Chapter 309 Why the hell do you see Sharon in every woman ? Edric , who had been disengaged , playing cards on his phone , shot a glance over and asked . +50 Every time Sharons name came up , Edric visibly cringed . Just like that time Ray spotted a dancer in the ballroom and made the same snarky comment . Already in a foul mood , Edwin couldnt sit still anymore with the ongoing discussion about Sharon . He abruptly stood up and left the booth . ***** After an engaging livestream that lasted over an hour , Sharon and Irene were still riding the high . Irene removed her fox mask , and her eyes sparkled as she looked at Sharon . Mommy , thats the happiest Ive ever seen you smile . Youre so pretty when you smile ! Sharon froze for a moment , a sharp realization piercing her thoughts. Four years into this marriage , and Ive damn near forgotten how to crack a smile . You were amazing , Irene . I had no idea you could dance like that , Sharon complimented , pinching her cheek gently . Blushing , Irene looked down . Ive always loved dancing , but Grandma and Auntie hate it . I didnt want them to scold you , so I stopped … Sharons eyes welled up with tears as the realization struck her hard . After Sharon got married , she and Irene continued to live with her mother in law , Jasmine Stanley , and sister in law , Tina Stanley . Ever since she was just months old , Irene had shown a natural talent for dancing . As a toddler , shed choreograph her own dances . But over time , she danced less and less . Sharon had thought Irene had simply lost interest . Now she understood the real reason was fear of getting chewed out . Overwhelmed with guilt , Sharon hugged Irene tightly . From now on , you can dance whenever you feel like it , and dont worry about anything else . She reassured her . Then , hesitantly , she added , Theres something else , honey . We wont be living with grandma anymore , and Ive separated from your dad . Is that okay with you ? The notion of divorce hadnt been discussed with Irene , leaving Sharon extremely anxious . Does this mean we dont have to stay at Grandmas anymore ? Irene paused briefly , then her face brightened with joy . That would be amazing . You dont want to stay there either ? Sharon asked , taken aback by Irenes enthusiastic response . Irene shook her head firmly . Grandma and Auntie dont like you or me . I dont like them either ! Sharon felt an even deeper guilt . Being the daughter of a humble shoemaker had made her subject to the Stanleys disdain , which they extended to Irene . Irenes existence had been kept a secret for three years , a source of shame to the Stanley family . Sharon pondered regretfully , What if I hadnt made that impulsive decision back then ? What if I had raised my child alone after finding out about the pregnancy ? Would things be different ? Soon after , Alanna told her that the apartment she needed was available . Sharon took Irene to the new apartment , a place she had secured with her earnings from her pre marriage live streaming career . The moment they opened the door , a respectful and enthusiastic voice greeted them . Hello , host ; my name is Eddy , your 1/3 Chapter 309 Chapter 309 Why the hell do you see Sharon in every woman?

The moment they opened the door , a respectful and enthusiastic voice greeted them . Hello , host ; my name is Eddy , your 1/3 13.27 Sun , 13 Apr Chapter 309 68 % ( +50 ) most devoted , smart butler . Just give the word , and Ill be at your service . Sharon burst into laughter . Alanna , have you lost your mind ? I left that house to forget all about them , and here you are setting me up with an Eddy ? With everything you endured there , since we couldnt get your money back , at least lets get some revenge . Ive programmed this smart butler not just with that jerks voice but his moms and sisters , too . Switch them up when you want to give them a piece of your mind ! Alanna declared fiercely , as she knew all too well the pain and humiliation Sharon had suffered these past four years and felt indignantly on her behalf . Sharon gave her a resigned eye roll as they entered the apartment , with Irene happily scampering off to her new pink , lace- filled bedroom filled with dolls . As they settled by the coffee table , scrolling through their phones and sipping coffee , Alanna suddenly asked , With all those villas in your name , why pick this tiny apartment ? After four years in the vast , cold mansion of the Stanley family , Sharon was done with the emptiness . She looked around her modest living space and shrugged . Smaller feels cozier . It doesnt feel so hollow . Besides , I bought this place before I got married . I want to get back to who I was before all that . Moved almost to tears by Sharons determination , Alanna felt a wave of relief wash over her . Thats the spirit . They resumed browsing on their phones . The buzz around Sharon and Rocky Jensen hadnt died down yet , and Alanna couldnt help but let out a chuckle . Everyone seems to think you two would be great together . Honestly , Rocky is leagues better than that scumbag Edwin . Rocky is great , but lets not play matchmaker . I just want to enjoy life with Irene right now . Im not interested in romance , Sharon said , clearly resigned . After the emotional torture she had endured with Edwin , Sharon had given up on love . Damn it ! Amid their conversation , Alanna suddenly slammed her hand on the coffee table , making the cups rattle . That Edwin is the ultimate lowlife ! His divorce papers are still warm , and he is already planning to get engaged to Tilda Gill ! Sharon looked over and saw Tildas Twitter page on Alannas phone . It showed a photo of her beaming and holding hands with someone . Although the mans face was obscured , a distinct red mole on his middle finger made it clear it was indeed Edwin . The caption boldly declared , Spring has sprung , perfect for getting engaged . Sharon glanced at the screen , offering a faint , dismissive smile . To me , theyre just strangers now . Whether theyre getting engaged or married , its none of my business . With that , she turned away , refusing to look again . Still , it pisses me off ! Alanna slammed her hand down on the table , her voice seething with anger . If it werent for you speaking up back then , Edwin wouldve faced utter humiliation, and the Stanley Group mightve tanked ! She continued , Hes not only ungrateful but also totally ignores you . And flaunting his thing with Tilda so publicly , whats that about ? Its like he is saying everything you did for him was a waste, and you deserved all the pain . In his eyes , thats exactly it . Sharon sighed , having long resigned herself to that harsh reality . That fucking asshole ! Alanna grabbed a coffee stirrer and furiously scratched at the table , pretending it was Edwin . We might have lost in love , but we wont lose in life . If he thinks he can just stomp all over you , were going to stir up some trouble to make him pay . Im deploying Randall this time ; his unmatched noble charm will totally crush Edwin ! She clapped her hands decisively and grabbed her phone . Cut it out , will you ? Sharon pleaded , worn out by Alanas schemes . Youve already set me up with two guys this month ; people are going to start thinking Im a serial dater . Plus , Randall is different from Rocky so untainted and upright . I just couldnt bear to drag him into this . All right . All right . Alanna looked at her with a mix of frustration and affection . Knowing she couldnt sway Sharon , she 2/3 13:27 Sun , 13 Apr OM . Chapter 309 reluctantly dropped the subject with a sigh . X368 % Although she hadnt planned on involving Randall , upon hearing he had returned to town , Sharon decided to take Irene to visit him .
