Dumping My Billionaire Ex

Sharon was startled by his sudden move and instinctively tried to pull away.

His hand pressed tightly against her neck, exerting an overpowering force.

"Mr. Stanley, what do you mean by this?" Sharon could only ask, her voice cold and strained from struggling and anger.

Sparks of fury ignited in her eyes.

This only served to intensify Edwin's discomfort, and the image that flashed through his mind was of her smiling sweetly at Ray.

A dull pain throbbed in his chest.

"What tricks did you use to even seduce my friend?" he asked.

Sharon looked up in confusion.

'Friend? The only friend of his who is close to me is Ray. He thinks I'm seducing Ray? Does he think I'm that despicable?' Sharon thought to herself.

A sharp pain cut through her heart like a knife.

Yet, she laughed, a laugh born of anger.

"What means do I have? If your friend was truly charmed by me, it's probably out of pity for seeing me stay by your side so miserably!" she said.

"Pity?" Edwin sneered. "Your so-called pity is self-inflicted, isn't it?"

It was only after Edwin had spoken that he realized he had lost control and

was speaking without restraint.

Even when he had hated Sharon the most, he had never spoken to her in

such a way.

But once the words were out, they could not be retracted.

Sharon had always known that Edwin hated her, but this was the first time he had been so blunt.

Even though Sharon had decided to cut ties with him, her heart still ached with a sharp, intermittent pain.

Before Sharon could say anything, a figure rushed over.

With great force, she pushed Edwin away.

"You're nothing but a scumbag, Edwin!" the person shouted in anger, her eyes blazing with fury as if she wanted to kill.

"Alanna?" As Sharon laid eyes on the person in front of her, she couldn't help but let

out a cry.Belongs to NôvelDrama.Org - All rights reserved.

Alanna, considering that Sharon would be leaving the next day, had come to see her.

However, as soon as Alanna emerged, she witnessed the scene and overheard Edwin's words.

Alanna, like a rooster with its fighting spirit ignited, glared at Edwin with the sharpest of eyes. "Self-inflicted? You actually have the nerve to say that! If you didn't want to take responsibility, then you should have kept yourself in check and not touched Sharon.

"Let alone the fact that Sharon stood up and said those words back then, which helped the Stanley family immensely. Even if she hadn't helped at all, you have no right to despise and loathe her! You slept with her, and it's your duty to take responsibility. It's only right and proper for her to demand marriage from you!"

Alanna was truly infuriated, her chest heaving with emotion as she fired off one harsh sentence after another, without any concern for who might be listening or the risk of being recognized.

"Alanna, stop it." Sharon approached, tugging at her.

She didn't want to plead for pity after so much had already transpired.

But Alanna wouldn't be deterred.

As she broke free, her eyes turned bloodshot. "And what about Irene? What wrong has she committed? Why does she not even have the right to be born? Why should she bear the punishment that is not hers because of your rage?

"You, such an immature and irresponsible man, probably only someone as innocent as Sharon could ever find appealing. Any other woman would have kicked you to the curb a long time ago!

"Speaking of which, Sharon, it's really not worth it. For a scumbag like you, even..."

"Alanna!"

Sharon, realizing that Alanna was about to reveal her donation of the cornea, raised her voice in a low growl.

Alanna bit her lip and didn't continue, but tears began to roll down her cheeks.

She truly felt it was a waste for Sharon.

"Anyway, I've already severed all ties with Mr. Stanley, and I won't even have the chance to see him in the future. It's better to avoid any further complications," Sharon said, looking at Alanna's tears and understanding that she was doing this for her sake. She could only hint to Alanna to let it go."Let's go."

Sharon led Alanna upstairs and into the room.

Alanna was still feeling aggrieved, tears still streaming down her face.

Sharon let out a gentle sigh and fetched a towel to carefully wipe away Alanna's tears. "You're usually so carefree. Why are you crying over this?"

Alanna clutched her hand. "Sharon, you really don't deserve this. We should have exposed that scoundrel's broken promises and the fact that you donated your cornea for him!"

"There's no need." Sharon shook her head. "I've moved on from that relationship and don't want him to keep coming back into my life because of those past events. It's just annoying!"

Alanna roared, "But I can't let it go!" Alanna was still unable to put these things behind her. "Tilda didn't do anything and even betrayed him, yet he cherishes her like a treasure. He even knew she was the one who tainted the blood and caused you and Irene to suffer, yet he couldn't bring himself to blame her. They're still lovey-dovey, completely devoted to each other.

"You gave so much for him, yet he couldn't even keep his basic promises and just forgot about you without a second thought. I just don't want him to have it easy. I want to cut his heart out and make sure he never has peace for the rest of his life!"

"Letting him go is letting myself go, isn't it? Besides, what he cares about is Tilda. Even if I were to reveal everything from the past, what difference would it make? At most, he could just use money to brush me off, and I don't need his money." Sharon smiled.

Alanna's shoulders sagged, and she let out a sigh.

Sharon gently pressed on her shoulder. "Alanna, for the rest of my life, I just want to live happily and peacefully with Irene. As for the grudges and resentments of the past, they're not important anymore." Alanna looked up at her and saw a clear serenity in her eyes.

Sharon had truly let go.

Without further argument, Alanna nodded. "Alright, let's leave this place and forget about that scumbag!"

After comforting Alanna for a while, Sharon went into Irene's room.

Irene was a restless sleeper and had kicked off her blanket.

Sharon shook her head with a helpless smile, walked over, picked up the blanket, and carefully tucked it back around Irene.

She leaned down and gently caressed her daughter's fair and delicate little face, a deep maternal tenderness curling at the corners of her lips.

Thankfully, she had been strong back then and had endured.

In her sleep, Irene rolled over and clutched Sharon's hand, resembling a little kangaroo.

Sharon was about to smile, but then she heard a soft mumble. "Dad..."

Her smile froze on her face, solidifying.

For a long moment, Sharon slowly lowered her head to look at Irene.

Irene was fast asleep, showing no other reaction. However, her words seemed to be etched into Sharon's chest, impossible to erase.

No matter how optimistic and independent she appeared on the outside, deep down, she still yearned for a father's love.

Sharon's heart suddenly twitched as if it had been cut out, causing her to convulse in pain.

In the car, Edwin, who was driving, seemed to hear a tender call, someone calling out for Dad,
