Then, she heard the host announce, “Designer Jeans, please come on stage. You will be President Zachary’s dance partner tonight. Congratulations!” Applause rang throughout the room. Sharon regained some of her alertness, but that only caused her to be even more shocked. Since when had she become Simon’s dance partner? She had not even taken part in the drawing of numbers. How could she have been picked when she did not even have a number? She turned and glanced at Simon who was standing on stage. There was a crowd between them, but she seemed to catch his eyes glinting mischievously… Sharon did not know how she got pushed up onto the stage, but she was already standing in front of Simon when she regained her senses. The stage lights were even brighter, and his features seemed even more well-defined as they shone on him. He smirked at her with a secretive and haughty expression on his face. It seemed that everything was going according to his plan. She immediately understood h
Her discomfort caused her to forget that she was dancing with the company’s president and that countless gazes filled with jealousy and hatred were directed at her. Especially Rebecca, who was standing beside Douglas. Her nails sank into her palms as she looked at the two waltzing romantically on stage. She felt both wronged and humiliated. She was supposed to be Simon’s dance partner for tonight’s opening dance, but he switched partners in front of everyone. Was this not to humiliate her? What was worse, she had to pretend she did not mind it at all although she was furious. Else, she would be the butt of everyone’s jokes. Simon had blatantly changed the dance partner Douglas chose for him. Naturally, the look on his face was not pleasant either. He put on a poker face as he stared expressionlessly at the stage. When he saw Sharon put her head on Simon’s shoulder, he scowled and found himself even more unable to continue watching. Were they dancing or showing off their relatio
A figure approached her and immediately covered her mouth. She could not tell who it was, but she could tell it was a strange and rough man with a lot of strength! “No… No…” She kept raising her voice in protest as she struggled to push her opponent’s hand away. However, her strength was quickly diminishing. “Good girl, keep quiet…” A rough and strange voice rang in her ears. She could tell he was up to no good! The man used one hand to cover her mouth and the other to forcefully drag her into one of the rooms in the hotel. Sharon was flung onto the bed. She wanted to get up but was horrified to realize her strength was quickly vanishing! Lying helplessly in bed, she raised her gaze to the man standing by the bed. He was a big, burly man who seemed to have coarse manners. “Who… Who are you? What do you want to do to me?” Her terror was evident in her eyes as she panted. The man smiled evilly at her. “You don’t need to know who I am.” Then, he let out a chilling laugh as
Simon ground his foot at that same area a couple more times. Franky, who was behind him, did not dare look at what was going on. When the man was in so much pain that he could not even make a sound, Simon said coldly to Franky, “Drag him out of here and get rid of him!” “Yes, President Zachary!” Franky immediately dragged the man out of the room and closed the door. From the start till the end, he had not dared to even look at Sharon. Simon’s men were stationed both inside and outside the hotel to ensure the anniversary celebration would go along smoothly. Thus, when Franky saw a man dragging Sharon away through the surveillance cameras, he immediately reported it to Simon and found out where they were. Sharon lay on the bed, her consciousness slowly fading. The veins on Simon’s forehead popped when he saw the state she was in. Pulling her up, he gritted his teeth as he bellowed, “Sharon Jeans!” He finally understood what was happening to her when he saw her reddened face
His grip on her chin tightened as he said, “I’ll let you know who I am now!” Then, he lowered his head and kissed her intensely. “Oh…” The man’s lips were slightly cold. Taking a deep breath, he decided to be her antidote. However, someone knocked on the door just then. His eyebrows furrowed together as he stared coldly in the direction where the door was. “Open up! Sharon Jeans, open up!” It was Fiona. She was the one knocking as well.Then, he heard her say, “Dad, Penelope, I saw with my own eyes Sharon hugging a strange man as they walked into this room. She must be getting up to no good with this man behind Simons’ back. She did the same thing with Howard in the past!”Simon’s gaze turned cold. It was Fiona! She had brought his dad and sister along with her? His cold eyes glinted. Was she trying to catch Sharon in the act of adultery? Indeed, Fiona had brought Douglas and Penelope to the door. She swore that Sharon was messing around with another man in the room. Doug
Douglas was so angry that he could not bring himself to look at the sight. “How shameless she is, having relations with another man behind Simon’s back! I’ll drag her out right now!” Fiona replied eagerly as she walked toward the bathroom. Just then, a figure came out of the bathroom. It was Simon, who only had a towel around his waist. Water dripped from his sculpted chest, and his hair was still damp as well. When he saw his father, sister, and sister-in-law, he frowned and asked, “Why did you enter without my permission?” Fiona was shocked when she saw that it was Simon. Her eyes widened as she was rendered speechless. How could it be him? How was it possible that the man Sharon was having relations with was Simon? No! That was not right! It was not what she had planned! The father-daughter duo was also surprised when they saw Simon walk out of the bathroom, but they were not as shocked as Fiona. Douglas furrowed his brows together as he stared at Simon and asked in
It was Sharon. Unable to stand it any longer, Douglas bellowed, “Femme fatale! She really is a femme fatale!” Pointing his cane at Simon, his voice quivered as he said angrily, “I don’t want to see her anymore. You’d better make her move out of the Zachary household. Either that or the two of you get divorced!” Douglas was furious, but he still had his young grandchild Sebastian in mind. That was why he had only asked Sharon to leave the Zachary household and did not force Simon to divorce her. He did not want what had happened the last time to happen again. His little grandchild had made such a fuss and nearly injured himself when he fell out of the tree. He did not want to see Sharon, and the best way to handle things was to have her move out of the house and only return when she wanted to meet the child. If there was a way, he hoped that the child would never have to go near a mother like that again. However, that seemed impossible with the way things were currently. Pen
When Simon returned to the bathroom, he saw that Sharon had nearly submerged her entire person into the bathtub which was filled to the brim with water! He stared at her as he strode over. She could not be left alone for one second in her condition. Frowning, he fished the woman out of the water and said exasperatedly, “Do you have a death wish?” No one expected the woman to retaliate when she left the cool water. Batting away the man’s hand, she submerged herself back into the tub. Simon frowned as he stood by the bathtub and stared at the woman. He could not leave her here, and submerging her in cold water was not the way to solve matters. Ignoring the woman’s protests, he fished her out of the bathtub and wrapped her securely with a towel.“Listen to me if you don’t want to continue feeling this discomfort!” The man placed his lips right next to her ear as he spoke in a low voice, stopping her mid-action. Taking the whining woman in his arms, he left the room and walked
