Although Sharon had agreed to Ray's plan to pretend they were a couple, she didn't want to lie to Edwin. It felt too calculated. But after tonight, she realized it was best to keep her distance.
For my future, Mr. Stanley, please keep your distance from me. And delete the photos," she said firmly,
Without waiting for Edwin's response, she took Irene from his arms and went upstairs.
Edwin returned home at one in the morning. Jasmine was still awake. She had been struggling with insomnia lately, and tonight was worse than usual. Her mind was restless, and she couldn't fall asleep. Frustrated, she rabbed her temples. She worried that her insomnia would rain the skin she worked so hard to maintain. Just as she was feeling annoyed, the door opened.
Edwin walked in, his body cold. He was holding his coat rather than wearing it, despite the night temperature tropping to 50 degrees Fahrenheit. He was in just a thin shirt, seemingly unaffected by the cold. His eyes were icy.
politely and said. "Mom"
As he passed by Jasmine, he nodded p
Jasmine was used to Edwin's cold demeanor but still stopped him. "How much do you know about Sharon, Edwin""
Edwin frowned, unhappy with Jasmine's inquiry about Sharon.
Jasmine, filled with questions, couldn't hold back. "I found out today that Sharon set up a very successful reading platform. Do you know Lit Nook? Do you know she's the owner of Lir Nook!"

no longer any news in the industry. Many business schools analyzed Sharon's model and praised her for it.
Edwin granted, expressionless. He had known since discovering Sharon was Big Eyes and had been paying close attention to her.
"You knew? Is that why you're in contact with her?" Jasmine guessed, trying to persuade him. “Son, Sharon isn't a good person. She tricked you before. Maybe everything she's doing now is just to get our family's approval and remarry you! If only she's truly so capable. She probably gos others to put it under her name. Jasmine said, still believing Sharon was uncultured and incompetent. "She might have sold herself to some shady
Jasmine's words grew more vulgar, losing her elegance entirely.
"Mom, don't talk nonsense" Edwin snapped. Jasmine's slander of Sharon had crossed a line "She built the reading platform herself. Even if she had help, it was mutually beneficial. She didn't need to sell herself!"
Edwin rarely said much to Jasmine, but now he defended Sharon with a long speech. Jasmine was shocked
She was shocked that Edwn said so much on behalf of Sharon.
"Why are you so concerned about Sharon Aren't you with Foxy Damon?" she asked uneasily.
"In the future, don't speak about her without evidence!" Edwin rubbed his temples, nos explaining further but warning her.
Because Sharon hadn't mentioned anything about it, Edwin hadn't told anyone that Sharon was Foxy Damon and kept it a secret, even from Jasmine.
Jasmine listened to her son, digging her nails into her palms as thoughts raced through her mind.
Though Edwin was cold, he never lied. So, Sharon really created that platform herself. Jasmine began to believe Edwin, Sharon's demeanor after the divorce was different, and she seemed more capable. If she's so powerful, why hide it from the Stanley Gamily and keep a low profile? Jasmine wondered.
Although Jasmine didn't understand why Sharon was doing this, she recalled that Sharon's demeanor was completely different from the few times they had clashed after the divorce. This made her increasingly believe what Edwin had said.
She suddenly didn't dislike Sharon as much as before.
Sharon might not have as many as 100 million fans as Foxy, but she had built a powerful platform
Even though Sharon's background was modest, creating such a platform was quite impressive

Compared to Foxy, Sharon seemed easier to manage
Jasmine couldn't help but compare Sharon's two identities. No matter how she looked at it. Foxy seemed more difficult. If Foxy became the Stanley family's daughter-in-law, Jasmine felt she might have to wait on Foxy instead.
After thinking this over, Jasmine's mood improved, and she felt a wave of sleepiness.
She got up, ready to catch up on her beauty sleep.
At that moment, Edwin's phone buzzed. It wasn't a call but a message notification.
was any news abour Sharon online.
He had set up his phone to alert him whenever there was any newsContent property of NôvelDra/ma.Org.
Because it was related to her, he felt unusually anxious. He quickly pulled out his phone to check.
The message appeared on the screen, readable without unlocking it.
As he saw the string of characters on the blue screen, Edwin's brows furrowed, and his knuckles tightened.
The room was instantly filed with tension, like the calm before a storm.
Even Jasmine felt it and asked, "What's wrong?
But Edwin said nothing, clenching his teeth, and walked out the door, slamming it behind him.
"What's wrong" Jasmine thought. Jasmine was confused and stared at the door. 'Is it a problem with the company?
Thinking of this, Jasmine felt her knees go weak
Worried, she called Felix Felix, half-asleep, yawned as he answered, "The company is fine. Mr. Stanley must be going out for personal reasons."
"Personal reasons?"
With this reminder, Jasmine is might be about Foxy Damon, Sharon, or Irene. If something happened to Irene, Sharon would have called directly, So it wasn't that She remembered Edwin's phone screen looked like a news feed. She quickly got on her food and checked the news feed.
There wasn't much news at one in the morning so it didn't take long to find what she was looking for. Catching sight of Sharon's name, Jasmine started reading. Reading in, she gasped.
