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
“Grandpa, you can’t send someone to harass her again!” Eugene’s tone was heavy.“Hmph, what I’m doing isn’t harassment. I’m just bringing my granddaughter home!” Quinn scoffed unpleasantly.Dr. Warner’s report on the DNA test result had already been sent over. Sharon Jeans really was the granddaughter of the Newton family who had been missing all these years!Since she was a member of the Newton family, naturally, he had to bring her back. He could not let her continue to wander in the outside world.“Grandpa, at this point, she still doesn’t know about her own identity. Not to mention the way you had sent those people to kidnap her! No matter how many people you send over this time, she’s not going to come back.”“What else does she want? She can’t possibly expect an old man like me to go get her myself?” Quinn’s face was stiff. To this day, there had not been anyone who received such honor.He paused before abruptly while squinting his old eyes to look directly at Eugene, comma
Sharon finally accepted Simon’s arrangements and returned to work at Central Corporation. Since everybody knew about their marriage now, she did not need to hide it anymore.Simon originally wanted to arrange for her to become his secretary. This way, he could look after her 24/7.However, she refused.It was already outrageous that she had entered the company using her relationship with him. She did not want to clock into work and do nothing. She still wanted to be a designer.Fortunately, Simon did not force it and allowed her to report to the Design Department.Sharon had just finished a design draft when her phone rang suddenly. Seeing that the caller was Eugene, she hesitated for a moment before answering it.“Hello?”“Shar, are you free now? I want to see you. There’s something I have to say to you.”Hearing his tone, he seemed to have something very important to talk to her about.Sharon glanced at the time. She just so happened to be able to see him for a while.“Alri
Sharon glared at him in disbelief. Annoyed, she said, “What? Even you’ve become as unreasonable as Old Man Newton now?”How could something that her father had left her belong to the Newtons?It was simply ridiculous!“I told you before that there were words and a symbol carved into the jade pendant. Those words are the Newton family’s calligraphy script created by our ancestors, and the symbol is the Newton family’s crest. That jade pendant is a token of the Newton family. That year, Grandpa had given it to my father, but the token went missing later on, and at the same time, my little sister, Sienna Newton, went missing as well.”Hearing his words, Sharon’s face was aghast. She hesitated for a moment before smiling. “You’re not trying to tell me that I’m that missing little sister of yours, are you?”Eugene’s elegant face did not hold any of its usual warmth. Instead, he looked at her without a smile as he said, “Yes. You’re my little sister, Sienna Newton.”Seeing that he was
Sharon felt awkward. She knew that he was intentionally mocking her and he did not believe her words at all.She lowered her eyes, not wanting him to know that she had just met with Eugene Newton. She especially did not want him to find out about what Eugene had said about her being Sienna Newton.The moment she left the coffee shop, she had already made up her mind that regardless of whether Eugene’s words were true or false, she would not return to the Newton household.No matter the past or the future, she was just Sharon Jeans and not Sienna Newton.Simon’s thin lips quirked up slightly as he continued to gaze at her with an unreadable smile. She hastily hid the complicated feelings away in her heart as she reached her hand out to pinch the man’s sleeve. She deliberately flirted with him, saying, “Since you’ve already said that I’m your fiancée, then in the future, I’ll be the wife of this company’s boss. Am I not even allowed to grab a bite when I’m hungry? Are you willing to
“When did I agree to have a child with you?” Sharon asked, the corners of her eyes twitching. “Hmm? Who do you want to have a child with if not with me?” he asked. “You…” It was impossible to talk to him! A hint of a smile appeared in Simon’s gaze when he noticed her frustration. He changed the topic at once. “That means that Eugene is here to apologize to you. Letting him off after he just treated you to coffee is going too easy on him. He should book the most expensive banquet and apologize to you in front of me,” he said. Apologize to her in front of him? It seemed like he really wanted to see Eugene get humiliated in public. ...Sharon decided to meet up with Eugene when Simon and his bodyguards were not around. After that, they both headed to the Newton household to meet Eugene’s grandfather. It was better to resolve some issues as soon as possible. Sharon followed Eugene into the gate of the Newton household. In fact, Sharon had traumatic memories of this place
“If that’s the case, please tell me how exactly we’re abnormal and cold-blooded?” Quinn asked her sternly. He was trying his best to suppress the scorching infuriation blazing in his heart. Sharon raised the corners of her lips. “If you were normal, you wouldn’t have sent someone to kidnap me without telling me anything. If you weren’t cold-blooded, would you have hired a killer to murder me?” she asked. Her question made Quinn shut up. He stared at her coldly with a rigid expression on his face. The atmosphere in the living room instantly turned frigid. It was extremely suffocating. Eugene’s brows creased into a frown. He did not dare to utter a single word. He did not expect Sharon to say such bold words in front of his grandfather. Quinn Newton tightly gripped the armrest of the mahogany chair with a frail hand. He felt slightly out of breath. He had been alive for such a long time, but nobody had ever told him that he was abnormal and cold-blooded! After some time,
Eugene quietly withdrew his arm. "Never mind. From now on, let's not contact each other anymore." He had managed to endure all these years without hearing from Sharon or even meeting her at all. In the future, he would just act as if he had never found his younger sister at all—this was something he felt he could probably manage. Noticing Eugene’s dejected expression, Sharon could not help feeling upset. Even if he had not been her brother and was just an ordinary friend instead, she still felt some affection for him."I'm sorry, Eugene Newton," she said quietly. The only thing she could do was to apologize to him. "Go now. Just go…" Eugene averted his face. Sharon did not hesitate any further. She swore to the oath in front of Quinn Newton and prepared to leave. Glancing at Eugene one last time, she felt the urge to tell him something. However, she felt rather apprehensive and did not really know what to say at that moment. Sharon had been thrilled as soon as she fou
