Dumping My Billionaire Ex

Embarrassed by the situation but realizing she had no choice, Tina decided to leave the event. This was Bisney Entertainment's turf. If she kept this up, it would only make it more difficult for her to save face. "Mom, let's just go," she said without further explanation and pulled Jasmine toward the exit.

Sharon just curled her lip dismissively and, as if nothing had happened, went about her business

It wasn't long before Edwin and Tilda made their entrance and found seats right next to Sharon.

"That woman is Sharon, right?" someone murmured, recognizing her. "Didn't she marry Mr. Stanley? What's going on..."

Over the

past four years, although Sharon kept a low profile, during the time Tilda cheated and was caught red-handed by Edwin and the reporters. it was Sharon who stood by Edwin's side, declaring she was Edwin's current girlfriend and that they were planning to get married. The incident caused quite a stir back then, leaving quite an impression on everyone.

Gossip began to swirl around the venue as glances shifted between Sharon and the trio of Edwin, Tilda, and Randall.

"Thanks for your concern, but we're divorced, Sharon stood up and clarified openly. As Randall's girlfriend for the day, she couldn't afford to have people think Randall was tangled up with a married woman. Edwin, who had maintained a cold face, suddenly frowned at Sharon's announcement. He looked visibly upset, thinking Sharon was gloating about attracting another man so quickly after their divorce. Sharon didn't care for what he thought. After her statement, she sat down and continued to discuss the auction items with Randall,

The auction soon began.

"Edwin, I want that crown. Tilda whispered as the auctioneer unveiled the final item.

That crown was the most expensive item of the evening, and it was also something Sharon had planned to bid on. She had always harbored a dream of wearing a crown at a grand wedding with the person she loved. Though the dream had faded, her fondness for crowns had not.

When Tilda expressed her desire for the crown, her eyes darted toward Sharon, a provocative glint on her beautiful face.

"So she's noticed my interest in the crown, huh? She took my husband; now she wants the crown I like. I won't let that happen, Sharon thought to

herself.

As Tilda raised her bidding paddle, Sharon also lifted hers.

The bid is now at 102 million dollars, 1.64 million dollars..." announced the auctioneer on stage.

The crown had started at a high price, and only Tilda and Sharon were bidding against each other.

Considering what had happened between them before and the fact they were now vying for the same crown, something so symbolic, everyone around looked at them with a meaningful gaze. The price soared quickly to 4 million dollars.

"Ding" Sharon's phone suddenly rang, an incoming message catching her off guard. It was from Edwin. She was surprised he even had her number.

His message was short and to the point. [Don't overestimate yourself.] It was cold and blunt as ever. Clearly, he thought Sharon lacked the means to purchase the crown and was bidding out of spite. Sharon sneered, unbothered by what he thought. She raised her paddle again. "8 million dollars,"

"Wow." The crowd gasped as the bid jumped from 4 million dollars to 8 million dollars in an instant.

Tilda slowly lowered her paddle, her face showing a resigned yet pitiful expression

* million dollars," Edwin suddenly took Tilda's paddle and said in his deep, resonant voice,

His bid elicited gasps of surprise. 8 million dollars was already a significant amount, and no one had expected another counter-bid.

sharon looked toward Edwin. 'So he's jumping in because I'm challenging his beloved? So true love means protecting someone from even the slightest hurt,' she thought. "He's here to defend Tikda, but I'm under no such obligation!

Without hesitation, Sharon added, "10 million dollars"

The price continued to escalate rapidly, reaching 18 million dollars- a figure well beyond the crown's value.

10:59 AM

"Ms. Cress, may I propose a discussion?" Tikda suddenly stood up. "I truly adore this crown and want to wear it on my wedding day. Could you please let me have it and stop the bidding?" she pleaded with apparent sincerity. Then she glanced at Edwin, totally putting on an act of compromising for love.

Sharon pursed her lips and thought, "If I don't give in now, they'll surely think I'm not over Edwin and that I don't want them to get married. It's just a crown. Let them have it."

Suddenly finding the competition meaningless, Sharon put down her paddle.

"18 million dollars once, 18 million dollars twice. 18 million dollars.....

Just when everyone thought the crown would go to Tilda and Edwin, a clear, resolute voice called out a new bid, "20 million dollars!"NôvelDrama.Org holds this content.
