The inspection agency and the police department had to intervene and investigate the cause of the incident. They had to determine whether Newton Corporation had cut corners or did jerry-building, causing the fiasco.The investigation was done very quickly, and they got the results within the day. After further inspection, they found that Newton Corporation did not cut corners, and the collapse was not due to human error. Instead, it was purely an accident.It was an odd matter indeed. Could it be that the worker was merely too ill-fated? That even a project that had no issue had made him pay the price for nothing? For the next two days, reporters continued to lurk around the construction site in hopes of getting more scoop on the story.Just as everyone was still somewhat puzzled by the ordeal, a reporter went ahead and interviewed Mr. Quill, who was at the site. What Mr. Quill said next was quickly spread across the internet once more.In the interview video, Mr. Quill said that
Sharon had never experienced such a horrible thing before. Even when her nude photos were exposed during her wedding with Howard, no one had thrown an egg at her. She was also not surrounded by so many people who were hurling abuse toward her.The reporters were asking her an endless stream of sharp questions. It was as if she was already regarded as a homicidal maniac!“Security, get rid of them!” Eugene yelled coldly. He was also caught off guard by so many reporters surrounding them so suddenly.“All of you get off!”Before the security guards could gather and run over, an ice-cold male voice sounded with unstoppable force, startling the entire wave of reporters.The hundreds of reporters turned their heads to look at the person. Who on earth possessed such a formidable force?In front of a black Lincoln Stretch Limousine stood a man with a long and stalwart body. He was staring ahead with a stern and grave face and a pair of eagle-like eyes that were filled with coldness.Th
Sharon was also stunned by Simon’s actions at the moment. Did he just openly disclose their relationship?In such turbulent times, people with common sense would try to dissociate themselves from her. However, he chose to announce that she was his woman at such a time!Was he a complete utter fool?Sharon looked at him in disbelief. Her heart was utterly shaken, but at the same time, she was still deeply moved by him. He came over to protect her despite all the rumors, so how could she not be touched by his gesture?Eugene was pushed to the side by the reporters earlier, and he also looked at Simon in amazement at this moment as it could not be denied that he was rather impressed by Simon’s actions.However, his eyebrows furrowed immediately after, especially after seeing Sharon showing a loving gaze toward Simon. The anxiety in his heart grew even more substantial.He could not let Sharon be with Simon…“President Zachary, are you trying to say that Miss Jean here is… your girl
Sharon stared at the man in front of her without blinking. She did not doubt him one bit and knew for sure that he could protect her, but this was a different matter. It was not a question of whether or not he was able to protect her. However, someone had framed her, and she was being labeled as an indirect murderer. As such, the most important thing at the moment was to solve this matter.Hence, she still had to confront Mr. Quill and inquire about who made him say all of those things.Simon held her hand while asking, “Why don’t you take this opportunity to leave Eugene’s company?”She looked at him in silence. Ultimately, she shook her head and said, “Now that something like this has happened, it’d be even more inappropriate for me to leave. Wouldn’t I be labeled as the person who slinks off for fear of being punished?”Simon was by no means trying to force her, so after a moment of silence, he said, “But if you ever change your mind, you can tell me at any time.”…Sharon a
As soon as his words fell, he directed his gaze at Sharon who was standing behind Eugene. His already stern expression became even more solemn.It was as if Eugene realized something was amiss and proceeded to say, “You should step out for a moment, Shar.”Sharon was dying to know what Chairman Newton’s instructions were, but she knew she was unsuited to be here. When she was about to leave, Mr. Holt abruptly stopped her and said, “Are you Miss Jean, the architect?”Since he was questioning her, she had no other options but to halt. “Yes, that’s me. Hello.”“Since you’re the person involved, stay and listen to Chairman Newton’s instructions,” said Mr. Holt.“Oh… Okay.”Eugene had a bad premonition in his heart. He was well aware of his grandpa’s temper, so he was afraid Sharon would be in heaps of trouble this time.“Chairman Newton has asked me to tell the fourth young master that since Miss Jean was the one who caused this matter, then she should be the one to publicly apologi
Sharon had stood around and waited for Eugene for two days, and she was ultimately able to obstruct his path in the company’s underground parking lot.She widened her arms and stopped right in front of his car. If he did not explain things clearly to her, she would not budge from the spot.Eugene got out of the car and looked at her coldly, asking, “What do you want?”Sharon looked at the person in front of her, and his appearance had not changed one bit. He still had the same poise and was the same elegant gentleman, but his attitude toward her had obviously changed.She could feel a sense of alienation and coldness from him as if he did not want to lay his eyes on her at all.Seeing him being so distanced from her, she simply could not understand why he had changed overnight?Was this his grandfather’s instruction as well?“Why? Why did you publicly apologize in my stead?” In her opinion, when an accident occurred, the company should be sorry to the worker who died. Even if th
However, Penelope has been keeping a close watch on him recently, preventing him from meeting up with Sharon.Penelope was furious upon seeing the reports of him publicly admitting that Sharon was his fiancée. She immediately approached him and confronted him face to face. Simon still had the same old answer for Penelope. He told her he had set his mind on Sharon, and it almost caused her to faint from anger. He did not want to provoke his sister any further and thought of taking it slow so that Penelope would get used to the idea of accepting Sharon.Hence, other than being at work, he rarely went out of his way to look for Sharon.Even though that was the case, Penelope still took the liberty to approach Sharon first.At this time, Sharon and Riley were enjoying their cups of coffee while chatting in a cafe. However, Penelope suddenly appeared out of nowhere.Smack!Penelope landed a firm slap across her face as soon as she came in even though it was a public place!There
Sharon had been through so much to be able to live with her son again, so how could she tolerate Penelope disallowing her from seeing her own son?She could barely endure it when Penelope slapped her earlier, but she would not sit still and watch as Penelope took her son away!Sharon’s expression turned cold, and her eyes were filled with sullenness. “Sebastian is my son, Penelope. You have no right to separate us!”“She’s right. You’re not the kid’s parent, so what right do you have to stop letting the child see his own mother?” Riley thought that Penelope was overstepping her boundaries.Penelope’s expression looked stiff, and her eyes were cold and stern when she retorted, “The child belongs to Simon, and I brought Simon up with my own two hands. I surely have the right to deal with matters regarding his son.”She was implying that Simon was not only her younger brother, but she was also the one who raised him and she regarded him as her own son.Hence, she had the right to in
