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
In the dim study room, the grandfather and grandson stood in silent confrontation. The atmosphere became even more subdued. Even from a distance, Eugene still felt the harsh aura exuding from his grandfather. He always knew that even though his grandfather was old, his ruthlessness had not diminished in the least. He knew that this old man had once killed his brothers to take the position as the head of the Newton family. After a long while, Quinn smiled coldly. “At my age, how much blood do you think has stained my hands?” One more body count would not make a difference at all. “As long as I can clear the obstacles for you, even if my sins are grave, it doesn’t matter if I die and go to hell!” Eugene’s arms that were hanging by his sides were clenched fiercely. “Grandpa, she’s innocent!” “If she’s really innocent, you wouldn’t have stepped forward and apologized on her behalf the last time!” Quinn shouted coldly. Eugene’s words got stuck in his throat as he challenged th
“You dare utter such lies just to save her? Do you think that just because you’re the head of the Newton family now, I dare not use the family law against you?” Eugene knew that his grandfather would not believe him so easily, so he said unhurriedly, “Grandpa, I’m not lying to you. She has a token of the Newton family and I’ve also investigated her background. She was adopted after she went missing. Until now, she still doesn’t know her family history.” It was because he knew her background that he was so protective of her. Quinn remained silent and just looked at him. All of them knew the significance of the Newton family token. It was not something that could be forged by just anyone. After a while, Quinn finally relented. “Okay, I’ll spare her little life first. I want to see if she’s really my granddaughter.” … Three days had passed since the attack and Sharon had been lying in the hospital since. Until now, she still could not hear a sound and was very anxious. She
Sharon gripped the desk behind her with both hands, staring at the thin old face nervously and cautiously. If she had not seen the shadow on the ground, she would have thought she was seeing a ghost. “W-Who are you? Why did you bring me here?” Quinn narrowed his cloudy eyes and examined her sharply. This face was indeed very similar to Sienna’s mother's, especially her scared expression. It was exactly the same as his daughter-in-law's. She was Sienna Newton, his granddaughter? “Get in here!” Quinn shouted. Immediately, Sharon saw a middle-aged woman walking in with two maids. Seeing this scene, she raised her guard as a bad feeling welled up in her heart. She had not regained her hearing. She only saw the old man’s mouth moving without knowing what he said. The three women approached her. “What are you doing? Don’t come near me.” The two maids grabbed her, and the middle-aged woman started to search Sharon. Her hands groped Sharon’s body and even tried to rip off h
However, in her memory, she had never seen him before. Besides, this old man looked really scary. One more look at him would probably give her nightmares at night. “Is the jade pendant yours?” Quinn stared at her and asked abruptly. “Of course, it’s mine!” What did this old man want? Quinn stared at her for another moment before he shouted, “Dr. Warner, come in!” A doctor in a white coat carrying a medical kit walked in and greeted him respectfully, “Old Master Newton.” Old Master Newton? Sharon’s eyes widened suddenly and she stared at the old man without blinking. Could he be Eugene Newton’s grandfather? Before she could ask any questions, Quinn ordered the doctor, “Get to work.” “Yes.” Dr. Warner opened the medicine kit and took out the syringe from inside. Sharon was horrified. “What are you going to do to me?” They were not going to experiment on her, right? Were they going to use the syringe to inject her with something? Drugs? Poison? No matter what, it w
Sharon was taken outside with Quinn. Right at the entrance of the Newton household, two parties were facing each other. She saw Simon looking all cold while standing in front of a dozen bodyguards. That sight alone was already intimidating enough. However, the Newton family was not easy to deal with. Their side also had a dozen people stopping them from taking another step. When Quinn stepped out, his people backed off to make way for him. Upon seeing Sharon, Simon’s handsome face grew colder as he fixed his gaze on her. When he noticed that she was being held by the other party, his black eyes narrowed coldly. How dare they touch her?! “Old Man Newton, the grudges between our two families shouldn’t involve my fiancée, right?” Simon said this lightly, but there was already frost in his eagle-like eyes. Although the two families were business rivals, they had no direct exchanges in private. Today, Quinn Newton blatantly sent people to the hospital to abduct his woman. If h
