Dumping 188

Chapter 188

In the Stanley Family, Jasmine had received countless congratulatory y calls these past few days.

Despite her displeasure, she had to pretend to be happy.

Tilda’s suicide attempt had caused a huge stir, making it impossible for Jasmine to keep a low profile.

Now, everyone in the city’s upper echelons knew about Edwin and Tilda’s engagement

After finishing her call, Jasmine instructed Myra to bring tools to polish her nails, pondering how to handle the engagement so as not to damage the Stanley family’s reputation while persuading Tilda to voluntarily cancel the engagement with the Stanley family.

As Jasmine polishard her nails, Myra wornedly looked over. “Mr. Edwin hasn’t been home these past few days. He probably doesn’t know you’ve set the engagement date. What if he disagreed”

ཇ

Jasmine, eyes half–lidded, wasn’t overly concerned. Tve already discussed it with him before. Whether he knows or not doesn’t matter”

Myra opened her mouth as if to say more but ultimately remained silent

After all, she was just a servant and couldn’t meddle in the affairs of the masters

As they spoke, the door suddenly banged open.

Jasmine and Myra were startled, looking toward the door together

Standing there was a tall figure exuding a cold aura, his handsome Lace serious and silent.

“Mr. Edwin, Myra exclaimed anxiously. Even though she often met Edwin, his presence was still intimidating.

Jasmine also snapped out of her surprise and spoke up. “When did you get back? Is work going smoothly?”

She gestured for Myrato

Falwin coldly evaded her touch. “Who set the engagement date? Why make sach a decision without my consent?”

His tone was unfriendly.

Jasmine’s well–maintained face stiffened for a moment, but she still spoke. 15 the date. As you know, with Tilda’s situation causing such a competion for the Stanley Lamily, many people have been calling Some even doubt whether were serious about it. I did this to silence the

muinois.

“Are you planning to make me marry Tika then?” Edwin pressed.

“How could that be! It’s just a stopgap measure” Jasmine denied it without hesitation

A sardonic smile curled Edwin’s lips. “Do you really think such a stopgap measure can silence people! As long as I don’t marry Tilda, the fate of the Stanley family being gossiped about won’t changel

“But..Jasmine hadn’t considered so much. Now that Edwin mentioned it, she realized something was amiss.

Yet, she didn’t lose her composure completely. “In the future, we can find some fault with Tilda a

and make her cancel the engagement voluntarily “Do you think that’s possible? She manipulated you into agreeing to the engagement without any intention of canceling in Edwin retorted.

“She manipulated? Are you saying. Confidence drained from Jasmine’s face, replaced by a deeply troubled expression.

Her fingers tightened on her skirt.

So, all of this is Tilda’s design? Have I been deceived? Jasmine wondered.

Only now did Jasmine slowly wake up and understand

“Announce immediately. Cancel the engagement Edwin’s decisive voice cut through, without a hint of hesitation.

Turning, he started walking away.

Realizing something. Jasmine grabbed him. “Edwin, it’s too late. The engagement is today, about to begin. Guests are already at the venue. How can I cancel it now?”

Jasmine’s face showed unprecedented urgency, with no time left to blame Tilda. “Even if it was Tilda’s plan, we have no way out Edwin, just cooperate for now. After the engagement ceremony ends, we can discuss this further, okay?”

Utimately, she cared about her reputation.

If today’s engagement didn’t proceed, both the Stanley family and her own reputation would be ruined.

Of course, Edwin understood her intentions. Though he had never held any expectations for her, his heart could not help but sink.

“Is the reputation really that important to you?” Edwin asked.

“But… Jasmine was at a loss for words after his question, stunned for a moment before speaking softly. Tm doing this for your own good. You entertain outside every day. If your reputation is damaged, how can you hold your head hight!

Edwin remained silent.

Clearly, he wasn’t convinced.

“Edwin Jasmine’s voice grew urgent

Edwin pull

pulled his clothes free from her grasp “Ill handle this myself. Stay home”

With those words, he walked away, leaving jasmine both frantic and furous, stomping her foot in frustration, wanting to chase after him

Ourside, two bodyguards intercepted her “Mes Jasmine. Mr. Edwin asked you to stay at home”

Jasmine couldn’t chase after Edwin, so he could only vent his anger on the bodyguards

However, the bodyguards did not listen to her orders at all.

In the end, she had no choice but to call Tilda

In the dressing room. expense for

Ino

Tilda was already adorned in the most luxurious gown, meticulously tailored by a renowned designer Jasmine had spared no

As attendants attended to her makeup and gown with envy in their eyes, Tildas agent, Shirley Gould, beamed brightly. “Tilda, Mr. Stanley cares in much about you. It’s a good thing. After the engagement, don’t think about playing around. I have several scripts in negotiation that are sure to elevate your stangs. Riding this wave, you’ll finally hit it ling this year”

It had been a while since Shirley had spoken so amiably to Tilda

There was even a hint of flattery in her tone.

After all, once Tilda became engaged to Edwin, she wouldn’t need to bother with acting or being a star anymore. Just showing off their love every day would suffice.

Yet, Tilda’s engagement to Edwin would skyrocket her

Even using Edwin’s name would bring Tilda plenty of scripts in the future

Not only

only would Tilda rise to stardom again, but she could also help promote other newcomers under Shirley’s name.

Others overheard Shirley’s praise and fawned over Tilda one by one

Some even offered to be her bridesmaids for free.

Tilda lifted her chin arrogantly, ignoring them with indifference.

Over the years, Tilda had maintained her image by pretending to be kind and doing things she didn’t like.

Now, with the title of Edwin’s fiancee, she no longer needed to pretend!

With narrowed eyes. Tilda imagined countless people watching her and Edwin stand together later, feeling a joy like never before.

“Tilda, can you teach me how to win over a wealthy man’s heart and make him devoted to me?” Finally, someone couldn’t resist asking her for advice, given the rumors about Edwin and ber.

Tilda had cheated and went overseas four years ago. No one had expected that she could even reconcile with Edwin even after the returned. Countless people were envious

Tilda glanced lightly at the girl and smiled coldly. “Learning this isn’t easy. You need a clever mind”

The girl’s face instantly paled upon hearing this and wondered, Dies Tilda mean I am stupid”

Enraged, she even wanted to kill Tilda.

However, Tilda was too high and mighty. The girl didn’t dare to say a word, standing there in silent anger.

Just then. Tilda’s phone rang

Seeing Jasmine’s number flashing on the screen, she smiled even wider. “Mrs. Stanley is calling. Excuse me

With that, she ignored everyone, swept her gown aside, and walked to a quieter comer to take the call.
