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
After Simon gave his order to the bodyguard, he turned away and no longer looked back at her. He was akin to a king giving death sentences, nothing but ruthless.“Simon…” Sharon reached out to grab him, but the bodyguard abruptly stopped her.She watched as his figure disappeared. Was he going to break it off with her completely and not allow her to see her son?Penelope was about to head in as well, yet she stared coldly at Sharon and said the final words, “Just wait for Simon’s divorce papers!”It was not her first time forcing Simon and Sharon to get to a divorce, and now he was finally willing to do it. If he had broken off the relationship with this woman earlier, their old father probably would not have died from a heart attack.In short, Sharon was nothing but a scourge!Sharon was stunned at her words. Did he ultimately agree to divorce her?She knew that he definitely would not forgive her this time. But she never expected him to make up his mind so quickly.So, was he
“Did he mean that?”Did he want to hire a lawyer to dismiss her?The lawyer nodded. “Yes, you can just sign after reading the agreement.”Sharon felt her heart tightening. They got married so hastily and he never attached any importance to it. Now that they were getting a divorce, he was even more perfunctory.After thinking about this clearly, they should not have gotten married back then and said it was for the child.If this was really for the good of the child, then why did he ask for a divorce now?One could not believe anything a man said after all.She did not want to look at it initially, but she wanted to know who was going to get the custody of their son in the agreement.Thankfully, she was mentally prepared. However, when she saw in the agreement that he would get the custody of their son and their son would belong to the Zacharys while she would only be given a visitation right of twice a month, she felt the fire of rage in her heart.“If you agreed and signed the
Sharon was startled and looked at the manager incredulously. “Did you just say that… I’m fired?”It was true that she did not come to work for some time, but she took a leave of absence. Also, she did not come to work because she was injured in a car accident. Eugene was the one who approved the leave.They could not consider this as absenteeism and fire her.“Why? What did I do wrong?”“I just received the notice from the superior. Don't you know what you have done?” The manager said impatiently.Sharon became more confused as she listened. Which superior fired her? Did she offend anyone?“Can you be more clear on this? I really don't know.”The manager probably saw that she was working pretty hard and was injured on the job last time, so she calmed down and said, “It's a notice from the president’s office. I'm only responsible for execution.”Sharon was astonished. “Eugene… President Eugene?”Eugene fired her? Impossible. Not possible at all!He offered her to work here so
When he was about to hang up, the woman said in a panic, “Wait, I have something to say!”“Tell me then!”Although they were on the phone, when the woman heard that man’s deep and cold voice, she was able to imagine how cold the man’s face was. She even felt a hint of the man’s threatening oppression.She took a deep breath, and after she recomposed herself, she said, “I want to see you.”“I’m busy.” He did not even think before rejecting her.She was worried that he would hang up the phone again, so she said quickly, “Didn’t you want to divorce me? If you come meet me, I’ll sign the papers.”The man did not say anything. The two of them were silent, and she could hear the man’s light breathing over the phone.The silence undoubtedly tightened her heartstrings. Would he still reject her?The man finally said, “I’ll ask my assistant to arrange a time.” After he said that, he hung up the phone directly.Sharon was not left with a chance to say another word. She stared at her pho
“I’m firing you for your own good. Eugene is a cold-blooded animal who’s never gentle to women. You should leave him as soon as possible so that you can save your own life.” Jim looked as if he was doing this for her own good.Sharon was suspecting whether the Eugene she knew was the same person this President Jim was talking about.A cold-blooded animal? It was difficult for her to believe that Eugene, an elegant gentleman, would be a cold-blooded person.Jim must be deliberately bad-mouthing Eugene to kick her out.“This is all the advice I’ll be giving you. Hurry up and leave.” Jim turned around and walked into the elevator.His arrogant assistant also waved his hand at her. “Go now.”“You…” She watched the doors of the elevator close and the insufferably arrogant Jim disappear behind them. She was furious. How could this guy be Eugene’s brother?She looked at her things that were scattered all over the floor and felt troubled.This was the first time she was fired for such
Simon narrowed his eyes slightly as if he had heard a funny joke. He scoffed and said, “Even if I had the power to do that, I wouldn’t contact the Newtons.”Right, he and Eugene were always in a state of mutual hostility every time they saw each other, so how would it be possible that he had contacted the other Newtons in private?If that was the case, he was admitting that there was a trade war going on between him and Eugene.“Why are you making things hard for Eugene? If it’s because of him offering me help—”“You think too highly of yourself. What does a woman like you have anything to do with the trade war?”Before she could finish, he interrupted her coldly. His eyes were filled with ridicule.Sharon was feeling a little uneasy. It was unsurprising she would think that he was angry because Eugene helped her, so he was now deliberately making things difficult for the Newtons. If it were not for Eugene, she would not have been able to get evidence against Fiona and she would
