Eugene’s heart hurt when he saw Sharon crying. He helped her wipe her tears in a hurry. “Don’t cry. It isn’t worth it for you to cry over a man like that. Don’t worry. I’ll help you teach him a lesson!” he told her. “Brother…” she said. However, she could not suppress the pain in her heart. Her tears continued to fall. “Brother, did he agree to hold a wedding ceremony with me just to take revenge on me?” she asked in a choked voice. Did he abandon her and marry someone else on the day of their wedding so that she would become the greatest laughing stock in front of everyone?Eugene’s heart hurt even more when he saw her reddened eyes and nose. He was tearing Simon Zachary apart in his heart! He glared at Xena harshly. How could she tell Sharon something like that? Xena thought that she was rather innocent. Sharon had grabbed her before she could tell her any words of vengeance. She had almost gotten hurt because of Sharon. Eugene pursed his lips without saying anything. Sha
After Eugene went out, both of them did not say anything for some time. Sharon continued staring at him. She thought that he would give her an explanation.Nevertheless, he continued standing opposite her with an expression devoid of any emotions. It did not seem like he wanted to explain anything to her. However, he spoke up first. “What did you want to tell me?” he asked. Sharon’s heart lurched. It was alright if he did not have an explanation for her, but he did not even tell her a single word of concern. Instead, he asked her impatiently if anything was wrong. Was this his true side? Now that they had ended things, he was not even willing to act in front of her anymore. Was that why he could treat her so rudely now?Sharon took a deep breath as she suppressed her burgeoning anger. Nevertheless, she could not resist bunching up the blanket in her fists tightly. “Do you have nothing to say to me? Did you really hold a wedding ceremony with Xena and get married to her?”
However, a voice within her yelled out that this could not be! He could not be telling her the truth! She calmed herself down, wanting to give him another chance. She wanted to give herself another chance as well. “Do you have any hardships that I don’t know about? You’re just pretending to marry her, right?” she asked. Simon raised his eyes and stared at her. The dark orbs of his eyes were so calm that she had begun to lose hope. He saw the inkling of hope in her gaze. He did not want to shatter her hope, but… he had no choice but to end things harshly. “Didn't you see our marriage certificate? Do you think I would create a fake marriage certificate just to trick you?” he asked. He paused momentarily and continued, “Furthermore, Xena has been by my side for the past two years. There’s no reason for me to let her down.” Sharon’s heart lurched harshly. The inkling of hope within her went out completely. She could no longer keep lying to herself, saying that his marriage cer
Sharon thought that the poison in her body had been fully detoxified. However, Simon was now saying that this was not the case! It was no wonder that her body was still in such a bad condition. She still felt weak all the time. Simon noticed that Sharon’s expression had worsened. “The antidote consists of two doses. You’ve only had the first dose. The other dose… I’ll get it for you sometime later,” he could not stop himself from telling her. To prevent her from being overly worried and afraid, there were some things that she did not need to know about. It was impossible for him to wait for the kidnappers to send the antidote over themselves. He had already asked Franky to track their whereabouts.Sharon’s eyes gradually landed on him. He felt suffocated when he caught sight of the empty look in her gaze.“That’s why you can’t leave now,” Simon said as he met her gaze.“If you hate me that much, why are you looking for an antidote for me?”Simon pursed his lips as a dark gli
He breathed in deeply before finally saying something after a long pause, “Go! Leave right now!” he yelled out in a low and hoarse voice. As soon as he finished speaking, he turned away from her to face the window. The lone silhouette of his back seemed cold and indifferent, but his heart was throbbing in pain. Eugene huffed coldly and walked to Sharon’s side. He removed the knife from her hand carefully and said, “Sienna, let’s go. I’ll take you home.”Sharon still had an intravenous drip fixed to her hand. Eugene had no choice but to carry her and place her in the wheelchair. He then brought the catheter along with him. Simon tensed up when he heard the noise behind him. Even so, he forbade himself from turning around.He heard the sound of the door opening. Then, the sound of Eugene pushing the wheelchair out resonated through the room.He remained tense until the room fell silent. He would make the kidnappers and those who plotted against him pay for everything! “Sienna!”
Sharon was sent to the emergency room. Two hours later, the doctor came out.“Doctor, how is she?” Eugene, who had been outside the entire time, walked over and asked.Simon was there as well. There was a cold expression on his face as he fixed a sharp gaze on the doctor.“We’ve controlled the effects of the poison for the time being. Her life isn’t in danger, but the poison must be detoxified as soon as possible. Otherwise, something like this will happen again. If it happens too frequently, she won’t be able to take it.”The doctor was being kind with his words, but they all understood what he meant. If this persisted, Sharon’s life would be in danger.“Detoxify the poison in her body then! Why can’t you get rid of it?!” Eugene shouted out. Blinded by his anger, he had forgotten that the doctors here had no way of formulating the antidote.Simon’s face tensed up. He turned around and walked away without saying anything.Eugene’s gaze darkened. He took a few steps over and grab
Simon narrowed his eyes. “Where are they? I want to interrogate them personally,” he said in a cold and heavy voice.He had never given up on catching the kidnappers. He could not get threatened by them forever.“Follow me,” Franky said, leading him away at once.Simon followed Franky to a secret room where the four kidnappers had been gagged. They were squatting on the ground with their hands tied.They raised their heads and saw Simon entering the room. A hint of fear flashed across their faces.Simon stared at them coldly, giving off an icy and dangerous aura.One of his subordinates placed a chair before him so that he could sit down. Meanwhile, a few burly bodyguards who were clad in black stood behind him.“Tell me, where’s the antidote?” Simon questioned as he sat down. It seemed like this would be a long interrogation.He tore off the duct tape on the kidnappers’ mouths, allowing them to talk now.“We don’t know,” the leftmost kidnapper said. Simon glanced at Franky.
Simon walked out of the secret room with an overcast expression. His piercing eyes were as dark as the night.The calmer he seemed, the more afraid Franky was. He followed behind him cautiously.He had thought they would get information about the antidote if they managed to catch the kidnappers. However, the people that he had caught were all useless underlings.Never mind the antidote, they did not have much useful information at all.“President Zachary, about those kidnappers… What should we do with them?” Franky asked him, trying to test the waters.Simon continued walking forward with an impassive expression on his face. He cast a sideways glance at Franky when he arrived at the door. “What do you think?” he asked him in a chilly tone.From his expression and demeanor, Franky knew that he should not anger him right now. These kidnappers had hurt Sharon… He would not let them go easily.“Understood. I’ll handle them accordingly,” Franky said. He had been by Simon’s side for s
