The driver was about to step on the gas when a car abruptly pulled in and blocked their path. The small road in the mountain village was only big enough for one car. As soon as another car opposite them drove in they could not move forward.“Someone’s blocking the path, President Zachary,” The driver reported to the boss who sat behind him.Simon was already agitated and having someone appeared and blocking their path had made him even more upset. Which bastard dared to become his obstacle?Sharon looked through the car’s windshield window. There was a black Bentley parked right ahead, and the license plate number was…She immediately recognized whose car it was and had a bad feeling about it. Sure enough, Eugene stepped out of the car as soon as the next beat of the heart.“Looks like it’s President Eugene,” The driver immediately reported to Simon again.“I can see him,” Simon answered coldly.Eugene was able to come here as soon as the roads were clear. Who on earth could g
“I drove to the resort yesterday, but halfway through driving the car had broken down, and I bumped into him. He was kindly escorting me over, but we unexpectedly encountered landslides on the way there.”Listening to her explanation, Eugene acknowledged what had happened, “That means I truly do owe him a favor.” He paused briefly and patted her shoulder. “Don’t worry about this. I’ll repay this favor for you so you don't have to be indebted to him.”Sharon was confused at his offer and waved him off. “I can’t let you do that. Even if the favor must be repaid, it should be by me anyway.”“Is there any difference whether it’s you or me? Nevertheless, the matter’s been decided,” He promptly concluded for her. In short, she was not permitted to have anything to do with Simon.Sharon felt taken aback from hearing Eugene's sudden conclusion. If anyone else were present at the moment, they would have certainly misunderstood their relationship from seeing Eugene's overprotective feelings
Sharon and the man stared at each other inside the car. The smile on her lips was growing stiff. She had explained so much to him, but was he even listening to her?Perhaps he was still dissatisfied with her explanation.She could no longer maintain the smile on her face, and the man finally said, “So you’re saying I’ve wrongly accused you? That you’re merely trying hard to hide our relationship for the sake of our future? Is that it?”“Of course. Some things aren’t meant to see the light of day, so we have to keep a low profile.”Simon’s face was still unamused. He lifted her chin and said, “Sharon, our relationship isn't going to be kept in the dark forever. Do you understand?”“I know. Just pretend it’s like the time we were married. It was a hidden marriage, but it was still legal.”His expression eased up a little when he heard her words. However, his heart was still a little upset. “How are you going to make it up to me this time?”Make it up? What did she do wrong now?H
“Please spare us, Miss Jean. We… we were just hired to do our job,” The two begged for mercy while wailing in pain.“Who hired you?” She questioned coldly.“It was…” The two had a difficult look on their faces. They seemed to be feeling somewhat apprehensive.Sharon asked for a sharp knife from the bodyguard and squatted down. She deliberately waved the shining blade around in front of the two, saying, “I heard that if a person is dishonest, they’ll never be able to tell another lie if you cut their tongue off. Since you’re refusing to tell me the truth, then I suppose your tongue is useless anyway. I might as well cut it out.”As she said these words, she pointed the sharp knife at one of the thugs’ lips and got ready to slice it open…“I’ll tell you, I’ll tell! Don’t hurt me!” The thug frightfully begged for mercy.“Spill it!” She placed the knife right beside the person’s lips. She was prepared to slice it off if he did not tell the truth.“It… It was Ms. Luke. She gave us mo
Inside an old warehouse, Sharon’s hands were tied behind her back as she laid on the ground. Right next to her were the thugs who had kidnapped her.“I’m telling you, stop struggling. It’s useless…” The thugs laughed shamelessly and maliciously.“*ssholes! Let go of me! If you lay a finger on me, you’ll find get what’s coming!” Sharon glared at them and said in exasperation.“Pfft. Do you think you’re some lady from an aristocratic family? Or perhaps a noble princess? Why can’t we touch you? Hmm?”The hoodlums continued wantonly jeering at her.“You’re right. I’m not some rich family’s daughter, nor am I a princess, but you should know that I am President Simon Zachary’s woman. Think about it very carefully before you try to offend him. It’s best if you let go of me right now!”The hoodlums looked at each other. They were startled because of what she had said. If she genuinely was Simon Zachary’s woman, they could not afford to offend him.“Don’t listen to her nonsensical words.
She let out a cold snort and withdrew her hand. Then, she threw a small black box she had brought with her to the hoodlums. “You can go ahead and make sure the figure’s correct. I don't owe any of you a single penny. Once you’re done counting the money, go ahead and start the show!”“What are you planning on doing, Sally?” Sharon scoffed.Sally looked at her again and sneered, “Why are you in such a hurry?” Then, she raised her head and laughed maniacally. She could not wait for a second longer to witness the look of pain and desperation on Sharon’s face!“Why...Why are you so vicious? Why do you have to keep hurting me!”“You only have yourself to blame. You made Howard divorce me, and I hate you to bits for it!” She wished Sharon would drop dead right there and then. However, she could not let her die off so quickly-she had to torture her and make her experience all sorts of despair beforehand!“Ha… You’ve hated me from the very beginning. Didn’t you cause Manager Cook’s death
“Stop! Or I’ll shoot!” Simon scoffed while aiming a gun he snatched from the cop beside him at Sally.He managed to stop Sally’s impending attack on Sharon, but it still made her tremble slightly, leaving a more profound, bloody wound on Sharon’s neck. Red blood was starting to flow down her body…The stinging pain from her neck was making it hard for Sharon to breathe. However, she was even more worried about Simon, who had a gun in his hand. She did not want him to shoot and kill anyone because of her.Moreover, Sally should not be allowed to die so easily!Simon’s pupil dilated upon witnessing the blood running down Sharon’s neck. He maliciously glared at Sally and said with a murderous intent, “Let her go!”Sally was stunned, but she quickly returned to her senses. She looked at Simon mockingly, a little afraid, but more so unable to accept her current fate. “Do you care about her that much, Simon? Aren’t you afraid that she’ll betray you one day?”“Stop talking nonsense. I t
In the hospital, the doctor was busy bandaging up Sharon’s slash wound on her neck. The location of the wound was dangerous. If Sally had exerted more force, Sharon would have kicked the bucket by now.Once they came out of the hospital, the two sat inside the car, and Sharon could not help but sigh, “Is Mercury in retrograde or something? Why do I keep getting injured?” Simon frowned and said solemnly, “God is telling you to come back to me quickly. I’m the only one who’ll be able to protect you.”Sharon tilted her head to the side and scrutinized him. Finally, she pursed her lips and said, “I have no idea what God is trying to imply, but I know that if you didn’t shoot her in time, I would’ve died by Sally’s hands.” Hence, this meant that he had saved her again.The man stretched his arms out and pulled her into his embrace again. Then, he said in a low voice, “Your life is mine. No one else is allowed to take it!”Although the man’s words were overbearing, it could not be deni
