“Are you still trying to lie to me, Simon Zachary? Don’t think I don’t know anything. The night of your sister’s birthday, Rebecca stayed at the Zachary household overnight, didn’t she? You… slept with her, didn’t you?” She could not hold it back in the end.Simon’s handsome face turned a few shades stormier. When he recalled what happened that night, all he knew was that he had had an acute allergic reaction and ended up unconscious. He did not know what Rebecca did at the time, but when he woke up and saw her lying next to him, he had chased her out.What made Sharon think he had slept with her?His silence made Sharon even more certain that something had happened between him and Rebecca. She forced down the twisting pain in her chest and turned around to continue mashing up the herbs with the stone.She looked quite masterful as she did it, as though it was not her first time doing something like this. It was the same as when she easily attacked the snake’s fatal weak spots earl
Soon enough, Franky appeared with the rescue team.“President Zachary, Madam! Are you alright?” Franky hurried up to them. He was taken aback when he saw how injured the two of them were.“Hurry, he’s really badly hurt! Save him!” Sharon was only worried about Simon’s injuries.Franky immediately called the rescue helicopter over here and helped the two of them onto the chopper.There was already medical personnel onboard, and they treated Simon and Sharon as soon as the two of them were loaded onto the helicopter.“Treat his wounds first. I’m fine.” Sharon’s heart twisted in her chest when she saw Simon turning gradually paler.Simon could tell that she was still anxious, so he reached his large hand over to hold her cold fingers. He was extremely weak now, but he still smiled at her. “I won’t die.”As soon as he said that, though, his eyes closed despite his best efforts. His hand fell away from hers.“Simon!” Sharon felt her head spin too.…When Sharon’s eyes flew open, s
It seemed he was pretty seriously injured, after all. He was usually such a strong and domineering man, but now he was lying here because he had tried to protect her. There was no way she would not be touched by that.Even though he was unconscious, his handsome face looked as noble as ever.Sharon tried to get closer to him, but Rebecca stopped her, yelling at her harshly, “It’s your fault he ended up like this. How could you have the nerve to come here after that?”Sharon wanted to retort at first, but… There was a chance that Rebecca would soon be his wife, right? She was now scolding Sharon as the future Mrs. Zachary. What could Sharon say to that?Besides, it was her fault that caused the accident and put Simon in this state. She should not have tried to grab the phone from him while she was driving.At the same time, he had been unreasonable. He should not have taken her phone away and forbidden her from answering the call.“I’m just here to see how badly he’s hurt,” Sharon
Sebastian glared at Fiona with a ferociousness that rivaled any adult, saying fiercely, “My Mommy isn’t a curse. You are, you old hag!”Fiona immediately lost her temper. “Y-You uncultured brat! I’ll teach you a lesson if your mother won’t…” She raised her hand to hit the boy.Sharon quickly pulled her son into her arms, looking at Fiona coldly as she said without warmth, “Fiona, I’m hurt but not dead. I don’t need you to teach my son any lessons.”Fiona’s eyes flashed with cold malice. “How could a cursed witch like you teach your son anything? Looks like we should get you away from our Simon and the boy too, or else you’ll just ruin him.”She even looked at Douglas and asked, “Don’t you agree, Dad?”Sharon’s expression darkened. Her son had always been her bottom line. Right now, she was already living away from him. She would not be able to accept it if they forbade her from meeting him further.“Fiona, I’m his mother. How I teach him is up to me, and you have no right to butt
“Dad, the doctor said you’re really badly hurt. Are you better now?”Simon still looked rather weak right now, his handsome face overly pale. At the same time, he had a sickly beauty to him.While he seemed weak, his gaze was as sharp as ever. He immediately noticed that Sharon’s face was swollen, and his eyes narrowed. “What happened to your face?”Sharon had nearly forgotten that she had just been slapped. It was too late for her to hide it.“Dad, that mean Aunty hit my Mommy!” Sebastian ratted Penelope out without hesitation.“Sebastian…” Sharon could not stop her son in time. Why bother telling him? Simon was not going to hold it against his sister for her sake.Simon frowned. “Penelope, did you hit Sharon?”Penelope glared at Sharon. She had purposely shown Simon her face, huh? She even made her son defend her! What a scheming witch!“That’s right, I hit her.” Penelope was not afraid to admit it, either. She did not believe that Simon would blame her for Sharon’s sake.“I
Sharon’s heart twisted painfully, her throat becoming dry and bitter. She pretended to look down at her son.The picture she saw was real. If Simon had really slept with Rebecca, why was he still clinging to her?Fiona looked at Sharon, who seemed dazed, and laughed to herself. She even added, “Don’t try to run away from it, Simon. I’ll defend Rebecca.”“What are you talking about? What did Simon do to Rebecca?” Penelope looked at Fiona sternly.Douglas looked at them with a frown. He did not understand, either.Rebecca was panicking slightly now. She knew what Fiona wanted to say, because Fiona had seen that photograph of her and Simon in her phone. Fiona thought that they had slept together.Simon was expressionless, his sharp eyes cold. He pressed his lips together wordlessly.“Aunty Lionel, don’t…” Rebecca wanted to stop Fiona. Simon’s silence was making her heart tremble.Instead, Fiona grabbed her phone from her. “Why are you acting shy? If it’s happened, you gotta face i
Fiona’s eyes flashed. She was even more anxious than Rebecca, saying hurriedly, “Simon, are you trying to get away with what you did to Rebecca? Would you swear that the photo was fake?”“Aunty Lionel, please stop.” Rebecca wanted to delete the photo right now.However, Fiona was certain that something had happened between them, and she insisted on having Simon take the responsibility. That way, she could force him to divorce Sharon as soon as possible.Simon curled his lips coldly. “I was unconscious the entire night. Tell me, how did I sleep with you in that state??”Rebecca’s face turned red and pale in flashes. She wanted nothing more than to hide in a hole now.“So you’re the one who tried to seduce Simon!” Penelope glared at Rebecca coldly.“I… I…”“C’mon, Rebecca, what are you scared of? Tell us honestly, what did he do to you?” Fiona was beginning to panic too. Could the picture be fake?Sharon appraised Rebecca, confused. Had she misunderstood Simon?Simon did not say
Douglas stood next to them. When he saw how the mother and son were reluctant to part, his lined face turned dark. He was not ruthlessly trying to separate them, but he just could not bring himself to accept Sharon.Once he took Sebastian away, he left without saying a word to Sharon.To be honest, Sharon wanted to ask Douglas something. Had Simon decided to take responsibility for what he did to Rebecca and marry her?However, the words were stuck on the tip of her tongue. Why should she be so concerned about that?Sharon lay in her bed, but her heart could not rest. Simon’s room was not far away. Was Rebecca taking care of him in there?Knock knock knock. There was a rap on the door.Sharon blinked. Could it be a nurse?“Come in.”The person who came in was not a nurse but Eugene Newton, armed with a bouquet of fresh flowers and a fruit basket.“Why are you here?” Sharon asked.“My employee was injured. As your employer, why shouldn’t I be here?” Eugene approached her with
