"Shar, come here." Eugene held out his hand to her, his face maintaining its mild expression. However, there was displeasure in his eyes. He did not like seeing her with Simon."You're not allowed to go over there!" Simon shouted coldly and tried to grab her again.However, she was quick to react this time and ran back to Eugene.Eugene pulled her behind him just in time, holding Simon off."President Zachary, you're getting married tomorrow. You should know where to draw the line. Stop bothering Shar. At least save your fiancée some dignity."Simon did not seem to hear Eugene and kept his gaze on Sharon. She ran away from him and was now hiding behind Eugene. Her actions were a blow to his heart.His hands that were hanging beside him could not help clenching. His black eyes narrowed coldly as he looked at the woman. "Tell me, are you coming with me?"Sharon found him baffling. He wanted to send her away without saying anything, so why should she listen to him?He was always s
Soon after Sharon and Eugene left, Summer and Simon received a gift from Uncle Cuatro, Summer’s uncle.They were currently in the lounge where Summer stared at the gift box on the table with a premonition in her heart.Meanwhile, Simon was sitting on a single-seater couch. His face was still looking gloomy as Sharon had chosen to leave with Eugene earlier.However, his attention was then redirected to the gift box Uncle Cuatro had sent over.As known to the outside world, the men of the Gabriel family did not live over 30 years old. In other words, Summer's father, Uncle Dos, and Uncle Tres had all passed away. Only Uncle Cuatro was left, but he was also weak and sickly.She was the Gabriel family's only heiress, and only she could inherit the Gabriel family. However, there was a rule in the Gabriel family that stipulated she could only fully inherit the Gabriel family upon marrying.Even so, her frail Uncle Cuatro did not want her to inherit the Gabriel family."Open it and tak
...The next day, the grand wedding took place at Gabriel Manor. The guests had already arrived and were seated on the long benches that had been arranged prior.Sharon and Eugene were among the guests. She could not explain her feelings at this moment when she was about to watch Simon marry another woman.However, her intuition told her something was going to happen at the wedding after last night’s events.She was even a little worried about his safety...She wanted to slap herself. She was still so concerned about him at such a time, yet he would not even tell her the truth.Simon stood not far away where he watched Sharon who was in the crowd. 'She’s here. Why won’t she leave?'His eyes darkened when he saw Eugene next to her.He turned to Franky again and said, "When the wedding begins, your job is to ensure her safety no matter what happens."Franky knew who he was referring to and nodded. "Got it, Boss. Don't worry."It was time for the wedding to start. Simon had on a
Such a thing was happening at what was supposed to be a happy wedding, turning the atmosphere depressing and grave.At the moment, Summer felt as though a knife was slicing her heart open when she saw how Joey was covered with blood. He was even forced to kneel, the sight of it making her have the urge to kill someone.She would have pulled out her gun if Simon had not grabbed her."Uncle Cuatro, what are you doing with my bodyguard? Did you beat him up?" Summer clenched her teeth and secretly clenched her fists. She was dying to kill those who had hurt him!Cuatro smiled sinisterly, saying, "Summer, this is supposed to be your big day. Someone as wretched as me shouldn't be here, but I know that you don't want this marriage at all. He's the one you really want to marry, isn't he?" He pointed to Joey who was on his knees.Summer's expression changed slightly, and her eyes glimmered. The next moment, she heard the voices of the guests present discussing while they all threw suspici
"Okay, then I'll take his life!" He pulled the trigger of the gun that was aimed at Joey."Wait!" A cold yet hardened female voice rang out.Everyone looked over only to see Old Madam Gabriel walking in with someone’s assistance.Summer hurried over, saying, "Grandma, why are you here?"Grandma was in poor health, so they had left her to rest in the house. They had planned to wait until the wedding reception to let her appear and give a few words.Old Madam Gabriel patted Summer's hand and reassured her, saying, "Don't worry, Summer. With Grandma around, no one can meddle with your inheritance right."Cuatro's eyes darkened, the hatred in them intensifying."Cuatro, you shouldn't be here. Put the gun down and let the kid go,” Old Madam Gabriel said unhurriedly.The people present were confused. 'How did a perfectly good wedding turn into a TV drama where the Gabriel family is fighting for the inheritance right?'Sharon looked at Simon who was in a groom's tux and noticed that
"Grandma..." Summer hugged the falling old lady, warm blood immediately covering her hands. She cried and pleaded with fear, "Grandma, no. Don't leave us, no..."Old Madam Gabriel gasped heavily. Her old hand gripped Summer tightly as she appeared to be trying to say something. However, it was difficult for her to even utter a word. Upon taking her last breath, she let go of her hand and let it fall beside her."Grandma!" Summer held her grandmother in her arms and wailed aloud. Great sorrow and anger took over her!She pulled out a gun and pointed it at Cuatro, bellowing in hatred, "How could you be so cruel? Even if Grandma was wrong, she was the one who raised you. You cruel and unscrupulous b*stard, I'm taking your worthless life on behalf of Grandma!"Undeterred, Cuatro looked up and sneered. He pointed his gun at Joey, saying, "Let's see whether you’ll manage to shoot me dead before I shoot him dead!”The gun Summer was holding in her hand trembled. 'Joey...'"Miss Gabriel,
The pain spread from her left shoulder to her entire body, and blood continued to pour out from her wound. The smell of blood made Sharon feel dizzy, and she wondered if her life would end today.She had no idea where she mustered the bravery to run out and take the bullet for him.Seeing the man’s fierce-looking face and the inconcealable panic in his eyes, she unconsciously smiled. "You saved me so many times, so it's my turn... to save you this time. I... I don't owe you anymore."Simon yelled when he saw that she was about to faint, "Don't fall asleep! Open your eyes and look at me! Who said you don't owe me anymore? Sharon, I'm telling you, there's so much that you owe me still. Your life is mine, do you hear that?"Sharon wanted to smile again, but she realized she did not have much strength left, so she could only whisper, "Yeah. My life is yours... You can have it back now."Franky had already called an ambulance. At this time, he could only pray that Sharon could be stron
As they made their way to the hospital, Simon held the woman tightly in his arms. The usually calm man was no longer calm at all. He held her hand tightly and kept talking to her lest she closed her eyes.Sharon felt exhausted and just wanted to get some sleep, but Simon kept talking in her ears. He would call out her name as soon as she wanted to close her eyes.'Why didn’t I find him so talkative before?'"Can't... you be quiet for a minute?" she managed to say.She did not know that at this moment, not only was her face drained of all color but also her lips. At this sight of her, Simon felt a burst of pain in his heart."No, look at me. Don't close your eyes!" Simon commanded bossily before urging the driver to drive faster.In a trance, Sharon squinted her eyes at him. Her head was resting on his shoulder, and up close, she could see the tension and fear in the man's eyes.'Is he afraid? Fear doesn't seem to apply to him.'However, she could feel his fear. 'Is he afraid th
