Chapter 182

"What's wrong"" Edric asked, puzzled

Edwin didn't respond, simply walking out of the private room

"Damn it" Edric grunted in irritation at Edwin's disregard, kicking the sofa in frustration.

Three days later, inside the Genesis Group office, Jake entered briskly. He saw the tall man discussing business with someone in the office, lowered his eyelids sigh and silently stepped aside.

Edwin glanced at Jake but remained composed, waving his hand to dismiss the others. "Let's end the discussion here for today. Everyone can head back Relieved, everyone quickly left the office

Inside, silence fell.

May swiftly brought in two cups of coffee, retreated soundlessly, and closed the door

Edwin didn't bother offering Jake coffee. He walked over a few steps. "What did you replace our

Jake nodded, meeting his gaze. "Just as you suspected"

The answer caused Edwin's expression to abruptly change, freezing in place. He remained unresponsive for a while.

After a long moment, be finally came to his senses and asked quietly, "Are you sure?"

"Absolutely," Jake affirmed confidently. "I personally verified it. I saw it with my own eyes. Ms. Cress is indeed Foxy

So, all those tips are her legitimate earnings? Edwin wondered.

Edwin's fingers twitched, his face displaying a complex expression.

'Edwin, what did you say to her? You actually accused her of selling out her body" Edwin blamed himself in his mind. Now he understood the meaning belund her words when Sharon left, and he understood the underlying anger. Silently pressing his hands into his pockets, Edwin stood tall, but Jake could still sense something draining from him

Jake's eyes flickered and having said what needed to be said, he then faded into the shadows, so faded as if he had never been there at all. Edwin stood silently for a while, his brows furrowed, before he walked out of the office.

Jake followed him slowly, slipping away quietly through a side passage.

Meanwhile, Ray was bent over, meticulously handling documents at Gildon Group, his usual gentle demeanor evident on his elegant face.

"Thank you." He handed the completed documents to his secretary nearby, smiling warmly. His face was soft, his voice polite, and his expression sincere as he looked at the secretary- The secretary grinned and took the documents, walking briskly toward the exit.

Just as she reached the doorway, she bumped into someone entering, her smile freezing slightly. "Hello, Mr. Stanley," she greeted softly, swiftly stepping aside, her smile fading Edwin's expression remained impassive, devoid of any emotion. He barely nodded in response to the secretary's greeting, almost imperceptibly.

As he passed by, the secretary felt a cold draft, shivering involuntarily.

She couldn't help but feel relieved that she worked for Ray and not this icy man in front of her.

Although Edwin appeared more refined and enduring than Ray, his icy demeanor was intimidating enough to send a chill through anyone.

If Ray was likened to a warm spring breeze, Edwin was like a piercing winter

Upon hearing the secretary's voice, Ray glanced over, unsurprised to see Edwin.

"Talidn't see ile need in. You two are divorced, aren't you?" Ray tilted his head slightly, meeting Edwin's gaze with a smile that seemed to hold more thun mei the rye.

Edwin couldn't help but think about Ray's longstanding favoritism toward Sharon and the numerous

serous times he expressed his affection for her.

A sudden heaviness gripped his chest as if cotton had stuffed it so soft that he couldn't grasp it firmly

Then Ray spoke again. "By the way, Edwin, I heard that you have a very close relationship with Tilda's twin sister. I'm curious. If you found her, would you marry her?"

Edwin Bally looked ups, silently staring at him

Seeing that Itay was also looking at him with great interest, Eshwin finally spoke. "No"

After finishing her live broadcast. Sharon greeted Ethan and planned to meet with a newly recruited partner.

He already had a mature manuscript on hand, preparing for publication.

Using her persuasive methods, Sharon convinced him to publish it on her platform.

With most details settled, their main task now was to modifyi

y his manuscript to better fit their platform's style.

Walking and calling her partner with her head lowered, Sharon almost collided with a car that had just pulled up.

"Sorry" she stepped back, ending her call and apologizing sincerely.

The car stopped, and the door opened.

Out stepped a pair of shiny black leather shoes, followed by legs that were elegantly clad, showcasing refinement Sharon couldn't help but look up, taking in his tall, lean figure and his handsome yet alsof face.
