“You!” Penelope had never been this angry in her entire life. Her blood pressure rose at once!”She held her head in her hands as a wave of dizziness washed over her. She sat down on the sofa and leaned against it. “Alright, I can move to the building by the courtyard and you can cut ties with me, but Sharon can’t move into the Zachary household or become the lady of the house as long as I’m still alive!” she angrily shouted out. After warning him, a maid helped her out.Simon spoke when she turned around to leave, “You’d better not do anything to Shar. Otherwise, don’t blame me for disregarding the relationship between us.”Penelope’s back stiffened. She turned around to fix a furious and upset glare at him. “Hah… Alright, you’re really something else! I’ve raised an ungrateful bastard!”If she knew that things would turn out this way, she should not have bothered to care for him when their mother passed away after giving birth to him.Simon watched her leave the room emotionless
The doctor had announced that the child Sharon gave birth to was stillborn, but things were not as simple as that. Penelope had bribed the doctor to tell Simon that the child died, but she had actually secretly transferred the child elsewhere.The child did not die. Although she was weak, she was still considered healthy. At first, she intended to take the child’s life so that she would not survive. However, she was born healthy and Simon’s blood flowed in her veins. Therefore, she finally decided to let the child live. However, this child could not call Sharon her mother. After pondering upon it for a while, Diana told her close associate, “Look for Diana. I want to find a mother for the child.” The maid did not understand what Penelope intended to do, but she followed her orders and looked for Diana. Penelope stared at the sycamore tree outside the window. This time, she wanted Sharon to give up on Simon. Simon stopped working for a week to accompany Sharon at ho
The signal on Simon’s phone was not very good. He could not hear what the other person was saying on the phone, but it had to be an important phone call since the person did not hangup.“Go out and answer the phone,” Sharon told him. He looked at her worriedly. He was not that foolish to leave her and his sister alone.“It’s alright. I’ll go after eating a little more,” Sharon said in a steady tone. She did not seem emotional at all.Simon nodded at her after a momentary pause. He took his phone and walked over to the side of the window to continue talking. He would not let Sharon face his sister alone.He continued to glance at the dining table to monitor Sharon and Penelope’s actions from time to time as he spoke on the phone.Sharon continued eating silently. Although Penelope had an unpleasant expression on her face, she did not make things hard for Sharon.For now, it seemed like they were both calm.Penelope did not say anything, but anger flared up in her gaze when she
The moment Sharon stabbed her with the knife, her emotions got even more unstable. She panted heavily as she pulled the knife out and tried to stab Penelope once again. “Give me back my child!” Blood splattered on her eyes. She looked just like a witch that had gone delirious from her own powers! Penelope could sense the strong sense of hatred that Sharon exuded. She was really going to kill her! She finally felt afraid. She regretted underestimating Sharon. She should have been cautious of her. After all, she was a madwoman! “Simon… save me. Save me!” Penelope pleaded with him in pain. Her wound hurt so badly that cold sweat had started beading her forehead.Just as Sharon was about to stab her a second time, Simon grabbed her hand that was holding onto the knife just in time.“Shar!” Simon shouted out. She looked just like how she had been when she lost control of her emotions in the hospital.Sharon was enraged because he was holding her back. She withdrew her hand forcefu
After returning to her senses, Sharon saw Penelope’s blood staining her hands. She jolted up in shock when she realized what she had done.She had really stabbed Penelope Zachary with a knife!At that moment, she had been overcome with hatred. She simply wanted to kill Penelope to take revenge for her daughter!However, she was now afraid. She knew that no matter how much she hated Penelope, she did not actually have any intention to kill her.Nevertheless, she had lost control over her emotions. Was she… going to become like her mother?No… she did not want to go crazy! Simon realized that she was trembling all over. She seemed to be extremely frightened. He immediately wrapped her into his arms. “Don’t be afraid. It’s alright.”“Simon, I’m… sorry…” She could only apologize to him. She was not apologizing for hurting Penelope but because she had made him worried.“You never need to say sorry to me.”“Simon, I don’t want to be like this. I don’t want to be like my mother.” Fe
The next day, Penelope insisted on getting discharged from the hospital. She wanted to return to the Zachary household with Diana and the child.“You know what to say later, right?” Penelope asked Diana when the car arrived at the Zachary household.Diana was carrying a baby girl in her arms. At first sight, one could tell that the adorable baby had just been born not too long ago.Director Zachary had made her the mother of this baby girl. She also told her that she had to tell everyone that this child belonged to Simon and her.She felt extremely anxious, but when she thought of her ill mother who was in need of money to receive treatment, she agreed to take the risk.“I know,” Diana said as she lowered her head.“Yes, you have to speak to President Zachary with a pitiful expression on your face just like that.” Penelope was positive that Sharon would leave this time around.Simon was accompanying Sharon in the living room. He was surprised when the butler told him that his si
Sharon looked at the baby girl. She had a small face, rosy cheeks, curled lashes, and a delicate nose. She was sleeping soundly in her swaddle. The baby girl’s facial features really resembled Simon’s…Somehow, a sense of adoration arose within her when she saw the baby. She wanted to love and cherish this child.Was she feeling that way toward someone else’s child because she had just lost her own child?If this were Simon and Diana’s child, she should find it hard to accept her. Nevertheless, she was exceptionally calm. She even felt like getting close to this child.“Are you not going to look at the child?” Sharon turned around to look at Simon.There was a stiff expression on Simon’s face. He was sure that this child did not belong to him. Therefore, he did not want to look at her.“No.” He rejected her immediately.“Simon, how can you treat your own child like that? Although Diana is her mother instead of the woman you like, the child is innocent. Even if you aren’t willi
“I don’t have other intentions. I just want to take a look at her.” She spoke from the bottom of her heart. “It’s late. You’d better rest. You can look at her after the result of the paternity test comes out tomorrow.”Sharon thought that her actions were rather odd as well. The baby was not her child, but why was she so attached to her?Eventually, she listened to him. “Alright.”She did not sleep well that night. She dreamed of the child that she had lost once again.The next day, Claude personally brought the results of the paternity test to the Zachary household.Everyone gathered around when he handed the results to Simon. They waited for him to read it.Sharon seemed extremely calm. Penelope kept staring at Sharon, a cold and mocking glint appearing in her gaze. Diana sat down beside Penelope with the child in her arms. She lowered her head. She seemed extremely weak and powerless.Simon took out the paternity test report. The results were beyond his expectations. He t
