Eugene’s smile only faded for a second. Soon, he curved his lips again. “Sure, feel free to join. We’ll see who wins then.”So Simon could get this serious over a woman, too. Very well, he wanted to see how far Simon could go for Sharon.No matter how stupid Sharon might be, even she could tell that the two men had declared war on each other over her now, and their battlefield was the business world. That kind of ticked her off. She was not a trophy for them to fight over.“I appreciate the sentiment, Eugene, but I can take care of myself. There’s no need to trouble you.” She rejected him outright.Eugene seemed to anticipate her rejection, as he was not surprised in the slightest. He just smiled at her and said, “That’s alright. Should you change your mind someday, feel free to come to me whenever.”Simon frowned deeply, a fire of rage burning in his chest. Did that mean Eugene would keep bothering Sharon?“She already rejected you. You can get lost now.” He had never seen someo
This man was hurt so badly but still came here deliberately. Was it only from a fight with Eugene Newton?Sharon’s chest felt suffocated. She was just wondering if she should have a look in the ward next to her when the door was pushed open.She looked up and saw Simon who had returned. He was still in a wheelchair. “Didn’t you leave? Why are you back again?” Sharon stared at him in a huff.Simon’s face was expressionless and his voice was cold. “I’m back to remind you that you’re still the legal wife on my marriage certificate. I’m not dead yet. Don’t think about having any development with Eugene.” After speaking, he told the nurse to push him away. He kept a sullen look on his face. Originally, he came over to talk to her about Rebecca. Unexpectedly, he saw her in Eugene’s embrace.It seemed that he was too over-zealous. He should not have come.Why would she care if anything happened between him and Rebecca? In the ward, Sharon was still staring in the direction of the door. Did
At the door, Sharon was shocked. Panic spread from the bottom of her heart. What did Penelope mean? Would she resort to killing someone? Sharon knew early on that the members of the Zachary family were powerful characters, but she did not expect them to dare to even kill people! She covered her mouth in panic for fear that she would make a sound. Subconsciously, she wanted to leave quietly, but Penelope's next words shocked her again.Penelope said, “As for that Rebecca Lawrence, she usually looks so prim and proper, and even studied abroad, so how could she do such a shameless thing? Putting aside the fact that she caused you an allergic reaction, she even lied on your bed without wearing any clothes. She just wants to take the opportunity to have a relationship with you and then marry into the Zachary family.” Sharon thought she heard it wrongly. So Rebecca was lying? Had she misunderstood Simon? Did they not have a relationship after all? “She thought she can make you take res
Excuse me, I’m not talking back. I’m just defending myself. Can’t I do that when I’ve been falsely accused?” Penelope did not expect Sharon to be so rude. She looked at Simon and said indignantly, “Look, this is the woman you want to marry. She actually disrespects her elders so much!” “Vice President Zachary, didn’t you just say that I’m not allowed to call you sister? You aren’t my elder then,” Sharon said amusedly. “You really have a sharp tongue,” Penelope admonished coldly. “Enough, stop arguing.” Simon finally stepped in and stopped them. There was an imperceptible smile in his eyes while he looked at Sharon. He did not expect that not only was Sharon not afraid of his elder sister, but she could even make her so angry. The eldest sister was right. This woman had a sharp tongue and no conscience. Despite that, he fell under her spell and could not help indulging her. “Penelope, why are you so calculative with a woman who is unworthy and has no manners?” Simon’s tone
Penelope, do take care.” Sharon also became very polite. Seeing Penelope leave, her lips curled upward. As the saying went, one could not be rude to a polite person. It seemed that this was true. At the very least, she did not have to fight with Penelope for now. With a smile still playing at her lips, she turned her head and found Simon’s dark deep eyes staring at her. Instantly, her heart skipped a beat. “Why are you looking at me? Is there something on my face?” She touched her face. “Why did you suddenly remember that you are my wife?” He said coldly. Had she not forgotten her identity after she had Eugene? How could Sharon fail to detect the ridicule in his words? Even so, she could only say that they had misunderstood each other. “I’m sorry.” She apologized to him sincerely. When he heard this, Simon was dumbfounded as he stared fixedly at the woman in front of him. Why did she suddenly apologize? Sharon took a deep breath. She had too many things to tell him, but
Sharon lowered her eyes and organized her thoughts before saying, “I’m sorry for not visiting you during the past two days. I was afraid that you’d still be mad at me.” Simon was silent for a moment before he snorted. “Who did I suffer this injury for? Even if I'm angry, that doesn’t give you the right not to visit.” This woman simply had no conscience. Why was she making excuses? “I was just afraid that you’d get angrier when you saw me, and that it would affect your recovery.” “I thought you were just too busy cuddling Eugene Newton and totally forgot your identity. How could you find the time to visit?” Simon refused to believe her. “I… you’ve misunderstood!” “What's there to misunderstand?” He saw it with his own eyes. How could there be a misunderstanding? “There’s really nothing between Eugene and i. To me, he’s just my boss. That day, he hugged me to comfort me. I was injured at work and he felt sorry about it.” In truth, she still had not figured out what Eugene
“It’ll be the best if you keep to your word. Remember your identity. I don’t accept betrayal,” Simon reminded her in a cold voice. “I knew that you were the best!” In her excitement, she suddenly hugged him.He hummed nonchalantly in response. She tried to let go of him immediately after recalling the fact that he was injured. However, his large palms clasped onto her back tightly, preventing her from leaving his arms. “Did I touch your wound?” Sharon asked anxiously. “Yes…” Simon replied in a low voice. He held her in an embrace, her fragrant scent lingering about his senses. The haze of the past few days dissipated almost instantly. Sharon did not dare to move around. “Let me go at once. If you hurt yourself one more time, it’ll be my fault once again,” she said. His sister would never forgive her for this.Simon sniffed nonchalantly. “Fortunately, you still remember who I suffered all these injuries for,” he remarked. He still did not let go of her. Sharon leaned agains
Sharon’s cheeks flared up with heat. She had believed Rebecca’s words easily without giving it further thought after she told her tearily that Simon had forced himself onto her. After all, no woman would joke about something like that. She would never have expected that Rebecca had lied to her. Besides, she had deliberately taken the photograph at a certain angle in order to cause a misunderstanding. She had believed in Rebecca’s words back then. She did not continue listening to what Rebecca was saying either due to the overwhelming sadness in her heart. Therefore, she had left immediately. She was completely clueless about everything that had happened after that. Simon could read all of her thoughts. She felt like she had no secrets when in front of him. “Alright, I’ll admit that I was upset. I was really angry as well. Even if our marriage was contractual, you shouldn’t have had a relationship with her,” she said. With how things had turned out, she had nothing to be asha
