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
Quinn Newton’s old face had already become so somber that it was shocking. He stared straight at his grandson, but Eugene pretended he did not see it.He walked straight to Sharon’s side. “Are you okay? Did they hurt you? If they did, I’ll break their hands right now.”Sharon’s heart shook, and she raised her head in shock. He had so casually said something that vicious. It was completely different from his usual calm and gentle self.Could it really be as Jim Newton had said? Was he actually a really terrifying person?Suddenly, she felt that all of the Newton family members were very frightening. She did not dare to get too close to Eugene anymore either.Shaking her head mechanically and taking a step back automatically, she kept her distance from him. “N-No.” Probably because she was feeling too confused, she momentarily forgot that she just had her blood drawn by a sh*tty doctor.“You’re really alright?” Eugene scanned her up and down.Sharon lowered her eyes, not wanting t
Sharon sat in Simon’s car as they left the Newton household together.She was still faintly out of it. She had been shocked yet again just now. The two of them had guns in their hands. If one of them had accidentally pulled the trigger, the consequences were unthinkable.Especially to someone like her, who had just experienced a shooting, even seeing a gun would affect her psychologically.Seeing her blanched face, Simon grasped her hand. “Still thinking about what happened earlier?”Turning to meet his black eyes, she wanted to shake her head but still nodded honestly in the end.The man’s eyes darkened. He pulled her into his arms and let her lean on his shoulder. “Sorry, I didn’t take good care of you and made you suffer a shock.”Leaning against him, she finally felt a little steadier and gripped his large hand. “This isn’t your fault. However… can you promise me one thing?”“Say it.”She raised her head to look at the man’s well-defined face. “Can you not casually wave a g
