“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
Simon strode a few steps forward and clasped onto her wrist with his big hand. He exerted his strength and pulled her straight to his side.Sharon immediately fell into the man’s arms, and before she could react, he had already circled his powerful arm around her waist, tightly embracing her in his arms. It was as if he was entitled to be so overbearing over his possession.The two men’s eyes collided with one another, and in a split second, there were flashes of lightning, and the two were in an imposing state of mutual hostility.Eugene narrowed his slightly slanted eyes and curled his lips in an icy manner. “Did you hit her? A big man like you had the gall to lay your hands on a woman?” He squeezed his knuckles, making a cracking sound, and it was as if he was about to charge at Simon at the very next second.Simon wrapped his hand around the woman tightly and was greeting Eugene’s impending attack without fear. He even smiled contemptuously. “She’s my wife. Even if I laid my ha
Sharon pursed her lips and nodded after pausing for quite some time again. “Yes.”Something had exploded in Simon’s chest, and right at that moment, he wanted to strangle her!However, he restrained himself. It was just that he merely exerted more strength on his hands that were squeezing her shoulders as if he wanted to crush her collar bones! He gritted his teeth and spat out one word at a time, “Great… You’re just so awesome! You wanted revenge and even went as far as banded together with Eugene Newton to do it!”Did they know each other a long time ago? Otherwise, why would Eugene even help her?Sharon felt her breath getting suffocated. She endured the pain in her shoulders and shook her head quickly. “It wasn’t like that….”“Then explain to me what it was like!” He interrupted her coldly. His palm was getting so close to her neck that he ought to choke her right here!“Did you or did you not band together with him to get your revenge on the Zacharys, trying to p*ss
She was so blinded by hatred and avenging her father that she barely considered whether or not Douglas would be able to bear the truth.It was a pity that she realized this a little too late…She was in shock for quite some time as she slowly left the corridor. She left the hospital in despair and looked up at the sky.She wanted to ask God if she had done something wrong today.When she woke up, it was already noontime on the very next day. When she opened her eyes, she realized she was in an unfamiliar room.The dark decorative style was very masculine, and truthfully, it was inexplicably depressing.She rubbed on her temples and sat up, wondering where she was. That was when Eugene pushed the door open.“You’re awake,” Eugene said as he walked toward her dressed in a simple casual shirt and trousers.“Where… where am I?” Her head felt a little swollen, as well as her eyes. She must have cried for a long time before fainting.“This is my house, and you’re in my room.” Eugene
