Dumping My Billionaire Ex

Panny suddenly seemed to realize her mistake and slightly slapped her face. "Oh dear, look at what nonsense I've been spouting. Don't take it seriously."

"Here, have some drinks" Karna quickly grabbed some drinks from a waiter and handed them to Sharon and Panny

"Thank you." Sharon took one but only pretended to sip from it. It was obvious to her that Karma and Panny were playing a double act to make her uncomfortable. They had no idea that her relationship with Ray was just a facade, Sharon couldn't care less about Ray's past relationships.This content belongs to Nô/velDra/ma.Org .

Karma and Panny kept drinking and waiting for Sharon to respond, but when she remained silent, they grew puzzled. After finishing their drinks, they exchanged a glance and found an excuse to leave. Finally, some peace and quiet! Sharon cheered inwardly and rubbed her earlobe, feeling a bit sympathetic for Ray Growing up in such an environment, anyone else might have turned out mad, she thought. Upstairs, Edwin stood aloof, his gaze cold and distant. An invisible barrier of cold seemed to form around him, making people instinctively avoid him. His eyes were fixed on the floor below, or more precisely, on the figure in white attire below. From the dance floor co when Sharon was left alone, he hadn't missed a single moment.

Edwin had come upstairs as soon as Sharon began dancing with Ray. It wasn't that he didn't want to watch; he was afraid he couldn't control himself and would rush to separate them. Normally, he was a man of strong self-control, never doing anything he knew he shouldn't. But just now, he had

almost lost control

Edwin wasn't the type to care about others opinions. In business, his methods were ruthless, never sparing a thought for others. Even if he caused a scene at Conor's party, he wouldn't care. But that would embarrass Sharon, and he didn't want to

Holding his glass steadily, Edwin's face remained cold, showing no other emotion. No one noticed the dark liquid dripping from his palm onto the floor. The glass in his hand had shattered, its sharp edges cutting into his flesh. But one person did notice.

Christine had been observing Edwin since downstairs. She saw how he kept looking at Foxy Damon, even while she danced with Ray. He's been so indifferent to me, yet so attentive to that woman, Christine wondered, feeling a mix of emotions, uneasy like countless ants crawling over her skin.

"People always said he only had eyes for Tilda. She had just passed away, and he already moved on? Christine thought. She had deliberately avoided acting about Edwin's love life for years. It was only recently she heard about Tikla's death and his divorce. She returned full of hope, only

to find this

When Edwin went upstairs, Christine's heart finally relaxed a bit. She comforted herself inwardly. Maybe he isn't interested in that woman, just puzzled like I am about Ray bringing her to such an event" Thinking of this, she saw a glimmer of hope and followed Edwin upstairs.

Even though Edwin's earlier words were harsh, Christine wasn't planning to give up. Edwin's devotion was well-known; he once pampered Tilda unconditionally, and Christine thought if he developed feelings for her, he would treat her just as well. Out of all the wealthy young heirs, she only had eyes for Edwin

Following Edwin upstairs, Christine finally realized how wrong she was. He wasn't avoiding looking at Foxy Damon, he had chosen a vantage point where he could see her every move. From the shadows, Christine saw the blood dripping from his hand, and her eyes turned red with anger. She Hamped her foot and ran downstairs.

Downstairs, Sharon stood for a moment, then decided to find a quiet place to pass the time. But before she could take a step, someone blocked her

"Foxy Damon," a woman called out. Her expression was cold, hostility evident.

Sharon looked at the woman standing opposite her. It was Christine. Behind her mask, Sharon's eyes narrowed slightly. Just moments ago, she was polite, but now she's openly hostile. What changed? she wondered. "Miss Cildon," Sharon responded calmly and politely.

Christine stepped closer, her eyes fixed on Sharon's musk, scrutinizing her. "You've been here for a while and met the family. Why don't you dare show your trur face? Curistine emphasized "dare, then she continued, "Is it because you're too ugly to be seen?"

Sharon had expected sonar sulalety from someone with Christine's upbringing from her prestige family but was surprised by her bluntness. Chrutine's demand for an answer was clear.

Sharon, although unsure of the source of Christine's hostility, was not one to be easily bullied. She smiled faintly behind her mask. "Isn't this a masquerade ball"" The casual remark left Christine momentarily speechless.

But Christine wasn't ready to concede. She drew herself up, rauding the air of a top socialite, and slowed her speech. "I've watched your live streams. Singing, dancing, and bring a crowd-pleaser might work online, but being a part of the Gildon family requires more than just flashy tricks. The you have any real talents that can stand the test of time?"

Christine was the last unmarried daughter of the Galdon family, while Foxy Damon was a sensation with a hundred million followers. Their interaction had already caught the attention of many onlookers. At this moment, quite a few people seemed casually drifting closer, seemingly curious about their relationship and taking a peek into the internal affairs of the Gildon family.

10:23 AM

Hearing Christine speak so rudely, the crowd couldn't help but gasp. So what if she has a hundred million fans? With her background, she's still looked down upon, some mocked inwardly while some took pleasure in it, thinking. If Foxy Damon isn't accepted by the Gildon family, maybe our daughter will have a chance.

"Don't get too excited. Even if Miss Gildon isn't pleased, Mr. Gildon has tacitly approved." Some couldn't help but pour cold water on the hopeful ones, leaving them feeling chilled.

However, even if there was no hope, watching the Gildon family's daughter clash with her future sister-in-law was entertaining, a live version of palace intrigue that couldn't be missed.

Sharon's gaze lightly drifted over the busybodies, understanding their intentions, she sarcastically curled her lips. What does it matter if it's high society! Gossip here is no different from gossip on the street corner, she silently pondered for a moment before looking at Christine. Sharon observed Christine's elegant facade while noticing her nails started picking due to Sharon's delayed response, clearly miffed at being disregarded

Sharon didn't speak but hinted to Christine that someone was watching the show. Anyone with a bit of wit should leave now. Clearly, Christine's brain wasn't quick enough.

Seeing Christine insist on an answer, Sharon's crimson lips curled up in a smile graciously behind her mask. "Miss Gildon, do you think singing, dancing or humor are simply flashy tricks that are not suitable for formal settings? If I'm not wrong, professional singers, actors, and such are all in this line of work. Are you suggesting their performances aren't suitable either?"

Christine was dumbfounded and embarrassed unexpectedly by such a sharp retort. They're not the same! It took her a while to finally squeeze out a response.

Sharon quietly looked at her, knowing Christine was struggling to maintain her socialite image, and shook her head helplessly. I've been honing my arguing skills with online trolls for years. A couple of remarks won't throw me off. Your brain just isn't up to it, probably not even comparable to Tina, Sharon mocked inwardly, and pushed further. "What's different? Is it their singing or jokes compared to mine?"

Christine couldn't spill a word. Initially, she meant that Sharon's acts weren't suitable for highbrow audiences, but now Sharon had successfully diverted the topic. This was, after all, the Gildon family's setting, and Sharon didn't want to make things ugly. She raised her chin proudly and turned to leave.

"Wait!" Christine, accustomed to pride, couldn't accept losing so easily and hastily grabbed Sharon. Sharon initially intended to brush her off but unexpectedly caught sight of Edwin out of the corner of her eye
