Chapter 87 The drive back to the house was quiet. Sharon was left speechless at his last word. He got drunk because of her? Because they had a fight? “Welcome home, Miss.” Tara welcomed Sharon as she stepped out of the car. She took the purse from her, and they walked into the house. “Did it go well?” Tara asked her. “Yes.” Sharon hummed. She got into her room and slumped into her bed. Tara helped her take off her shoes and arrange them in the appropriate place. “You should take your clothes off and sleep properly at least.” She complained, seeing that Sharon wouldn't move an inch from where she was. Sharon ignored her. After nagging her for some minutes, Sharon sighed. She got on her feet, and she walked to her closet, where she took off her clothes and makeup. When she was done, she walked back to her bed and fell back on it. Sharon's phone suddenly buzzed. She glanced at the phone screen when she noticed that it was a call from Ryan. She frowned her face a little and i
Chapter 88 Sharon sat in front of the mirror. She packed her long hair into a ponytail. It was the resumption day at Wellington College, and it would be her first day in college. A soft smile escaped from the corner of her lips as she stared at her reflection. Her black hair was shimmering under the light, casting a magnificent glow of excitement and anticipation. She inhaled sharply. A knock suddenly came on her door, interrupting her thought. Sharon looked at the door, and the next minute the door was opened, and Tara strode in. She watched the lady who looked more excited than her rush in. Of course, it was her mistress's first day at school, and Tara was more excited than any other person. “You aren’t done dressing up?” She moved closer to Sharon, who was still sitting in front of the big mirror. “Almost,” Sharon told her, and she applied a little lipgloss to her lips. She got up from the seat and grabbed her bag. “How will your first day in school be?” Tara gigg
Chapter 89 Sharon turned in the direction where the voice came from, and she saw Aria alighted from a car. Aria moved closer to her at a fast pace. “What are you doing here? Did you follow me here again?” She scoffed at Sharon's face. “Follow? I think you did that, not the other way around." Sharon rolled her eyes. Aria must have learned from Andrew when she applied for Wellington College and that she was when she did the same. Sharon wasn’t so shocked to see Aria’s sudden change of expression. No doubt, her assumptions were right. Sharon hissed, and she immediately left her sight. She walked down the corridor, checking the map in her hands, trying to find her way to her class. “Could I have gotten the wrong map?” She thought. Strangely, she couldn’t find her way to her class no matter how she kept glancing at the map in her hands. Her attention was on the map, and she didn’t realize the person standing in front of her. “Need help?” A voice hollered over her. Sharon
Chapter 90 The history teacher came in after some minutes, and the class began. When the class was still going on, it was suddenly interrupted by the door that sprang open. Sharon looked at the door and watched Aria barge into the class with a few other students behind her. Sharon had thought they weren’t in the same class since Aria wasn’t present till almost the end of the lecture. But no doubt they were. She must have been busy snapping around her new school trying to find the perfect picture for her internet page. When history class was over, more lecturers came in and took them to more subjects. After some moment, it was finally lunchtime. Sharon twirled the pen in her hand casually before jolting down everything into her mind. Ella was sitting beside her, packing her bag. The moment she was done with that, she glanced over at Sharon, who didn’t look to be preparing to leave the class for the school cafeteria. She leaned towards her and asked “Aren’t you starving?
Chapter 91 “Rose is in the senior class,” Ella told Sharon as they walked down the school hallway. Sharon’s brows snapped together. She knew she was there, and yet she decided to attend the same college? “Actually, my dad insisted on this school. I was against it, but I was left with no choice after he threatened me with my allowance.” She shrugged. “And when I found out this place had the best food, I was so eager to come.” Ella giggled at the last part. “How did you meet her? I mean Rose.” Sharon asked her. “We had been friends since high school, but I never knew the witch had eyes for my father. I just wish to snap her crazy neck.” Ella said and clenched her fist tightly. When school was over, Sharon and Elle walked to the school parking lot. They suddenly ran into Aria, who was alone. She wasn’t with any of her set of friends this time. As She approached them Sharon could see that Aria’s stern gaze was fixed perfectly on Elle. Seeing the look on her face, she could
Chapter 92Sharon sat quietly in her classroom, scribbling notes from the day’s lesson. Her mind wandered in and out of focus, thoughts occasionally drifting to the events of the previous day. She could still feel the weight of it in her chest, but she tried to keep herself immersed in her work. The next teacher walked in, and Sharon glanced up. Her heart skipped a beat as she saw Ryan standing there. She felt like she had lice on her hair but she kept it together even if she didn't expect what she saw. Ryan’s presence didn't even make her flinch, except she had to raise a closure, especially after what had transpired between them. She had hoped to avoid him for a while, at least until things settled. But now, here he was, standing in front of the class, starting his lecture as if nothing had happened.Sharon tried to keep her head down, focusing on her notes. She felt Ella, her friend sitting beside her, shoot her a glance but said nothing. After an excruciating hour, the bell rang
Chapter 93Sharon had been unconscious for two days. The sterile hospital room was quiet except for the steady beeping of the heart monitor beside her bed. Mathew sat nearby, his face a mask of stone, though his mind was swirling with anger and worry. The doctors had done everything they could, and while they had saved her life, she had yet to open her eyes. Mathew clenched his fists, recalling what he had learned just hours earlier. She had been poisoned. “There was poison in her system.” The doctor's voice rang in his head. He couldn't believe it, and his fury grew with every passing minute. Whoever had done this was going to pay dearly. He would find the culprit, and when he did, they wouldn’t live to see another day. He had vowed it silently to himself as he walked through the hospital corridors, waiting for her to wake up.After what felt like an eternity, Mathew finally got the news he had been waiting for. Sharon’s eyes fluttered open, her gaze unfocused at first, but as sh
Chapter 94 Mathew sat in the luxurious VVIP lounge of the upscale hotel, engrossed in a tense conversation with one of his key investors. The meeting was important, he needed this partnership to move forward with his next major business venture. As the investor droned on about terms and expectations, Mathew’s attention was divided. His mind had been elsewhere ever since the incident at the club. The memory of finding Sharon there, drunk and vulnerable, gnawed at him. He hadn’t asked her directly what she had been doing, but the way she’d been dressed, the way she’d looked lost, it bothered him more than he cared to admit. Something was wrong, and he could feel it. He just didn’t know what. Mathew took a sip of his drink, his eyes scanning the room absently as the investor continued talking. And then he saw her, Sharon, sitting at the bar in the same black dress, looking more sober but equally troubled. Her posture was slumped, and her expression distant as she stared into her gla
