Chapter 30

“If I hadn’t spoken up back then, what would’ve become of the Stanley family?” Sharon asked with a half–smile, staring at Edwin’s face with a tilt of her head.

Back then, the Genesis Group was about to go public, and preparations had been underway for two years. Eighty percent of Genesis Group’s products were endorsed by Tilda. If Tilda’s cheating turned into a public scandal, the Stanley family would be the ones to suffer losses.

If the company failed to go public, Edwin’s two years of hard work would go down the drain. Sales would plummet plunging Genesis Group into an unprecedented financial crisis, and Edwin would become the laughingstock of the city for being cheated on.

Sharon’s impulsive decision back then was solely because of her love for Edwin.

Edwin locked eyes with her for a few seconds, and Sharon’s heart felt a touch of warmth. So, he knew he benefited from it, she thought.

Afraid that Edwin would be persuaded by Sharon not to fight for Irene’s custody, Tina quickly chimed in. “Enough with the distractions. Where’s

Then, she tugged on Edwin. “Edwin, this woman’s cunning. Don’t be fooled by her

“Right, Edwin.” Jasmine also approached. “No matter what happened before, you’re divorced now, and the child’s custody needs to be settled.”

Edwin’s gaze shifted as jasmine spoke. He said, “Sharon, let’s stick in the point. If you want a share of the profit or whatever, get a lawyer and talk to me. Right now. I want Irene He believed that even if the Stanley family did benefit, it was merely a byproduct of Sharon’s schemes.

Sharon laughed coldly, feeling her heart freezing over once again. Am I expecting any kindness from this heartless family? It’s laughable that I’m even considering one last try for Irene’s sake, just to keep the peace. Edwin’s got it in his head that I’m a gold–digger. If he’s dead set on that idea, why should I bother? she thought.

Gathering her emotions, Sharon looked up again with a blank expression on her face. “Do you really want Trene?”

Edwin, whose patience was already wearing thin, frowned even deeper,

Jasmine let out a cold snort as a silent faunt

Tina pursed her lips. “What a lot of nonsense.

“Don’t rush to answer, look at something first. With that, Sharon made a phone call. You can come over

Within two minutes, a car pulled up, and Alanna stepped out of it,

“What are you trying to do with Alanna here, Sharon!” Tina was on guard seeing Alanna. “You’re not planning on broadcasting this mess online again, are you?”

Sharon

didn’t unter a

• a word, simply ignoring her.

This left Tina fuming, her words becoming sharper. “Let me tell you, even if you broadcast this to the whole work, it wouldn’t matter. Irene is part of the Stanley family, and nobody can change that. I advise you not to play tricks and hand over the child. Maybe Edwin will consider the fact that you gave birth to her and compensate you.”

Alanna laughed coldly. Short–sighted woman, you think the Stanley family is the only one with money? Sharon has more money than she could ever spend, she doesn’t need your meager offerings, she thought.

But Tina continued with even more distasteful comments, “Is 400 thousand dollars enough for you? The boss of Bisney Entertainment has money. but it’s all his. You can’t just keep begging him for more. With those 400 thousand dollars, at least you can maintain some dignity. The Stanley family wouldn’t owe you anything then.

Once Tina stopped, Alanna finally said, “Don’t worry. We don’t plan on bothering you about Sharon and Irene.” She showed a piece of paper to everyone. “This is a power of attorney, and this is the test report my boss asked me to get done. Take a look for yourselves.”

“What test report?” All three of them were taken aback. Edwin looked at Sharon, puzzled.

Tina snatched the report to read first. “DNA match 99.99% A biological parent–child relationship? Subject Irene Cress?”

“Yes, Trene now carries my last name.” Sharon replied calmly.

Onginally, her name was Irene Stanley; it had been changed to Irene Cress not too long ngo,

“So this parentage test is between the boss of Bisney Entertainment and Irene Jasmine finally got it, her voice sharp as if she’d been hit by a homh,

Edwin widened his eyes suddenly, his gaze changing from confusion to anger as he stared at Sharon

Chapter 30

“Yes.” Sharon nodded calmly, ignoring his glare. The parentage test is between the boss of Bisney Entertainment and Irene She’d taken her and Irene’s hair for the test

“So, you made us raise su

us raise someone else’s child for four years?” Jasmine could hardly contain such humiliation, her lips quivering from anger.

“Mrs. Stanley, get it straight. Irene’s been sleeping in your house but never spent a dime of your money, Alanna chimed in. She knew very well that Sharon took care of all Irene’s expenses herself

Sull, this revelation deeply angered the Stanley family.

“Sharon, you bitch. How dare you make Edwin raise someone else’s child? And you had the nerve to say you married into the Stanley family for our sake. Livid, Tina advanced toward Sharon, intending to grab her hair.

Alanna blocked her path with one hand. Ms. Stanley, you’re supposed to be a lady of high society. Where are your munnen?

“You” Tina trembled with rage but had to hold back. After all, Alanna was bold and might just broadcast her making a scene to the nation.

Jasmine approached, her breath uneven and her heart racing with pain. She struggled to retain some composure and looked at Alanna. “Isn’t the boss of Bisney Entertainment going too far?”

“Some things are like this, you know. If you’re gonna pick on someone, you better be ready to face the consequences,” Alanna said meaningfully. “To any case, Irene has nothing to do with the Stanley family anymore, so don’t bother her for no reason” With that, she grabbed Sharon’s hand. “Ler’s

“Okay Sharon followed her to the car.

As they opened the car door, Alanna intentionally looked back at Edwin “Mr. Stanley, rest assured, Bisney Entertainment will all belong to Irene and Sharon one day. Your little money isn’t even enough to fill her purse. It woukl be better spent on Tina for a couple of decent outfits.”

“You bitch! How dare you!” Tina realized Alanna was indirectly mocking her clothes and twisted her face with rage.

Behind them, Jasmine nudged Edwin, ‘Edwin, are we just going to let Sharon off like that? And what about the boss of Disney Entertainment? We’ve done nothing to him: why should he humiliate us?

you, didn’t

Just then, Alanna’s voice sounded again. “Oh night, don’t feel so wronged, When Sharon married into your family, she solved a crisis for yo she? We don’t need Mr. Sunley’s offer of compensation, let’s just call it even. With that, she turned and got into the car.

The car drove away. Through the rearview mirror, Alanna could still see Tina’s fury, Jasmine’s lost composure, and Edwin clenching his fists with a dark expression

Alanna looked at Sharon with concern. “Making this decision means you’ll be definitively cutting ties with the Stanley family. Are you sure you have na regrets?“.
