...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
“Oh, you're awake, Miss Jeans!" The doctor, who had been forced over by Simon to do a checkup on Sharon, was instantly delighted when he saw her opening her eyes.Simon quickly looked over when he heard the exclamation. Indeed, the lady lying on the hospital bed had opened her eyes. She had been unconscious for three days and three nights, and he had been staying by her side for three days and nights.As her unconscious state persisted, his patience began to slowly wear off, and he could not wait much longer. His mind started to develop stray thoughts. 'Is she going to stay unconscious forever?'The anxiety dwelling within him prompted him to call the doctor over once again to conduct a check-up on her.Now, she had suddenly woken up and that left him shocked instead. He stood there for some time, dumbfounded, and did not react.Sharon looked at the man who was not moving an inch. The moment she saw him, she was astonished. That man—the one who was always very strict with tidiness
Sharon stared at the fierce man before her. His face was tense and his brows were knitted into a frown. Even his lips were clenched into a thin line.However, she could obviously see the anxiety within the man's eyes, which was accompanied by a glimpse of terror…She recalled the scene where she got shot before she passed out. He had carried her to the hospital, and she also saw the horror within his eyes back then.A mighty man like him was always domineering and cool, and did not even flinch when he learned that Summer's bridegroom would be shot. However, that moment he was carrying her after she was shot, he had displayed fear.She understood that certain emotions were unable to be concealed. His sense of terror was so genuine. He was sincerely afraid that she would just die.Actually, she did not expect herself to have the courage to block that bullet. When the gun was pointed at him, she could not stop herself from running toward him.Only now that she was recalling the inci
