"You're divorced. Why even both
even bother with her?" Alanna expressed her displeasure upon learning that Jasmine wanted to meet with Sharon. Sharon stared at her phone for a moment. "Jaumine hardly ever speaks to me. If she's calling personally, it must be something important. I should go see what it is"
Despite her reluctance. Alanna still drove Sharon to the appointed meeting place.
When Sharon arrived, Jasmine was already there, seated with poise. She took a sip of her coffee and then coldly said without looking up, "Have a seat" Her indifferent face alone made Sharon feel inferior as if she were less than nothing in Jasmine's presence.
But Sharon, no longer as compliant as before, I maintained a distance and said plainly. "Mrs. Stanley, please, just say what you need to."
Jasmine frowned, clearly disliking Sharon's lack of manners, but she didn't scold Sharon. Instead, she gestured to the person beside her. "Marvin The lawyer, Marvin Ruell, stepped forward, "Ms. Cress, since you and Mr. Stanley are divorced, it's time to decide the child's custody"
"The child? Of course, I'll be the one to take care of my daughter, Sharon responded without hesitation
"But she is also my granddaughter, Jasmine coldly reminded, her eyes filled with scorn for Sharon's ignorance.Text © owned by NôvelDrama.Org.
Sharon sneered and said, "Mrs. Stanley, you finally remember you have a granddaughter. I
How rare
Siner Trene was born, Jasmine hadn't shown a shred of affection, treating the child as indifferently as she treated Sharon.
Sharon's words struck a nerve, Jasmine's fare twisted with anger, but she quickly adopted an air of superiority as if she wouldn't stoop to argue Trene is a Stanley and must stay with us."
"But she's closest to me, Sharon retorted, "You could ask Irene and see if she prefers to stay with me or you
"What a child of three says doesn't count," Jasmine retorted.
"Ms. Cress, considering the hardship you endured during pregnancy and birth. Mrs. Stanley is willing to compensate you with a certain amount. You'd do well to take the offer; otherwise, if this goes to court, you wouldn't stand a chance with your current financial situation, Marvin threatened, placing a check on the table.
Seeing the amount written on it, Sharon couldn't help but laugh. They thought 200 thousand dollars was enough to compensate her for bearing a child for the Stanley family. Clearly, Jasmine was here not just to discuss custody but also to humiliate her with the 200 thousand dollars
"Who says Sharon doesn't have the financial means?" Alanna had been watching from nearby, fearing Sharon would be at a disadvantage. She couldn't hold back any longer and stepped in. With a lift of her chin, she waved her phone and said. "Bisney Entertainment just dropped 40 million dollars to establish a growth fund for Irene. Every expense of hers will come out of this. I think 40 million dollars should be enough to raise her till she's eighteen, right?"
"Um..." Marvin's eyes widened with shock.
Jasmine's previously indifferent façade shattered, her eyes bulging in surprise.
"Now that Sharon has adequate financial resources to support Irene, coupled with her being the primary caregiver and Irene's dependence on her, Mr. Lawyer, do you still think Sharon doesn't stand a chance?" said Alanna. In this situation, Sharon was clearly poised to win.
Marvin looked helpless as he glanced at Jasmine and shook his head.
Sharon and Alanna left side by side, having no interest in staying any longer to argue with Jasmine.
I cant believe Bisney Entertainment is willing to invest 40 million dollars to stand up for Sharon," Jasmine was still fuming after returning home. She had Marvin check the matter, and to her dismay, it was true. Her usual grace faltered, and her expression soured.
Theard Alanna is just an employee; there's someone else who owns Bisney Entertainment. Did Sharon hook up with the boss of Bisney Entertainment? Tina dilined in indignantly.
"Such a large sum surely meant the boss was involved Thinking about this, she stamped her foot in annoyance and added, "How could Sharan be so lucky that she's suddenly getting all this attention from men after her divorce?"
The buzz about Randall spending 20 million dollars on a crown for her hasn't even cooled off, and now here comes the bug shot from Bisney Entertainment dropping 10 million dollars for her daughter. It's like they're trying to one-up each other, Tina thought, her jealousy showing this keeps up, Sharon's gonna steal my dunder. I'm the daughter of the Stanley family, how can I stand by while someone I can't stand outdoes
Tina was beside herself with irritation and hastily rang up her confidante, Clara. "You have to help me. Clara. Think of a way to get rid of that shameless Sharon, she said after briefing Clara on everything
"You're saying she's involved with the boss of Bisney Entertainment?" Clara's voice revealed a hint of delight. Now that's interesting. As far as 1 know, the boss of Bisney Entertainment has been married for four years. She seems to be the mistress, huh?"
"He's married?" The news dispelled Tina's frustration, and her mind raced with a new idea. "Clara, do me a favor....
