”But…”“Don't you understand what I just said?” Simon frowned and did not give her an opportunity to negotiate with him.Xena’s fingernails were buried deep in her palms. ‘He doesn’t have any evidence, yet he’s chasing me away just because he’s suspecting me? Is Sharon occupying that important of a place in his heart?’After working by Simon’s side for so long, she also knew his temper well. She knew that he would not listen to others once he had made up his mind. No matter how much one pleaded, it would be useless.Feeling aggrieved, she wiped off her tears. “I got it. I’ll head back and hand over my resignation letter.” She reverted to her usual obedient and mature look—except that her eyes were gleaming with hatred.“Get out.” Simon blurted those two words without any emotions.Xena forced out a smile and picked up the documents on the desk before obediently spinning around to leave without saying another word.When she was about to head out of the study, she could not help b
After being injected with an antipyretic medication and taking other medications, as well as sleeping for a whole day, Sharon finally recovered from her sickness.After dealing with some documents, Simon came over to visit her only to find that she was angry.“Why didn’t you call someone over if you're already awake? Who made you angry?” He sat at the side of the bed.She was disgruntled at the words spoken by Howard earlier and had chased him away. The anger within her could not diminish so soon.If Howard had not fled from the scene fast enough, Simon would have seen him.“I…” She coughed the moment she spoke. At that moment, she remembered that her throat was dry and painful.Simon poured her a glass of water. “Drink some water before you talk.”She gulped the big glass of water and felt her throat get much better.Seeing the way she chugged the water made Simon find it hilarious. “Drink it slowly. No one’s going to snatch the drink from you.She handed the glass back to hi
Even if you dare run away, I'll not let you go easily," he said in a harsh tone.After saying it, he immediately lowered his head and kissed her on her lips in a domineering manner that declared his absolute authority.…After Sharon recovered, they left the small island and headed back to the Zachary household.After all, they had to plan their marriage that would be taking place next month. Simon had lots to prepare.The very first thing would be to inform his sister so that she would not disagree with it when the time arrived. Otherwise, the entire ceremony would fail to proceed smoothly."What? You’re having a wedding next month? I disagree with it!" Indeed, the first thing that Penelope said was her disapproval of it.Coincidentally, Xena was around and heard that Simon wanted to get married. She was also astonished. 'This is way too fast!'Doesn't he know that Sharon is sick?'No. He knows about it. Or else he wouldn't have brought Sharon to seek treatment. Is he really
The moment Simon said those words, the atmosphere in the hall immediately froze and all the servants were scared. They had no idea who they should obey.Penelope was annoyed and bellowed coldly, "Why are you guys standing over there? Hurry and chase her out, or do you want me to chase all of you out instead?"Her comment was rather threatening. All the servants were afraid they might lose their jobs. They disregarded the awful expression on Simon's face and wanted to head over to chase Sharon out.Simon's eagle-like eyes darkened as he stretched out his hands. He held Sharon in his arms and snapped at those servants, "Get lost!""Simon, you're still protecting her? She's a crazy woman. You can't marry her!" Penelope was anxious. 'Just what did Sharon do to spellbind him?'"Penelope, please refrain from making such comments. Shar is my wife!" No one could change his mind once he had decided on something.Sharon became anxious when she noticed that Simon and Penelope were about to
Penelope had never been this mad before. She smashed the cups ruthlessly. The servants all held their breaths for fear they would breathe out too loudly.Xena watched Simon and Sharon leave with widened eyes. She felt as though her heart had sunk to the bottom of an abyss.She had never expected that even Penelope would not be able to stop him from marrying Sharon."Aunt Penelope, don't be so angry as it’ll affect your health. Simon won’t be concerned about you if anything happens as his heart only has Sharon."It would be better if she had not said those things. After she said them, Penelope became more exasperated. This time, she even smashed the teapot."Darn it! Sharon should go to hell!" she roared.Xena's eyes glittered ruthlessly. 'Indeed, Sharon should go to hell. If I can't stop Simon from marrying her, then the only way is to make her die. All of this will come to an end then.''But…' She suddenly thought of Howard's warning that she should not harm Sharon!'This is s
"Hmph… Xena, you can quit the act in front of me. Do you know that this face of yours can’t hide anything from me?" Howard said while laughing coldly."You…" Xena was embarrassed and mad. However, she burst into laughter and mocked, "I'd say both you and Sharon are sick!"She wanted to leave the scene, not wanting to say another word to Howard as he was way too suspicious."Xena, you should be very clear by now that my aunty is not able to stop my uncle from getting married. Only with you cooperating with me will you have a better chance of becoming my uncle's wife." Howard faced her back and slowly blurted out the words.Xena's footsteps came to a halt. She wanted to leave the scene and ignore his comment but his very last statement about her becoming his uncle's wife was way too tempting.She spun around and stared at him. She then pretended to say in a mocking tone, "Aren't you very capable? You can choke me to death whenever you want to, so why do you still want to team up wit
Eugene pursed his thin lips and put down the wine glass in his hand that was filled with a golden liquid. He got up.Fern entered the room and was about to lock the door when the man's towering silhouette appeared. He came into the room directly without a care.Although this was Fern and her daughter's room, it was also his territory. She could not stop him from entering.She did not want to glance at him and immediately spun around to walk into the room. A cold expression remained on her face. “Do you need anything?" She sat in front of the dressing table.After Eugene closed the door, he walked up to her, not bothered about the cold expression on her face.After arriving behind her, he stretched out his long arms and placed them on the dressing table. He leaned forth to get closer to her and spoke by her ear, "Sienna just called. She’ll be coming over to have dinner with us.”Fern's expressionless face finally had some changes. 'Sharon is coming over?'So he has told Sharon ab
Sharon came by on her own. Moreover, Wyatt was the one who picked her up.After getting out of the car, she looked inquisitively at the magnificent villa in front of her. She had no idea Eugene had this house, not to mention it was so deeply hidden.She heard that he had moved Fern and Rue here, and it seemed as if this magnificent house was built just for his beloved woman.Just as Sharon entered the house, a small figure rushed toward her, yelling, “You’re here, Aunt Shar!”Rue heard that Sharon was coming over after coming back from school. She immediately knew that Sharon was here when she heard a car coming in.Sharon embraced the little doll-like girl who was pouncing on her and handed her the gift box in her hand. “Look here. I got you something.”“Thank you, Aunt Shar!” Rue gave her a kiss on the cheek and said, “My mom and dad are waiting for you inside. Let’s go in.”When she heard the child addressing Eugene as her dad, there was a slight flicker in her eyes, but she
