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
Sharon wanted to say that she did not shed her tears for any man. But whenever she thought of Simon and that the relationship between them was now thoroughly over, her heart would throb uncontrollably.When she heard the Zacharys’ cries outside the ward yesterday, she was still in disbelief that Douglas had indeed passed on after getting stirred up.She suddenly grabbed onto his hand, “Director Zachary… did he… truly died?”There was a flash in Eugene’s eyes, and he was silent for a few moments. Ultimately, he told her the cruel reality, “Yes. The Zachary household had issued a bulletin that the Old Master Zachary had sadly passed away from a heart attack. He wasn’t able to get rescued.”Sharon’s heart started pumping violently. Douglas had truly passed away, and it was even because of a heart attack. Did she and Fiona truly stir him up too badly?…Douglas’s funeral was held solemnly. Almost all the famous people in town came to see him for the very last time.Sharon was dresse
Smack!Before she could finish her word, Penelope’s hand had landed on her face. Then, more cynical and vicious comments followed suit, “Who are you to call me Penelope? You murderer. You still have the gall to show your face around here?”Sharon’s head slanted to the side from her slap. A murderer?Did they genuinely regard her as the culprit who had murdered Douglas?“Vice President Zachary, I just want to see Director Zachary one last time.”Penelope narrowed her eyes and scoffed, “Don’t pretend to be kind. You’re a vicious woman, and I knew from the beginning that you’d be the death of Simon. But I’ve never expected that you’ll kill the old master first!”“I didn’t kill him….”“Shut up! You little scourge, get out of my sight now!”“Vice President Zachary…”“Guards, drag this woman out of here!” Penelope refused to give Sharon a chance to speak. Once she gave her order, the bodyguards acted almost immediately.“Stop, none of you touch her!” Eugene rushed over and immediat
