After Fern slapped him, her hand began to tremble. She was extremely outraged. Jeremy’s face had been slapped to the side. Five finger marks appeared on his cheek. She had slapped him forcefully, and pain washed over his face.After calming down, he turned around to look at the furious woman. His lips curled into a smirk as he smiled nonchalantly. “Why are you so angry?”Fern glared at him coldly. To be honest, this slap did not douse the burning rage within her at all. She felt like strangling him to death! “How dare you show your face in front of me?” She finally realized what a shameless and brazen man he was. Jeremy stuffed both his hands into his pockets as he leaned against the car. There was a shameless smile on his face. “You were released from the police station. As your best friend, how could I not come here to fetch you?” “Shut up! I was blind in the past for not seeing who you truly are. From now onward, let’s not contact each other anymore. We’re no longer relat
“If you saw your father jumping down a building and your mother committing suicide before your eyes, you’d understand why I’m doing this!” He found it hard to face these memories. Now, he was telling Fern everything.Fern looked at him with a complicated expression on her face. Suddenly, she did not know what to say. After a while, she said, “Your experience deserves sympathy, but this isn’t an excuse for you to take advantage of me. Why must you involve me in your grievances with him?” She was innocent. “That’s because I can only control Eugene by using you.” His words stopped her from speaking. Fern’s heart lurched. “How can you be so sure that I have such a huge influence on him?” “Anyone with logical reasoning can tell how much Eugene cares about you. You just don’t know about it because of your relationship with him.” He scoffed lightly. His words hit her in the heart once again. Was that so? A bystander could see everything more clearly. Did this saying apply to
“Why did the old master kick him out of the Newton household?” Fern asked in confusion. “I wanted to ask him what he’s done as well. He made the old master so angry that he had to be sent into the emergency room twice.” Sharon paused and asked her, “Fern, did anything happen to you?” Her instincts told her that Eugene’s unusual behavior was related to Fern. “I… encountered some troubles.” Fern thought that there was no need to hide anything from Sharon. Fern then told Sharon about everything that had happened to her. “What? You’re telling me that he gave all of his shares in Newton Corporation to Jeremy Ziegler?” Sharon was beyond shocked after registering her words.“It’s no wonder the old master was so angry that he spat out a mouthful of blood. Eugene even got kicked out of the Newton household.” Sharon finally understood everything.Actually, she knew that Eugene only agreed to marry Sydney because the old master forced him to. The old master wanted to stop him from co
Eugene narrowed his eyes as he watched her leave the villa. Unreadable emotions arose in his gaze. Sydney stared at them from a distance away at the corner of the stairs. She had overheard their conversation. She clenched her hands into fists as her body trembled. She understood everything now. She understood why he had left her behind on their wedding day and rushed off. He had gone to handle Fern’s incident. She was his bride. She was his wife who would be accompanying him for his entire life. However, he was so worried about another woman on their wedding day.It was evident that she was nothing compared to Fern Thompson. She found it harder to accept the fact that he had given away all his shares to rescue Fern!To him, was Fern even more important than the Newton household? It went without saying that he had suddenly stepped down from his position as the president of Newton Corporation because of Fern Thompson. Initially, she thought that as long as she got m
Wyatt glanced at Jeremy and told all the shareholders, “President Eugene has indeed given all his shares to Mr. Ziegler, but these shares are no longer valid.” Jeremy’s smile vanished after he heard what he said. He stared at Wyatt coldly and asked, “What do you mean?” Jim was confused as well. “What do you mean by they’re no longer valid?” “The shares that President Eugene owns in Newton Corporation are perfectly fine, but when he handed them to Mr. Ziegler, the 130th clause in the agreement mentions that he needs to be the president of the company for the shares to be valid.” Wyatt looked at Jeremy and said, “Therefore, President Eugene must be the president of Newton Corporation. Otherwise, his shares will be useless once he gives them out. Now that the president of the company is President Jim, President Eugene’s shares are worthless.” An unpleasant expression formed on Jeremy’s face. He suddenly snatched the agreement over from the lawyer and flipped the document to lo
The punches they threw at each other were deadly. It was now a competition of who was more aggressive than the other. Eugene usually worked out, so his combat skills were pretty good. After throwing a few blows at each other, Jeremy had the lower hand.Bang! Eugene kicked Jeremy harshly, causing him to fall to the ground. Eugene then knelt down on one knee and grabbed Jeremy’s collar while he was too weak to get up. He then punched him in the face repeatedly! Fern’s heart lurched when she caught sight of this scene. If Eugene continued hitting Jeremy like this, Jeremy would surely lose his life! She rushed over and hugged him tightly from behind. “Eugene Newton, stop hitting him! If you continue hitting him, he'll lose his life!” Eugene seemed too immersed in beating him up. Rage burned in his gaze as he continued hitting Jeremy without an ounce of empathy. He did not seem to care if Jeremy lost his life.Blood was splattered across Jeremy’s face and head. The scene was t
Fern let out an inward sigh of relief after Jeremy was brought away. She did not want any casualties to arise from this incident.She met Eugene’s dark gaze once she turned around. Her heart lurched at once.There was blood on his face and hands. She asked him, “Are your injuries… serious?”Eugene stared at her without saying anything. His gaze made her slightly anxious.“Eugene…” Just then, Sydney walked over.Fern instantly returned to her senses after hearing her voice. She immediately let go of him as an awkward expression appeared on her face. It was no wonder he was looking at her like that.She just recalled that she had kissed him to stop him from beating Jeremy to death.Did Sydney see it…“About that… It’s alright as long as you’re fine. Your shares… I’ll continue asking Jeremy to return them to you.” She did not dare to look at him anymore. She lowered her head and spoke to him. After that, she turned around and left immediately.Eugene opened his mouth to tell her
Jeremy looked at them in confusion. He nodded and said, “Yes.” “Here’s a statement confirming that you instigated Sarah Lee to carry drugs with her. We need you back at the police station for an investigation,” the police officer said. Fern was stunned after hearing what the officer said. Sarah Lee was the woman who tricked her and told her that she was named Shannon Woods. Jeremy’s expression changed at once. He immediately said, “Are you guys mistaken? I didn’t instigate anyone to do anything. I wouldn’t do anything illegal.” “Other than her statement, we have a voice recording as well. Listen to this.” The police officer took out his phone and played a recording. The recording was approximately three minutes long. It was a conversation between a man and a woman.In the conversation, the man asked the woman to turn herself in and clear Fern’s name. He also promised the woman that he would take care of her family. He guaranteed that her family, especially her sick child, w
