Dumping My Billionaire Ex

"Aren't you

t you treating

me to a drink to welcome me back? What's with the fighting?"

The man who spoke was Ben Schrader,

He was a bit older than Edric and Edwin and was also a stable person.

His style was similar to Edwin's but not as cold.

Ben was the only one in the group who had left the family and the country at an early age to work abroad.

It was said that he had achieved good results.

Edric angrily withdrew his fist, grunted, and shook off Ben's hand, striding into the bar.

Sharon curled her lips disdainfully.

Edric should thank Ben, or her

or her fist would de

definitely land on his face.

Even though she was a woman, she was more than capable of dealing with rich pe

"Sharon." Ben greeted her politely instead of going after Edric

people like Edric, who were nothing but mouth-breathers.

Sharon had only met Ben once or twice at the Stanley family gatherings, even though she knew he and Edwin were good friends.

Each time, he stayed for no more than five minutes and seemed very busy.

Therefore, she had never communicated with Ben and had never been bullied by him.

Naturally, she knew much less about Ben than the others

"Mr. Schrader," Sharon responded

Ben had taken the initiative to greet her, and she couldn't afford to ignore it, so she nodded politely. "Can we talk" Ben asked.

Sharon was surprised that he wanted to talk to her. Her eyes narrowed slightly, and she looked at Ben in confusion. The others, hearing that Ben wanted to talk to Sharon, had the sense to voluntarily make room and step into the bar.

Ben

n spread his hands toward her and said, "It's rather noisy in here. Can we go outside and talk!"

Though she didn't know what Ben wanted to discuss, Sharon walked outside with him.

Ben stopped under a tree with a bench underneath.

He took out his handkerchief and wiped the bench with a sharp motion before gesturing toward her, saying, "Have a sit Sharon stood unmoving.

She wasn't used to the excessive politeness of Edwin's sidekick friends.

"14r. Schrader, just say what you have to say," she said.

Ben umuled and nodded, saying. Tve heard the most about you since I've been back. Everyone says you've changed, quite a lot indeed." cas you are now, nor as confident, Ben saul,

"Even though I've only met you twice and briefly, you were obviously not as sharp and spunky then as you a giving Sharon a thumbs up. Sharon was surprised that Hen would notior her back then, but she only smiled gently.

"Theard that Edwin has changed too Hen suddenly changed the topic. He used to be cold and never showed weakness to anyone. But recently, he did a lot of shameless things to chase after you? Chapter 349NôvelDrama.Org owns © this.

As Ben spoke, he smoothed his hair, styled with wax, and looked at Sharon with a meaningful gaze. "Frankly, hearing all those descriptions of him. can't believe this is the Edwin I grew up with. Even during Genesis Group's most difficult times, he never humbled himself to anyone, not even to Tilda back then. Sharon, I can see that he's got his heart set on you,"

"So, Mr. Schrader, you think it's only right that 1 should accept him as long as he has his heart set on me?" Sharon stayed calm, recognizing Ben's intentions. "Mr. Schrader, don't you think that makes me like a dog? Waiting obediently for my master to notice me, and then running up as soon as he gives a hint that he wants me!".

That, to put it plainly, meant that she should live as he pleased like a pet with no self-esteem!

She had done this in the past, but unfortunately, even as a loyal dog. Edwin never gave her much attention

Now, looking back on her humble life in the past, Sharon felt herself pathetically stupid

Ben was stunned for a moment by her blunt words, but he still said, "Edwin is persistent, and as long as he has his heart set on you, he will always be good to you. And with you having a child, it's obviously for the best."

Sharon looked at Ben wordlessly, a sneer crossing her lips.

Even an elite man like him couldn't break free from the shackles of societal expectations, huh"

"Mr. Schrader, you seldom stay in the country, which is why you forget that marriage here is not only about the couple but also closely linked to both families. When I got divorced, it was not only because I was completely disappointed in Mr. Stanley but also because my child was living in constant hostility from his family. Mr. Schrader, you think I should reconcile with Mr. Stanley for the sake of my child, but I believe it's because of my child that I should never return to that family."

Ben was originally trying to persuade Sharon with good intentions, but in the end, he was silenced by her words, not knowing how to respond.

Sharon slightly pursed her lips into a bland smile. "If you're willing. Mr. Schrader, I also hope that you can do me a favor. Persuade Mr. Stanley to give up his useless obsessions and let me and Irene go. With that said, she gave a polite and distant nod and retreated.

Behind her. Ben watched Sharon's departure and touched his chin with his long fingers.

He had to admit that he seemed to be persuaded by her at this moment

It seemed that Edwin's road to winning his ex-wife back would be bumpy and rugged.

Although Ben intended to help Edwin by saying good things, his efforts failed. However, he wasn't the least bit sad for Edwin. Instead, he decided to give him a call to properly frustrate his sharpness. Ben was curious to see if Edwin, who had been more tolerant of frustration since childhood, could be affected by his words.

At Stanley Manor, Jasmine walked around the house apprehensively.

She had been waiting for the outcome of Christine's meeting with Edwin.

Christine had volunteered that she liked Edwin and wanted to go on a blind date with him.

This was nothing but great news for Jasmine.

The Galdon family was famous and powerful despite the serious family rivalry.

Conor had always been fond of her son Edwin, and if Christine married him, Conor would definitely tih his resources towards her family,

This would be a top-notch, powerful alliance.

With such a union, the resources of the entire Rosaria City would return to the Stanley family, and with Edwin's abilities, he could become not only the boss of Rosaria City but also a major figure in the country.

Jasmine loved to read about foreign politics and was most interested in those first ladies.

The Stanley family didn't get involved in politics, but if she could become the "first lady" of the richest family, it would still be significant.

The more Jasmine thought about it, the more excited she became, and the more she looked forward to Edwin and Christine's blind date. Especially since Christine hadn't called in so long, it made her feel that there was a hope!

10:25 AM

Unable to contain her excitement, she called out to Myra in a loud voice and said, "Bring out that bottle of red wine I hid"

Myra heard Jasmine's request and couldn't help but be stunned. -

Jasmine had told her that the bottle of wine was very rare and expensive

It had been sitting in the cellar for years, untouched since she could not bear to drink in

"Mrs. Stanley, is something good happening?" Myra asked inevitably

"Of course!" Jasmine's eyebrows shot up, even at the thought that Christine might have already been intimate with Edwin.

If Christine managed to get pregnant, the marriage would be finalized.

"Hurry, Jasmine urged.

Myra quickly went to fetch the wine.

Myra had just finished pouring the wine for Jasmine when the door clattered open.
