“Hello, little cousin. I’m your cousin. Why are you so adorable?” Rue looked at Bonnie with an adoring gaze. She suddenly felt like having a young sister as well. Sharon had dressed Bonnie up today. She was dressed in a princess gown. There was a small tiara on her head as well. She looked like Simon and Sharon’s darling little princess. Bonnie looked at them with her large, round eyes. She was shocked by the arrival of so many guests. She threw herself into Sharon’s arms and peeked at everyone else meekly. Her behavior made her look simply adorable. “Little Sister, don’t be afraid. She’s Rue. They’re our uncle and aunt. We’re all a family.” Sebastian had taken up the responsibility of being Bonnie’s elder brother. His gaze then landed on Jeremy. “This is…” He did not admire any celebrities nor did he pay attention to the gossip in the entertainment industry. Naturally, he did not recognize Jeremy. Sharon smiled without saying anything. She waited to see how Fern would in
An unnatural expression flashed across Fern’s face. She did not expect her daughter to have such thoughts. Eugene was shocked. He then caressed his daughter’s head and said, “We can’t fulfill your request.” “Why?” “It’s not a problem for me, but your mother won’t cooperate with me.” Was he not putting all the blame on her? Fern glared at him. What a sly and petty man! “Mommy, why won’t you cooperate with Daddy?” Rue asked. “You’re enough for me.” Even if she were to give birth to another child, the child would not be Eugene’s! “President Eugene, aren’t you misleading your daughter? You clearly know that Fernie and you are no longer in a relationship,” Jeremy interrupted. As expected, his words got Rue’s attention. She immediately looked at her parents and asked, “What does he mean by both of you are no longer in a relationship?” “You should ask your mother that,” Eugene handed the question directly to Fern. Fern’s head hurt. Although Jeremy had said that to p
Sharon fixed her gaze on the corner of the hall that the person disappeared from. She suddenly had a bad premonition. The silhouette of that person she had seen just now looked like Howard Zachary! However, Howard was still in prison right now. How could he be here? She must have seen it wrongly. “What’s wrong? What are you looking at?” Simon noticed her staring at a fixed point in a daze. He looked in the direction that she was looking at.Sharon returned to her senses and shook her head. “It’s nothing.” She then suppressed the uneasiness threatening to rise within her. Penelope had been imprisoned in the suburban villa for many days. In the beginning, she would go against them by scolding and hitting the servants who served her food and took care of her daily necessities. After going against them for a few days, Simon still refused to let her go. Instead, he sent more of his men to look after her. She then stopped causing a ruckus. One of the servants took a lapt
“Yes, I understand.” The call ended at once. “What’s wrong? Is Penelope Zachary causing trouble again?” Sharon asked after hearing the conversation on the phone. “You know that she’s been causing trouble for some time.” Sharon sighed in exasperation. “How long can you keep her locked up like this?” He could not lock her up in that villa for the rest of her life, right? Simon narrowed his eyes. “I’ll lock her up for as long as possible. She’ll be locked up till she knows how to behave and stops fooling around,” he said in a voice that was devoid of any warmth. He had given his sister plenty of chances, but she still continued harming the people around him relentlessly. ...Fern drank a little too much at the night gala. She felt slightly dizzy now. A lot of people recognized Jeremy. He had been dragged off by some people a long time ago. Therefore, Fern was alone. Eugene’s attention was fully focused on her tonight. It was hard for him to take his eyes away from her.
Jeremy met Eugene’s murderous gaze without backing down. He extended his arm and said, “Eugene Newton, let go of her. You’re no longer in a relationship with her. Give her back to me.”His words made it seem like he was in a romantic relationship with Fern and she was already his woman! The implication of his words instantly fueled the flames of anger in Eugene. He was consumed with rage! “Scram!” he shouted coldly. He looked just like a ferocious leopard that would go feral at any time. Fern was already drunk. How could he hand her over to Jeremy? Yes, he was shameless. Although he had terminated his contract with her and told her that he would give her freedom, he still could not completely let go of her.He would only ever behave so shamelessly because of her. Besides, she was the mother of his daughter. Jeremy’s smile grew wider when he noticed that Eugene was angry. “Does that mean that you want to top the social media trends once again for sexually harassing her?” F
As Rue continued staring at Fern, she pursed her lips and replied to her daughter, “No, I’ll go back with you.” She deliberately ignored Eugene’s gaze. A radiant smile formed on Rue’s face after registering her words. She then rushed over to hold her hand. She held Eugene’s hand as well. “That’s great! Let’s go home!” Her mother had not come home in a long time. Eugene smiled instinctively. However, Jeremy’s voice made his face darken once again. “Fernie…” Jeremy looked at Fern. He wanted to say something, but he could not bring himself to say it out loud. Fern looked at him apologetically. “You should go back first. Don’t mind me.” Jeremy was extremely sensible and considerate. He nodded and said, “Alright, take good care of yourself.” He knew that she was doing this for her daughter. She did not want to hurt her daughter’s feelings. “Don’t worry, I’m here. I’ll take good care of her,” Eugene said in a voice that was devoid of any warmth. Jeremy glanced at him and
Before Jenna could grab onto Jeremy’s arm, he moved away from her. He narrowed his eyes and stared at the flirtatious woman in front of him. “Don’t tell me that there are paparazzi hiding nearby. Are you trying to use me to gain popularity?” he asked. Jenna’s hand froze mid-air as an awkward expression formed on her face. She then withdrew her hand and feigned nonchalance as she tidied her long hair. Her red lips twisted into a smirk as she asked, “Even if I want to use you to gain popularity, you’d have to cooperate with me in order for it to work. Isn’t that right?” Jeremy stared at her without saying anything. She took one step forward and whispered to him in a cheery tone, “You’ve gotten pretty close to Fernie lately. Have you guys caught feelings from being an on-screen couple?” Jeremy stuffed one of his hands into his pocket and looked at her with an ambiguous smile. He asked her courteously, “This has nothing to do with you, right?” Although they had filmed a few mov
“Ah…” she exclaimed softly. She covered her mouth as she was afraid that she would wake the others up. She then recognized the person seated on the sofa under the dim light. She patted her chest and asked, “Eugene Newton, what are you doing here instead of sleeping?” His deep and dark gaze was fixed on her in the darkness. After hearing what she said, he raised his right hand and swayed the wine glass in his hand. “I’m drinking. Do you want a glass as well?” He was drinking red wine. The dark burgundy-colored liquid sloshed around in the glass. Eugene’s deep voice sounded exceptionally sexy at night. It was mesmerizing. Fern had calmed down by now. She feigned indifference as she said, “No, thanks.” She then put down the cup and headed back to her room. However, Eugene reached out and pulled her down when she walked past him! She fell in his arms before she could brace herself. She shouted out in surprise. Eugene immediately pressed his finger on her lips and said, “Sh
