Chapter 10

Sharon had not expected her father to leave something for her. Five years ago, she left in a rush. After bidding farewell to her father in the cemetery, she immediately left Northern City as the place no longer welcomed her.

"I got it, I'll contact you tomorrow then."

Doctor Collins still needed to attend to other patients. Thus, he left the scene after leaving his contact number.

The next day, Sharon made sure that the little kid's stomach was alright after he had consumed his medication. Only then did she send him to kindergarten and head to work.

As soon as she arrived at the company, she received a call from the secretary’s office. She was being summoned to the president’s office as President Zachary wanted to meet her.

Not long after, Sharon reached the president's office. Simon was standing by a window that spanned from the ceiling to the floor. He was on the phone with someone else. Seeing that she had arrived, he beckoned her to have a seat beforehand.

In no time, he ended the call and walked over. The towering silhouette took a seat on the executive chair, retrieved some documents that were on the desk, and placed the documents before her.

"This is the company's introductory for the Mountain Linguistic City project. Go through it. You'll be in charge of this project's design."

Sharon was rather thunderstruck. "I'm going to do it alone?"

"Why? You find it difficult?" He seemed as if he was smiling while he looked at her with his brows raised.

Sharon quickly answered, "No, thank you for having faith in me, President Zachary." She had just started working, yet he was confident in leaving the entire project to her?

"If your resume is genuine, I don't see why I can't believe in your ability." He seemed to have seen through her mind.

Sharon felt that he was looking at her thoughtfully, but she could not make out what was going through his mind.

"I'll use my actions to prove my abilities." She let out a faint smile.

At that moment, the secretary knocked on the door to enter the room before placing an invitation card before him. "President Zachary, Young Master Zachary has sent someone to deliver this. It's an invitation card for his fifth wedding anniversary night banquet."

Sharon could not control herself, and thus, she glanced at the card. 'That golden invitation card is really eye-striking.'

She recalled the day she returned. She had seen that they were going to organize a banquet at night for their fifth wedding anniversary on the 26th. The current day was the 26th.

She suppressed the emotions that were dwelling within her, picked up the documents, and left the president's office.

Sharon had made an appointment with Doctor Collins. Therefore, she immediately left for the hospital after work.

In his office, Doctor Collins placed a black box in front of Sharon. "Your father asked me to hand this to you."

Sharon received it with both her hands. "Thank you."

She opened the box with a puzzled look. There was a transparent and shiny jade in it.

She had never seen her father wear the jade before. She picked it up and inspected it with a sharp gaze. There were two ancient letters vaguely craved on the jade. However, she could not make them out at that time.

“Did my father leave me with any last words?"

Doctor Collins shook his head. "Nope. When his illness recurred, he was in a lot of suffering. I wanted to save him. However, Young Master Zachary had ordered me to stop his medical treatment…"

Doctor Collins became agitated and left his words hanging.

Sharon fixed her gaze on him when she heard his words. "What did you say? Howard ordered to stop my father's treatment?"

Subconsciously, Doctor Collins had said something that he should not have said. He waved his hand. "Just forget what I said. Once you've taken your things, off you go." He made an excuse saying that he needed to attend to other patients before leaving hurriedly.

"Doctor Collins…" Sharon wanted to ask for clarification, but he was now very faw away.

It was as if something in her mind had exploded as her body fumbled so much that she could not even stand properly.

'It was Howard! He caused my dad's death! How could he be so cruel?'

In that split second, the anger that she had been suppressing suddenly burst out. Consequently, she clenched the jade in her hand tightly.

Five years ago, on the very same day, her wedding was seized away from her. She was framed, and everyone deemed her a disgusting lady. On top of it all, her father was left to die!

However, on the same day, Howard and Sally were going to organize a banquet at night for their wedding anniversary.

Sharon walked out of the hospital absent-mindedly and casually entered a shop to rent a gown before changing into it. Then, she hailed a cab and headed to Westin Hotel.

It was the day she suffered the most, how could she allow the lowly couple to behave as they wished?!

Sharon arrived at the hotel, and she saw many luxurious cars being driven to the scene. It looked like lots of influential people were gathering to celebrate the occasion that night.

She curled her lips and smirked. 'The more people, the better!'

One had to have an invitation card to enter the hotel, but Sharon did not have one. She was frustrated about it when she suddenly caught sight of a black and domineering Maybach that was entering the scene. A few security guards in black were surrounding the car. It has to be said that they were well trained and their presence was terrifying.

Once the Maybach came to a halt, the door of the car flung open. Subsequently, a man's long legs touched the ground. They were followed by the appearance of the person’s towering silhouette. His meticulous facial features gave off a prestigious vibe that was capable of making anyone light-headed.

Sharon was stunned when she saw that it was Simon. 'That man always takes the limelight. He makes it hard for people to shift their gaze away from him.'

After Simon got down from the car, he turned around and helped another person exit the vehicle. The person was an old man with white hair. He was wearing a suit that seemed to be traditionally styled. He was holding a walking stick that had a dragon’s head carved on it. Needless to say, it gave off a prestigious vibe.

Those who had been waiting around for them immediately bowed and said, "Director Zachary, President Zachary, please enter."

Sharon snapped out of it. 'So that old man is Simon's father, Douglas Zachary?

'That means all of the members of the Zachary family have come? Sally’s influence must be really huge.'

Simon and Douglas had just entered the main entrance of the hotel when Sharon quickly caught up to them. She was halted by others, but she said to them, "I came with President Zachary."

Simon heard the commotion behind him and halted in his footsteps. He saw Sharon, who was in a gown, waving to him with a smile.

He frowned, but before he could speak, Douglas asked from beside him, "Who is she?"
