Chapter 227
“I promise you that when she’s better, I’ll definitely bring her to see you. Edwin, on account of her kindness to you back then, give her some time, okay?” The tearful look on Tilda’s face made her look even more pitiful. Coupled with her pitiful voice, anyone who heard it would be moved.
Edwin finally retracted his hand. It was not because he pitied Tilda, but because he was really afraid that Big Eyes would return.
She had even given him her cornea, so he couldn’t bear to hurt her. He withdrew from the hallway.
Tilda and Sam followed him back to the living room. When they looked up, they saw that Edwin did not go out. Instead, he was standing in the living room with his back facing them. His fingers fell in front of him, and an inexplicable sadness surged from his body.
Tilda had known him for so long, but she had never seen such an expression on him. She could not help but be stunned. Sam nudged her, wanting her to say something.
“Edwin…” she said hesitantly.
“You should know my means. If it’s fake, tell me as soon as possible!” After warning them, he disappeared from the living room.
Only when he heard the sound of the car gradually driving away did Sam hold his chest and retreat. His entire body. fell onto the sofa like mud.
Tilda wasn’t any better. Her face was deathly pale, and cold sweat kept rolling down her forehead.
She squeezed the cold metal armrest of the chair hard to prevent herself from falling. After a while, she slowly pushed the wheelchair to the door and opened it with the key. It was empty inside.
Tilda, are you crazy? You used such a thing to cheat Edwin!” Sam got up from the sofa and walked over with difficulty, He held his waist and panted. “Do you know how dangerous it was just now? I was almost scared to death.”
“It’s not the first time we have scammed someone. What’s there to be afraid of?” When she spoke again, Tilda’s voice was already cold, and her expression had returned to normal.
Sam, who had been exposed, was ashamed.
“Didn’t I tell you to find a woman to impersonate her? Tilda said unhappily, “Why isn’t there anyone in here?”
Sam exclaimed, “How am I supposed to find a woman in such a short time? Fortunately, I was smart enough to lock the door so that nothing happened.”
He kept wiping the sweat off his forehead.
This whole thing was just a last–minute move that Tilda came up with Since Edwin wanted to see Talia, she could only send a message to Sam in the car to let him make preparations.
Even though he was used to lying, Sam’s scalp went numb from his daughter’s trick. After all, they were trying to scam Edwin. With a stomp of his foot, he could make Sam from this world without a trace. “Tilda. Although we fooled Edwin this time, it might not be the same next time. We still have to think about it at length. Why don’t we confess to him honestly?”
He was already so old and wanted to live a good life in his later years. He really did not want to get in trouble.
“Confess?” When Tilda heard Sam’s words, her expression changed. “Edwin doesn’t even want to talk to me now. If I confess everything, how am I going to make a comeback?”
The thought of those people bullying her made the roots of her teeth ache. All the blood in her body was boiling. “I’m. counting on him to help me make a comeback!”

Chapter 227
“Oh my god, what are you making a comeback for?” Sam was so scared that he wanted to cry. “If you confess now, he will more or less let us go on account of your sister‘ so that we won’t have to worry about getting out of this alive. If this matter is exposed in the future, not to mention having a luxurious life, we won’t even be able to keep our lives.”
To Sam, having a comfortable life was the ultimate dream. There was no need for him to get in trouble for anything else. “Tilda, you can’t be so muddled.”
Tilda knew very well that this move was indeed risky.
“I’ll go look for Edwin now and apologize to him!” Sam hurriedly ran out of the house.
“It’s too late!” Tilda’s voice sounded behind him. “Dad, have you thought about it? Once Edwin finds out that this is a lie, he will suspect whether Talia is real. You and I both know what’s going on here. Once he makes up his mind to investigate, he will definitely find out the truth. At that time, what’s waiting for us won’t be a luxurious life, but death!”
As soon as Tilda finished speaking, Sam fell to the ground as if his tendons had been pulled out Tilda, I’m about to be killed by you. Can you use your brain before you do anything?”
“Do you think Edwin wouldn’t investigate without this incident? Tilda looked down at Sam on the ground
indifferently. “He’s been suspicious for a long time and has been investigating! I’m actually helping you. Only with this lie will he dispel his doubts and believe that Talia has saved him!
“Edwin is… is investigating? How is that possible? Wasn’t this matter done flawlessly? Why did he… Sam’s face was filled with disbelief.
Tilda snorted coldly. “Do you think Edwin is a fool? If he believed in such things to the end, wouldn’t he have been killed by those ruthless people in the business world?”
The reason why Edwin could not find any clues was because Tilda had the help of an expert. Thinking of that “expert“, Tilda felt a little frustrated.
“Then, what should we do now?” Sam was extremely anxious. He did not want the comfortable days that he had obtained to be gone just like that.
Tilda said, “What else can we do? Of course, we have to find Talia as soon as possible.
Hearing this, Sam wanted to cry again.
He thought, ‘Looking for Talia? She might have died a few years ago. Where can we find her?‘
Sam told Tilda what he thought.
“Regardless of whether we can find her or not, we still have to investigate! If she’s really dead, we’ll find someone with the same description. If there’s no one with the same situation, we’ll make one!” Tilda twisted her fingers, her face filled with ruthlessness.
Sam looked at his daughter and could not help but think. “This daughter is much more ruthless than me!” “You have many connections. I’ll leave this matter to you. I’ll be in charge of stalling Edwin, Tilda instructed.
After his father, Ethan, went to Pinevale and did not return home for a long time, Sharon was inevitably worried and kept calling him.
Ethan declined and said that he had something important to do. When she asked for details, he couldn’t give a clear
answer.
Sharon only thought that he was used to living in the countryside and did not ask further. She instructed him to take good care of himself and transferred some money to his card.
At the weekend, Sharon took Irene home with her.
