Chapter 4
“What’s this? Accusing me of neglecting her? Everything she brought upon herself. What right does she have to complain here? Edwin thought. Despite Sharon’s surprised expression, he still believed it was all her acting. He turned and walked away. She doesn’t want the way out I offered, yer insists on playing this game. She’ll only stop when she’s utterly embarrassed herself and slinks back home!”
“Mrs. Stanley, the butler greeted, noticing Sharon trailing behind
Edwin slowed his pace, feeling it necessary to remind Sharon that her endless antics would only lead to trouble. He said coldly, “Listen.”
“Thank you.” Sharon didn’t stop but went straight to a maid who handed her a small bundle. Then she turned to the butler and said, “From now on, call me Ms. Cress. Also, I don’t need anything from the room. Dispose of it as you wish.” With that, she turned and walked away.
Edwin was stunned. Sharon talked to the butler and the maid, but she completely ignored him.
The butler and maid widened their eyes, looking at Sharon as if she were a stranger. In the past, whenever Edwin was around, Sharon acted as if on thin ice, cautious and eager to please. But today, she changed.
Once outside, Sharon addressed the young man still standing there, “Let’s go.”
The young man quickly opened the car door for her and replied, “Alright. Then they both gor in the car.
“Alanna’s gone mad, and what happened to you?” Sharon scolded with a stern face. With such a grand spectacle, she knew that it was al

On the other end. Alanna sounded lively. “How was it? Did Edwin get rattled? Don’t worry. This is just the beginning. I’ll roll them out one by one. each more impactful than the last. Let him see clearly how popular you are.”
Hearing that, Sharon was speechless.
At Stanley Manor, Sharon left for a while, but Edwin remained rooted to the spor
“Why did Mrs. Stanley leave with that mant” a servant asked, puzzled. “Mr. Stanley, is she ch… you know. She didn’t dare utter the word “cheating” but everyone understood.
Edwin frowned and remained silent. Then he walked away.
Back at the residence, Sharon received a call from the Stanley family’s servant “Mrs. Stanley, you better come back soon. Mr. Stanley looks furious. You should apologize and explain to him properly. Don’t let things get out of hand”
Listening calmly to the worried servant, Sharon replied, “Thank you for your concern, but didn’t Mr. Stanley tell you? We’ve already finalized our divorce.
“Divorce?” The servant was shocked, glancing at the brooding Edwin beside. Seeing the banners earlier, she thought it was just a joke. Now she realized it was real.
The servant quickly pieced together Sharon’s previous reactions and almost dropped the phone in shock. She thought, ‘Mrs. Stanley dumped Mr. Stanley?
Edwin, impatient with the servant’s failure to provide a specific return time for Sharon, walked over and snatched the receiver. Just as he was to sprak, Sharon’s voice came through. “Tell him not to worry. Alter the divorce, he can go his way, and I’ll go mine. I’ve sent him a bank cand. Consider it a gift for his future remarriage.”

Before he could react, the butler arrived with a delivery person. The delivery person handed over a bank card. Edwin was imitated as he recognized the card she was referring to–the one he had given her on their anniversary day.
The delivery person, sensing his dark and ominous aura, hastily left without asking for a signature.
Meanwhile, at Alanna’s apartment, Alanna listened to Sharon’s words with amusement, “Oh, Sharon, you’re something chet Giving him a remarriage gift like this, Edwin must be furious. Well done!”
She snapped her fingers, jumping up from the sofa. “Let’s arrange the second round immediately. The last time was just a warm–up. This time, well use our star player. Let’s drive Edwin crazy?”
