Sharon’s reputation had sunk to rock bottom. From the moment she stepped into the doors of the corporation, everyone knew that she, the ‘shameless’ woman, was here. It was no wonder the manager asked to see her immediately.Sharon came to the manager of the designing department’s office. The manager, Lisa, was a successful single career woman in her early 30s. Before this, Lisa was always neutral with Sharon, but Sharon could now see that Lisa’s attitude toward her had changed.Lisa stared at her coldly, and her words were laced with thorns. “Sharon, it hasn’t been too long since you joined the company. How could you seduce President Zachary like those unambitious wh*res? Do you know what will happen to subordinates who try to seduce the president of Central Corporation?”Sharon curled her lips mockingly. “Lisa, are you trying to fire me?”Lisa's pupils constricted as she snorted coldly. “You did such a thing and you still have the cheek to stay in the corporation? If I don’t fire
“Yes, sir,” Franky responded immediately.“Also... ask the IT department to investigate who posted this article,” Simon gave the second order.This was the corporation’s internet forum. How dare this person post this article without thinking? Did they think the management would not be able to trace it back to them since they posted it anonymously? Shaun was bound to find this person eventually. This person would only continue to behave lawlessly if he did not act.Penelope frowned and said, “Why are you bothering to investigate this matter? That person merely exposed the facts. It’s time that you see what kind of person Sharon is. She clearly knows that you two are in a contract marriage that’s supposed to be kept a secret, yet she took the initiative to kiss you so presumptuously in front of everyone during the corporation’s anniversary celebration. Don’t you think she has ulterior motives? I think she’s dying for everyone in the world to know that she’s the president's wife!”Sim
“You’ll help me find out who posted the photos, right?” As this matter was also related to the reputation and prestige of the corporation, he could not possibly ignore it.Simon’s tone was always indifferent and cold. “Why should I help you? Since you’re leaving, why do you still care who did it?”Sharon finally heard his displeasure. Was it because she resigned without telling him first so he was upset now?She secretly wondered how she should explain it to him, but she heard the busy tone that signified the end of a call from the phone. She felt dazed and looked at the phone. Did he hang up the call?She suspected that something was wrong, so she quickly called him back, but she only heard the automated voice telling her that the person she was calling was unable to answer the phone for the time being.Now, she was sure that he had hung up the call on her. This man’s temper was so horrible!Soon after, she discovered that the article and those photos on the forum had been delet
Why did Sharon feel like there was another meaning behind his words? Plus, the look in his eyes… What did he know?If he was able to attend Central Corporation’s anniversary celebration, it meant that he was an insider. She could not let him know about her marriage to Simon.Sharon coughed lightly and changed the subject. “Riley, I’ll put away your clothes for you.” As she said that, she was about to push the suitcase inside.Riley said quickly, “No need, no need. There’ll be someone coming to tidy up later. You’re only responsible for talking to me and getting rid of my boredom.”“Someone? Who?” Sharon was confused.Riley let out a dry chuckle. “Of course, it’s the maid I hired. Look, I have to use crutches to walk now. How could I avoid hiring someone to take care of me?”Sharon understood now. Eugene had specially hired someone to take care of her.She sighed internally again. Eugene was indeed very responsible.“Right, Shar, you should take back the thing you asked me to ke
Riley was shocked. “What do you mean? Weren’t you working just fine in Central Corporation? Did Si—” When she was about to ask if Simon had bullied her, she saw Eugene who was standing at the side and stopped.“I resigned. It’s because of some personal reasons.” Sharon did not say much. She did not want to tell Riley about the photos that appeared on the corporation’s forum. If she did, it would only worry Riley.Riley understood. She patted Sharon’s hand, saying, “It’s awesome that you resigned! You’re a pretty talented designer, so you’ll do well in any company.”Sharon smiled forcefully. Resigned? She was chased out by all of the women in the corporation!“You’re a designer?” Eugene asked suddenly.Sharon looked at him and nodded. “I guess you can say that.” Her confidence was almost obliterated after joining Central Corporation.Eugene looked straight at her with a sincere gaze. “My company coincidentally needs an excellent designer. If you’re willing, why don’t you come work
“The little guy is kicking up a fuss saying that he wants to see you. The old man can’t control him, so he’s asking you to pick him up from the Zachary household tonight. You two can stay in the apartment tonight.”Sharon understood. It seemed that her son had started throwing a tantrum again. Douglas might get a headache from getting annoyed by Sebastian, so he allowed her to bring the little guy to stay with her. However, it was only for one night.Actually, she was extremely reluctant to be separated from her son. However, she was faced with too many troubles right now. Specifically, she had not settled her father’s case so she was worried that she might not be able to take good care of her son if she had him with her. She would feel more at ease letting him stay in the Zachary household.After contemplating for a while, Sharon said, “Okay, I’ll see you in the Zachary household later.”…Sharon’s photos had caused a commotion in the company. Howard was also involved in this and
Fiona sighed. When would she be able to kick Sharon out of the Zachary household if Howard kept behaving like this?She still needed to take matters into her own hands!She took her phone that was on the table and made a call. “Hello, Rebecca? I’ll pick you up after work…”Rebecca did not know why Fiona was looking for her. However, it must be related to Simon.After work, she saw a luxurious Mercedes-Benz parked not far away from her upon walking out of the corporation’s front door. Fiona was waiting for her inside the car.She recomposed herself before walking over.“Aunty Lionel, you could’ve just asked me to come over to you if you needed me. You didn’t have to come over here.”Fiona did not immediately answer her. Instead, she asked the driver to head to the Zachary household.Rebecca looked at her in confusion. “Are we going to the Zachary household?”“Yes, today is the birthday of the eldest sister of the Zachary household. Everyone will be back for dinner,” Fiona final
When Howard walked into the living room, he saw his uncle Simon sitting on the sofa. He walked over to greet him. “Uncle, why are you the only one here? Where’s Grandpa and Aunt?”Simon’s gaze shifted from the financial report in his hands to Howard. His voice was as insipid as always. “They’ll be here soon.”“Is Grandpa in his room? I’ll go see him.” Howard turned around to walk away.“Wait,” Simon said out of the blue.“Is there anything, Uncle?”Simon put down the report in his hand, his tall and lean figure standing up. “Come with me.” He walked toward the courtyard outside the living room.Howard clenched his fists that were by his sides. Actually, Simon was not much older than him. However, he would always feel an unknown pressure when he was facing his uncle.He followed Simon after hesitating for a while.Under the tree outside the courtyard, the uncle and nephew stood facing each other.“Uncle, why do you want to talk to me away from everyone else?” Howard said while
