Chapter 232
“What is she?” Edwin asked.
Ray suddenly laughed. “Edwin, it looks like you’re in love with her.”
If Edwin hadn’t, why would he be so sensitive to this question?
Edwin stood there, silent. In the dark, his thick black eyebrows and frown made his face look more brooding-
He pursed his thin lips. Under Ray’s gaze, he slowly raised his head and looked straight into Ray’s eyes. “So what if I fall in love with her?”
Ray’s eyes suddenly narrowed. There was a look of understanding and shock in his eyes,
He thought Edwin would deny it like before or remain silent at least. But Edwin admitted it. After being stunned for a moment, Ray suddenly laughed.
Edwin stood there and looked at him with a smile. Then Edwin frowned silently but didn’t ask any questions.
This was Edwin’s way. Even though he was touched, he could remain calm, cool, and collected.
This was the secret to Edwin’s success, also the trait that Ray hated the most.
At this moment, Ray wanted to smash Edwin’s heart into pieces. He couldn’t believe Edwin had hurt such a kind
woman
Sharon had done so much for Edwin. She would rather hide her intelligence and be humble and even groveling.
“Edwin, you’d better not fall in love with her, Ray warned him.
“Give me a reason,” Edwin said. He was like a leopard, silently sizing up his opponents and analyzing their every move. He could tell that Ray had something on his mind.
Ray kept a smile on his face and did not answer. Even though Ray’s smile was as gentle as usual, Edwin could feel something ominous about his smile.
The next moment, Ray turned around, got into his car, and drove away. Edwin threw up his hands in frustration.
Late at night, Jake arrived at Edwin’s office and called out, “Mr. Stanley.”
Dressed in black, Edwin was almost one with the night, like a ghost moving through the darkness.
The wide–brimmed black hat hid all the emotions on his face. Edwin sat in the chair. No one knew what he was thinking.
It wasn’t until Jake’s cry rang out that he propped himself up with both hands and slowly stood up.
“Are you sure there’s nothing wrong with the information you gave me last time?” Edwin asked.
Jake took a minute to realize Edwin was talking about information about Sharon.
“Yes,” he answered. “I have my principles. If I can’t find anything, I will apologize to you. I’ll never give you fake
information…
Edwin kept his hands on the table and looked up at Jake.
Even though he was still shorter than Jake in this posture, he had the same powerful vibe.
Jake knew his place well. Edwin was his boss, not the opposite.

“What I’m asking is, could someone have given you false information that you didn’t even know about?” Edwin said.
“Impossible. Jake was full of confidence.
Hearing this, Edwin nodded. He slowly opened the drawer.
Then, he threw a file on the table. “Look, is this the one you gave me?
Jake reached out to take it and glanced at the cover. “No.”
“No?” Edwin was slightly stunned.
Jake waved the envelope. The documents from me have a signature on the side. There’s none here,” Jake explained.
He pointed to the side of the envelope that was as thin as a thread.
“It’s my special mark. Most people wouldn’t notice it, Jake said.
It was too thin. Even if there was a signature, no one would be able to see it
Edwin took the envelope and aimed his phone’s camera at the side of the envelope for a closer look. As expected, there was nothing.
So it was switched? Edwin thought to himself.
“I still have the information in my hands. I can send you another copy,” Jake said.
Edwin quietly lowered his head and slowly put down the brown envelope.
His fingers pressed heavily on it and twisted it again and again.
Who
was so bold as to replace the document right under Edwin’s nose?
After Jake left, he sat back in his chair.
This time, he narrowed his eyes and there was a cold and sharp glint in them.
Although Ray did not say anything tonight, Edwin sensed that Sharon might not be what the information showed. There should be something Edwin didn’t know about her. That was why he called Jake over for these questions.
Jake’s words confirmed his thoughts. Edwin was now curious about who Sharon really was.
After thinking for a long time, Edwin picked up his phone and called Felix. “Find out if anyone came to my office over the last few days,” Edwin said. Then he gave a date and hung up.
In the room, Tilda was leisurely putting on eyebrow makeup.
During this period, she vaguely talked about her interaction with Edwin to let outsiders know that they were not a couple but still good friends.
Thanks to her “sister, Edwin did not give Tilda trouble, nor did he respond.
The others didn’t know Edwin’s attitude towards Tilda and didn’t dare to underestimate her. Although those companies didn’t offer her the resources immediately, they were respectful when speaking to her.
Tilda decided to leave Shirley and her company and use this opportunity to start her own business.
Tilda had been unhappy working for them. The commission they charged was unfair and they looked down on her.
Tilda was confident that she would make something of herself and impress them.

With this thought in mind, Tilda drew on her brow more elegantly.
As she drew, she said to her newly hired assistant, “Find a photo on my phone and post it later.”
you want one with Mr. Stanley?” the assistant asked respectfully with her hands in front of her.
Tilda glanced at her and replied impatiently, “Of course”
“Okay, the assistant responded and trotted to the door. She pulled the door open and stepped back.
