“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
Simon gazed longingly at the woman lying before him on the sofa. His stare became gradually intense. "Why are you being like this tonight?" he asked in a low, mellifluous voice.Sharon raised her brows. "Don't you like it?" Her lips curled into a pout. "If you don't like it, we don't have to do anything," she added in a kittenish tone. She was just about to withdraw her arms when Simon held her head. Suddenly, his lips pressed down onto hers. He had moved so swiftly that Sharon did not prepare herself at all! “Mmmh…” This man was still as domineering as ever… She could not resist returning his deep kisses. Simon sensed that Sharon was acting differently from the way she usually behaves. He gradually pulled away from her lips and looked at her with a penetrating gaze. “Is there something on your mind, woman?” Sharon was breathless. She was immersed in the passionate kiss, but he suddenly bombarded her with such a question. The haze that clouded her mind slowly faded.
While everyone was talking about Simon and Sharon's wedding, Sally Luke, who was waiting for Fiona Lionel to finish taking her medicine in a psychiatric hospital located in the suburbs, was watching the television on the wall. An entertainment program was reporting the news about Simon and Sharon’s wedding on television. Sally glowered at the television as hatred arose within her heart. How despicable. Sharon was actually getting married to Simon! Simon had already divorced her. What did she do to seduce and convinced him to marry her again? Not only had Howard forcibly divorced her, but she had now become a wanted criminal as well. Sally could only stay hidden in a psychiatric hospital and look after Fiona Lionel, who was completely crazy. At the thought of this, an overpowering sense of hatred swelled within her, and it refused to be tamed. Hah, do you want to get married that desperately, Sharon Jeans? Do you want to get married into a wealthy family? As long
Riley assisted Sharon and Simon take down their measurements. Their wedding gowns and suits would all be tailor-made at her shop. As Sharon had said, all the goodies must be kept within the family. Riley would be their bridesmaid during the wedding. She had to customize a gown for herself as well. “Why isn’t my godson here yet?” Riley asked, looking at the time. It was already past schooling hours. She had to customize a suit for Sebastian as he would be the page boy during the wedding. “Mummy and daddy, I’m here.”Sebastian, who had already finished school for the day, pushed open the door and ran into the shop. Alfred had sent him over. “You mean boy. Have you forgot your godmother?” Riley asked, feigning a look of distaste. “Godmother, you’ve gotten more pretty!” Sebastian remarked. He was a smooth-talker just like his father. Riley loved Sebastian's compliments. She flashed out into a jolly smile immediately as she took hold of his face and kissed him on the ch
If Eugene Newton was her biological brother, that meant that Jim Newton was her brother as well. An odd expression flashed across Riley's face after Jim Newton walked into the shop. She had started acting abnormally. “Why are you here?” Riley asked. Her crazy playfulness from just now was long gone. She sounded rather nervous instead. “Godmother, who’s this fancily dressed man?” Sebastian asked curiously. “He is…” “Is this your illegitimate son, woman?” Jim asked her suspiciously, interjecting her words. “He is my son,” Sharon said. She walked over and faced Jim directly. Jim seemed to have just discovered the presence of her and Simon, who was standing beside her. “Oh, it’s you. I guess you know your own place after all since you realized that it’s useless to pester my brother. Are you pestering another man now?” Jim asked with a playful smirk on his lips. His gaze moved back and forth between Simon and her. “Pay more attention to your words!” Riley shouted out
Jim pulled Riley toward the side of his car. He had opened the car door and was about to push her onto the car when she flung off his hand.“What the heck are you doing right now? I don’t owe you anything anymore, right?” Riley asked angrily. She rubbed her wrist, which hurt due to his tight grip. Jim cast a sideways glance at her. “It’s not up to you to decide whether you owe me anything or not. If you didn’t damage my shirt, I wouldn’t have embarrassed myself in front of my goddess. You’re the reason why my proposal was a failure. How dare you push the blame onto me?” He asked. Riley gave him a quick once-over after registering what he said. She tried to suppress her laughter. “Tsk tsk, didn’t you say that those women were pestering you? Since you’re so charming, how could your proposal possibly fail? It seems that not all women are blind,” she smirked. She was extremely curious about this goddess that he had mentioned. If she ever had the chance to meet her, she would show
“Cough. New sweetheart? I'm his girlfriend, can’t you tell?” Riley said, hooking her arm around Jim's arm while resting her head on him.Lola was not angry at this. Instead, she smiled disdainfully. “What girlfriend? I've been with him for so long and I never heard that he has a girlfriend.”“Yeah, he found one after I came into the picture. I should inform you now not to come pester him anymore in the future. If not, I won’t be so nice to you.”Lola's face changed when she heard this, but she still did not believe Riley's words.She looked directly at Jim while feeling aggrieved and angry. “Jim, what's the matter with her?”Jim coughed softly. “It’s just as she said.” He crossed his long legs as he watched this drama unfold as if it was none of his concern. Since he had already handed the matter over to Riley, he would not bother about it anymore.“H-How can you do this?” Lola’s eyes went red immediately. It was as if she was about to start crying at any moment.“Then what abou
