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
“Was it because Fiona had separated you and Howard? So you chose to retaliate against her in this manner?”Sharon felt a sharp twist in her heart, and she burst with heaps of anger, “I wasn’t retaliating! She did this to herself. Not only did she kill Silas, but she also killed my father!”She merely told everyone what Fiona had done. Was this considered retaliation?If he had asked whether it was revenge for her father, then she would gladly admit it.Simon’s pupils shrank upon hearing this. “What do you mean by she killed your father?”The man’s eyes appeared deep and cold as he stared into her eyes. It was simply making her anxious.Sharon could feel her breathing trembling. After a few moments of silence, she responded and took out the diary left behind by Doctor Collins.“Take a look at this. This is the diary of my dad’s attending physician from back then. It contains Fiona’s threat to change my dad’s prescription, killing my father in the process!”Simon frowned as he to
He pressed his big palm onto her chest. The same cold voice sounded on the top of her head, “Do you still have a conscience?”“I’m telling you, Sharon Jeans, if something unfortunate happens to the old master because of what you’ve done. You’ll know what’s coming for you!” He snarled cruelly and turned to walk away.Sharon lowered her gaze and listened to the man’s footsteps as they drifted further and further away. She felt as if everything had been sucked out of her, leaving behind a shell. Then, she leaned against the wall and slowly slid down uncontrollably.She felt somewhat confused. Did she do something wrong?She was merely avenging her father and exposing Fiona’s crimes. What was so wrong with that?Even if Douglas had been stirred up because of her, they could not possibly shift all the blame on her, right?Did he not faint because Fiona had killed his eldest son?What did she do that was so wrong?However, she still could not help but tremble uncontrollably. She wond
She was standing by the hospital bed, and Fiona was lying on it with a pale complexion on her face. Her wrist had been bandaged, and it seemed that she had only bled out a little.She despised her so much before this, wishing that she would pay for her father’s death immediately. However, now that her crimes were out in the open, she was somewhat relieved and no longer harbored so much hatred toward her.Even if Fiona did not die, she would no longer be able to stick around the Zachary household in the future. And the Zacharys would no longer tolerate her.Fiona opened her eyes at this time and noticed Sharon standing next to her bed. She panicked. “What, what are you planning on doing? Are you going to kill me?”Sharon sat down and said indifferently, “Are you afraid of me?”“What could you possibly want now? Are you still unwilling to let me go?” Fiona was more or less sober now, and she had long lost the courage she had when she slashed through her wrist earlier.“I should be
Sharon stood up straight, then looked at Eugene, who suddenly appeared before her. “Why are you here?”“If I didn’t, wouldn’t the Zacharys have bullied you to death by now?”While the two were talking, they barely noticed a tall figure standing at the end of the corridor.Simon was silently glaring at the man and woman distanced not far from him, and his eyes darkened little by little.In the hospital corridor, Sharon was lowering her gaze slightly absent-mindedly.Eugene stood in front of her and was constantly maintaining his elegant posture. “Have you dealt with everything?”She regained her senses after hearing his words and nodded. “Yeah, well. It’s considered done.”“So, does that mean the person who killed your father was punished?”She thought of Fiona trying to commit suicide by slashing her wrist and inwardly sighed. “I can’t truly tell if the result I’ve gotten is considered a punishment for her.”Fiona did cut her wrist, but she was still rescued regardless.What
