Dumping My Billionaire Ex novel Chapter 189

Chapter 189 

Why did you only just pick up the phone now? Jasmine’s voice sounded urgent

Tilda rolled her e eyes in disgust, thoroughly displeased with Jasmine’s antitude 

and impatient on the other end

Just as Tilda was about to reton, Jasmine’s voice came through again. Edwin just came back and vehemently opposes this engagement. I’ve done everything I could for you. Whether this engagement happens now depends on your abilities 

What do you mean?” Tilda snapped sharply upon hearing this Are you saying you announced the engagement without Edwin’s consent?” 

Tilda knew Jasmine wouldn’t have sought Edwin’s approval. Dors this mean Jasmine has failed to convince Edwin all these days! she wondered

There was no response from the other end, just the busy tone echoing in the receiver 

Jasmine hung up 

Fury surged through Tilda’s beautiful fare, and she gripped her phone so tightly it nearly slipped from her grasp

She refrained from throwing it only because there were too many people around 

If they found out this outcome, she’d be in serious trouble

Her fingers were severely contorted from the tension as she leaned against the wall, breathing heavily 

Her eyes brimmed with intense frustration

Tilila had come too far to give up now, absolutely, positively, no way! … 

She bit down hard on her lip, leaving deep imprints that almost drew blood

Tikda, is something wrong?Shirley asked from the doorway

Tilda turned urgently, meeting her probing gaze headon 

Shirley’s stare felt like a searching spotlight on Tilda 

Annoyed to the extreme, Tilda suppressed her irritation and forced herself to sprak calmly. Nothing’s wrong. I am just suddenly feeling nervous 

and tired.” 

Shirley’s expression softened at her words, nodding and checking her watch. There’s still some time before the ceremony. I take them outside

You should rest for a bit” 

OkayTilda held herself together, hiding any sign of weakness or unease from Shurley 

Only when everyone had left did Tilda collapse weakly onto the floor

Jasmine’s words echoed in her ears repeatedly, and she impatiently ran her hands through her hair, almost messing up her carefully styled hairdo. Tilda couldn’t care less about her appearance now. All she could think about was how to convince Edwin to agree to this engagement ceremony

Not long after, the door clicked open

Tilda jerked her head up to see Edwin walking in expressionlessly

His brows were cool and his already serious and reserved demeanor seemed even more distant 

His gaze silently pierced through her with a plain, unaffected look that stirred waves of unrest within Tilda 

She forced herself to stand up

Edwin,Tilda called out, moving to grab his hand 

Edwin stepped back. I just found our moments ago that I have an engagement today” 

Well, better late than never to decide. Tilda managed a smile, feigning innocence. But I just heard from Mrs. Stanley on the phone that you weren’t aware of the specific date. Sorry about that. If I’d known earlier, I would ve reminded you” 

Tikla skillfully shifted the blame onto Jasmine

Edwin didn’t expose anything. Knowing now isn’t too late. This engagement won’t proceed” 

Though Tilda knew his intentions early on, she still looked genuinely startled Edwin what are you implying Even if you did know the shouldn’t change anything. We’re still engaged, aren’t we?” 

She bit her lip in feigned distress. You wouldn’t go back on your word, would you? If so, you should’ve told me earlier. Now that it’s come to this how do you expect me to face everyone?” 

Tilda didn’t cling or plead persistently, just appeared unsure how to proceed, looking pitiful and wronged 

Edwin’s gaze softened imperceptibly as it fell on her. Upon seeing her like this, has eyes involuntarily softened

Tilda sensed his softened gaze, and her heart lifted briefly, leaning closer to rest her head against his arm

Edwin, I care about my 

my reputation to Invitations have already gone out, and so many people are watching us today. If we suddenly announce the engagement won’t happen, what will everyone think! Where will that leave my reputation?” 

It’s simple. We can publicly announce that it was you who decided not to go through with it. 171 be the one left behindEdwin replied coolly, his 

for devoid of warmth 

Tilda stared at him in disbelief. You would run your reputation just to avoid this engagement?”

Edwin’s eyes remained indifferent

He had long seen through the facade of reputation

Panic finally surged into Tilda’s pupils 

She immediately teared up, her eyes welling with tears. Even so, my reputation will be damaged Everyone will way I don’t know what’s good for me, that I played with your feelings They’ll have a bad impression of me from now on. They think I have no morals and probably won’t even give me job opportunities!” 

“I can still get endorsements or scripts for youEdwin offered calmly 

Tilda felt like a wild animal chased and comered by Edwin, with no escape anywhere

She opened her mouth, unsure what to say for a moment

All she felt was a surge of indignation, ready to burst out

Edwin!She sobbed, tears streaming down her face pitifully as she looked at him. How could you do this to me? How could you put me in such a humiliating position? Aren’t you afraid Talia will know about this and be disappointed in you

The more she said, the more Edwin’s brow furrowed with disdain

Is it because of Talia that you’re so confident, forcing my mother with your life to agree step by step, arranging the engagement day for her reputation” 

Tilda choked on her words, staring blankly at Edwin 

It dawned on her then that Edwin was sharp and a few tricks wouldn’t fool him

silent about all this for so long, trying to save the last bit of reputation for Tilda

But she had pushed too far, and he had to set things straight
