Eugene cleaned his shirt in the bathroom. He no longer wanted to keep the suit jacket. “Daddy, leave your clothes here. I’ll wash them for you,” Rue told him before he left. “It’s difficult to wash a suit jacket. You don’t have to do it.” Even if he wanted someone to wash it for him, Fern should be the one washing it. However, she would never wash his clothes for him. “Can you take care of her on your own?” Eugene noticed that Fern had fallen asleep after having some hangover tea. Rue nodded and said, “I can do it. You have to believe in me, Daddy.” He caressed his daughter’s head and said, “I’ll leave first.” Rue’s gaze darkened. She wanted him to stay, but she knew that he could not do that. “Daddy, take care on the way home.” The tall man crouched down and kissed her on the forehead. “Don’t tell your mother that I was here.” Rue pondered upon it for a while. She understood his intentions. “Don’t worry, I won’t tell her.” He smiled faintly and said, “You c
After feeling conflicted for a long time, Fern finally decided to dial Eugene’s number. Eugene was getting ready to have breakfast when he received her call. He thought that Rue had called him again. He picked up the call without thinking twice. “Hello, Ru—” Before he could finish speaking, Fern’s cold voice rang out, “Eugene Newton.” He stopped talking. His expression changed as he spoke to her in a mocking tone. “Didn’t we sign an agreement stating that we’ll never contact each other ever again? Why are you calling me?” “I just wanted to tell you that I was drunk yesterday night. I called you by accident. Regardless of what I said, it was all just drunk talk. Don’t take any of it seriously.” “Oh? But I took it seriously.” Eugene thought about it for a while. Rue must have told her that she had called him herself. “You… What did you take seriously? I didn’t even say anything yesterday night!” Actually, she did not remember what she had said last night. “You called m
“Thank you,” Lucas said with a delighted expression on his face. He did not expect her to agree to his requests so quickly. Fern sighed inwardly. Actually, she never really wanted to set up an agency with Jeremy. As Lucas had mentioned, even if they managed to set up an agency, it would be extremely hard for them to run it. ...Sharon carried her daughter to the Newton household to visit her mother today. Her mother’s emotions had stabilized a lot. She had become a lot more clear-headed as well. Perhaps it was because Sharon frequently accompanied her and she had been receiving continuous treatment. There was a stone table and some stone chairs under the pear tree in the courtyard. Sharon sat at the stone table with her mother as she carried her daughter in her arms. “You’re Bonnie, right? I’m your grandmother. Call me ‘Grandma’.” When Autumn saw Bonnie, she felt like she was looking at Sharon back when she was young. She adored her dearly. “Mom, Bonnie isn’t at the age
“Given your attitude, I’d also sue you if I were here,” Sharon said in a disgusted tone. “Stop talking nonsense. If Simon raped you, would you sue him?” Eugene sneered in distaste. Sharon raised her brow and cast a sideways glance at him. “He can get a little domineering at times, but he won’t do something so animalistic.” As a woman, she stood on Fern’s side. Eugene continued to sneer at her mockingly. “You’d better pray that he’ll never do something like that to you.”“He’ll never do that!” Sharon replied firmly. Eugene did not want to argue with her. He poured another cup of water for himself. Sharon looked at the expression on his face and asked, “Hey, do you want me to help you out?” Given his stubborn attitude, she was afraid that he would miss out on his beloved woman just like that. Eugene looked at her curiously and asked, “How will you help me?” “That’s simple. I’ll tell Fern about your situation, including the reason why you broke up with her so harshly b
“Let’s get in the car.” Simon carried his daughter with one of his arms as he wrapped his other arm around Sharon’s waist. The three of them got into the car and headed home happily. The car had not traveled far when Bonnie fell asleep in Simon’s arms. This was one of her habits. She always fell asleep once she was in the car. They stopped speaking so that they would not disrupt the baby’s sleep. They were about to arrive at the Zachary household. Just as they were about to make a turn ahead, the car came to an emergency brake. The chauffeur caught sight of a figure rushing out in front of the car! Screech! The loud sound the car made pierced their ears as the car suddenly came to a stop. Sharon and Simon, who were both seated in the backseat, were thrown forward in their seats. Luckily, they had put on their safety belts. Simon held Bonnie tightly in his arms. The baby girl was sleeping soundly in his arms. She did not get startled. However, his brows still furrowed t
Sharon brought Quincy back to the Zachary household and called the family doctor over to help her treat her wounds. Dayton had shot her in her leg. Luckily, the bullet had simply grazed her skin. It was not lodged in her flesh. However, she was still quite seriously injured. The doctor spent some time bandaging her wounds. Sharon called some servants over and asked them to help Quincy wash up and give her a fresh change of clothes. Finally, Quincy did not look as disheveled anymore. Sharon handed Bonnie to Simon. She would be accompanying Quincy. The dining table was filled with scrumptious dishes. Quincy seemed to have starved for some time. She stuffed the food into her mouth while taking large bites. She had long forgotten the etiquette and concerns that came with being the young missus of the Lane family. “Eat slowly. If it isn’t enough, I’ll ask them to cook more for you.” Sharon was afraid that she would choke on her food when she saw the way she was eating. Qui
She told Sharon about everything honestly. Sharon thought that everything she had experienced in the past had been tumultuous. However, Quincy’s experience seemed much tougher in comparison to hers.After all, Quincy even lost her parents and her home. It was her mission to take revenge for them. Sharon could not help but sigh aloud. “How do you want me to help you go against Dayton Night?” Quincy looked at her with a surprised expression on her face. She then said, “You don’t need to help me go against him. This is between me and him. I don’t want to involve anyone else in this matter.” After going through this incident, she did not want to trouble anyone else anymore.Sharon then added, “It isn’t easy to defeat Dayton Night.“I know that he’s a shameless man, and he’s a smart one at that. Besides, he’s harsh and cruel. It’s hard to defeat him. However, if the Newton and Zachary households join forces, it’s possible to defeat him.” Sharon was not exaggerating. She was confi
A battle was about to begin. The tension in the atmosphere was palpable. Nevertheless, there was not a hint of nervousness on Sharon’s face. She and Simon were both extremely calm. After all, they had experienced plenty of obstacles before. She swept her gaze across Dayton’s men, who were preparing to take action against them. She could not help but burst into laughter.Dayton had a gloomy expression on his face. “Why are you laughing?” “I’m laughing at you. You want to find her so badly, but you don’t believe anything that I say. If you continue wasting time staying here, she’ll be able to run farther away,” Sharon articulated slowly. Dayton was suspicious of her words. Had Quincy really left? Was she not here? However, he quickly refuted this thought. This must be part of Sharon’s plan. He could not trust her. He had been fooled by her twice. She had helped Quincy escape on both occasions. He finally realized that now. He had only brought her over to counsel Quin
