In the study room, Douglas was holding onto the dragon-headed walking stick and sitting in a red wooden chair. Sitting opposite of him was Simon. The father and son were indeed talking about Sharon.Simon's bony fingers were holding onto a half-smoked lighted cigarette. Amid the smoke, his well-defined face showed an elusive expression.He narrowed his eyes faintly when faced with his father's order. "Dad, she's a lady who has given birth to my child. It's not going to be an easy thing to do."Douglas put on a stony expression on his old face. His blurry eyes yet had a sharp dark gleam. "Things will be easy if you're saying that you marry her because of the kid. The kid belongs to the Zachary family. From today onwards, he will be raised in the Zachary family. As for her, just give her a sum of money and chase her away."Sharon, who was outside the door, heard it, and this made her felt a flame of rage burning within her chest. Her hands were clenched hard without her realizing it.
Douglas let out a soft cough and deliberately put on a stern face. "She has already told me about you firing her. All she did was spill some coffee because she didn't serve it properly. This mistake wouldn't cause her to be fired, right?"Simon lowered his eyes and concealed the displeased gaze within his eyes. He was not eager to answer but soon, he made up his mind.He extinguished the cigarette butt in his hand in the ashtray. Then, he got up. "Suit yourself, if that will make you happy." He paused for a moment, and added, "It's getting late, you should get some rest." He spun around to leave the study room after saying that.Before Douglas could react, Simon had already left. He sighed helplessly. "This brat…"'Fine, as long as Rebecca is able to be around him and be his secretary, I believe it's only a matter of time when she replaces Sharon!'Sharon had heard those words of Douglas about snatching her son away. She was already very mad that she did not register what they sai
The silence at that moment would make one feel anxious. Sharon could not help but make a sound to break the silence. Suddenly, Simon's long arm circled around her waist, and with force, he yanked her into his arms, making her fall onto Simon's firm chest.His huge palm pressed behind her waist, making her tense.Simon's cold voice was heard was above her head, "Mrs. Zachary, do you think that obtaining a wedding certificate is a thing one does casually?" Sharon placed both her hands on his chest. She could feel his rippling muscles underneath her hands, and his heartbeat. She was anxious that she had no idea where she should place her hands on.Simon looked at her expression and his eyes glittered with a sense of mockery. "Or… is it that you're being jealous?"Sharon's eyes glittered. "I, why would I be jealous? I'm just saying what's in my thoughts. It's true that Rebecca is better…"Her comments were cut short when Simon pressed down with his lips. His huge palm clamped at the b
Sharon was frowning. 'If they are here for a meal, why do they need to bring their luggage over as well?'She suddenly thought of something. 'Could it be that they're going to move into the Zachary household to stay? Is Sally moving in as well?'The thought terrified her. She could not accept the thought of having to stay with Sally, what's more with Howard!"Mommy, the bad guy who grabbed on your neck, is it him?" Sebastian saw Howard and his little face got tensed up, looking really angry."Mm…" before Sharon could finish talking, the little kid threw the ball in his hands over, angrily, and he then ran towards Howard. "Mommy, I'll avenge you!"Sharon got a shock, and quickly went over to catch him. "Sebastian…"In a blink of an eye, Sebastian had run to the front of Howard. He glared at him exasperated, and questioned, "You bad guy, you're the one who choked my mom. You're the one who bullied my mommy, right?"Howard squinted his eyes and glanced at the little kid who appeare
Sharon felt heartbroken and anxious. She could not be bothered anymore and went forward to save her son. Howard roared, "Don't come any closer or I'll throw him on the floor!"Sharon's footsteps forcibly came to a halt. She was staring at him cautiously, and said coldly, "Let go of him!"He narrowed his eyes at her evilly. "Sharon, you're the one who purposely sent this kid over to injure Sally, right? You've already made her lose the child in her womb, and now you still want to injure her? How can you be so cruel?"Sharon frowned. "I didn't! For now, put him down first." She found it hard to explain the situation to him. Besides, Howard was not willing to accept her explanation. Seeing her son struggling and suffering made her despair as if her heart was going to break into pieces.Sally, who was still sitting on the floor, witnessed the entire scene. The corner of her mouth curled into a smirk which no one could see, and her eyes glittered coldly.Howard was still not willing to
Simon wore an expressionless look and said coldly, "If you ever dare lay a finger on the child, don’t blame me for not sparing you any mercy at that moment." He let go of his hand after saying it.Howard staggered two steps before he managed to stabilize himself. His entire arm felt numb, and it just dangled at the side of his body helplessly while it kept trembling. He did not expect his uncle would lay a finger on his biological nephew for the sake of Sharon and Sebastian.Sally immediately got up to support Howard and was feeling heartbroken. "Are you alright, Howard?"There was a flame of rage dwelling in Howard's chest. He glared at Sharon. Then, he said to the lady beside him, "Let's go."Sally was not feeling satisfied, but since Simon had returned, she could not possibly do anything towards Sharon. She gritted her teeth and entered the house with Howard."Dad, I really didn't push her. I just beat that bad guy who bullied mom." Sebastian explained it to his father once aga
Sally's expression changed immediately. With hatred and resentment etched on her face, she confronted Sharon. "Sharon, do you know why I moved here? It’s because I want to chase you out of the Zachary household once and for all. Just you wait and see!"Sharon matched her spiteful gaze. She was able to make out the dissatisfaction and anger that was swirling within Sally's eyes, the determination she had to banish Sharon from the house or even make Sharon disappear from the face of the earth if she could.She found it hilarious. "Sally, five years ago, you took my wedding away from me and stole my man. And now you want to destroy my family. Is there some kind of problem with you? Can you really not bear to see me live a good life?"Sally had stepped onto the path of extremism long ago. There was little sense left in her. She flashed a cold smile and said, "You're right. I will never allow you to live a better life than me. Or better yet, you should use your brain a little and leave t
"If you don't wish to see them, I can make them leave." Simon dropped this statement so easily. To him, it was something he could get done with little effort.Sharon was dumbfounded. 'Make them leave?' She could not deny that she really did not wish to stay with them and have to see them every day. It would be best if he could make them leave.But…She clenched her lips and said, "I think you had better not do that. I don't want Director Zachary to label me as an evil woman again."Sally managed to stay in the house after obtaining the green light from Douglas, who had even ordered her to get ample rest in the Zachary household. He claimed that she might still have some hope of being able to conceive once she recovered.If Simon were to force them out of the house, Sharon would be the only one left to bear the blame.Simon looked at the side of her fair face and gave a vague smile. "Why are you so concerned about that old man's opinion? Are you planning to play the part of a good
