“I have a daddy and a mommy, so I’m not a wild child!” The old man’s words managed to stir Sebastian up, making him immediately jump off the chair as he shouted at him furiously.“How impudent!” Quinn sneered. How dare a little brat challenge him?!His murky old eyes immediately glared at Sharon as he said, “Contact his parents immediately and demand them the compensation for the vase. Ask them to take this kid away as well!”Sharon was getting somewhat angry as well. She knew that the old man had a weird temperament, but he was clearly abusing his authority to hurt a child.“I’ll pay you back for the vase, but how can you bicker with a child at your age? You’ll become a laughing stock if outsiders find out about this,” said Sharon coldly.Quinn snorted back at her. “I’m already a laughing stock for accepting you back into the Newton household! You’re not even his mother, so why are you paying for his mistake? Call his parents over!”“I’m his mother for the time being, so I shoul
Sharon looked at him in astonishment. It was eight million dollars. Was he about to pay up so quickly?She felt that Simon was letting the old man get away with it so lightly!Quinn did not expect Simon to be so frank and straightforward as well. He suddenly said, “Hold on.”The pen in Simon’s hand paused as he looked at the old man in a puzzled manner. Quinn was not uttering a word and merely stared at him for quite some time. It seemed like something had flashed before his murky old eyes.Then, he quickly muttered, “Since you’re being so sincere, President Zachary, why don’t we change the mode of compensation?”Simon put his pen away as his thin lips curled into a half-smile. He asked, “What kind of mode are you speaking of?”Sharon had a bad feeling in her gut when she saw the old man smiling so insincerely.A sharp light flashed across Quinn’s eyes as he said, “I heard that you’ve successfully acquired one of Far East’s projects. As far as I know, the project is huge, and
Only Quinn possessed the right to speak inside the Newton household. His words were not something that Sharon could object to. Hence, Simon managed to move into the house as their guest!The crazier thing was that the old man had even arranged for him to stay in the guest house attached to Malvales Garden.Since she had invited Ceylon to stay in the guest house, then it meant the two of them would be staying together under the same roof.Although the entire guest house was not small and had more than one room, Sharon still felt the air around her becoming thinner with so many people staying here at the same time.The reason why she moved back into the Newton household was to avoid the father and son. Now, however, there was barely anywhere for her to escape to.She thought about moving into her research lab instead, but Ceylon was still staying in the Newton household. She could not possibly leave him here, could she?At this moment, Sharon and her servant brought Simon over to t
They had deliberately acted out the scene on purpose for Mommy to see. However, Daddy was so mean that he actually hit him!Simon stood still and watched as Sharon dragged their son away from him furiously. There was even a slight smile on his lips. Who said that she had stopped caring about her son?Moreover, he did not lose a project for nothing. He could now live in the Newton household and see her every day.Once Sharon pulled her son into the room, she took his clothes off and asked, “Come on, show me where he hit you.”When he turned, she saw that there was a red line across his back. If Simon had exerted more strength, her son’s skin would have torn.Damn! How could Simon do this to his own son?!Sharon was distressed as she asked, “Does it hurt? I’ll apply some ointment on it.”Sebastian shook his head, saying, “It doesn’t hurt that bad. I’m quite used to it.”When Sharon heard this, she immediately furrowed her brows. “You’re used to it? Does he hit you very often?”“
Sharon looked at the man’s handsome face that had a playful expression on it at the moment and took a deep breath. Would he think that she was avoiding him if she refused to get in his car?If she had truly lost her memory and forgotten about him, then there was no need for her to be afraid.To not arouse his suspicions, she curled her lips and calmly said, “Sure. Thank you, President Zachary.” After saying these words, she proceeded to hop into the car.As soon as she sat down, she could hear the man telling the driver to drive. The driver hurriedly stepped on the gas.Sharon was a little startled when she saw the passing scenery out the window. Why did it feel like she had fallen into a trap?When she turned her head, she almost bumped into the man who was almost within reach. She barely noticed when he even closed in on her and subconsciously retreated to the window, putting some distance between them.Looking at how she was avoiding him, Simon felt utterly displeased. He lock
Seeing that he was unresponsive, Sharon could not help but ask, “What is it? You don’t want to write it?”Simon stared at her for a few more seconds before replying, “I’ll do it.”There were already pens and papers in the car. Holding a pen in his slender hand, he quickly wrote on the blank sheet of paper and handed it to her.She had to admire how good his penmanship was, and when she looked at the words written, they stated: [I promise I will never again use physical force when educating my son in the future.]“Your format’s all wrong.” Sharon scoffed while giving the paper back to him.“What’s wrong with it?”“You have to state the words ‘letter of assurance’ on the top and add your signature at the end. Haven’t you written one before?”“Never.”Sharon was slightly surprised and coughed lightly while saying, “Then write it down as I told you earlier.”Simon did not say a word and merely started writing once more. He then asked, “Is it alright now?” It was as if he was humbl
“Simon! I told you that I won’t see a doctor, so even if you tie me up, I’ll not go along!” Sharon could not seem to shake him off. She scoffed at him angrily and anxiously.The man walking in front of her turned around upon hearing this. Before she could react, his big hands clasped onto her shoulders and pressed her whole body against the corridor wall.“Why won’t you see a doctor? What are you afraid of? Or perhaps are you running away from something?” The man’s handsome yet cold face closed in on her. His unfathomable dark eyes were staring right at her sharply.Sharon felt her breathing getting thinner as she stared at him without saying a single word. Her back was tightly pressed onto the cold and hard wall.Once her breathing eased up a little, she was able to calm her thoughts as well.However, the man’s eyes were still as sharp, and she started to feel a tingle on her scalp…After a short while, she suppressed her nerves and concealed the tension in her eyes. Then, she p
“She’s forgotten her son and husband. Do you think that it’s not important?” Simon narrowed his eyes coldly, and a sense of chilliness was exuding all over his body.The doctor felt a chill down his spine as he muttered, “There’s currently no cure for this. However, you can talk more about the past, or relive the scenes she’s gone through. You can even take her to the places she’s been to and let her do any meaningful things from the past. Perhaps doing all of this would bring back some memories into her brain.”Sharon stood up after listening to the doctor’s advice, saying, “There’s no need to do such unnecessary things. I’ve told you, there’s nothing wrong with me, so I don’t need medical treatments. I didn’t even have to see a doctor in the first place.”After she said this, she walked straight out of the doctor’s office.As soon as she walked out, footsteps were closing in on her from behind, and the man hurriedly grabbed her.“President Zachary, you’ve heard what the doctor s
