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
Sharon still could not figure out what was going on with these three just yet. How did they end up living together after she came back from a vacation?She never thought that Eugene would be this quick to take action.“Rue, why did you call him ‘Dad’ earlier?”“He’s my dad now. He’s acknowledged me as his daughter, and Mom has agreed to be with him. So now we’re a family of three!” Rue looked rather proud to announce this. She finally had a father and a complete family of her own!“Is that so? Then I’d like to congratulate you as well, Brother and Fern,” Sharon said while smiling.She noticed that Fern was grinning reluctantly and had quickly lowered her head to hide the emotions in her eyes. It seemed like she was unwilling to be here?Since dinner was ready, Sharon stuck around and had a meal with them.After dinner, she and Eugene had tea in the small garden.“Why did you suddenly change your mind and want to be with Fern?” Was it because he wanted to give Rue a family?“Yo
While they were inside the car heading home, Sharon furrowed her brows as she looked out the window without saying a word.“Did Eugene bully you?” Simon narrowed his eyes, examining her expression.She abruptly regained her consciousness and shook her head, replying, “No.”“Then why are you so unhappy?” He pinched her chin and looked into her eyes.“I was just thinking about how he’s trapping Fern and the child by his side. It seems a bit wrong.” She knew that it was wrong but barely said anything to help Fern. She was inevitably feeling guilty about it in her heart.Once he understood her thoughts, he dimly said, “He’s an adult, so he should be well aware of what he’s doing. It’s not something you should be worrying about. Since you have the time to think about this sort of thing, why don’t you think about our wedding instead?”“I thought all of the wedding matters will be handled by you?” she said while smiling.“I’m talking about the wedding rings we have to wear on our weddi
“You seem to have asked this question many times now.” She had lost the patience to answer the same question.Howard suddenly let out a chuckle, making her expression turn somewhat confused. What was so funny?“You’re still so innocent, Shar… Wait, no. I think you’re a fool and a dummy. You’re too easily deceived.”Sharon’s expression became colder now. “You should watch your tongue.” Was something wrong with this man? Why did he come here just to mock her?Howard stopped laughing and looked into her eyes without blinking, saying, “I’m just saying that you’re dumb. I can’t believe how clueless you are that you’re getting lied to at this moment.”“What do you mean getting lied to? Perhaps you’ve made a mistake here?” “For the sake of our past relationship, I’d like to ask you, do you truly think that my uncle is such a kind-hearted person? You abandoned him on your wedding day two years ago and made him lose his dignity. The whole world was laughing at him. Do you think that he’s
After Howard left, Sharon kept thinking about that smile he had on his face and could not help but find it weird. However, she could not tell what was off with it.Then, she looked down at her hands and saw the diamond necklace he gave her. The huge diamonds were gleaming dazzlingly.It was just that as soon as she thought about Howard being the one who had gifted it to her, it felt more like a hot piece of charcoal now.“Excuse me, Miss, does the shop buy diamonds as well?” she asked.The shop assistant had witnessed the moment Howard gave her the necklace with her own eyes. She never expected that Sharon would sell it off so quickly!“We do, but the price will be much lower than the original price. Are you sure about selling it?”Without the slightest hesitation, Sharon handed the gift box over to her and said, “Please evaluate how much this diamond necklace is worth. I’d like to sell it off as soon as possible.”“Okay, please give me a moment.” The shop assistant took the nec
