Chapter 34
Edric, clearly impatient, pulled our his phone. “You think I want to come to a place like this?” He looked around with obvious disdain as if it was some diny hole. Just listen for yourself.
Sharon caught the implication in his words and stepped over to listen. What Edric played was a voice message. Urgent and familiar, Tilda’s voier said. “Edric, do you know where Edwin has gone? I’ve been looking for him and can’t find him anywhere. I’m a bit worried. Can you help me look
for him!”
“So, Edric showed up at my door in the middle of the night to help Tilda lind Edwin? Sharon thought with a light chuckle. It made sense. Edric always looked down on me. Back in the Stanley family’s place, he’d avoid me whenever he saw me. He’s always been a man about his comfort, I never imagined he’d stoop to knock on my door for Tilda. By the way. Tilda is really lucky. Before, Edwin was utterly devoted to her and would forgive her anything. And now, Edric is running around at her beck and call”
Just as Sharon was about to inform Edric that Edwin wasn’t with her, Tilda’s second voice message played. “Edric, never mind, I found out where Edwin is. He’s at the Serene Hotel and so is Rocky.”
Just then. Alanna’s phone rang. She answered, and her face instantly darkened. “Damn it, Edwin.”
Sharon and Alanna rushed to the Serene Hotel. The door to room 1032 was slightly ajar. Inside, Rocky sat on the bed, shim unbuttoned, revealing his chest. His usually cheerful tace was clouded with anger.
Opposite him at a cold, tall man stretching out his legs casually, fiddling with a lighter. It was Edwin. He wore no expression and remained silent
the whole time.
Sharon gasped as she entered, taken aback by the scene
Alanna came running in afterward, frustratedly running her hands through her hair.
“Damn it.” At the sight of them, Rocky growled, staring at Edwin, “Edwin, why do you have to frame me like this?.
Edwin stopped playing with his lighter and leaned forward slightly, his icy gaze never landing on Rocky, “Did I tell you to sleep with her?” His eyes shifted toward the woman next to Rocky,
The woman was in disarray, barely covering herself with a blanket. It was clear what had happened before.
Frantic. Alanna scolded, “Rocky, how could you let this happen?”
—-
Rocky’s handsome face was etched with injustice. “I didn’t bring this woman here. Nothing happened between us.”
“… I’m his fan, and I have been into him for a long time, the woman whispered.
Sharon knew Rocky well. Though he was a playboy, he had his principles and would never get involved with a fan. But Edwin’s presence complicated matters. Not one to make aimless moves, Edwin was clearly up to something that could ruin Kocky-
Sharon approached Edwin, “What are you really after herer”
Without a word, Edwin checked his watch, cold as ever. Then he stood up and left.
Sharon took a deep breath and followed. “The one you’re angry with is me, so direct it at me, Rocky’s innocent. Please leave him out of this she wid softly and blocked his path.
She had underestimated Edwin’s ruthlessness. She thought, at most, he’d shut down Bisney Entertainment. She never expected him to target her friends
“I’m after your lover, not you,” Edwin finally said through clenched teeth, visibly upset. A man’s affairs should be settled by men. He might not love Sharon, but he wouldn’t allow her to carry another man’s child under his name. “Get him out here,” he added.
“The boss of Hisney Entertainment is me,” Sharon said truthfully.
Edwin chuckled coldly. “He didn’t take responsibility for his kid, and now i
that there’s trouble, he’s pushing you forward. Sharon, this is the man you
Sharon knew he wouldn’t believe her and decided not to dwell on it. “I didn’t decrive or use you. When we got intimate, it was my first time, and you saw that for yourself!
so, you cheated because I failed to satisfy you
y you during our marriage? Before she could finish, Edwin cut her off. He looked at her coldly. “You were the one eager to marry me. You should have put up with it even if I failed to satisfy you. What right do you have so complain, to flirt with another guy, and to have has a huld?” His words weer harshi and tourtul

Chapter 14
Despite feeling wronged, Sharon had never wanted to marry Edwin. Back when things happened between her and Edwin, she accidentally became the third party between him and Tilda, She felt deeply ashamed, so she planned to escape and never return to this city. The only reasons she stayed and married him were for him………
These memories overwhelmed Sharon with a sense of injustice, and she fought hard to hold back her tears from spilling.
She looked at Edwin with a hint of mockery in her smile. I certainly have no right to carry another man’s child, but what about yours? Do you even care about that? You haven’t forgotten, have you! The day after our wedding, your family’s doctor discovered I was pregnant. They even did a further check to make sure the child was a Stanley, But what did you do to that child? On the way to visit your father’s grave, because of a call from Tilda, you kicked me out of the car and left me alone on a snowy road. You never cared about us”
ch she wouldn’t have had the courage to confront if she wasn’t pushed to the extreme
She was forced into b today.
bringing up those painful memories, which
The snow was coming down so hard that day, piling up on the ground within moments. In that remote location during such weather, it was impossible for anyone to pass by. To make things worse, her phone and purse were left in the car. For a moment, she thought she’d freeze to death there. If it weren’t for Ray passing by, she might be dead
Recalling all this, Sharon closed her eyes tightly
Even after Ray saved her, Sharon was sent to the hospital for hypothermic shock. Her pregnancy was nearly lost, and her progesterone levels dropped to frightening lows. She fought tooth and nail to keep the child, enduring immense suffering. Due to this. Irene suffered from extremely low immunity, resulting in a blood infection immediately after she was born.
“You didn’t want your child, so I had to go have one for someone else.” Sharon composed herself, and her tone was cold. The pain Irene endured was because of Edwin. A little shame on him was more than deserved.
“Edwin, you hate me for trapping you into marriage, but you benefited from this marriage as well, didn’t you? To profit and then play the victim, what is that? Shameless and childish!” Sharon had been blunt with Edwin after their divorce, but her words were never as cutting as they were now. Edwin
was at a loss for words, stunned silent.
No longer wanting to stay with him for another second, Sharon walked back toward the room. As she turned, she glimpsed a figure disappearing down the hallway, her lips curling in disdain before she firmly shut the door.
Just as Sharon entered the room, a sharp scream reached her ears. Turning toward the sound, she saw a shadow moving by the window, and her face instantly paled.
