“You gave Bonnie a cold shower?” Simon fixed his dark and piercing gaze on Diana as he asked her in a heavy tone.“I… No, I didn’t. How could I have done something like that to my own child? You must trust me…” Diana panicked as she shook her head to deny the allegations against her. She could not admit to what she had done no matter what! Simon stared at her coldly without saying anything. Diana did not know if he believed her or not. “Why are there so many people crowded over here? Don’t you all have your own work to do?” Just then, Penelope walked in.She huffed lightly when she saw Simon. “So you still know the way back home? I heard that you’ve been waiting for Sharon at the Newton household these days, yet she still refuses to see you.”She took a few steps over to him and laughed at him mockingly. “Don’t you think that you’re wasting your efforts on a woman who doesn’t appreciate you at all? There’s an obedient woman who treats you well waiting for you at home. You have s
Penelope was his elder sister. Her words still held some weight.However, Simon did not bother to talk much to her. “Take Diana to Maple Villa. Prepare all her daily necessities as well.” That was all that he could do for her. After all, she was still Bonnie’s mother. “No! President Zachary, I’m not leaving. I don’t want to leave. Don’t separate Bonnie and me…” Diana cried as she pleaded with him. For the sake of their child, he would not bear to do so, right? Simon did not spare her a glance. His handsome face hardened as he said, “But she doesn’t need you. Since you can’t be a good mother, let a professional caretaker take care of her.” As soon as he finished speaking, he waved his hand and gestured for Robert to take her away. “Miss Diana, please come with me. Don’t make things difficult for me,” Robert said courteously. If she did not cooperate with him, he had no choice but to use force. “Robert, scram!” Penelope shouted coldly. She wanted to protect Diana. “Miss Dia
“Miss Diana, please stay here. You can’t go anywhere without President Zachary’s orders,” Robert told her before he left. She watched the door close before her eyes, completely separating her from the outside world. The sound of the lock clicking shut shocked her. No! She did not want to get locked up here. Was this any different from being banished? She rushed over and slammed her fists against the metal door with all her might. “I don’t want to stay here. Let me out! Let me out… I want to return to the Zachary household. I won’t stay here…” However, nobody responded to her no matter how much she hit the door. Nobody would open the door for her. She did not know how long she had been hitting the door. She was tired. Completely spent, she leaned against the door and gradually sat down on the ground. “... I want to return to the Zachary household. Let me go back…” she murmured while crying. How could Simon treat her so harshly? Regardless of everything, she was st
Sharon got a phone call from Simon as soon as she walked out of her laboratory. She raised her brow and proceeded to pick up the call.Simon’s low and mesmerizing voice rang out from the other end of the call. “I want to see you,” he said in a direct and authoritative tone.She smiled and asked, “Why are you in such a hurry? Have you resolved everything?” “Yes, I’ve already sent her somewhere else. If you don’t wish to see her, she’ll never appear before your eyes again.” “That’s harsh. Didn’t you say that you’d take responsibility for her?” She teased him. “I don’t want to say any more nonsense. Come out.” It seemed like he really wanted to see her. “What will you do if I don’t go out?” “Then I’ll go in,” he said curtly. Sharon immediately said, “Alright, wait for me outside. I’ll be out in a while.” “Hurry up.” “Alright. Stop rushing me.” It had just been a few days of not meeting each other. Was he already in such a rush to see her? Actually, she had known
“What? Diana gave Bonnie a cold shower on purpose to make her fall sick?”On the way back to the Zachary household, Simon told her about the incident in the car. This was the reason why he had sent Diana somewhere else. “Mrs. Carter said that she saw it herself. I trust her. She won’t lie.” Furthermore, he had intentionally arranged for Mrs. Carter to stay by Diana’s side.“But… she’s Bonnie’s mother. How could she bear to inflict harm upon her own child?” As a mother herself, Sharon would definitely not be able to do something like that.At the thought of Bonnie being abused, her heart hurt for the baby.“Exactly, that’s why I sent her somewhere else. I’ll just let her see Bonnie occasionally.” He would not allow Diana to look after the baby anymore.“So have you hired a professional caretaker to look after Bonnie?”“Yes, that’ll be better for her. You don’t need to spend time taking care of her as well. You can go to your laboratory to formulate your fragrance just like usual
Hence, Sharon carried Bonnie to the dining room for dinner. The baby girl was quite energetic today. She kept giggling at her and even called her ‘Mama’. Although her pronunciation was not accurate, she got the gist of it.Sharon was oddly touched when she heard Bonnie calling her that. It truly felt like Bonnie was her daughter. She got emotional as tears wetted her eyes.Simon patted her on the shoulder and said softly, “Just let her be your daughter.” It was a way for him to compensate for all the mental turmoil she had gone through.“If she’s willing to acknowledge me as her mother, I’d definitely treat her like my daughter.” She wondered if she liked Bonnie so much because she had just lost her daughter.Right then, they were just like a family of three that were joyously having dinner together. Penelope caught sight of this scene the moment she entered the dining room. Her pupils constricted as her cold gaze landed on Sharon.Why was she back here? She was carrying Bonnie
The flame of jealousy burned within her as it blinded Diana’s sense of reasoning. She rushed toward Sharon with all her might! Penelope got down from the car afterward. She smirked coldly when she saw Diana running toward Sharon in a crazed state. Sharon caught sight of a figure running toward her from the corners of her eyes. She instinctively evaded the figure. Simon spotted Diana as well. Before he could stop to think why Diana was here, he immediately pulled Sharon and Bonnie behind him. However, Diana was way too fast. Her aim was extremely accurate as well. She immediately tried to snatch Bonnie away from Sharon’s arms.“I’m Bonnie’s mother. Give her back to me!” Although she had never cared much about Bonnie in the past and even abused her, she had spent quite a long time with her. They had a mother-daughter relationship as well. She was not willing to give up just like that, especially when she saw Simon cautiously protecting Sharon as she carried Bonnie! Dia
Sharon had only wanted to push Diana away. She did not expect something like this to happen. She was stunned for a few seconds. She finally returned to her senses when Penelope shouted Diana’s name as she ran over to her. “Diana!” Penelope was beyond shocked. When she ran over to help Diana up, she was still conscious. However, blood flowed from her body and the corner of her mouth.“Penelope…” Diana articulated with much difficulty. Her gaze was fixed on Sharon and Bonnie, who were both a distance away from her. She raised her hand and pointed at Sharon. “She…”Penelope angrily swept her gaze across Sharon. She seemed to understand what Diana wanted to say. “Don’t worry, I’ll take the baby back for you. I won’t allow the person who has harmed you to have a good ending either!” She had not put in so much effort to bring Diana away from the villa just for her to die like this. She wanted to snatch Bonnie back so that Sharon would never be able to live happily in the Zachary house
