She had heard that after Sally lost her child, her health worsened by the day.Even so, she did not sympathize with her even in the slightest. Sally was the one who killed her own child, so this was considered her retribution.Sharon had no time to pay attention to the grudges between her and Sally. It was because today, she was here for Fiona.“I haven’t done anything to offend the gods, so why shouldn’t I be here?” Sharon replied coldly and left with her wine glass.Sally tried to stop her, forbidding her from leaving. “Stop right there! I’m not done!”“I have nothing to say to you,” Sharon did not have the patience to deal with her.However, Sally was adamant about blocking her path and stared at her with a sneer. She said, “Why? Do you have a guilty conscience? Is that why you’re refusing to even talk to me?”Sharon frowned at her. Was she here to stir up trouble on purpose?Since Sally was blocking her, she turned around and walked the other way.How could Sally let her
Sharon bit her lip. She had known earlier on that Fiona did not invite her to the birthday party out of goodwill, but she did not expect Fiona and Sally to partner up and frame her.Although… they had partnered up five years ago to harm her, did they not?She just thought the whole situation was amusing. How could these people be fooled by Fiona when they had not figured out the actual situation and go as far as to curse her?Simon's eyebrows started furrowing deeply. Sharon was able to stay calm as she listened to others cursing at her, but he could not."Since everyone is already here, then I'll be introducing her to all of you today. This is my wife, Sharon Jeans. I know my wife's character very well, so please stop your speculation toward her." He remained somewhat polite since those present today were close friends and relatives.However, he was less polite to Fiona. "Apologize to my wife, Fiona." She slandered his wife in front of so many others, and it was something he coul
“Who… Who are you?” Fiona was not able to recognize the person, but she still felt an inexplicable panic.While everyone was looking at the woman, Sharon walked over to stand beside her and said to Fiona, “I already told you that I was going to give you a special gift, Fiona. You haven’t seen this person for a long time now, and I think you’ll be delighted to see her today.” Under Fiona’s puzzled gaze, the person pulled her cloak down, revealing her face.There was another wave of exclamations all around. “Huh? Why is it a nun?”Sheryl had come wearing her habit, and she was staring at Fiona coldly. Fiona almost fainted the moment she saw Sheryl. Her breathing became uneven as she pointed at her while trembling, “How… How are you not dead?”Fiona was obviously horrified when she laid her eyes on Sheryl and asked with a frightened expression. It was as if she had seen a ghost that was here to take her life!The others looked at the two in confusion. A birthday party was suppose
Perhaps Sheryl had begun to think of Silas, so her eyes appeared sorrowful. She lowered her gaze and said in a low voice, “I didn’t share a special relationship with Silas. If you must put a label on us, then I can only say that we were confidants. We appreciated each other, and we were able to have good conversations.”“You’re lying! You wanted to seduce Silas, so don’t spout such noble-sounding lies that you’re merely confidants! There are no purely platonic relationships between men and women!” Fiona flushed with anger.“Your jealousy is still strong as before, Fiona. And it was your jealousy that drove Silas to his death!” Sheryl’s suppressed anger exploded.Fiona’s pupils shrank violently. She became uncontrollably frightened, and her lips were trembling. “What… What nonsense are you sputtering? You shameless woman. Silas is gone now yet you’re still out to get me?“Guards, drag this nun out of my sight!” Fiona suddenly yelled. “Hold it!” Sharon exclaimed and glared at Fiona
Douglas sat on the main sofa, and Penelope was sitting right next to him.Howard sat at the side while Sally went to change out of her clothes.Simon was sitting alone as Sebastian had been taken into the room by the butler.The people standing were Sharon, Sheryl, and Fiona.“Go ahead, tell me what happened.” Douglas’ eyes were locked on Sheryl.“Dad, don’t listen to her...” Fiona anxiously tried to stop him, but Douglas had made up his mind to listen to the story. He immediately interrupted her, “Shut up.”Fiona stared at Sharon and Sheryl bitterly, scowling. “If the two of you say any nonsense, I’ll never forgive you!”Sharon was not at all afraid of Fiona’s threat and patted on Sheryl’s hand lightly. She whispered, “You may start.”Sheryl exchanged glances with her and eased up her emotions. She said, “Actually… Silas’ car accident was not at all an accident. It was because someone had tampered with his car, causing the brakes to malfunction, hence causing an accident.”
The air in the living room instantly turned somewhat thin, and everyone felt that it was getting difficult to breathe.Sharon was the only one overly thrilled. She had finally exposed Fiona for her crimes!The blood on Fiona’s face had left her. She opened her mouth to reprimand and refute her, but she had suddenly become mute, and nothing was coming out of her mouth!“Do you know what you’re saying, Sharon?” Penelope could not help but scowl at her. She hurriedly went to her father’s side, realizing that their old father was getting too agitated.Douglas waved Penelope away, and there was a bloodthirsty look hidden in his murky eyes. He said again with an icy and rigid voice, “What did you say? Say it one more time!”At this moment, the atmosphere in the Zachary household’s living room was solemn and heavy. It was so stifling and suffocating that everyone found that it was getting harder to breathe easily.Sharon could not comprehend the current situation. Why did they regard he
Simon glanced at his seemingly devastated sister-in-law, and his expression remained cold as well. Ultimately, he was not able to stop Sharon.“You said that Fiona destroyed the report, so where did this report come from?” Simon was the calmest in the room.Sharon’s eyes turned somewhat darker. Was he still doubting her?”“When the previous report was burned, she didn’t know that there was a backup for all reports. I have a friend in the police filing room, and I asked him to help me find this one,” Sharon explained rather simply.“Sharon, do you think you can frame my mom with just a report? Even if my dad’s car was tampered with, you can’t say for sure that my mom did it!” Howard, who had been in school for quite some time, finally regained his senses. He immediately stood by his mother’s side and glared at Sharon.“You’re quite right. I wasn’t aware of this secret at first. If it weren’t because of Silas’s death anniversary and me personally hearing Fiona saying that she had ki
“Fiona!” Penelope shouted in horror. She tried to cover her old father’s eyes to prevent him from witnessing the tragic scene, but it was too late.“Mom!” Howard rushed over to snatch the knife.Seeing the scarlet blood flowing out of her wrist, Howard panicked and yelled out, “Ambulance! Call an ambulance!”Everyone was getting frantic while Sharon was the only one standing still and quietly. She calmly looked at them, and the appearance on her face was so cold and ruthless at the moment.No. She was not the only one. Simon was exceptionally calm as well. His bottomless, obsidian eyes were fixated on her.The woman in front of him suddenly became so unfamiliar. She was unlike the Sharon he knew at all. A faint frustration rose in his heart. Even after so long, he barely knew her at all!Howard lifted Fiona and left in a panic. He carried her all the way into the ambulance.The moment they left, Douglas clenched over his chest, and he fainted suddenly after shaking.“Dad!” Pene
