After a while, he said calmly, “I took her for a test.” “What test?” Fern’s premonition only grew stronger. The next moment when she heard the man's answer, she almost dropped the phone! The man enunciated each syllable, “Paternity test.” This time, it was her turn to be silent. She was unable to say anything for a while as her heart was shocked! After a long while, she said with a trembling voice, “You… You…” Her hands and body were shaking while her heart was shrouded in fear. What did he know? Why did he suddenly bring Rue for a paternity test? “Are you crazy? Why did you do a paternity test? Rue has nothing to do with you!” “I didn't say it was a paternity test with me. Why are you nervous?” His voice sounded light and nonchalant but it felt like he was mocking her for giving herself away. “Rue Thompson... Why is her last name Thompson? Don't tell me that her father's surname is also Thompson,” he asked abruptly. Fern tried to calm herself down and coldly rebuked,
Eugene’s men pushed Fern and Rue into the car forcefully. They then brought them to another one of his residences outside the Newton household, Midhill Villa. Fern got dragged into a large room, and the door was slammed shut with a loud bang. She turned around and saw Eugene sitting in his wheelchair at the door. His delicate and handsome face was devoid of any emotions. “Eugene Newton! What the heck are you doing? Let me out!” she shouted angrily as he grabbed his collar. “If I let you out, are you going to run away with Rue?” he asked while he narrowed his eyes at her. “I… Run away? What a joke! Why would I run away?” She denied firmly with a stiff expression on her face. “If you weren’t running away, where were you bringing her in the middle of the night with all your luggage?” “I was going on a business trip. It would be easier to take care of her if I brought her along. Can’t I do that?” she questioned him back, blatantly lying through her teeth. She no longer
Were the results of the paternity test out? His hand trembled uncontrollably as he reached out to take hold of his phone! Was Rue Thompson his daughter? Did he wish that she was his daughter? Eugene, who had experienced a near-death event, started feeling terrified at this moment!He did not accept the doctor’s first call. When he called a second time, Eugene only answered it after a moment of hesitation. “Hello?” After speaking, he realized that his throat was dry. It was slightly hoarse too.“President Eugene, the results of the paternity test are out. Based on the results, you and this girl—” “Wait!” Eugene suddenly shouted. His nerves were beyond tense, and his heart was racing as well. He pressed his hand against his chest, feeling like he could no longer handle this. “What’s wrong? President Eugene?” the doctor asked in a confused tone. Eugene took a few breaths to calm himself down. “Continue speaking,” he said. “Alright, you and this girl…” Eugene’s
Sharon headed to the floor that the president’s office was on once she arrived at Simon’s company. She bumped into Xena, who was coming out from the office, when she arrived at the entrance. Both of them almost ran into each other. They stopped in their tracks immediately. Before Sharon could say anything, Xena said, “You’re here, Sharon. Simon is waiting for you inside.” She flashed a radiant and harmless smile at her. Sharon could not stand her overly sweet smile. She smiled faintly at her and nodded her head to respond to her politely. She then walked into the office straight away. Xena glanced at Sharon’s figure with a smile on her face. Nevertheless, a cold glint was flashing across her eyes. She clenched her hands into fists and walked away silently. She must find out what kind of illness Sharon had! Since Sharon was here, Franky excused himself from the office. “Are you still busy?” she asked as she smiled, tilting her head to look at the handsome man sitt
Sharon and Simon returned to the Zachary household to pick up their son. Xena went along with them as well. Penelope was overjoyed when she heard that Simon would be returning home, but the smile on her face instantly disappeared when she saw Sharon with him. She did not know that Sharon would be coming over with him. This was the first time they were meeting each other since Sharon’s return.Penelope narrowed her eyes at Sharon as she glared at her coldly. She sneered at her mockingly, “Isn’t this Miss Newton from the Newton household? So are you Sienna Newton or Sharon Jeans now?” “Sister…” Simon said. He knew that she did not like Sharon, and he had expected that Penelope would make things difficult for her as well. He was just about to speak up for Sharon when he got interrupted by Penelope. “Don’t call me your sister. Do you still treat me as your sister? You announced your engagement without discussing anything with me prior. Let me tell you, I’ll never agree to th
“Is it possible for me not to be angry? Sharon Jeans hurt Simon so badly back then. How dare she come back and get married to him again? How can there be someone as shameless as her?” Penelope questioned angrily. It was getting harder for her to suppress the overwhelming fury within her. Xena had the same thoughts as Penelope. She did not understand how Sharon could be so shameless. Why would Simon fall for a woman like that? She pretended to comfort Penelope by speaking up for Sharon, “Aunt Penelope, perhaps we’ve yet to realize her strengths. Maybe she treats Simon extremely well. Otherwise, he wouldn’t refuse to marry anyone else except her. Just let them get married if they want to. Everything’s fine as long as Simon is happy,” she said. “From the moment I got to know her up till now, I’ve never discovered any of her strengths! She’s only a burden to Simon. This cannot be. I won’t allow them to get married!” Penelope shouted as she slammed her hand against the table. Xena
“Don’t you want to marry my uncle so badly because you like him?” he asked her in return. “I… Of course, it’s because I like him. I want to be his wife so that I can love him and take care of him!” Howard smiled and said, “You don’t have to be so perturbed. I believe that you don’t have any ulterior motives.” He managed to read her mind instantly. Xena huffed irritatedly and said, “If you like Sharon, pursue her yourself. If she agrees to get together with you, Simon won’t be able to stop her either. Why must you work with me?” “That’s because working together is the only way to separate them .” Xena looked at him in disbelief. She shook her head. “You’re being too full of yourself. Let me repeat myself once again. I won’t work with you. Please don’t harass me anymore,” she told him. After speaking, she turned around and left without a moment of hesitation. After taking two steps, she suddenly remembered something. She turned around to look at him. “What’s wrong
Sebastian immediately refuted after registering her words, “You can’t do that! We’re a family. How can you leave me behind and spend time on your own? It’s alright if you usually don’t bother about me, but you’re not even going to bring me on a holiday? I don’t agree!” He protested. It seemed like he had quite a number of complaints. He wanted to follow them no matter what. Sharon knocked on his head and said, “We didn’t say we’re not bringing you along. Why are you so agitated?” Sebastian hugged her arm and said, “Mommy, I won’t let go of you.” “Alright, alright. Hold onto me if you want to,” she said. She had not spent time with him for two years. He was now much more independent than he had been in the past. Since she was back now, she had to spend more time with her son. Simon felt the urge to pull Sebastian off Sharon when he saw him clinging to her so tightly. If it were not for the fact that they had not seen each other in such a long time, he would not allow t
