"Whether or not you killed her, or whether she set you up, it's no longer important. The important thing is that this is an opportunity, don't you get it?" Penelope looked at Sharon thoughtfully as she said.Sharon did not catch her meaning. "I know that all this while, you’ve harbored ill intentions against me. Just how much do you want to split me and Simon apart? If you're thinking of advising me to admit to the crime, then you can forget about it.""I've said it so clearly, why can't you understand?" Penelope wondered whether Sharon had a loose screw in her head. "I don't get it, and I don't want to. Please go back. I'm exhausted." Sharon shifted her gaze."With such a thing happening, you're still able to sleep? Besides, Sebastian's illness hasn’t been treated. Can you still sleep in peace?” Penelope said scornfully."The doctor said there's a way to treat Sebastian. If you're really concerned about him, then you’d better head over to the hospital to learn about the details.
Sharon knew that if she agreed to Penelope's idea, Simon would not forgive her.On the one end, it was her son. On the other end, it was the man most important to her. All of a sudden, she did not know what to do.…When it was dawn, Simon came to visit her."Why are your eyes so swollen? You even have dark circles. Didn’t you sleep last night?" He knew Sharon would not be able to sleep well after getting locked up. However, judging from her current situation, it seemed like she had not slept throughout the entire night.Sharon had a lot of things running in her mind, yet she pretended to ask carefreely, "Have you asked about the treatment plan from the doctor?"The glint in Simon's eyes changed, and after keeping quiet for a few seconds, he said, "I have.""So what did the doctor say?"Simon answered exactly the way Penelope answered. The doctor wanted them to have a test tube baby."Have you thought through it? Do you agree with this treatment plan?" Sharon looked into his e
With the metal bars separating them, Sharon could still see the cold glint in Simon's eyes. He looked hurt. Once again, her actions had hurt him!She felt a pinch in her heart and suddenly, she regretted it. 'I've clearly said that I'll not force him to do anything because of our son, yet look at what I've done now?'Just because of what Penelope had told her, she could no longer think properly and even used herself to force Simon into doing something he did not want to.Meanwhile, he was so worried about her and was thinking of ways to get her out of prison. She thought that she was being a scumbag."Simon…" She was about to apologize and ask him to forget about what she just said. She wanted to tell him to not take her words seriously.However, he coldly interrupted her, "Fine, as you wish! I'll agree to the plan!"Sharon was dumbfounded. 'He agrees to it?'He’s willing to go through in vitro fertilization and have a baby with another woman?'"No…" She was eager to say that s
She stood at the spot of the defendant. She gently turned around to look at the audience and saw Simon sitting there as well. His expression was cold and indifferent as usual. He was also giving off an intense aura. His body was emanating a vibe that could make anyone believe that with him around, Sharon would be alright.Sharon clenched her fist. She felt that she should not let him down after all the things that he had done for her.…Everything proceeded according to Simon's plan. At the end of the court session, it was decided that Sharon had made a mistake when defending herself, leading to Fiona's death.Sharon was deemed innocent and was released. However, since it was an accident, she would still have to compensate Fiona's family.Speaking of it, the only family member Fiona had left was Penelope because Howard was still in prison.It would be Penelope's call whether or not Sharon would have to compensate. It would not be difficult to settle.Upon leaving the court, Se
"Sharon, you had it tough this period of time. Come, eat up." It was rare for Penelope to take the initiative to talk to Sharon kindly."Thanks, Penelope." Sharon was being polite but she was not used to the sudden change in Penelope's attitude.Then, Penelope looked at Simon and said slowly, "Simon, have you moved your things back home? Actually, you don't have to go to all the trouble. I’ve never touched all your clothes that were left behind here. Besides, I even asked them to send over new clothes.”"Yeah, I haven’t moved my things," said Simon faintly.Sharon looked at them, puzzled. Her gaze finally landed on Simon. "What things are you guys moving?”"Simon is going to move back to the Zachary household. Didn't he tell you about it? I thought you guys had already discussed it." Penelope looked at Sharon, feeling rather surprised.Sharon was surprised as well. "You're moving back to the Zachary household? Why?""This is his home. Isn't it normal for him to move back here? D
Sharon felt her heart sinking when Simon stared at her so deeply. She then heard Simon saying, “Since you're not willing to believe that I can find a way to treat Sebastian, then I have no choice but to go along with your idea. As long as you're able to accept that child when the time comes.""Simon…""Let's go back. It's getting pretty late." He was not willing to listen to Sharon anymore and passed by her, heading straight into the house.Sharon stood still on the same spot. She turned around to look at Simon's towering silhouette and realized that she had made a terrible mistake.Simon had the chauffeur send Sharon and Sebastian back home. From tonight onward, he would be staying in the Zachary household."Daddy, Mommy, are you guys fighting? Why are you two staying in separate houses now?" Sebastian asked them both when they were in front of the car.Sharon did speak. She was thinking about how she should answer her son.Simon's expression was calm. "We're not fighting, and
Howard kept staring at the man who was in a wheelchair. 'He… He's my uncle?'No! Impossible!'He was sure that his uncle had died in the explosion. It was impossible that he had survived!Besides, this man's appearance was different from his uncle’s, apart from that exceedingly sharp gaze..."Aunt, stop trying to deceive me. Yes, I’ve been in prison for a very long time, but I'm not a complete fool. He's not my uncle!" Howard said."Indeed, I'm not your uncle. Your uncle's dead. You and him no longer have any relations,” said Simon.Ever since that explosion, he had made the decision not to acknowledge Howard as his nephew anymore.Once again, Howard glanced at him with a critical gaze. Suddenly, he developed a sense of fear toward this person."Whether you believe it or not, you’re still a heartless scumbag who even dared to lay a finger on your uncle. We, the Zachary family, will not have such a person like you," Penelope said with an expressionless face.Howard laughed disd
...Sharon received a notification from the hospital saying that Simon would be undergoing in-vitro fertilization.She quickly rushed to the hospital and stopped him before he underwent the selection phase."Simon, are you really going to do it? Have you thought it through?" Sharon looked at him seriously.Simon's mild eyes turned to look at her, and his tone was faint as he said, "I’ll keep my promise to you.”"But I’ve already said that you can choose not to do it if you're not willing to." She did not wish to have him accuse her of forcing him to do it in the future.Simon stared hard at her and said, "I don’t want you to use yourself as an excuse to force me to do all these things." 'I might as well do it this one time and settle everything. Why should I drag this matter on?'Sharon felt a pinch in her heart. 'It looks like he's completely disappointed in me. Or else, he wouldn't say such a thing.'She lowered her eyes and whispered, "I know no matter what I say, you'll not
