Dumping My Billionaire Ex

Sophie couldn't figure out why Sharon's looks mattered to Tilda's help. When Tilda asked, Sophie fumbled for words.

"Wait, I just remembered, Sharon has a kid too. She's probably like three or four, named Irene, Sophic added

"Trene!" Tilda's heart skipped a beat with relief. It was the Sharon she knew. It turned out that Sharon lived near her grandma, which was a surprise.

"Did she come back alone with her kid? No man with her? Tilda asked.

"Man! She got divorced and was broke. Who would want her?" Sophie scoffed. "If she had a man, why would she bother with our house?"

Tilda found it odd. Sharon's affair with Bisney Entertainment's boss made headlines after her divorce. Even Irene's paternity, confirmed by a DNA test, tied her to the boss. But Sharon returned home alone, without him!

To Tilda, even if a woman had just divorced and it wasn't the right time to bring her partner home, at least the guy would accompany her.

"Who got Chief Parker taken away?" Tilda inquired further

Sophie, thinking Tilda was offering help, tried to recall. "All I remember is, she called someone named Ala... Alan, and it sounded like this person's uncle was high up, maybe the Police Commissioner." So, it was Alanna who intervened.

"She didn't ask anyone else? Tilda pressed.

"Nope!" Sophie was firm. "She made just one call and talked to one person. I remember every word" Then she repeated Sharon's call

So, Bisney Entertainment's boss was uninvolved. Tilda remarked with a sly grin, This just got interesting."This belongs to NôvelDrama.Org: ©.

She couldn't help but wonder, 'Did Sharon split with Bisney Entertainment's bou? Or maybe they were never a thing to begin with. All that talk about the paternity test and the 40 million growth fund was just to get Irene back, Alanna, a veteran at Bisney, might help Sharon out. And now that the boss is single, Sharon might try to get help from him through Alanna. What's her real deal for fighting so hard to keep Irene after the divorce?"

Tilda had a bad feeling creeping over her. Her face slightly paled.

Sophie, impatiently waiting for Tilda's advice, got anxioun when Tikda sayed silent. She slapped her thigh, saying. "Tilda, Grandma needs your help. You're my only hope now."

"Got it." Tilda replied, still not committing herself, and hung up the phone.

Sitting in front of the vanity, Tilda pondered, her face all serious. After a while, she remembered her grandma's request for help. As a big shot, she wasn't about to get mixed up in Sophie's spat with Sharon. But she knew someone who'd be all over dealing with Sharon

Tilda dialed a number. "Tell Clara that Sharon has no connection with Bisney Entertainment's boss."

After the call ended, she glanced at her phone, eyebrows furrowing slightly at the message.

After a moment, she stood up and went into the dressing room. When she came out again, she looked stunning.

At Nexus, Edwin sat in silence, sipping his drink. His gaze was distant as if he was lost in thought. He seemed even more withdrawn lately.

Edric slouched, exuding arrogance with his messy hair. His gaze oozed superiority, a warning not to mess with him.

In a jacket over a tee, Edric tilted his head, eyes locked on Eilwin. "Hey, now that you're single, why not give Tilda a shot?"

Edwin turned to him, seemingly surprised by the question,

Edric downed his drink in one gulp and then set the glass down "That old drama, sure. Tilda messed up." kinda sad. And hey, ain't you been married too? I'd call it even now." Edwin didn't respond, still drinking silently.

Edwin's silence made Edric so uneasy, he yanked open his collar, totally mangling it

but she's been alone overseas all this time,

"What's up!" Ray strolled in, catching Edric's discontent, and asked, a faint smile on his lips. His easy vibe took the edge off the room

Edric snorted, lips tight, and said nothing, shooting a glance at Edwin

Edwin's eyes lit up at the sight of Ray, "Where have you been lately?" Chapter 48

"Where else?" Edric chimed in for Bay. "Probably off chasing some influencer."

Sensing Edric's sarcasm, Ray only replied with a faint smile. "I made a trip to Pinevale

"Pinevale!" Edwin was surprised at the mention of the name. His grip tightened on the glass as he sat up straight

Ray nodded. "Yeah, the Foxy Damon lives in Foxton, Pinevale. I went there to discuss a collaboration with her. By the way, she has agreed to act as our intermediary, so I'll send the information over" Usually, Edwin would perk up when Ray talked about work. But now, he seemed elsewhere. His brows furrowed, eyes dimmed, lost in thought. So deep in it, he didn't even spot someone at the door. However, Edric did. He recognized the woman the moment she appeared.

Edric straightened up, eyeing Edwin seriously. "Heard Mrs. Stanley's been nudging you toward marriage, even setting up blind dates Instead of awkward encounters like before, ending up like with Sharon, wouldn't it be better to be with someone you've had history with! Remember how crazy you were about Tilda? We all saw it, Edwin, you're a faithful guy. You stuck with Tilda for years and never treated Sharon like a wife. You've gor Tilda on your mind, admit it. So. let go of the internal drama and treat her right?

Across from them, Ray's finger paused, but that was it. He lowered his head to drink, appearing completely detached. He used to dislike Edric's attempts to match Edwin and Tilda, but his perspective changed after his trip to Foxton. Especially after learning that Sharon had given up on Edwin for good.

Ray remained silent no longer concerned about whether Edwin would accept Tilda.

As Edric brought up the matter again, Edwin rubbed his temples wearily, still saying nothing. But he set down his drink and got up Just a couple of steps away, he spotted the figure standing by the door.
