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
Fern was momentarily shocked. After that, a surge of anger arose within her. She bit down on his lips with all her might! The sharp pain caused Eugene to stop moving. The taste of blood pervaded his senses. He raised his head and fixed a heavy gaze on her. His dark eyes emanated a dangerous aura.“Eugene Newton, you’re being way too much!” She was so infuriated that her body had started to tremble. He was the one who had agreed to terminate her contract. He was the one who had agreed to offer her freedom as well. They were no longer related to one another. However, he had harassed her time and again when he previously told her that he would give her all the freedom she wanted! Was he not being shameless right now? She had never met a man who behaved like such a scumbag before! Eugene did not expect her to have an aversion to his actions. The taste of blood was still on his tongue. His mind was still occupied by the thought of her staying together with Jeremy.He pinned
As the sound of footsteps approached them, the soft voice of a girl rang out. “Mommy, where are you?” It was Rue. She had woken up only to realize that her mother was not in the room. She thought that her mother had left her to go somewhere else once again. Therefore, she rushed out of the room in a hurry to look for her. Fern let out a sigh of relief when she heard her daughter’s voice. Eugene had no choice but to let her go now. “Get up at once. Do you want Rue to see you bullying me?” She stared at him coldly. Eugene did not want to let her go just like that, but he could not let his daughter see him in such a state...He had no choice but to suppress the sense of irritation bubbling within him and let her go.Rue caught sight of Fern. “Mommy, what are you doing here? Why aren’t you sleeping by my side?” She then saw her father. She frowned and stared at them suspiciously. “Mommy, are you going to sleep with Daddy?” Fern immediately tidied her clothes and hair. She
