Sharon walked past him and went to Simon’s side. Holding his arm, she pretended to be intimate with him.The scene stung Howard’s eyes. He suppressed his anger and retorted, “Uncle, do you know what kind of a woman she is? And you married her anyway? She betrayed me in the past and gave birth to a random man’s child. Don’t you already know all of this?”Sharon looked at the man on the opposite side with calm eyes. She suddenly realized that she could no longer remember how kind and warm he once was toward her before. How did he turn out like this?She felt disgusted just glancing at the current Howard!There was no change in Simon’s expression, but his eyebrows wrinkled slightly. His eyes were sharp. “Howard, since she’s your aunt now, you have to be more polite with your words in the future.”The sound of footsteps approached, followed by a child’s kiddish voice. “Dad, Mommy, so you guys are over here!”Sebastian ran over and handed her a bottle of juice. “Mommy, I found some yu
He now knew that Grandpa was the person who no one would dare to offend in this household, hence he merely needed his grandpa to back him for anything.Douglas glanced at Fiona and said solemnly, “Alright now, stop making a fuss. You’re so much older. Why are you bickering with a child?”“Dad!” Fiona felt so angry that her chest felt stifled. Even he was saying she was so much older now. Was she genuinely that old?Fiona sat back on the sofa angrily. There was a dark flash in Sharon’s eyes as she smiled and said to her, “Fiona, Sebastian is usually naughty, so pay no mind to him.”“Who are you calling Fiona? Don’t think that just because Simon married you, you’re now a part of the Zacharies!” Fiona shouted reflexively.“Fiona, she’s my wife, so she’s naturally a part of the family. Please be more courteous to her and don’t bully her just because she’s a newcomer,” Simon unhurriedly said as he placed his arm around Sharon’s waist. It was akin to a gesture of him protecting his wife
Sharon frowned at her. The marriage agreement she and Simon signed was for a secret marriage and they would not publicize it. Hence, there would not be a wedding.Sally must have known about this and deliberately brought it up. Was she trying to make a fool of her?Sharon was about to retort when Simon asked Sally in a faint voice, “Is there a need for you to care about this matter?”Being stared at by Simon’s cold and sharp gaze, Sally’s heart jumped a beat as she hurriedly pulled her lips into a smile. “I… I was merely thinking about Sharon. I want her to get everyone’s well wishes, after all.”“Thank you for caring about our affairs, but you’re pregnant right now, so you shouldn’t be putting more on your plate,” Sharon replied to her words, no longer wanting to watch her being so hypocritical.Sally’s expression turned ugly as she quietly clenched her fists. Was Sharon threatening her with the baby to shut her up?Darn it. She must never allow Sharon to enter the Zachary house
If it were not for her pregnant state, she would not have been so courteous toward her.Sally’s sore spot was the child in her belly. She suddenly grabbed Sharon’s hand and pressed it on her stomach. “Weren’t you planning on doing a paternity test on Howard and my baby? Come on, do it! Say, if this baby is gone, will Howard still know that the seed isn’t his?”Sharon saw the insane look in Sally’s eyes, and her nerves tightened up suddenly. “Stop trying to harm me!” She pulled her hand back vigorously, then took a few steps back to keep her distance.She was not afraid of Sally, but she was scared of her doing crazy things to frame her.It did not matter who the child’s father was, but the baby was innocent. She was not cruel enough to kill a small life.Sally giggled when she saw her behavior. “You’re finally afraid?”She paused and stopped laughing. Then, she looked at her hatefully and with much envy. “It’s not like you don’t know how much I love Howard, Sharon. It took me so
Sharon watched as Sally fell and blood flowed from her thighs. She was wailing in pain on the ground.She was utterly terrified and shocked at how cruel Sally was. She even went as far as to murder the child in her stomach!The sound of footsteps was heard running over, and Sharon felt many figures were swaying in front of her. Everyone was panicking as they surrounded Sally.When there was a crowd of people around, Sharon could hear Sally saying that she had pushed her. At the next moment, a slap landed on her face!Fiona devastatingly and angrily shouted, “Sharon, you vicious woman! You killed my grandson! You have to pay for what you’ve done!”Sharon had not recovered from Fiona’s slap when Fiona rushed over and grabbed her neck in a frenzy. She yelled out hoarsely, “You killed my grandson! You’ll have to pay with your life! Pay with your life!”Fiona exerted all her strength to squeeze her neck, making her run out of air. Her face was quickly turning purple. Sharon struggle
At this moment, a single sentence from her son was able to make her feel some warmth. Exactly, it did not matter how outsiders treated her. She still had her son on her side.She was already content just by knowing this.Sally, who was already in excruciating pain while lying on the ground, glared at Sharon in hateful annoyance. She had bet her child’s life to drag Sharon through the mud. How could she let her off the hook so easily now?She looked at Sharon miserably. With a tear-filled face, she said pitifully, “Sharon, I know you hate me for ruining your wedding back then. But my child is innocent. You may attack me… But why couldn’t you leave my child out of it?”Sally’s words ignited Fiona’s anger again. With a vicious look on her face, she wanted to tear Sharon apart. “B*tch, you’ll have to pay for my grandson’s life!” She was about to rush over again.Simon blocked her path with a deep expression on his face. “That’s enough! The ambulance is here, Fiona. Take Sally to the h
The next morning, Riley brought Sebastian out to have fun. Sharon was not in the mood. Plus, she still had to rush designing her draft, hence she did not head outside with them.Sharon did not sleep well the entire night. That day, she still had not received any news from Simon. She was not focused at all when she was drawing on the art paper.At that moment, she heard the sound of the door being knocked on. She retrieved her thoughts, thinking to herself whether it could be Riley and Sebastian who came back early?She came out of her bedroom and opened the door. “Why did you guys come back…” Before she could even finish talking, she felt astonished after seeing the person who was standing at the entrance. “Howard? What are you doing here?”Howard was standing at the doorway with an unkempt appearance. His hair was a mess and his eyes were engorged with blood vessels. Dark circles were seen underneath his eyes, and there was a stubble around his mouth. One glance and she knew that
Howard's mouth was full of the taste of blood. He wiped off the blood at the corner of his mouth. He raised his head and stared ruthlessly at Simon. At that moment, he had lost his mind and disregarded the fact that the person standing before him was his uncle."I want to kill her! She's the one who murdered my child!" His voice was hoarse, and his eyes gleamed with a murderous aura."I didn't…" There was a painful burning sensation in Sharon’s throat after getting grabbed like that. When she spoke, her voice was rough."You murderer, how dare you continue denying?!” Every word that he blurted out was like a cold saber that chopped her into pieces.Whenever Sharon spoke, she would feel the terrible pain around her throat, but she insisted on saying, "I didn't push her. She's the one who fell on purpose. She's the one who mercilessly killed her own child!""Hmph… You're still planning to tell lies even at this point? Why would she want to kill her child? You ought to find better id
