every possible sound or movement that might indicate Edwin was arriving Despite being greeted with nothing but his cold, indifferent face time and time again, she had no complaints.

On nights when he stayed out until the morning without notice, she had stayed up all night too, just in

She shook her head at the memory. What a silly person I used to be

CISC

She fell asleep as soon as her head hit the pillow.

Meanwhile, at Nexus, Edwin was drowning his troubles in alcohol. Sharon's words rang in his head,

When they got married, he never thought of her as his wife. To him, nothing had changed, and he had zero consideration for her welfare or even her existence.

Even during the ceremony, he was just going through the motions. When he got a call from Tilda, his instincts took over and he simply forgot about Sharon. The thought that Sharon might be pregnant or might not be able to return home never crossed his mind.

When she disappeared for a few days after that, he was also unconcerned. In fact, he actually thought it was better that way,

Sharon did return though. She was noticeably thinner and seemed unsteady when she walked, but he chalked it up to a pitiful act. He also turned a blind eye when Tina tried to pick a fight with her. Could it be that she had actually had a miscarriage then?

Edwin was rational to the point of being cold, but he was not so heartless as to intentionally cause her to miscarriage and leave her in the lurch.

His heart sank at the thought of such a possibility.

"Mr. Stanley" May greeted him as she walked in in civilian clothes.

She quietly surveyed Edwin and was surprised to see signs of tiredness on his face.

She chose not to ask after him, and instead conveyed in a low voice, "Regarding your request, I found out that there were one hundred and fifty cight divorces on the day your divorce was processed. I checked out their personal information including their jobs, but none of them fit the profile of the head of Risney Entertainment"

May concluded, "I apologize for being unable to find the divorce record."

Edwin's grip on his wine glass tightened. He looked over at her with creased eyebrows, but in a flash, he regained his composure.

When he spoke again, his to

tone was flat and his expression was neutral. "This matter ends here, there is no need to investigate further

"Understood." May's tone lightened. "It just so huppens that Tilda wishes the same thing. She had asked me to request on her behalf that you drop the matter. The two of you truly share a special bond"

Edwin suffened.

He did intend to stop pursuing the issue, but it was not just for "Tilila's sake. The underlying reason was for Sharon herself,

Sharon was right, after all. No matter how terrible her plan made him look, there was no denying that the Stanley family came out on top.

He was willing to leave Sharon to her own devices. From now on, they would lead separate lives.
