“We heard that M. Gill’s dress was personally overseen by Mrs. Stanley, designed by a famous designer. Does this mean there won’t be any conflicts

between them in the future!

Edwin’s previously impassive face grew cold and tense at the reporters intrusion, his expression hardening noticeably.

He shot a fierce glare back at Tika who approached him with graceful steps, seemingly ignoring his glare

She smiled elegantly and linked her arm with his, Traning in close

“You promised to protect me for Talia’s sake, to give me the respect I deserve” she whispered softly, so only he could hear. Your cooperation now is The respect I need”

A gline of defuner flashed in her eyes as she finished

Edwin’s face remained rigul, his expression far from natural

Although the observers noticed this, they assumed his stern demeanor was simply his norm and thought little of it

Despite his displeasure. Tiklicould sense a Linge. His arm, which had been resistant, seemed to soften under her touch.

Clearly, her words laid an effect.

Feeling triumphant, Tilda’s confidence soared

I knew that despite his reluctance, Edwin wouldn’t embarrass me in public, the wondered.

His deep sense of loyalty had become his vulnerability, a tool she could exploit

her own unge.

During this time, Tilda had endured countless speculations and doubts, but finally, she could hold her head high.

She lifted her chin and clongated her swan–like neck, basking in her newfound superiority

Just then. Edwin’s phone buzzed.

He silently withdrew his arm from her grasp and took out his phone.

Sharon’s name flashed on the screen.

Sering the name, Tilda felt a pang of anxiety but quickly masked it with a smile.

Sharon had always liked to oppose her, but today Tilda intended to teach her a lesson.

Since Sharon chose to call at

all at this moment, Tilda would show her just how happy she was

Frigning a considerate demeanor, she spoke up. “Edwin, you should answer it. Don’t let our engagement interfere with important matters”

Some nearby people, familiar with Sharon as Edwin’s ex–wife from past incidents, noticed the name on his phone

Their expressions shifted subtly. Hearing Tilda’s words, they nodded thoughtfully, impressed by her apparent magnanimity.

Chapter 190

Tilda’s words also portrayed her as gracious and painted her and Edwin’s relationship as solid, unaffected by his ex–wife’s call

This was precisely what Tilda aired for

Feeling triumphant, she believed herself to be incredibly clever, effortlessly manipulating everyone

Outwardly, she maintained a sweet and blissful demeanor, perfectly embodying the image of a cherished and beloved woman.

Reporters, moved by the display, chimed in with compliments. “You two are so in love. You’re making us all feel envious”

Tilda laughed, her eyes sparkling with delight. “You will all replace happiness like mine.”

As her words trailed off, Edwin’s voice came through as he answered the call. “Hello?”

“Daddy!” came Irene’s tearful voice from the other end. “Please come quickly and save Mommy and Grandpa.”

“What happened?” Edwin’s face suddenly grew serious.

Irene’s sobs intensified. “We were at the supermarket, and the shelves collapsed. Mommy pushed me out of the way and shielded Grandpa. I can’t replace them now..

For some reaso

some reason. Edwin’s phone was on speaker, and everyone around could hear the distressing conversation.

Tilda, who had been reveling in the moment, felt her face freeze, a stark contrast to her earlier delight

Tilda’s face switched involuntarily, almost getting stuck in an awkward grimace:

Her lingers dug into her palm out of frustration

“Sharon must have done this on purpose, staging an accident past as I am about to get engaged Anger summered within her as Tilda wondered, but she maintained a facade of concern.

“How could this happen?” Tilda exclaimed, feigning worry Though there will be reur ira Too. We can’t let Ms. Cress and her father suffer.

Before she could finish her sentence. Edwin bolted out the door, yelling into the phone. “Which supermarket

Tilda stood there, wunned

She had expected Ewan to merely send someone to handle the situation, hence her earlier statement to appear proactive and create the illusion that Edwan listened to her

But now, seeing him rush off personally without even saying goodbye, was a clear sign to everyone that Sharon was still his

priority.

I felt like a slap in the face.

The pride and showiness she had felt moments ago turned into sheer humilution.

She glanced around.

The reporters who had been showering her with praise were now silently observing her, their earlier admiration replaced by a knowing look of understanding.

Tilda, now facing the consequences of her actions, wished she could disappear into a hole.

She had invited these reporters to pressure Edwin, but instead, she had set herself up for embarrassment,

nable to bear it any longer, she lifted her gown and ran out.

Edwin, meanwhile, had reached the garage and was about to drive off when another car skidded to a halt in front of him, nearly causing a collision

Tilda jumped out, her eyes red from frustration, and pounded on his window

Edwin lowered the window, his face dark with anger. What are you doing?”

“It’s not about what I’m doing. It’s about you! Edwin, where are you going? Are you planning to leave me to replace Sharon? Have you considered that Sharon might not be in any real danger, and she’s just trying to sabotage our engagement?“

Images of Sharon flashed through Edwin’s mind.

some reason, Edwin couldn’t believe she would stoop to such tactics.

“Move” he ordered

Tilda saw the approaching reporters in the distance and refused to budge. Her hands gripped the window frame, her eyes filled with tears. “Don’t forget! Talia donated her comes to you! I’m her only sister. You can’t treat me like this. You can’t betray her

Her lips pressed tightly together, eyes glistening with tears, and she played the pinful card to perfection.

But inside, Tilda felt confident

“As long as “Talia’s sacrifice looms over him, Edwin will never escape my grasp, she wondered.

She stayed put, forcing Edwin to get out of the car.

On the other side, the reporters were getting closer
