Chapter 331
Sharon had once fallen in love deeply and knew what those eyes meant. She knew this girl had feelings for Ray. She turned to look at Ray. The warm smile on his handsome face was gone, replaced by a complex expression. Sharon couldn’t decipher what it meant, but it was clear his relationship with the girl wasn’t simple.
“Take care,” Sharon said understandingly, stepping back. Then she lifted the hem of her dress and walked away briskly.
“Edwin, what’s going on? How did Ray get tangled up with Foxy Damon Jasmine was frantic as she finally found her son after searching everywhere. She started questioning him immediately, unable to hide her disappointment. The elegant and dignified demeanor she usually maintained had vanished, replaced by visible frustration
In contrast, Edwin’s expression was so calm it seemed like they were in two different worlds, never intersecting. He remained in his original stance. hands casually resting on the railing. His chiseled features were sharp, his gaze fixed on a particular point. From his vantage, he watched as three figures distanced themselves, one of them walking away with her dress lifted. His gaze followed her until she disappeared completely.
*Edwin, are you even listening to me?” Jasmine was growing increasingly impatient. She could hardly contain her anger, but she didn’t dare make at scene here for fear of embarrassing herself, so she kept pushing it down. Her perfect makeup started to crack under the strain.
Edwin finally shifted his gaze to his mother. The deep, soft look in his eyes was gone, replaced by his usual cold detachment. He pressed his lips together and remained silent. His silence made his seriousness even more evident. Even as his mother, Jasmine felt a hint of fear. If it weren’t for the bitterness in her heart, she would have long given up to force Edwin and walked away.
Jasmine clutched her chest, trying to calm her nerves, and spoke in a more coaxing tone. “I don’t mean any harm. I just see you care about her, and I don’t want you to miss out on someone you like.”
“Someone I like?” Edwin finally spoke, repeating her words. The words lingered, full of deeper meaning.
Jasmine felt a wave of embarrassment. Without saying a word, she felt like she was slapped in the face by Edwin. He gave her a piercing look as if telling her straight up that her statement of “not wanting him to miss out on someone he likes was just an excuse. At least her proactive intentions weren’t for him.
In front of her son, Jasmine felt utterly exposed, struggling to find her voice for a long moment. I admit, I quite like Foxy Damon. Though she’s a bit arrogant, she’s capable and can assist you someday. Here, she cleared her throat and looked at her son. “Edwin, over these years, you’ve led the company to great success, shutting the mouths of those who doubted your abilities. But your marriage has always been criticized, and I don’t want those shareholders using it against you later on. If you marry Foxy Damon, at least that concern will be gone. Of course, marrying a capable wife will also improve my reputation when I’m in public. This last sentence was her true intention.
Edwin looked at his mother with disappointment. From the time he could understand, she only cared about her own reputation. She was willing to give up anything as long as it earned her face, even her own son. “Do you know who she is?” He asked, not coldly but with disappointment and irony playing on his lips.
“She? Isn’t she Foxy Damon Jasmine didn’t understand his meaning and replied hesitantly. “Who else could it be if she’s not Foxy Damon?” she wondered.
Edwin did not explain further and left. Seeing him leave like this made Jasmine furious, but she didn’t dare to stop him.
After Sharon left, she found a safe and quiet place to hide. She didn’t want to see Edwin or let the Gildon family or others interfere too much in her relationship with Ray. Fortunately, God seemed to know what she wanted, and no one disturbed her for the rest of the time.
It wasn’t until after ten o’clock that Ray called to find Sharon, saying the party was over. She couldn’t wait to tell him where she was. A few minutes later, Kay appeared in front of her.
“You’ve hidden yourself pretty well; Ray said with a wry smile, eyeing her hiding spot.
Sharon smiled back, opting not to ask about his relationship with that girl. Ray didn’t explain either, just offering. I’ll take you home.” It was late, and the didn’t want him to waste any more time and asked him to escort her to the residential complex where she had lived before.
Taking off her mask, she carried a small bag and bid farewell before entering the residential complex. She only emerged from it after Ray’s car had driven away. Her home was in Moorwald, and unless there was something special, she always headed home.
Sharon walked to the roadside, planning to hall a cab back to Moorwald. Just as she took out her phone, she felt a pressure overhead, her entire body covered by a shadow, Instinctively looking up, she saw Edwin standing not far away, lips pursed, his gaze heavy as he looked at her. There was a weighty aura about him that made it hard to breathe just from his gaze alone. It felt suffocating.
Sharon couldn’t help but take a deep breath, forcing herself to meet his eyes. “Mr. Sunley, is there something you need?” Her tone was light as if meeting a casual acquaintance.

Edwin frowned slightly, seeming displeased, but he didn’t dwell on it. He simply said, “Ray’s flirtations are different from Edric’s. His flirtations are just for show to his family. Deep down, Ray harbors feelings for someone, but that girl’s status isn’t sufficient to become a Mrs. Gildon. His parents warned him early on that continuing a relationship with that girl would ruin her. Ray listens on the surface, but he never intends to give her up. If you really get together with him, it’ll only end up in a three–way mess.”
Sharon listened quietly to his words, thinking of that seemingly delicate woman. Though Sharon had
fragile beauty had left a deep impression on her. Sharon had to admit the woman was a true beauty seen her briefly, the woman’s gentle and
“Beauty, yet so fragile. It’s most likely to make a man rise in protection. But what does it matter to me! It’s fake between me and Ray. I don’t care how many people are in his heart, thinking of this, Sharon gave a symbolic tug at the corner of her lips and said, “Oh
