Howard was briefly stunned. When he saw that her hand was swelling from the burn, he immediately grabbed her wrist and pulled her into the break room. He turned on the tap and placed her hand under the running cold water. Sharon glared at him. “Did you do this on purpose?” Howard was focused on her burnt hand as he said coolly, “I’m not that evil.” “Then why haven’t you left? Why were you standing behind me with a cup of coffee?” The more Sharon thought about it, the more things seemed fishy. “I decided to make you a cup of coffee after seeing how you had to work overtime.” Sharon scoffed and struggled to pull her hand back. “No need for your hypocrisy. You’re trying to do something to my design, aren’t you?!” Howard did not seem to have heard her as he turned off the tap and got some ointment from the first aid kit. His movements were skilled, but this only made Sharon resist him more. “Howard Zachary, you’re the design director. Don’t think you’ll be free from any res
Sharon glanced at the temperamental man in front of her. It might be past office hours and there was no one else here, but this was still their office. It would not be appropriate for him to hold her hand like this, would it? Howard’s gaze turned frosty for a split second when he walked out and saw his uncle holding Sharon’s hand. However, he pretended to be nice and asked, “Uncle, are you taking her to the hospital?” There was no telling if Simon had heard what he said. He did not even glance at Howard as he walked right past him while holding Sharon’s hand tightly. Soon, he brought Sharon into the elevator and vanished from Howard’s line of sight. The insincere smile on his face had long since disappeared. His hands, which were lying by his sides, curled into fists. When they exited the elevator, the man still had his large hand around Sharon’s hand. He had a dark expression on his face as he walked in front of her. His legs were long, and Sharon had to speed up if she want
Sharon had just entered the room when someone knocked on the door. “Mrs. Zachary, it’s Xavier Fuller. President Zachary called me over.” Sharon knew Xavier was the Zachary family’s doctor. Why had Simon called him? She opened the door. “Dr. Fuller?” Xavier smiled pleasantly as he said politely, “President Zachary said you’ve hurt your hand. He asked me to come over and treat it.” Sharon’s heart jolted when she heard that. The man had a stony expression on his face earlier, but he called the doctor over the minute he turned his head?“I’ll have to trouble you, then,” she said as she opened the door and let the doctor in. “No worries. It’s my job.” When Sebastian heard that his mommy had hurt her hand, he immediately abandoned his homework and ran over. “Mommy, how did you hurt your hand?” The little guy gazed sadly at her swollen hand as he lowered his head and blew on it. “It must hurt a lot, right?” “It’s alright. Mommy just accidentally scalded herself.” Dr. Fuller h
Sharon's heart skipped a beat. Even her breathing quickened a little. "So what? What does that have to do with you? We did nothing wrong five years ago, so can't I fall in love with him five years later?""What do you love about him?" He roared as he suddenly raised his voice angrily and stared at her with a sinister look. "You wouldn't even let me touch you when we were dating. And now?""Shut up!" Sharon could not take any more of his obscenities, so she angrily raised her hand and slapped him. She was even shaking with anger.The slap made Howard shut his mouth, but the bloodthirsty madness gathered quickly in his eyes. He pinned her harder against the car. "What's the matter? Am I wrong? Or... has my uncle never touched you? He doesn't think anything of you, and it's only a sham marriage!"There was a flicker of panic in Sharon's eyes, and she suddenly struggled. "Let go of me, jerk! Your uncle won't forgive you if you dare to touch me!"It was unknown whether Howard was under
Simon reached down, grabbed him by the collar, and picked him up. His clenched fist was about to fall hard again!An imposing female voice suddenly rang. "Stop it!"The cold shout scared Sharon as she hurriedly went forward to grab Simon's hand just as he was about to beat Howard to death.She turned to look, and Penelope come over with a stern face."Are you guys crazy? Fighting in the Zachary household. Do you think I'm dead?" Penelope was furious, and her chest heaved with rage.Simon's raised fist slowly fell, but he still stared at Howard coldly and warned him, "She's my woman now. Don't you dare touch her again!"Howard's face was bruised. He was badly beaten, yet there was still reluctance hidden in his eyes.Penelope glanced coldly at Sharon. 'All for this woman again! Fiona's right, this woman is trouble!'Sharon pressed her lips together. She did not expect this to happen, and she had no idea it would get so serious.She was probably an unforgivable sinner in Penelop
She could not help but retort, "Bullsh*t! You were insulting me and forcing yourself on me!" She looked at Penelope and added, "If you don't believe me, you can check the surveillance cameras to see if he forced himself on me!"There were surveillance cameras everywhere in the Zachary household, including the garage. Howard's lie would be discredited once they checked the surveillance footage."Jerk! You bullied my mommy again!" Sebastian got out from his mother's arms and ran over to hit Howard when he heard what she said."Sebastian, come to Grandpa." Douglas was afraid they would influence the child badly."Grandpa, you have to punish him. He bullied my mommy," said Sebastian as he angrily pointed at Howard."I'll punish him if he's at fault. Come here.""I want to be with Mommy." Sebastian ran back to his mother.Penelope looked at Howard again, but this time more sternly. "Howard, come clean!" She knew Simon. He would not attack his nephew unless Howard had done something w
"Wait. Who said you could take the child?" Douglas asked suddenly.Sharon's heart gave a little quiver. Before she could react, Douglas ordered, "Take the kid back to his room."Several maids immediately approached her and took the child from her.Sharon was shocked. "What are you doing? Get lost. Keep your hands off my child!"Sebastian also resisted the maids' approach. "Go away. I want to stay with Mommy!"Simon slammed the table and jumped to his feet. "Stop! I'll break the hand of whoever dares touch them!"The maids were too frightened to move and simply looked at each other.Simon walked over and picked the child up. "Sebastian, stay with your grandfather while your mother and I go away for a few days."Simon took the child to Douglas. "Dad, take care of the child. I'm moving out with Sharon."Sharon's eyes widened. 'Is he out of his mind? I can't leave the child in the Zachary household!'"Sebastian..." She wanted to take her son back.Simon stopped her. "Let's go."
She forcibly pulled back her hand, trying to suppress the soreness of her eyes as she refused to cry in front of him. She glared at him with red eyes. "Howard bullies me in the office and at home. You're also suspecting me of having some affair with him. Your sister dislikes me and wants to get rid of me. Okay, I'll go. But who is your father to take my baby? You even helped them to take my baby! Give me my baby back! Give him back!"She tried not to cry at first, but could not help it as she spoke. All her grievances and sadness rushed back to her. She clenched her fist and punched him on the chest, crying, "Give him back. Give Sebastian back to me!"Simon frowned deeply and let her fists pound on him as he stood still. When he saw her crying with tears in her eyes and looking like a wronged little girl, his heart stirred.Sharon had been depressed these days as she constantly felt like she was relying on the charity of the Zachary family. Thus, she had to be cautious when dealing
