Chapter 187
The package was tightly wrapped.
was a box within a box, surrounded by foam, and then another box, and yet another.
Tilda kept unwrapping layers but still didnât find anything.
Sam, standing nearby, chuckled, âIt must be something very valuable to be packed like this. Maybe itâs a piece of jewelry worth more than 200 thouund dollar.â
Though Tilda doubted it was worth more than 200 thousand dollars, the meticulous wrapping made her think it must be something of significant valur
Despite feeling a bit annoyed, she continued unwrapping with patience
Finally, she reached the last layer.
The large box had become a small black plastic bag. less than 4 inches long
The bag felt thin but had a hard object invale.
âIs it a credit card?â Sam speculated
Talela, who always maintained a goddessâlike image, thought her admirers wouldnât send something worthless
Tilda was not sure either. She decided to tear open the bag
As soon as she did, something red fell out
It was clearly noi a credit card
Her eyes lived on the red paper, and her expression turned icy
Her heart pounded as if it had been punched
Sum also saw the card and exclaimed, âIsnât this the invitation we sent out yesterday? Whoâs so childish to send it back?â
There were only so many invitations sent out from Tilda
Although her current statis wasnât stellar, the Stanley family still commanded respect. People would likely want to receive such an invitation Sam couldnât imagine who would disrespect the Stanley family like this
But Tilda had a good idea
There were only two people who might do this.
Suppressing her fury, she picked up the invitation and indeed saw the names of Alanna and Sharon âDamn it!â
Tildaâs plan not only failed but was also met with this form of rejection
She felt humiliated by Alanna and Sharon, her face burning with shame.
âWhy did you even invite those two?â Sam saw the names and couldnât help but scold Tilda.
âYou donât understand Tilda snapped at Sam, annoyed.
There was more to her plan than just gaining fame from Alanna and Sharon.
Four years ago, her cheating was a scandal. At the engagement party, prople would definitely remember and gossip about it
By then. Tilda would be utterly humiliated
But with Sharon and Alanna around, they could divert everyoneâs attention.
If they could say some demeaning things or do something to embarrass her, Tilda could play the victim and earn some sympathetic tears.
Tilda had even prepared thoroughly to pin the blame for that incident from four years ago entirely on Sharon
Chapter 187
She could clean her reputation while dragging Sharon into the abyss.
Then, by revealing Sharonâs identity as Foxy Damon, her reputation would be ruined, leaving no one else but Sharon to take the fall.
âItâs a multiâlayered plan, yet she easily ruined it. Not only did Sharon ruin it, but she also sent back the invitation to humiliate me! Tilda wondered angrily.
Tilda was so furious that she kept twisting her fingers, breaking several freshly done nails without noticing.
Sam, who had been sulking after being scolded, now saw her state and couldnât help but show concern. âWhatâs going on?â
Only then did Tilda barely manage to contain her irritation and anger, coming back to her senses.
She crossed her arms over her chest and returned to her previous arrogance, speaking to herself âIt doesnât matter. Even if Iâve lost a move, si what? As long as I become Edwinâs fiancée, Iâll be the winner. The Stanley family will have no choice but to elevate me for their own reputation.â
Wish that, a confident smile once again graced Tildaâs lips.
Meanwhile, Edwin sat in the car, his gaze somber
After parting ways with Jasmine that day, his companyâs overseas bear
branch encountered a major issu
Edwin had hurriedly gone abroad and had been there dealing with it ever since
It was only this morning that Edwin began his journey back home
Lack of rest over a long period had left a faint trace of fatigue between his brows, his eyes tinged with redness.
Edwin lowered his gaze, closing his eyes to rest once he got into the car
Accompanying him was his assistant, Felix Hartman
Felix hd always been Edw
most trusted rightâhand man, but two years ago, he temporarily left his job to be with his wife during childbirth.
Edwin had then temporarily promoted May to be his assistant.
Felixâs child was now over a year old, so he had returned to Edwinâs side.
This time handling affairs abroad. Edan brought Felix with him
Although May was equally capable, she was ultimately a girl.
It wasnât convenient for her to be out in the beld with him.
While Edwin rested, Felix swiftly handled some manageable tasks and categorized the things that Edwin needed to review personally
Once done. Felix began scanning through the news
After a quick browse, his expression changed twice.
âSomething wrong?â Despite resting with his eyes closed, Edwin remained sharp.
He sensed something amiss with Felix and opened his eyes to ask
In those cold, distant eyes, clarity and sharpness indicated his current alertness.
Felix nodded lightly, his hand lightly clenched into a fist. âI just saw the news about your engagement, quite unexpectedâ
Hearing this. Edwin closed his eyes again. âDonât mind it!â
Although he said so, his mind was already calculating.
Edwin had to talk to Tilda personally and sort things out
There was gratitude, but no romantic feelings between them.
However, with the news making such a big splash, Sharon hadnât shown any signs of concern.

âAm I really that insignificant to her! Edwin couldnât help but think of Sharon.
After this thought, he chuckled selfâdeprecatingly.
From start to finish, Sharon is only interested in experiencing married life with him Why would she care about my affairs? Moreover, we are already divorced. The more Edwin thought about it, the worse his mood became..
Felix noticed Edwind bad mood, somewhat puzzled.
But he didnât ask further, only suggesting. The engagement date is quite tight, Mr. Stanley. Would you like me to help you pick out a suit, or will you handle it yourself?â
That question snapped like a rubber band, sharply striking Edwinâs nerves.
Just as Felix was about to retrieve his phone, it was snatched away.
Surprised, Felix looked at Edwin who took his phone, noticing a sudden change from indifference to rapid scrolling on the screen
The deeper and more serious the frown became with each swipe.
âIs something wrong. Mr. Stanley? With years of experience as his assistant, Felix knew Edwin well enough to ask
Edwin suddenly exerted press

His finger pressed down so hard on the phone that his fingertip deformed.
