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 Ziegler, but these shares are no longer valid.”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 “What do you mean by they’re no longer valid?”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
When he walked out of the Newton household, Eugene ran into Sharon and Simon, who were here to visit the old master.Simon was carrying his daughter in his arms. Bonnie was now a daddy’s girl. Sharon saw him walking out of the house with a despondent expression on his face. She guessed that something must have happened between him and the old master. “Is the old master still unwilling to see you?” she asked. Eugene was slightly down. He was mainly worried about the old master’s health. After all, the old master had passed out twice because he was too angered by his actions.He stuffed one of his hands into his pocket. Suddenly, he felt like smoking a cigarette. However, he realized that he did not have a lighter with him. “You know the old master’s temper. He hasn’t calmed down yet. You should come and see him after a while.” Sharon advised her brother. Eugene reached out his arm and pinched Bonnie’s chubby face. “Do you want me to carry you?” he asked Bonnie. “No!” Bo
Fern met up with Sharon today. Both of them sat opposite each other as they sipped on their coffee in the cafe. Sunlight filtered in from outside the window. There were very few people in the cafe. Sharon stirred the coffee in front of her with a teaspoon. “Have you really decided to stop filming movies?” She thought that Fern’s acting skills were pretty good.“Yes, the entertainment industry doesn’t suit blunt people like me.” She finally understood why Eugene always wanted her to quit the industry. “No matter what you decide to do, I’ll respect your decision.” Sharon had always treated Fern as her sister-in-law. “Thank you.” Fern spoke again after pondering upon it for a while, “I wanted to meet you today to ask you about studying abroad. I remember you mentioned that you’ve studied abroad before.”“Yes, I studied perfume formulation abroad.” Sharon looked straight at her and asked, “Are you planning to study abroad?” Fern nodded and said, “I had to quit school becaus
“Bring her in,” Eugene said. He continued to swing his club at the next ball. Wyatt brought Fern to the golf course. From a distance away, she saw the handsome man being surrounded by a crowd of people. He struck the golf ball, which fell into the hole accurately. Everyone behind him clapped as the woman beside him handed water to him and helped him wipe off his sweat at once. “President Eugene, you’re so capable. I admire you a lot,” the voluptuous woman said coquettishly. Eugene raised his head to drink the water. His sexy Adam’s apple bobbed up and down, charming the woman beside him to no end. She wanted to jump into his arms at once. “President Eugene, Miss Thompson is here.” Wyatt brought Fern in front of her. “Hey, isn’t she Fernie Thompson? The actress who announced that she’s quitting the entertainment industry two days ago?” someone by the side recognized her at once. These people knew about the things between Fern and Eugene. They looked at her with a hos
Fern thought that he was disregarding her good intentions. Was it not a good thing that she was getting along with him peacefully? Why must the relationship between them always be so tense? “I came here to tell you this. If there’s nothing else, I’ll leave first.” She was afraid that they would end up arguing if she continued talking to him. “How long will you be away?” Eugene asked when he saw her taking a few steps away. Fern did not turn around but still replied to him, “Two or three years.” He remained standing on the spot as he watched her walk farther and farther away. There seemed to be a missing piece in his heart. At night, Fern helped Rue organize her clothes. Eugene said that he would be coming over to fetch Rue over tomorrow.“Mommy, are you really going abroad?” Rue did not want to part ways with her. “Yes, you need to study and I need to study as well. It’d be bad if I can’t raise you well in the future, but it’d be worse if I need you to take care of
