Chapter 357
For the past month,
there had been a car parked here.
Sharon did not live on a high floor, so she could see it every time she lowered her head.
However, she was too far away to find out whose car it was.
The car always came in the early morning and left at dawn. Every day, there would be cigarette butts everywhere the car stopped.
Sharon wondered, it had been so cold last night. Had the car come again? Why hadnât the owner gone home? Why had he parked here? And why was he smoking so much?
Just as Sharon was thinking about it, she suddenly heard someone calling, âMs. Cress.â
She looked up and saw Felix standing in front of her in a thick coat.
âMr. Hartman!â Sharon was surprised.
Ever since Edwin confirmed his relationship with Christine, he had not looked for her again. She did not meet anyone related to him again. Felix kicked the snow on the ground. âIâm here to ask M
Ms. Cress for a favorâ
Sharon asked, âAsk me for a favorââ
âYes.â Felix hesitated for a moment before saying, âMr. Stanley knows youâre the person who donated the cornea to him. He feels very sorry for you. During this period of time, he worked nonâstop and didnât go home. I got someone to follow him and realized that he would drive to your place almost every night and stay downstairs for the entire night.â
Sharon turned around in surprise and looked at the sudden patch of black in the snow.
She thought, âSo, it was Edwin who parked the car?
Felix said, âMr. Stanley will die sooner or later if this continues. Ms. Cress, youâre the only one who can help him now.â
It took Sharon a while to snap out of her thoughts.
She wondered, âIs that the reason why Edwin stopped pestering me?
A grand party was being held at Windsor Hotel that day. The granddaughter of a wellâknown person in the city was engaged.
He had many dealings with Bisney Entertainment and was one of the companyâs major clients.
Alanna was wearing a bright red offâshoulder dress. She h had specially dragged Sharon over.
âWhy do you coop yourself up at home every day? Come out and meet handsome guysâ Alanna sashayed all the way. Even though she was wearing a gown, she could not hide her fiery temper.
Sharon was wearing a white gauze dress. The hem of the dress was modest, but it perfectly displayed her figure.
Shuron was in
was in white, while Alanna was in red. Sharon looked angelic, while Alanna looked sexy
The moment the two of them walked in, they immediately attracted countless gazes.
Sharon shook her head speechlessly. âYouâre hopeless.â
The two of them walked up to the wellâknown person and greeted him. âMeâLewis, congratulations.â
Geoffrey Lewis smiled and exchanged a few pleasantries with Alanna. Sharon was g Alannaâs side.
glad to be the background. She greeted Geoffrey and retreated to
Alannaâs words of flattery made Geoffrey laugh nonâstop. Even Geoffreyâs granddaughter and grandsonâinâlaw looked at her in a different light. âHello, Mr. Lewisâ Just as the group of pe
people were in a cheerful mood, a female voice suddenly sounded.
Sharon had been smiling absentâmindedly with her head lowered. When she heard that voice, she felt that it sounded familiar. She could not help but look up. She saw Christine at a glance.

Christine was wearing a gown of the same color as her. Even the style was a little similar, just that the length was different.
Christine held onto Edwin and strode over to Geoffrey with an exceptionally sweet smile.
âMr. Lewis.â Edwin greeted Geoffrey in a low voice.
The smile on Alannaâs face quickly froze at the sight of Christine and Edwin. She bade farewell to Geoffrey and pulled Sharon out of the crowd.
As she walked, she snorted. âChristine must have done it on purpose. Sheâs wearing the same dress as you so that others can judge whether Edwinâs exâwife or future wife is prettier. Doesnât she find it embarrassing?â
Sharon did not read into it as much as Alanna. She only smiled faintly. âItâs probably just a coincidence.â
Alanna said, âI donât think Christine is a good person. She must have something up her sleeve
As the two of them spoke, they walked to the corner. Sharon turned around and saw Edwin lowering his head to tidy Christineâs dress.
He did it very seriously, smoothing the creases on Christineâs dress bit by bit..
The surrounding people looked at Christine enviously. âMiss Gildon is really lucky to be liked by Mr. Stanley
Thatâs right. Mr. Stanley has always been generous and loyal to the woman he likes. In the past,
Tildaâ¦â
These discussions inevitably reached Christineâs ears.
Christine lowered her head and looked at Edwin, who was holding the hem of her dress with his long fingers and carefully smoothing out the creases. The corners of Christineâs lips silently curled into a mocking smile. She glanced sideways into the distance, where Sharon pulled back the hem of her dress.
Everyone thought that Edwin was tidying her dress. Only she knew that Edwin was treating her as Sharon.
She bought the same dress as Sharon because she wanted to make Edwinâs heart ache and let him have a taste of what it was like to be unrequited in love.
Christine was vicious
and
However, Edwin was too focused and serious, Christine could not help but fall for his warmth and gradually forgot that everything he did was for revenge.
After Edwin f
finished tidying her dress, she hooked her arm around his and leaned over.
âStay away from me when thereâs no one around. Just as Christine was feeling blissful, a cold voice suddenly sounded in her ear.
Her mind was quickly brought back to reality.
Edwin withdrew the arm that Christine hooked. He coldly stepped forward and did not look at her again.
Christine felt as if she had been slapped a few times, and her tears were about to flow out
She ran forward and reached out to stop him. âEdwin, you discarded me after using me. Arenât you going overboard?â
She was only greeted by a cold gaze.
âDonât assume I donât know that you treated me as Sharon just now. Even if weâre pretending to be a couple, you shouldnât humiliate me like this,â Christine angrily exclaimed, regarding herself as a victim,
âYouâve also done a lot with my guilt over Sharon, havenât you?â
Edwin said, âV
Edwinâs cold
words were like
a knife cutting through Christineâs heart, exposing her vile thoughts. She was so embarrassed that she froze on the
âYouâre talking nonsense. Her voice was trembling and she sounded unconfident.
Edwin left without responding to her.
Christine was embarrassed and angry. She tightened her grip on the her
hem of her dress, and her knuckles turned white.
She suddenly felt like a clown. She secretly rejoiced at the thought of toying with others but did not expect that all her despicable actions would be seen through by Edwin. She felt utterly humiliated.

Behind her. Sharon silently watched this scene.
She had followed Edwin and Christine because of Felixâs words.
Initially, she had some doubts, but after hearing Edwin and Christineâs conversation, she finally believed Felix
Christine also saw Sharon. Her eyes were red and filled with tears.
She glared at Sharon. âAre you satisfied now!â
Then, she left angrily.
Sharon looked at the ground with a solemn expression
She didnât know how long she stood there until she felt a shadow envelop her. She looked up and saw Edwin
Sharonâs eyes flashed in surprise. She did not expect him to come back.
Just as she was about to speak, Edwin spoke first. âIâve already contacted the best comea doctor. Theyâve used DNA technology to develop a cornea that suits you. It can help you regain your vision.â
With that, he handed over a business card
Sharon looked down at the business card.
In the past, she had thought of having a cornea transplant However, she lud forcefully removed her cornea back then. Even if she had a cornea transplant, it would not be of any use.
âSo, from now on, weâre even?â Sharon was not in a hurry to accept the business card. She looked at Edwin
For the sake of their past relationship, she did not want him to be shackled and unable to extricate himself.
âYes.â He nodded. âWeâre even.â
He stuffed the business card into her palm and pressed his fingers against it for a few seconds. Eventually, he retracted his hand.
âGoodbye.â Edwin turned around and left.
Sharon looked at his retreating figure.
Two years later.
