Dumping My Billionaire Ex

"No need," she coolly declined, avoiding the check. "Let's consider everything in the past as my fault. You've also wasted a few years because of me. Consider the money as already accepted and then returned to you as compensation for the trouble I caused you. From now on, we're even." With that. Sharon tilted her head and laughed,

Edwin was taken aback by her reaction. In his mind, Sharon had climbed the ranks by latching onto the Stanley family's wealth. But now, she was Turning down the money he offered.

However, his surprise was quickly replaced by disdain when he thought about their past. His face darkened. "Think this through if you're just putting on an act now. This is the last bit of kindness I'm showing you. Don't think for a second I'll be this generous again, no matter how much you beg

Hearing him suggest she was pretending chilled Sharon to the bone. "Mr. Stanley, you can rest assured. I'll thrive on my own post-divorce. I doubt I'll have the time to bother you, she replied with a mocking smile. Then she hailed a cab and hopped in. As the car drove away, her stern expression slowly faded, leaving a helpless smile.

During her four years with the Stanley family, she had always been sensible and fair. She couldn't understand why Edwin thought she was always pretendingContent is © by NôvelDrama.Org.

Alanna quickly found out about Edwin offering Sharon money and cursed him out for it. That jerk Edwin thinks he's the only one with money the world, huh? You have to attend Bisley Entertainment's charity auction this time and show him what you're made of."

Alanna always moved quickly. In less than a minute, she informed the planning department about Sharon making an appearance, sorted out her outfit and accessories, and even arranged a date for her. "Your date is going as your boyfriend. Trust me, the guy I picked will definitely make Edwin jealous."

At the entrance to the auction. Sharon's head buzzed when she saw the "boyfriend Alanna had prepared for her it was Randell. "Randall's fans will kill me if they find out I'm his girlfriend,' she thought. Dressed in a white shirt and a navy blue suit jacket, Randall looked even more handsome, as if he were some noble prince. He approached shyly and handed Sharon a bouquet Hi. Sharon." "Hi, Randall,” Sharon said awkwardly. She wanted to change her "boyfriend" there and then, but it was too late.

Across from them, Edwin and Tilda came over, surrounded by reporters.

Catching sight of Sharon and Randall, Tilda deliberately stopped. "Mr Silva, aren't you going to introduce us? The last time I saw you two at the ice rink, you seemed very in sync."

What happened at the rink was supposed to be a secret, but Tilda's mention was like broadcasting it to the world.

Probably following Alanna's lead, Randall said with his trademark shy smile. This is my girlfriend.

"Girlfriend?" Tilda looked genuinely surprised. "How can that be? Just the other day, I saw you. Her voice trailed off as she glanced back and forth between Sharon and Randall. The implication was clear-with Sharon being a mother, it seemed unlikely she'd be daring Randall-

But Randall remained unfazed. "Yes, it's exactly as you saw. Without another word, he nodded to Tilda and looked warmly at Sharon. "Shall we go

"Sure." Sharon smiled and nodded in agreement

Though Randall was just a figure skater, he was quite famous. His striking looks and legendary performances over the past couple of years earned him fans worldwide.

The reporters had originally come for Tilda, but Randall dropping such big news immediately drew them to the new couple.

"Mr. Silva, can you share how the two of you met?"

"You two look great together. Any plans for marriage soon?"

"Mr. Silva, you're only twenty-three-Aren't you worried about how your fans might react to your public romance?"

"Mr. Silva..

in ordinary girl. Let's not frighten her," Randall gently reminded the reporters as he protectively kept Sharon close his side.

"She's just an or

Sharon played along, bowing her head to feign timidity, trying her best to hide her face in his arms. Inadvertently, she caught a glimpse of Edwin not too far away. Edwin was looking at her, his indifference replaced by a mocking smile. 'Her claim of thriving without me seems to be just finding another man to Latch onto, he thought.

10:58 AM

Despite her resolve to ignore him, Sharon still felt a sharp pain in her hear

Ferhaps because of Randall's impeccable reputation, the reporters didn't hold them back for long. After they entered the venue, Sharon breathed a sigh of relief

"I'm sorry, Randall. I had no idea Alanna would set this up. But don't worry. I'll get her to clear everything up as soon as we get back. Sharon said bluntly as the reporters couldn't enter the auction. She felt incredibly guilty for involving the innocent Randall

"It's okay" Randall smiled gently. "I'm happy to pretend to be your boyfriend, although I know I'm not worthy"

"Oh, don't say that, please," Sharon quickly said.

He's too kind. It's my mess, and yet, he's convinced he's the one unworthy. He always doesn't want to hurt anyone. Sharon thought and failed to notice the sincerity and wistfulness in Randall's eyes when he said those words.

But Edwin did notice. Following them a few steps behind and staying out of Sharon's sight, he heard their entire conversation.

He couldn't believe that Sharon didn't seduce Randall and that it was Randall who liked her. He thought Randall had poor judgment in women. But just then, something in him felt obstructed, heavy, and uncomfortable. The tender look in Randall's eyes when he gazed at Sharon kept replaying in his mind....

Besides being a figure skating champion, Randall was also Bisney Entertainment's most popular male influencer. His presence at the auction was seen as representation for Hisney Entertainment, and no one probed into Sharon's identity.

Although Sharon had appeared in the trending searches once, her photo was all blurry, and she had rarely been seen in public after marriage, so hardly anyone recognized her.

And whether Alanna had done it deliberately or not, only Randall's name was on their seating card.

Randall had just sat down when someone called him away, and Sharon began to study the auction items.

"How desperate are you to seduce a rich man that you won't even spare an auction!" A mocking voice suddenly rang in her car.
