Chapter Dumping 237
Chapter 237
Edwin did not immediately look at his phone but remembered that he had added Irene's phone number and changed the settings for her. Her call would come in anytime.
Before the meeting, he had switched on Do Not Disturb mode. Irene was the only one who could call him.
Edwin turned the phone over and saw her phone number. The others paid close attention to his every move. When they saw Edwin looking at his phone, they instinctively expected him to hang up immediately.
"Hello?" Edwin said over the phone. This simply blew their minds.
Under their gaze, Edwin calmly picked up the phone and stood up.
He tapped the table and gestured for Felix to continue the meeting before walking out.
The others were shocked. They saw the wide smile on Edwin's face after he said "Hello".
They couldn't believe their eyes. They had never seen Edwin smile.
The executives' hearts were pounding. This rare smile triggered all kinds of guesses.
"Who is Mr. Stanley talking to?" one of the executives asked.
The executives were all talents who had received elite training. At this moment, some of them could not help but inquire
Even when Edwin and Tilda were together, he had never smiled like this.
Felix glanced at the executives indifferently and replied, "If you want Mr. Stanley to fire the whole team, then go on..." Instantly, they clammed up
Outside, Edwin held his phone. In a place where no one could see, his face softened. "Irene, why did call Daddy?" he asked.
"I have something to tell you. Irene nodded vigorously. The big eyes on her little tender face widened as she said mysteriously, "Daddy, listen, Mommy is going to race with a guy tonight," Edwin had seen Sharon race before, but he was still stunned. Just the two of them?"
Irene nodded at once and replied, "Yes, yes."
She did not catch his name but remembered the address and quickly told Edwin. She did not forget to remind him, "It's nine o'clock, nine o'clock at night."
Edwin stopped smiling and compressed his lips into a thin line.
He couldn't help but think, 'At nine o'clock in the evening, a man and a woman racing alone?"
Edwin imagined them making out instead of racing cars. There was a reason for this disturbing thought. After the divorce, Sharon was surrounded by too many men.
Every one of them desired her. Edwin's two fingers suddenly twisted together, and the nail of one finger dug into the other finger.
Edwin did not seem to feel any pain and hid his emotions from Irene. He only said calmly, "Got it."
After the call, he went back to the conference room. The executives could tell Edwin was gloomier.
The veins on his forehead bulged silently, "Wasn't he all smiles when he went out just now?' the executives wondered. They stared at Edwin silently. When he walked to his seat, he did not sit. He put his hands to the table and his

malicious gaze swept the executives. "Those with 'race' in their names, you're fired, and your team."
The others looked at one another. They wondered what was wrong with such names.
In their eyes, Ediwn had always been clear about rewards and punishments. If he wanted to fire someone, he would start with those with poor performance. The data was clear and organized. The person who got fired would leave convinced.
What does this new decree mean? What is the data or grounds behind Edwin's decision?' they wondered.
Felix did not understand either and looked at Edwin
"That'll be all," Edwin said. He had already pushed open the door and left.
Back in his office, he angrily pulled open the window and put his hands on his hips.
Felix followed in. "Mr. Stanley..."
Edwin frowned and said coldly, "Are you really my assistant? Can't you see the air conditioner is not working?"
Felix didn't dare to talk back. 'Does he think the air-conditioner still cools you down when it's scorching hot outside and he keeps the window open?' he complained inwardly,
He quietly closed the window and quietly turned down the air conditioner. Felix couldn't help but glance at Edwin.
This was the first time he had seen Edwin so angry, and it was inexplicable.
As the temperature dropped, Edwin's anger subsided slightly. He silently walked to the sofa and sat down. He pressed his hands on his knees, and his eyes were filled with frustration.
He started to think, 'What's wrong with me? Why am I so angry just because Irene said that Sharon was going to race with someone tonight?"
Previously, Ray had asked Edwin if he had fallen in love with Sharon. Edwin admitted it, but it was only because he felt comfortable staying with Sharon.
Edwin had never expected that the news would make him feel so jealous.
"Mr. Stanley, is there anything else?" Felix placed the meeting record on his desk and probed.
Edwin came back to his senses. He rubbed his eyebrows and returned to his cold expression. I'm not going to the social event tonight."
Felix was stunned for a moment and reminded him. The social event tonight is very important. Mr. Smith is..." Before he could finish his sentence, he felt a cold glare from Edwin. Felix immediately corrected himself. "Okay."
At nine o'clock sharp, Sharon arrived at the racing arena.
The new racing arena had a classic elliptical design. Below the many rows of seats was a black track.
As soon as she got out of the car, the mixed smell of various building materials wafted into her nose.
Sharon fanned her nose with her hand. A white light suddenly flashed, like a pair of demonic eyes that had suddenly opened. Facing the light, Sharon narrowed her eyes.
Behind the light was a sports car with heavy paint. The car's chassis almost touched the ground, and its body looked. sharp and arrogant.
Nelson in a white racing suit walked out of the car. Holding a racing hat in his hand, he looked handsome and proud.
10:57 AM
Chapter 237
"Good evening. Sharon greeted warmly as she walked over.
Only then did she notice another car parked beside Nelson's.
A man got out of the car. Sharon frowned slightly when she saw the uninvited guest.
"Edric said that he wants to compete with us. My dear cousin-in-law, are you okay with that?" Nelson asked carefully.
Sharon was a legend in his eyes. He worshiped her.
When Edric heard the way Nelson called her, he gave a half-smile and snorted. "You call her cousin-in-law? That's the past.
After saying that, Edric sneered and glanced at Sharon, hinting that she was deliberately misleading Nelson. Nelson rarely saw her since the last time, so Edric was mistaken.
However, Sharon did not say it and walked up to Nelson calmly. "Since you asked for a race, it's up to you. Also, you really shouldn't call me cousin-in-law anymore. Call me by my name from now on," Edric snorted again. Anyway, he just didn't like Sharon. No matter what she said, he felt that it was ridiculous and hypocritical
Nelson didn't like the idea and preferred a nickname suitable for a legendary car racer, but he accepted it. He "Alright," he replied.
Sharon nodded. Then, she turned around, took out her helmet, and put it on. "How many laps?"
Nelson looked blankly at her. She put on the helmet so smoothly.
Sharon was wearing a red racing suit and a red helmet, looking like a burning red flame. She was so cool and valiant. Before Nelson could respond, Edrie said, "What's the point of racing like this?" Edric was chewing gum with a smug look on his face. He looked like he didn't care about anyone.
Sharon understood what he meant. She tilted her head and looked at him. "How do you
want to do this?"
Edric replied with a smirk, "Everyone, cover one eye. With that, he took out three ribbons and waved them. "Do you
dare
He deliberately pointed to her right eye. "That eye for you. Then he raised his chin provocatively.
Edric's pointing finger suddenly reminded Sharon of Tilda's inexplicable appearance during the day. Tilda was looking at her eyes at that time.
Now, Sharon suddenly realized that Tilda was suspicious of her eyes. With her right eye covered, Sharon couldn't see anything.
'Only Tilda can think of such a vicious way. She wants to use Edric to kill me, Sharon thought, frowning silently, "That's not good," Nelson quickly said when he saw Sharon's serious expression.
