Dumping 292

Chapter 292

Ariella gave a self–mocking laugh. “You probably figured it out long ago. Kenneth and I actually knew each other for a long time. Back then, neither of us was famous, and we shared both the good and the bad times. I was even willing to retreat behind the scenes for him, giving him all the resources I fought for”

As she spoke, her eyes became distant.

She continued, “As smart as you are, you should have guessed it. In fact, Maisie was once my best friend. But at Kenneth’s celebration party, the two of them kissed.”

Revealing the past felt like a stabbing pain.

Sharon, having experienced heartache, could deeply understand Ariella’s pain

The more lightly she laughed now, the more it had hurt her back then.

“Why do you have to say it out loud? You can actually keep quiet, she couldn’t avoid saying.

Although it was a spur–of–the–moment thing, she didn’t like to open up old wounds,

“I believe you” Ariella smiled with an indifferent expression.

Ariella smiled, her expression calm as she replied, “I trust you. Even after knowing them for over ten years, some people are still like strangers hidden behind a thousand masks, making it impossible to see clearly. But for some people. in only takes a few days or even a few hours to understand them completely. You are that kind of person.”

Sharon chuckled softly, “Are you implying that I’m shallow?”

Sharon chuckled softly. “Are you implying that I’m shallow!”

Ariella’s evaluation was quite fair.

Sharon nodded in agreement and stated, “I like it when you describe me that way.”

Ariella smiled, “I know your nature; you don’t harm others, but you also won’t let others harm you. But no matter what, it’s best not to choose this moment for revenge. I understand.”

A friend who

was

both perceptive and sincere was rare and valuable

Sharon reassured, “Don’t worry. No matter how big the grudge, I won’t joke around with the production team.”

The pitiful image of the director popped into Sharon’s mind; she certainly didn’t want to be responsible for making him lose all his remaining hair However, she still planned to find an opportunity to gather some dirt on Maisie. Once the show was over, Maisie’s nightmare would begin!

As she was plotting, her vision suddenly darkened, and a tall figure blocked her way.

The person looked down at her, making him appear even more unreachable.

Sharon was startled for a moment before looking up. Her neck began to ache as she finally saw the man’s face.

It was Edwin again.

This man is like a persistent ghost, Sharon inwardly sighed.

Edwin stated, “Miss Mullen, can you leave for a moment? I need to talk to Foxy. While Edwin spoke to Ariella, his eyes were fi

were fixed on Sharon.

His inherent cold demeanor intimidated Ariella. She shivered slightly but still nodded and agreed, “Okay”

After speaking, she walked gracefully into the main hall.

Sharon slood there, her lips curving slightly into a mocking smile, “Sot Mr. Stanley, are you here to seule scores with me on behalf of your beloved”

Though smiling,

her eyes were filled with coldnesL

Edwin quietly absorbed this coldness as he asked, “Do you despise me?”

His out–of–context question stunned Sharon, and she gasped in surprise. “Huh?” She looked at him as if he were a strange creature.

Did it matter if she despised him or not?

She kindly reminded him, “Mr. Stanley, you’re asking the wrong question.”

Edwin frowned.

He disliked how she always used an honorific to address him with such distant formality.

Edwin wanted to beat around the bush, but she had no time for that. She straightforwardly threw out the question, I did indeed threaten your precious person. What do you want to do about it, Mr. Stanley?

She tilted her face to one side as she spoke, looking at him provocatively

Her lips pressed into a stubborn line.

For sorth

some reason. despite the hostility and provocation in Sharon’s expression, Edwin found her lively and endearing.

His lips gradually curved into a smile

“He’s smiling?” Sharon looked at Edwin as if she had seen a ghost, and thought. “He’s actually smiling at me? Must be seeing things!

-1 want to pursue you,” he said.

Sharon felt like something had slammed into her brain, and everything suddenly went blank.

She stared dumbfoundedly at Edwin, wondering if she was hearing things or if he was playing a trick on her

This man usually made her feel like talking to him was a waste of time, yet now he was willing to play games with her over Talia.

After a long while, she awkwardly smiled and said, “Mr. Stanley, you have quite the sense of humor.”

This was the slowest reaction she had ever had.

I’m not joking, nor am I here to discuss or seek opinions. I’m informing you,” he said bluntly.

“What?” Sharon’s brain crashed once again.

She looked up and saw Edwin’s focused gaze and serious expression as he uttered the most romantic words in the world.

To an outsider, it might have seemed like he was conducting a meeting or assigning tasks.

It was inexplicably… comical.

“You’re not trying to defend Talia with this move, are you?” Sharon asked, posing an incredibly silly question.

Edwin smiled, “Do you think I’m that freet

For some reason, Edwin fo

found Sharon’s silly and infatuated questioning adorable,

Even though he couldn’t see her face, he liked her even more.

It was only just now that Edwin admitted his feelings to himself.

He had actually fallen for her long ago.

“It seems like it,” Sharon replied.

This topic couldn’t go on. Sharon swiftly passed by him and dashed into the main hall

Edwin turned to watch her fleeing figure, and a deeper smile curled his lips.

Compared to

to Edwin’s good mood, Sharon felt like she had been turned upside down. In the following moments, her head was spinning, and she was unable to think clearly about anything.

Edwin, who had previously been clear–cut in their interactions, suddenly confessed to her, changing everything

Even the strongest heart would struggle to handle it.

Chapter 202

Sharon had no idea how she had managed to come this far.

By the time she returned to the main hall’s entrance, the sun had already started to set, and a crowd had gathered there.

Their sudden appearance startled the churchgoers.

While everyone remained restrained, they refused to leave and formed several layers of people around them.

Sharon looked at the various eyes around her with a headache, feeling like a monkey on display.

“Wow!” Suddenly, there was an explosive shout and applause from a small group

Sharon turned around and saw Finlay embracing Maisie around the waist, smiling blissfully together.

Compared to Finlay, Maisie looked stunned and uncomfortable as if she had just swallowed a fly.

Not just a fly, she looked like she had swallowed dung!

Sharon even saw her eyes reddening and swelling, and she was almost on the verge of tears.

She murmured in confusion, “What’s going on?”

“I never expected those two to go public. Ariella said as she walked over, putting her arm around Sharon’s shoulder to clear up her confusion.

Ariella looked at the pair with surprise herself.

After the surprise, there was also a hint of amusement.

She added, “Maisie is always clear–headed. Even someone like Kenneth, a big shot who can be tossed aside at will, why would she jump into the arms of the playboy Finlay?”
