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
Sharon saw that the seats at the two sides of the conference table were full of people. She did not recognize all those uncles in the Newton family at all.Despite everyone there having their eyes on them, she continued holding onto Simon as they walked in.She went straight over to Quinn Newton. “Grandpa, Simon is already my husband. You usually say that we’re all a family anyway, so why can’t I attend the meeting with him? Unless you were only casually saying such things without actually considering him as part of the family?”Quinn narrowed his old eyes and gave her a sidelong glance. He had not even opened his mouth to say anything, yet she already poisoned the well. She really knew how to take preemptive measures!“Sienna, it’s not like that. Although the Zacharies are already considered part of the family, we’re having a Newton family meeting today. Everyone here is a Newton,” Germaine said again.“Stepmother, if you say that only Newtons have the right to attend this meetin
After Sharon said those words, the conference room immediately became so silent that even the sound of a needle being dropped could be heard.She could not help but become nervous at the looks her old and cunning uncles were casting her way. The situation at the moment was tough to face!At this moment, Simon, who had been standing one step behind her the entire time, reached out his hand and clasped hers. Feeling the warmth and strength transmitting from the man’s palms, she instantly gained some confidence.Clap, clap, clap…When nobody said a word, Jim was the first to applaud. He was smiling gleefully as he said, “Sharon, you have guts. I support you!”She actually dared to tell these stubborn old Newtons that she wanted to take Eugene’s place. This bold act could not go unacknowledged! The moment he spoke, the others snapped out of their daze. However, they were still so stunned that they were momentarily at a loss for words.“Jimmy, don’t add to the chaos!” Germaine could
“I realize that you really don’t understand what I said just now, Stepmother. I told you just now that he’s my special consultant. Of course, I’ll be the one managing the company. He’ll only provide me with suggestions and assistance. Do you still need me to explain further?”Germaine shut up indignantly. Was the girl implying that she was dumb?“That’s too much of a hassle. How’s that efficient?” an uncle questioned disdainfully. “Uncle, are you doubting President Zachary’s management skills? Or are you doubting his efficiency?” Sharon asked sharply.The man’s face sank. He had nothing to say to that.Everyone present knew that there was a great disparity between Newton Corporation and the Zachary family’s corporation, which Simon was managing. Simon’s straightforward and efficient style of management was renowned in the field. The fact that he would help oversee their corporation was a great honor!However, they were still a family corporation after all. It was only normal t
Sharon had bought Eugene a month. She really hoped that he would show up after a month as she found the old men in the family difficult to deal with. She had also rid Austin of his chance to climb up the ladder. Although he was not speaking up, he was probably cursing her in his mind at the moment.“Grandpa, what do you think about this plan?” Sharon pretended to be docile. Quinn’s face was stony, and he eyed her expressionlessly without answering her question directly. He merely opted to read the contract he was holding.With this contract, they would not need to worry that Simon would seize Newton Corporation.The other uncles were not as against it as before as well. However, they were not agreeing to it, either.“Since we have a solicitor here, why don’t we sign an agreement stating that you’ll only be temporarily taking over the corporation from Eugene, and I’ll be the one holding management rights while you’ll only execute my decisions on my behalf? You have to report imp
Quinn coughed heavily. “If you have no objections, please help me watch over Sienna until Eugene’s return. The corporation is not a place for games nor experiments.”Sharon was on the verge of retaliating. The old man had said nothing good to her even after she had asked Simon to help her manage the corporation. Now, he was even saying those insulting words when he absolutely did not need to!“Rest assured, Old Master Newton. My fiancée knows her bounds. You should put your trust in her,” Simon said in a distant but also polite way.Sharon and Simon signed the agreement and the contract respectively in front of the solicitor and all the uncles from the Newton family.After the meeting, everyone went their own way.Sharon held Simon’s hand as they walked to the door. She turned to look at him a few times, the corners of her mouth curled up in mirth.Simon stopped in his tracks. He looked down at her with his dark, intense eyes. “If you have something to say, just say it. Don’t kee
