The atmosphere at the originally pleasant reunion dinner became a little strange because of Eryn Kent’s appearance. Eugene had brought Fern and their daughter back for the first time today, while Sharon and Simon, who had been missing for two years, had come over as well. It should have been a joyous day. Scarlet Hank was regretting it now. She should not have asked Eryn to come to the Newton household at this time. She should have invited her to meet with her son privately. After dinner, Sharon and Simon said goodbye to Quinn and left the Newton household. Both of them had something on their minds—especially Sharon, who looked very troubled. In the car, Sharon kept looking out the car window. It was unknown what she was thinking. A force grabbed her on the shoulder, and the next moment, she fell into the man's broad chest. “Why are you so quiet?” Simon’s deep voice sounded from above her head. Sharon struggled a little in his arms but finally relented and leaned obedie
“In a few days, Shar and I will bring Sebastian back for dinner,” Simon said. “It’s good enough if you’re willing to come back for dinner.” Surprisingly, Penelope did not force Simon to move back to the Zachary household. She paused for a moment before asking, “Have you thought clearly about having another child to save Sebastian?” Simon’s eyes darkened, but his face remained unchanged as he said, “Penelope, I can handle this. You don't have to worry.” “How can I not worry? Sebastian is the only child of our Zachary family. If you refuse to have another child to save him, the bloodline of the Zachary family will be gone!” Penelope had lost her appetite in the past few days from thinking about this matter. “Saving him doesn't necessarily mean having another child.” Simon remained calm. “I spoke to the doctor. The only way to cure him completely is for you to have another baby!” Penelope still insisted that Simon should have a child with another woman. “Sebastian is my chil
Simon felt terribly uncomfortable, but he was still staring coldly at his sister and the woman. In his scarlet eyes, there was a trace of ruthlessness that looked like he wanted to kill. “Simon, don't blame me for doing this. I know you won’t do this but this is the only way to save Sebastian. Just think of it as a sacrifice for Sebastian,” Penelope advised one last time. “Penelope, tell her to get lost right now or we really won’t be siblings anymore!” Simon said coldly. “As long as I can save Sebastian or add another child to our Zachary family, you can hate me all you want.” Penelope did not care anymore. After that, Penelope said to the woman, “Go over.” Although the woman was intimidated by Simon’s cold and stern appearance, she had accepted the money. Besides, this was a handsome man and she was not at a disadvantage, so she walked toward him step by step. “Go away. If you take one step closer, I'll kill you!” Simon’s words were not a joke. “Mr. Zachary, just let me
Claude immediately brought Simon inside to see Sharon. “What's wrong with you? Why do you look so unwell?” Sharon saw Simon in her office. “Mr. Zachary has been drugged,” Claude said. Sharon was shocked. “Drugged? Who did it? What drug?” “Go out!” Simon said to Claude. Claude nodded slightly before he turned around and left quickly. He closed the door behind him. Sharon walked over to Simon and wanted to ask another question when he pulled her down. Seeing his flushed eyes, Sharon immediately knew what drugs he had been given. However, who was so bold as to drug him? Before she could ask, he had lowered his head and was kissing her lips. Two hours later, Simon finally felt the effects of the drugs in his body disappearing. Seeing Sharon’s woeful look, he leaned down and kissed her back with some regret. “I’m sorry.” “Who drugged you?” Simon’s eyes constricted slightly as a cold flash flitted across. “Penelope.” “What? Your sister? Why did she give you such a d
The more Penelope thought about it, the more disgruntled she became. She had been so close to getting the Zachary family another child! The next day, she went directly to the lab to find Sharon. “Penelope, why are you here?” Sharon could almost guess the purpose of Penelope’s visit but she did not state it aloud. “Sharon, do you still have the mood to work on your perfumes and fragrances? Aren’t you worried about Sebastian’s condition at all?” Penelope chastised coldly. “Penelope, that’s too much. I’m his mother. No one cares more about him than I do.” Sharon was troubled enough as it was and did not want to hear any reprimanding words again. “Then why are you so indifferent? Why aren’t you persuading Simon to agree to have another child?” Penelope pushed all the blame to her. “It's not that I didn't find someone for him, but he refused. It was useless even when you drugged him, no?” She no longer thought in that direction now. She knew she could not force Simon nor persuad
“You’re right. You’re only responsible for sowing the seeds. The rest is none of your business.” Riley did not understand his current attitude. Had he not forced her to abort the child before this? Now, he was deliberately showing concern. Was he trying to coax her to get rid of the baby in a different way? “Fine, let's not talk about the child now. Let's talk about something else.” He raised his hands in surrender. “I have nothing to say to you. You need to leave.” “Don’t keep telling me to leave. When I’m done talking, I’ll naturally disappear from your sight.” “Then just say what you want to say!” She really had no patience left to deal with him. Jim frowned. “Your temper is getting worse and worse. Is it like this for all pregnant women?” “You can go now.” She could not be bothered to talk nonsense with him. “It's not impossible if you insist on having the baby, but you have to get married to me,” Jim looked her straight in the eye and said. Riley was shocked and
“Brother Jimmy?” Riley sneered as she sized up the couple in front of her mockingly. “Are you one of his female friends?” Riley did not know how many female friends Jim had. She had never wanted to find out before, and… she did not want to know about it now either. She just hoped that he would not bring them to her. “Jim Newton, did you deliberately bring someone over to piss me off? Can't you be without a woman for a moment?” Would he die without a woman to keep him company? To be honest, Jim did not even know that Eryn had been following him. The most important thing was that Eryn's attitude toward him was clearly not like this before. On the day they first met, she had disliked him very much. There was no contact between them after that. At that time, he thought that this was the end to the blind date his mother had found for him and he did not have to worry about how to get rid of her. Surprisingly, she followed him here today and deliberately pretended to be intimate w
Riley suddenly raised her eyes and met his gaze. She lost her senses for a moment, but she soon returned to reality. She smiled coldly. “You said that so seriously I was almost moved.” “You’re clearly seducing my fiancé in front of me yet you say that you have nothing to do with him? A woman like you is so shameless!” Eryn was unwilling to be ignored by them. She reached out and pushed Riley’s shoulder after speaking. Riley was caught off guard and took a few steps back before she stood still. The anger suppressed in her heart could no longer be contained! She took a few steps forward and pulled Eryn out. “The shameless one is you! Why are you at my house? Get out!” “I didn’t expect a homewrecker nowadays to be so arrogant. How dare you touch me after laying your hands on my man? Don’t think I’m a pushover!” Eryn’s temper also flared as she fought back. Riley merely pushed her out but Eryn hit her! Riley covered her cheek that had been slapped. An angry flame flashed throug
