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 find 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 find 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

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 find Sharon? Have you considered that Sharon might not be in any real danger, and she's just trying to sabotage our engagement?"

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.
