Sharon was overwhelmed by his sudden marriage proposal. Was he not just celebrating her birthday with her?Why did it become a marriage proposal?She found it hard to calm down, so she merely stared at him, not knowing what to do.Simon’s dark eyes looked at her deeply and he asked, “Are you unwilling to marry me?”“No, that’s not it… Please get up.”It was not that she was unwilling. On the contrary, she had nearly immediately agreed to it without much thought, but soon, she quickly snapped back to reality.Could they even genuinely get married?“Then I’ll assume that you said yes.” The man stood up, took her hand, and put the diamond ring on her finger without saying anything else.“Hey, you…” She did not have the chance to refuse when he put the diamond ring that was the size of a dove’s egg on her ring finger.“You’re not allowed to take it off,” he said domineeringly.Sharon pursed her lips and said, “I didn’t even agree to it yet…”“I gave you a chance earlier,” the ma
Simon raised his eyebrows at her request and said, “Sure, I can give you the reward first.”He proceeded to make a call and told the person on the other line to commence the job.Sharon was filled with curiosity. Then, after a short while, there were fireworks being set off above the sea’s surface not far away!The splendidly bright fireworks started blooming near the sea, and the beauty of this scene reached a pinnacle. The sight brought nothing but delight to the audience.Then, the fireworks even formed the words ‘Happy Birthday’ in the sky, revealing yet another surprise that he had planned for her birthday!“How is it? Isn’t it beautiful?” The man embraced her while they admired the fireworks by the sea.“It’s gorgeous…” She could not help but gasp in admiration.The man lowered his head to her ear and whispered, “Then shouldn’t you be saying something to me?”Sharon turned her gaze over to meet his eyes, and the light from the blooming fireworks was reflected in them. It
Simon appeared relatively calm when faced with these reporters who seemingly popped up out of nowhere.For someone who had never accepted any interviews before, he went as far as to answer some of the reporters’ questions this time.“Yes. We went out to sea to celebrate Sharon’s birthday last night, and she has accepted my proposal,” Simon said while circling his long arms around Sharon’s waist. It seemed like they were very in love with each other.Sharon looked at him in a puzzled manner. Why was he saying these things to the reporters?Was this not equal to announcing to the world that they would be getting married soon?Sure enough, the reporters immediately asked excitedly, “So does that mean your wedding is under preparation? May we know when the date will be?”“You will be notified when the time comes,” Simon said with a low voice.Sharon was startled by this. She had agreed to his marriage proposal, but she never agreed to get married so soon!The reporters started cong
“Simon, are… Are you talking to me?” She stared at him in a daze. Her ears were still buzzing, but she could not hear a word he said.Simon looked down at the frightened woman in his arms, his heart violently twisting. The bullet had only missed her by the slightest bit. It could have gone through her head and killed her on the spot!It would be impossible for her not to be afraid after experiencing something like this. He felt utterly petrified just thinking about it right now.F*ck! Who would dare to attack his woman like this?As soon as he laid his hands on that b*stard, they would not live to see the light of day!He hugged her petite body tightly and comforted her, saying, “Don’t be afraid anymore. You’re alright.”Sharon could still see his lips moving, and she knew that he was still talking to her. However... she still could not hear him!She abruptly pushed him away, leaving his embrace. Then, she stared at him without blinking. She was feeling extremely nervous and flu
Simon had arranged for Sharon to stay in a single bedroom ward inside the hospital. They had not expected Penelope to show up.Penelope walked in with a stern look on her face and anxiously checked on Simon, scanning him from his head to his toes.“Were you attacked?” Seeing that he was alright and uninjured, just as reported by the media, she secretly breathed a sigh of relief. However, her face still appeared sullen.“You managed to get the news so quickly, Penelope?”“Hmph. Didn’t you read the news? They’re all filled with reports about your attack. How could I not have found out?” Penelope snorted fumingly.“I’m sorry for worrying you, but I’m not hurt. Shar, on the other hand, suffered a slight injury,” said Simon.Penelope looked at Sharon who was lying on the bed. She felt that she was oddly quiet today, motionlessly sitting while merely staring at them.She could not see Sharon’s injury at first glance, so she mockingly said in a rather unpleasant tone, “You were the tar
Seeing that Sharon’s ear was bandaged on one side, it seemed like Simon was really not lying to her. Sharon’s ear was truly injured.It was of no use to talk to someone who could not hear, so Penelope turned back to Simon and asked, “Do you know who hired the killer?”She knew that the Zacharies had many enemies, but she could not think of anyone who dared to do this in broad daylight.Simon proceeded to shake his head. “Franky and a few men are still looking, so I’m waiting around for news.”“Before you find the person, don’t show up in public places. I’ll take care of the company’s affairs.” Penelope was worried that the killer would come again after failing once.“I know how to handle it, Penelope.”Penelope just could not seem to rest easy. She looked at the tall and stalwart man in front of her and had to admit that he was all grown up. He was no longer the same child as he was before.After a moment of silence, she asked him, “Are you really planning on marrying her?”Sim
Simon halted his footstep and waited for Eugene to approach him. His eagle-like eyes were filled with a layer of coldness. Eugene had just approached him, and without a single foreshadowing, Simon clenched his fist and waved it toward him!“You still have the gall to show up here?” Simon stared at him coldly and wanted to land another punch on him.Eugene was not in a defensive stance, so Simon’s punch made him stagger a few steps backward. His head was even tilted to the side, and he tasted hints of blood on the corner of his mouth.He raised his hand to wipe the blood off, and his eyes flashed coldly. When he turned around to look at Simon, his ever so elegant and handsome face was expressionless at this moment. He scowled. “Simon, don’t think that just because you’ve announced Shar as your fiancée that you can stop me from seeing her.”Eugene thought that Simon punched him for no good reason and because he was not allowing him to have any more contact with Sharon.Simon’s thi
He hardly ever came back home, and even if he did, there would always be a cold look on his face. Hence, the servants at home dared not provoke him.“Why are you suddenly back, Fourth Young Master?” A middle-aged female voice sounded from the upstairs corridor, and it seemed like she was about to head downstairs.Eugene looked up and saw that it was the Newton household’s main housekeeper, Kelly. She was known to be his grandpa’s confidant.“Where’s my grandpa?” Eugene asked straightforwardly, his tone naturally unpleasant.Kelly was nearly 50 years old, and her family had been the Newton household’s housekeeper for many generations. After her father died three years ago, she took over the position of being the main housekeeper.It could be said that she handled all of the Newtons’ matters and would be the first person to execute Old Master Newton’s orders.When Kelly saw how enraged Eugene was, she wondered what had happened. Could it be that the grandfather and the grandson duo
