When Sharon came to her senses, she was unexpectedly puzzled and asked, "Have they announced their relationship?? Maisie all ale
all along, she seemed to use him without ever responding to his feelingsProperty © of NôvelDrama.Org.
Despite Finlay's obvious affection for
She wondered, What does this mean?
"Maisie, are you happy?" Finlay asked warmly.
"Mm" Maisle responded, her voice trembling badly.
"Look, Maisie is so excited!" Phoebe and others misunderstood her and began applauding and cheering once again
Many churchgoers knew about the show "Who Is Your Crush, and upon hearing that celebrities had made an announcement, they all raised their phones to take pictures.
Ariella frowned slowly and said, "Finlay is unpredictable and has a lot of unknowns behind him. His agency has long wanted to drop him, and now they're trying hard to cover for him, Tearing it will affect this program. Originally, they planned to cut ties after the show. Maisie announcing her relationship with him now-isn't she risking her career?"
Over the years, Ariella had amassed resources and knew many behind-the-scenes players, so she had heard about this long ago.
Sharon, who was also puzzled, speculated, "Could she not know?"
Ariella sneered, "Maisie has dealt with many powerful people over the years. She definitely knows. Looks like she's gotten herself into trouble. Maybe some big shor's wife found out about her affairs and wants to punish her. You can't push someone too far or take advantage of them forever." Ariella's words hinted at more than she said.
However, Sharon couldn't be bothered to delve deeper.
Initially, she had wantd Maisie to suffer the consequences of her actions. But now, someone else had done the job for her, saving her the trouble. Ariella whispered, "Finlay's situation is serious. Maisie's best bet now is to exit the industry quietly. She'll likely pay a hefty price that could nullify her earnings over the years."
Realizing something. Ariella suddenly looked at Sharon and asked, "Hmm, you really don't have a clue!"
For a moment, she had suspected Sharon might be involved.
Sharon shook her head in confusion.
She had promised not to interfere with Maisie now, and she intended to keep that promise.
"Then who else could it be?" Ariella asked, curious.
On the other hand, Sharon wasn't that curious
was no big deal to her
Maisie leaving the industry a bit carlier was no big
Randall, dressed in white and exuding elegance, stood across from her.
His usually princely face now showed a rare hint of concern as his brows furrowed slightly.
He had overheard their conversation
Sharon didn't know who targeted Maisie, but he did.
Randall glanced at Edwin.
Edwin's
serene eyes displayed no worry. He stood at a distance that was neither close nor distant, as if disengaged from the situation
As always, it seemed this crucl affair didn't concern him.
His urbanity was unfathomable.
Randall's
's worry deepened as he looked back at Sharon.

"We haven't prayed to Saint Valentine yet. Come with me. Sharon suggested,
Sharon was discussing sneaking off to the food street with Ariella when suddenly, someone gripped her wrist firmly, making her pause. Ariella looked surprised.
Sharon turned to see Edwin holding her wrist.
He looked down at her, his expression matter-of-fact
Despite Ariella's surprise, Edwin acted as if he hadn't noticed.
Edwin didn't give her a chance to refuse, leading her confidently through the crowd.
Sharon tensed at the situation.
"Oh my, it's Foxy Damon and Mr. Stanley A viewer exclaimed excitedly as they watched their interaction.
Others began snapping photos with their phones.
Sharon was at a loss for words.
She could already imagine tomorrow's headline featuring her and Edwin holding hands, but she had no idea how it would be spun. She didn't want this!
Unfortunately, Edwin didn't give her a chance to resist as he guided her straight to the room at the back where Saint Valentine was worshipped.
In the vast church hall, Saint Valentine stood tall on a throne, smiling exaggeratedly cutely
Sharon couldn't muster a smile at all and said, "Are you out of your mind?"
As soon as he let go, she rubbed her wrist where he had gripped it, stepping back several paces and staring at him as if he were a monster. Edwin
knelt devoutly before the statue of Saint Valentine
Sharon stood there in a daze, silently observing Edwin's every move.
He prayed earnestly, clasping his hands together and then spreading them apart, pressing against his sides as he knelt on the ground, his torso almost touching the ground
In her memory, he had always been an atheist, mentioning that religion was beneath him, let alone worshiping
She thought, "Edwin always believed only in himself.
"But now, what is this?
What is he doing?
Worshipping Saint Valentinet
With so many people adoring him, why bother with Saint Valentine?
Sharon felt that this man in front of her was becoming increasingly unfathomable,
Watching Edwin rise after bowing three times with great respect, Sharon stared at him intently without blinking, her serious expression suddenly softening as if by magic.
His lips curved into a sanile.
She pondered, Te... is smiling again?
Watching Edwin smile sent a chill down Sharon's spine, a creepy sensation rising within her.
"What exactly do you want?" she asked, her voice uncharacteristically strained.
Edwin's gaze fell gemily and firmly on her and asked, "Ten years ago, in Pinevalle, weren't you the one who was always by my side!"
Sharon remained silent.

Her face turned pale when she heard those words, but thankfully, it was hidden behind her mask.

She asked, "What's wrong" She feigned composure, unsure why he was bringing this up again.
He probed, "Why did you never tell me"
"Why"
This question turned her slight discomfort into endless mockery deep inside, her lips curling into a bitter self-deprecation
She had endured so much hardship and risked her life to be by his side.
Yet he had someone else by his side.
How could she tell him?
"Are you questioning me now?" It took a while before she coldly countered.
Her face under the mask was as cold as ice, and, her fingertips were freezing enough to gather frost
What right did he have to ask such a question?
"No. I just want to know the truth." Despite hearing the sarcasm in her words, he responded earnestly.
Sharon smiled again.
Edwin was really something. She had finally moved on from her feelings for him, but now he was dredging up the past,
Did he know these old accounts were deeply painful to her
She stated, "You were so devoted to Tilda. What did that mean if I brought up the fact that I saved you? Was it a plea for your love? Or a demand for you to repay my favor with love!"
Despite her efforts to suppress it, her emotions showed through.
She wasn't a saint, and she couldn't be indifferent to the past.
She added, "Besides, why should I speak up? You forgot about me; the fault lies with you. Why
hy should I plead for you
"you to remember met
Edwin's question was like opening a floodgate, and Sharon erupted with all the pent-up emotions and grievances in her heart.
She continued, "Since you forgot so easily back then, please continue pretending not to remember now, Mr. Stanley Let's go our separate ways and live our own lives." After Sharon finished, she didn't linger but turned and walked away
If she stayed, she feared the walls she had painstakingly built would come crashing down, turning her back into a resentful woman.

Sharon returned all the way to the meeting point.
Edwin didn't follow behind her.
Only then did her rightly wounded heart finally relax.
Several people were already waiting at the gathering point.
They looked at her with ambiguous eyes and speculated, but no one asked directly.
Pretending not to see their looks, Sharon lowered her head and played with her phone.
"Do you know what Mr. Stanley did?" A voice suddenly broke through, entering her ears.
