Sharon immediately understood after hearing Mrs. Hamilton's speech, especially when she saw the look of intrigue on Mrs. Hamilton’s face when she looked at Eugene.'It seems that Mrs. Hamilton has set her eyes on Brother and wants him to be her son-in-law.'She sneaked a peek at her brother beside her. 'Could it be that he had long ago known about Mrs. Hamilton’s intention and that was why he insisted on bringing me over here to get rid of the awkwardness?'While they were talking, Miss Hamilton showed up."Mom, who are you talking to?" Miss Hamilton said with a soft voice that carried the childish tone of a little girl.Sharon could not help but gaze at her with a critical gaze. Miss Hamilton was wearing a white princess gown. Her wavy hair was brushed behind her naturally and she was wearing a crystal crown. 'She really does dress up like a princess.'Today was Miss Hamilton's 20th birthday. She was at her golden age, and her face was full of youth.'If she's paired with Broth
"Hehe, I don't mind." Sharon laughed dryly. If it was not for Eugene saying that the Hamilton family had a good relationship with the Newton family and she should not offend them, she would not be accompanying and chatting with Mrs. Hamilton right now."Oh, Sienna, why do I find you so familiar?" Mrs. Hamilton kept gazing at her with a critical gazeEveryone knew that Sienna had gone missing when she was young. As such, everyone had almost forgotten what she looked like. Besides, women tended to undergo a dramatic change in appearance after the age of 18. If no one had mentioned it, no one would be able to recognize her as Sienna Newton.Hence, Mrs. Hamilton found it weird and thought she had seen her somewhere before.Sharon's smile was rather fake. Suddenly, she thought of the missing person notice that Simon had put up before this.When she returned, she heard that Simon had only just recently started taking down the notice. In other words, he had kept the notice up for two who
"Do you have any idea who designed this dress of mine? Even the money you’ll earn from working for the rest of your life won’t be able to compensate for a single flower on my dress! How dare you spill wine over my dress? Can you pay for it?" Hera pointed at the female server who was on the floor and scolded her.Despite blushing, Fern’s face was still pale. Initially, she only came here as a server who was hired at the very last minute due to the high pay. Indeed, she would not be able to pay for the compensation even if she were forced.She lowered her head, and under the mocking and pitiful gazes of so many people, she could only apologize. She pleaded, "I'm sorry, Miss Hamilton. I really didn't do it on purpose. Please forgive me—”"Forgive you? My dress is ruined because of you! If I forgive you, who’s going to pay for the damages to my dress?” Hera loved this as it made her look even more like a princess. Her favorite item had been ruined, hence it was hard for her to calm her
Mrs. Hamilton was worried about her daughter and quickly summoned the servants of her family. "Hurry, send the young lady back to her room to change into a new set of clothes."Hera ruthlessly retrieved her gaze from the doorway and left the scene under the accompaniment of the servants.At that moment, Sharon was feeling awkward. Judging from Eugene’s face earlier, it did not seem like he would be returning after bringing Fern away.He was supposed to be the one attending this party, yet Sharon was left all alone to deal with Mrs. Hamilton. 'Are there any brothers who will trick their sisters like this?'Mrs. Hamilton was very unhappy, and her gaze that was looking at Sharon became much more hostile.At that moment, someone came to report to her, "Madam, President Zachary has arrived."Indeed, a towering silhouette soon appeared at the entrance. The awkward and weird atmosphere was immediately lifted while everyone's attention shifted to the man who was born with a prestigious a
The man’s strong presence engulfed Sharon. Without lifting her head, Sharon already knew who the man was. Who else could be so daring and always did things as he pleased?'Simon! How dare he follow me here?!'Her breathing was erratic and her heart was beating fast. She was afraid that if this continued, her heart might even suddenly stop.She was absolutely anxious, yet she still tried her best to put on a calm expression. Subconsciously, she wanted to push him away.However, the man was one step ahead of her and he grabbed her wrists before immediately locking them behind her. His towering silhouette then slowly inched closer to her.At that moment, she was completely trapped in the boundaries of the man's power. She could not make a run for it.Her eyes were glittering with anxiety. She lifted her eyes and pretended to be mad as she glared at him. "You again? Didn't I say that I don't know you? What do you want?"Simon's dark eagle eyes that were like a deep pool were staring
Simon took in a breath, his dark eyes staring back at her. His back was against the lighting and his towering silhouette standing right before her, looking like the dark lord.He then chuckled softly and said with a hoarse voice that was filled with mockery, "It’s just a kiss and you’re saying I’m taking you lightly? Then what are you going to say for having given birth to my child?"Sharon's eyes glittered, but she quickly recovered and remained calm. "What child? I don't even know you. Stop talking nonsense and tainting my innocence!"Simon's eyes grew dark, and his huge palm grabbed her wrist, wanting to drag her away.Sharon was shocked. "What do you want now? Let go of me, you maniac!""I'm bringing you to a hospital for a check-up and to see whether or not you've given birth to my child."'He wants to bring me to a hospital for a check-up? Only a fool will follow him!'"Let go of me! Or else I'm going to shout!" 'Damn it. Why was Eugene not around at such a critical hour?
Eugene's eyes were cold and sharp as they stared at Fern's palm-sized face as if he wanted to see through her.She was still wearing the uniform of a server as she had been hired last minute to help with the party. When Hera slapped her, her clothes were also drenched by the alcohol.Eugene felt a pinch in his heart when he recalled her being so lowly and begging Hera for forgiveness on the floor. He could not suppress the flame of rage within him."Answer me! Just how desperate are you for money?!" He suddenly stretched out his hand and grasped her chin, forcing her to lift her face.Under the yellow streetlights, he could clearly see her face that had been hit till it was swollen. He really hated her current pitiful appearance.Fern looked into his eyes, and she did not feel any pain from her red and swollen eyes. However, deep in her heart, she was hurt.She looked at the prestigious man in front of her calmly and smiled. It was a smile filled with self-mockery and pity. "Yeah
If the incident tonight had not happened, she would have gotten her pay for the day and would have been back home to accompany her daughter.She had just hung up the call when not even two seconds later, her phone rang again.When she was about to reject the call, the man's huge hand suddenly stretched out to take the phone. "Why aren't you answering it?"Eugene took the phone and saw the contact name of the caller—’Dear’.'It’s such an intimate nickname. I wonder what relationship she shares with this person?’Fern could not snatch back her phone in time and Eugene had already answered the call. A girl’s childish yet clear voice was heard from the other end of the call. "Mom, are you done with work yet? I'm at home waiting for you to come back to sleep…"Both of them heard the child's voice and their eyes met each other once more. They did not speak a word.'She already has a daughter?'Eugene felt his heart tightening. 'But didn’t I already find out that she had a child two y
