Chapter 185

Jasmine's face stiffened at Edwin's words, his question leaving her both angry and embarrassed

She was embarrassed because he was questioning her judgment.

She was angry because, as his mother, she felt it was her right to arrange his marriage. His question clearly showed he didn't regard her authority

However, Jasmine knew this was not the time to argue with Edwin

Taking a deep breath, she said, "You saw the situation just now Tilda was so agitated. If she really jumped, what would we do? And with the reporters there, how would you explain her jump! No matter what, it would affect her negatively. I believe you don't want that to happen either"

She paused to gauge Edwin's reaction. Sering he had no intention of arguing further, the felt a w

Tikla listened to his words indifferently, her eyes showing line emotion

After a while, she said, "Tin tired. Come see ine tomorrow.

Tikla, no longer looking weak, rolled her eyes at Sam. "Edric is just a spoiled playboy. He in the only son.

Sam, feeling reproached, could only cough awkwardly "Hat I dont think Edwin has much affection for you. If his autant hadn't driven the reporters away quickly, he probably would have refused the engagement"

"Do you think I'm a fool Would I have come down if I didn't get what I wanted" Tilda's eyes flashed with running "Do you think Jasmine rame on her own' That woman, who only ca

Upon realizing what Tilda meant, Sam's expression changed to one of admiration. You're just like me when I was young, so sharp!"

However, his admiration quickly turned to concern. "But an engagement is no joke. Edwin may not have denied it in front of the reporters, but he's not someone easily manipulated. If he doesn't play along, we could end up really embarrassed."

"He might not care about my reputation, but he has to care about Talia's. Didn't you say Talia wanted me to live for her Tilda showed no concem "If he still loves Talia, he won't embarrassus!"

These words reassured Sam. "That's good. That's very good"

He also hoped to have a powerful son-in-law, which would honor him in select society.

Sam, overjoyed, hastily reminded Tilda to take good care of herself.

When things quieted down. Tilda took out her phone to check.

As the expected, the internet was flooded with news about their engagement

A faint smile appeared on Tilda's lips, her eyes gleaming with determination,

Meanwhile, Jasmine left the hospital and got into her car

Rubbing her temples, she pondered how to indefinitely postpone the engagement and eventually get rid of Tilda.

Just then, her phone rang. It was Avery Lopez, a regular companion.

Jasmine straightened up and answered it with an air of superiority. "Mrs. Lopez, I'm sorry. I've already told them that I won't be joining you for shopping today. You all go ahead and play without me" Avery's voice came through the phone, cheerful and teasing."1 understand, Mrs. Stanley. You're busy with Edwin's proposal to his fiancée. Congratulations!"

Jasmine's expression tightened.

She knew the reporters must have spread the news by now.

Avery, oblivious to Jasmine's displeasure, continued, "She is as haughty as she was four years ago. Edwin proposes, and she insists on an engagement instead of a wedding. Is she planning to run away like she did four years ago!"

"You're taking it easy, but online people are always nitpicking and spreading rumors. Ever since the news broke about Mr. Stanley and Ms. Gill getting engaged, the internet has exploded. Lots of people are saying the Stanley family never intended to marry Tilda in the first place. They're even suggesting Tilda pressured you into the engagement. It won't be long before they start finding reasons to call off the engagement altogether It's just awful, what they're saying online"

Jasmine hung up on Avery, her face turning pale with anger.

She quickly opened a news page and, true to Avery's words, every article about Edwin and Tildas comments, covering every possible opinion, especially those Avery hail mentioned

With a smile on her rosy face, Irene seemed to be in good spirits.

Sharon approached quietly and gently tapped Irene's shoulder. "Irene, why are you using Grandpa's phone? What did I say about this?

Due to concerns about Irene's eyesight, Sharon had always been strict about limiting her phone use

Irene blinked awkwardly and her eyes crinkled even more with joy. "Mommy, I saw Daddy's picture"

Irene had only spent a few happy hours with Edwin earlier that day.
