Sharon could feel herself getting light-headed, and her whole body was about to fall to the ground. Fern quickly reached out her hands to support her.“Careful!”“Sienna!” Gladys hurriedly helped support her as well.Sharon’s breathing was growing anxious as she gripped Gladys’ hand. Finally, she asked her in a deep voice, “Who told you this? Who told you he got into an accident?”“I… I just received a call from the police. They called the lab and told me to notify you.” Gladys could see how pale Sharon’s complexion had gotten and dared not say anything more.Sharon got up and weakly sat on her chair. She was entirely in a trance. If it were a call from the police, that would mean Eugene had genuinely gotten into a car accident…N-No! This was not possible!She abruptly got up and dashed toward the door, quickening her pace. She had to go and look for Eugene!When she reached the entrance, she rammed into someone and the man’s big hands immediately caught her in time. “Where
Sharon looked behind the rescuers and could not seem to see Eugene’s figure being lifted up.She grabbed the rescuer who was at the front and asked, “Hello, sir. Where’s my brother? Did you manage to find him?”The rescuer looked solemn and shook his head while saying, “There was no one inside the car. We searched the parameters and didn’t find anyone. So the preliminary judgment is that… he might have gotten thrown out of the car and rolled further down the cliff.”Further down the cliff…Sharon had also seen it when she first came. The cliff seemed almost like a bottomless pit. If he had fallen further down… would Eugene even have any chances of survival?She was in a daze at the moment. Meanwhile, Fern, who was standing next to her, could feel her legs going soft. She immediately fell to the ground.“Fern…” Sharon turned her head to look and saw that Fern’s complexion had turned pale. She was even trembling violently. This news must be such a massive blow to her.“No… He’ll b
Right now, however, Sharon was just hoping that she would be able to find Eugene as soon as possible.It had already been one whole day and night. If he had been injured, the possibilities would only become grimmer the longer time dragged on. The designer that Simon had hired was extremely efficient. In just two days, he had handed Sharon the drawing of the new packaging design. "Take a look at this design and see what you think? If there's no problem with it, we’ll switch to this." Simon came into the laboratory.Sharon took the design from him; she liked it at first glance. "This will do. I like the style of this design."She then immediately instructed Gladys, who was beside her, "Please hand this drawing over to the manufacturing plant and request them to hurry up and replace the packaging.""Yes, Sienna." When Gladys took the drawing, a cold gleam flashed through her lowered eyes.Now that only Simon and Sharon were in the office, Sharon's gaze turned from the closed do
Sharon appeared calm and did not look shaken at all. It could be that she had already suspected Glady earlier on and now that she was exposed, she was not surprised."Tell me, why did you do this? Or did I disappoint you somehow?" Glady actually planned on destroying all her perfumes!It was bad enough that she had secretly leaked her perfume formula, but Sharon did not think she would have done anything worse.Glady gripped the stick in her hand tighter. It was only at this moment she realized she had been set up.The plan began the moment Sharon talked about replacing the packaging with a new one. Sharon had even deliberately passed the new designs to her.She foolishly thought that Sharon really trusted her and she had disguised herself well without giving herself away. There was no way she could talk herself out of this situation now that she had been caught. "Sienna, you're not the one who let me down, I’m the one who did," Glady said shamefully as she suppressed the pani
It had already been four days since something happened to Eugene. People from the Zachary and Newton families had practically overturned the mountains yet still found no trace of him. Sharon had a hunch that he was still alive. It was just that they had not found him. “I’ll try my best,” said Simon with a slight nod. He really did not want to see her worrying over another man even though it was her brother. The next day, Sharon’s perfume was released as scheduled. Not only that, a launch event for the new product had also been organized.As the ambassador for the perfume, Fern naturally had to be on stage, but she did not look like she was in the right state of mind. She had been waiting to receive news on Eugene these few days that she could hardly fall asleep at night.He had cruelly abandoned her back then and broke up with her without giving any room for arguments. It had put her through so many painful days. She should be hating him. She should not even be sad if he were
Sharon looked at the reporter who asked the question. Considering she had the guts to release her perfume into the market as per scheduled and expose DK’s crime publicly, it was a given that she had come fully prepared.“I wouldn’t be making this incident public if I didn’t have the evidence. But I guess I’m also to blame for trusting the wrong person. I was betrayed by my own assistant. She secretly sold my formula to DK and I’ve already sent her to the police station for this.”The reason why she was conveying all of this through the media was to set an example for everyone. It was also to let the people in the same industry know that she would not allow herself to be bullied even though her brand had just been established and she was a newcomer.“Also, I already have a lawyer and DK should be expecting summons from the court soon.” What she meant by this was that she was going to sue DK. Noting her victory in hand, everyone also believed that she was the victim while DK was t
Fern was at a shoot for the newest advertisement for Sharon’s perfume. She was not in the best condition and the director had called cut many times now. When the shooting finally ended, the sky was already dark.Sharon had been watching at the side the whole time, but she did not blame Fern for her lackluster performance today. After the day’s work, she turned to Fern and said, “Go get dressed. I’ll treat you to dinner tonight.”Fern felt guilty about having dragged everyone’s work progress and was embarrassed to accept her invitation to dinner. “It's alright, I’ll just simply have dinner at home. Thank you, though.”“You need to take better care of yourself. Look at you, you’re already so thin. If you still don’t eat, you’re going to faint.” Sharon refused her rejection and continued, “We’ll head back and bring Rue with us for dinner. I haven’t seen her in a while.”Fern was thinking of rejecting Sharon’s offer. She looked at Sharon, wanting to say something but ended up stopp
Simon read the contents of the text on the phone. [Sienna, don’t let Austin take control of the corporation.]The text came from an anonymous sender and was sent from an unrecognized number. At that moment, she could not be certain whether or not it was sent to her by Eugene.She had no choice but to let Simon see the text.“What do you think? Was this sent to me by my brother?”Simon’s brows furrowed as he stared at the text, muttering, “It’s possible.”“In that case, he was indeed rescued by someone after the accident. But he can’t show himself for some reason?”“Call this number and see if anyone picks up,” Simon suggested.Sharon had already thought of doing that earlier, so she immediately made the call.“It’s an unregistered number.” She was astonished. If it really was Eugene, then why did he cancel the number the moment he sent the text?“I’ll get Franky to look up this number,” said Simon.“The question now is whether I should follow what’s written in the text?” This
