Chapter 144
While I fell silent for a while, Sharon heaved a sigh and said mncholically, “You don’t have to help
him out. I’m sure he has left to meet Crystal. When you two stood together and held hands, I saw that
the smiles on your faces were stiff.”
“Ah!” I chuckled awkwardly, for I never thought Sharon would nail my lie straightforwardly. “Since you
knew the answer, why do you have to ask me?”
Sharon’s expression turned grim as she sat still. Gazing at her, I felt that she looked pale-faced and
dejected. As such, Iforted, “Grandma, Lyle and Crystal are meant for each other. They had no
choice but to separate from one another back then. So, why don’t you consider giving them your
blessing?”
I never imagined asking Sharon to give her blessing to Lyle and Crystal one day. Nevertheless, I didn’t
do it out of generosity but only wished to get a divorce as soon as possible. I believed she understood
the connotation in my words.
Isn’t it the best solution for everyone? Although Crystal always yed tricks behind people’s backs, she
dared not go overboard before Sharon. I felt that Crystal was afraid of Sharon since she was young,
probably because Sharon knew her dirty tricks.
For instance, there was a time when Sharon figured out Crystal bullied a girl and framed me with it.
Since then, Crystal would be afraid whenever she saw Sharon.
Sharon and I knew the reason that Crystal left very well. Nheless, I still wished that Sharon could
ept her. Deep down, I never understood why Sharon resisted Crystal so much.
I guessed birds of a feather flocked together indeed. Sharon disliked Wendy but was fond of me;
Wendy liked Crystal but loathed me.
“No way!” Sharon interrupted me seriously and bellowed, “I’ll never let a woman like Crystal be married
into the Smith family. There is no way I’ll ept her!”
I was shocked to see Sharon’s reaction once I mentioned Crystal. It was as if Crystalmitted some
unforgivable crimes before.
After yelling angrily, Sharon came back to her senses and realized that she lost her self-control. Then,
she heaved a long sigh and added, “No matter what, I’ll not allow Lyle and Crystal to be together.”
“Why?” If what Sharon said was right, she changed the painter’s name of Autumnal Panorama from me
to Crystal, thus allowing Crystal to study art abroad. However, using the evidence linked to this
scandal, she forced Crystal to move to Anndur. Deep down, I couldn’t understand her rationale
behind it.
Was it because she wanted Lyle to marry me and obtain the shares for her? I was reluctant to think ill
of Sharon. If that was the reason, she didn’t have to stop Lyle and me from getting a divorce. After all, I
was virtually worthless to her now.
“I have my reasons!” Sharon replied determinedly. Then, she pointed at the cab and said, “Eve,
please bring the document in the cab to me.”
I did as she said and opened the cab. The next moment, I was shocked to see an encrypted
document. Usually, people wouldn’t bring important documents along to a hospital. Nheless, I held
in my curiosity and handed it over to Sharon.
I took a step back, for I believed that curiosity would kill the cat. After ncing through the document,
Sharon handed it back to me and said, “Eve, you should take a look as well.”
I took the document from her hesitantly. Almost instantly, I was stunned by the title—share transfer
agreement. As my heart was racing, I hastily flipped to thest page and saw my mom’s name—Amelia
Jones.

“Grandma, what is this?” I asked.
“This is the proof of your mom’s shares!” I was caught off-guard once again by Sharon’s straightforward
exnation. I couldn’t help but recall the unpleasant moment when I first heard about the shares in
Sharon’s mansion.
Although I imed that I heard nothing, everyone knew that I lied back then. Right then, I was
bewildered because Sharon showed the agreement to me.
