Chapter 179 – Messing with him
Sherry was close enough so that she didn’t have to listen on purpose to hear the voice coming from the receiver of Edward’s phone.
Her eyes wavered, but she was calm.
When you are an impostor, you have to be prepared to do so.
It’s not the first time she’s been humiliated by Nola before and Aaron has stood by and watched her lose face.
Sherry hid the emotion in her eyes and was about to push the man in front of her away when she did.
Her wrist was suddenly pulled by him.
The two men closed the distance in a hurry.
Her elbows rested directly against his chest and her eyes met, the affection sunken in his eyes so deep and his voice moving enough, “You have a little less time to think about it, ten seconds, is that enough?”
He has always been focused on efficiency.
Twice he had brought it up with her and he had shown enough patience.
And as it should be chaos downstairs by now, he needed her answer before he could decide, whether he would help, or stand by and do nothing.
No one is interested in being unconditionally nice to someone.
All the favorable treatment has long been invisible and marked up to a good price.
“I’ve been adopted before.” Sherry lifted her eyes to look at him, no half-hearted hesitation in them, “Don’t mind?”
“Everyone has a past.”
Including him as well?
Sherry laughed bitterly as she thought about this impostor of hers, “And rightly so.”
“So?”
“I need time to think about it and can’t confirm a relationship right away.”
“Yes.”
Sherry pursed her lips when she saw how quickly he agreed, “There are two more conditions, one, not to disclose our relationship for the time being, and two, I have the right to bring up the breakup if I get tired of you.” Sherry was sober when she said this.
She admitted she had a crush on the man in front of her.
But she would never commit to a relationship again so easily. The past hurt was enough to break her heart, and she really couldn’t afford to be manipulated and used again.
There is also the fact that she wants an equal relationship.
Even if this man was of a higher status, she did not want to condemn herself.
“Number two, I promise you, number one, no.” Edward held her fingers, cool to the touch, like her detached attitude, but he was confident that he could open her heart.
If he were not to accompany her out himself.
I’m afraid she won’t get out of here tonight unscathed.
As they walked down the steps, they saw from afar Flair holding the hand of a tall beauty, presumably Sunny, the rumored daughter of Valentin Pharmacy.
Her eyes are particularly attractive and her whole body stands tall and thin, giving her a clear and cold look.
Sherry and her, they are simply two different types.
I have to say, Ryan’s eye is … really not very accurate.
Sherry, even with her thick skin, slowed down at the sight of Flair’s smug grin and was a little flustered.
But the hand of the man beside her, falling on her shoulder, gathered slightly in her arms.
“There’s me.”
He said, leading Sherry down the steps.
Flair was about to give Sherry the impostor a good count when she saw Edward ringing her shoulders with hate.
“Edward, she lied to you, she’s not even the daughter of Valentin Pharmacy, she’s an impostor.”
It must have been because of Valentin Pharmacy that Edward was particularly attracted to her.
Flair’s voice got louder as he thought this, even pointing directly at Sherry’s face in defiance of her status and face, “You bought this outfit by maxing out your credit card too, didn’t you? Shame on you, pretending to be someone else’s name to cheat.”
“The one next to me is the real Valentin Pharmacy daughter!”
All of a sudden, there were many more people around watching the event.
In the distance, several elders stood at the upstairs fence and heard the super yelling from downstairs before coming over.NôvelDrama.Org holds this content.
“Mr. Jair, it looks like your son has been taken for a ride too.” Someone teased.
Jair’s eyes sank and he snarled, “You saw it with your own eyes?”
“I …”
This Garcia Family member is really protective.
The truth is right in front of you and you still don’t admit it?
Oak, Flair’s father over there, smiled contemptuously, “It’s okay, none of us are going to laugh.”
His daughter has been in love with Edward for more than a day or two, and today he was able to catch this little trick and raise his eyebrows for once, otherwise he would have been angry at being laughed at every day.
Jair’s face chilled for a few moments as a pair of eyes stared at the juniors.
When he looked at Sherry beside Edward, the coldness in his eyes melted a little, why, he felt so much alike.
Flair finished, but Sherry was nowhere to be seen speaking, and she was about to question again.
Edward suddenly leaned over and draped his jacket, over Sherry’s shoulders, “Of course I know, she’s not Sunny.”
With one word, the whole room was shocked.
What does that mean!
Does it mean that he, Edward, has reneged on his engagement to the Garcia Family?
In the crowd, the super-yelling got louder.
In the direction of the first floor, Oak almost burst out laughing, “The son of the Colin Family has the gumption to finally find a woman, after all these years of being a verbal son-in-law to your Garcia Family, now he’s finally getting rid of the Garcia Family.”
Jair didn’t bother with him and was already heading down the steps.
Edward has never let Sherry out of his side since.
The two came down the steps together, shoulder to shoulder, and they simply matched!
The blush on Sherry’s face was such that no one could doubt that they had just had a blush-inducing encounter.
“Miss. Sunny, all that gossip, it’s time to clear that up too.” Edward’s tone was cold.
Treating them differently from the way they treat Sherry!
Sunny felt a little guilty in her heart and softly apologized, “It was because I was applying for school and couldn’t spread any bad news, so I made it difficult for you, guys, and I’m here today to solemnly clarify that this Mr. Edward and I, have never been in a relationship.”
It was her father himself who came to the door and begged for mercy, and only then did he begrudgingly refrain from ever stepping in to explain.
Sunny finished solemnly and then looked at Sherry, “I just heard that there is a lady posing as me and seducing you, I now think it is completely nonsense, with her looks and temperament, she is definitely worthy of you, I sincerely wish you both the best.”
A simple phrase that draws a clear position and boundary.
It also woke up everyone who was just about to watch the fun to the fact that Sherry was not some impostor at all, but a woman that Edward genuinely liked.
Flair was exasperated by this sudden turn of events.
“Ryan, what the hell is going on here? Who the hell is she …?”
“I just stopped you, you didn’t listen to me.” Ryan couldn’t figure out Edward’s relationship with Sherry, but now that the drama had reached this point, it had to be rounded off.
If not, the Garcia Family will lose face!
So, at Ryan’s wink, Edward naturally took Sherry’s hand and said with a smile, “It’s just a fight with me, using Miss. Sunny’s name to mess with me.”
He said, and took Sherry smoothly into his arms, his voice deep, “Hmm?”
