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
However, she had raised this brother of hers with her own two hands. How could she stand handing him over to another woman like this?Simon did not want to provoke his sister further. After all, their mother had died relatively early in life, and his sister was the one who took care of him. As such, he had to give her credit for that.He turned around to look at Sharon behind him and whispered, “Let’s go. I’ll take you to the doctor.” He did not forget about her red and swollen face.He held Sharon’s hand, and she abruptly realized that this was a public setting. She wanted to shove him off, but he held her firmly, not allowing her to break free.The two looked at each other, and she saw the determination in his eyes. It was as if as long as he was there, nothing could go wrong.As if she had been possessed by something, she went along and followed him, letting him lead the way.Penelope was initially planning to stop them, but seeing that Simon’s thoughts were all focused on Sha
When Simon heard her question, his beautiful brows furrowed deeply once more. He pinched her chin and lifted it so that she would be gazing at him.“When did your comprehension skill become this bad? I was asking you to come back to me, not come back to work for me.”Seeing that he was somewhat anxious and annoyed, Sharon felt rather amused by it. Of course, she understood what he meant earlier, but it was better for her to clarify some things.She raised her eyebrows and deliberately responded, “Oh? So you don’t want me to return to your company? See, I told you. I knew that there isn’t one company that’d dare to hire me. They’ll be afraid that something’s wrong with my design. If it kills another person, then that’ll be the end of them.”Simon narrowed his dark eyes. “So, what you’re saying is, you don’t just want to get back together with me but you’d like to come back to the company as well? When did you get so greedy?” His thin lips curled slightly after he was done speaking.
Sharon was wondering why on earth did he bring her here? Then, he got out of the car and stretched his arm out to her. “Come out.”She placed her hand on his palm and got out of the car. That was when she saw a yacht docked by the shore. She wondered if he was planning to take her out to sea?He held onto her hand tightly and walked toward the yacht.“President Zachary,” greeted his subordinates. They were already by the bank, waiting for his arrival.Without uttering another word, he took her straight onto the yacht.“Are we going out to sea?” Sharon could not help but ask.“Yes,” he answered while nodding, no longer being so mysterious about it.Once the two got on the yacht, the captain sailed the vessel out of the dock and headed toward the seas upon receiving Simon’s instruction.They were just in time to watch the sunset. The reddish sun hung like a disc on sea level, and the orange-red sunlight cast a reddish glow on everyone’s faces.It had been a while since she witne
