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
As Sharon was trying to think of what she should do next, the door of the room was suddenly pushed open. A childish yet joyful voice of a little kid was heard, "Mommy… I won against grandpa again!"Sebastian ran into the room, delighted, and when he saw his parents hugging each other on the sofa, he suddenly came to a halt. His eyes widened as he looked at them and, a moment later, he shrieked and covered his eyes.Sharon did not expect her son to suddenly barge into the room and see them in such a state. Even though it was not an intimate gesture, it still made her feel embarrassed.She quickly pushed Simon away and got down from his arms. She went over to her son and said in a concerned tone, "What's wrong with you? Why did you close your eyes?""My eyes hurt." The little kid was still covering his eyes with his hands.Sharon became anxious. "Pain? Weren’t you alright just a moment ago? Why does it suddenly hurt? Let me have a look."She prised the little kid's hands away and e
Sharon frowned deeply and looked at the emergency room beside them, its door closed. Right then, the little kid was receiving treatment from a doctor inside and they could only wait outside.Sharon was worried and, at the same time, suppressing her anger. 'Sally, you did this on purpose, didn’t you?'Footsteps came toward them. Sharon spun around and saw it was none other than Sally. Her expression immediately darkened. 'How dare she show her face?'Sally put on a worried facade for the outsiders and said, "Butler, is Sebastian's injury very bad?"The butler explained, "The doctor is attending to him. For now, we can’t be sure of anything yet."Sally glanced at Sharon whose expression was eerily dark. A cold smile visible within her eyes, Sally pretended to sound guilty when she spoke, "It's my fault, aunt. I wasn't looking after the child when it happened. He was being naughty and spilled the water on the table."She paused for a moment, then sighed theatrically as if she was up
"Were you even heartbroken? Isn’t that child just one of your chess pieces? You're cruel enough to kill him, so what right do you have to talk to me about sorrow? That wasn’t Howard's child. That's why you were able to be so heartless to that child, am I right?" Sharon could not control her anger which was out of control and shot back at Sally.The smile on Sally's face vanished. She let out an evil smirk and said, "So what? Since no one can prove that the child is not his, don't you even think about using this matter to scare me! Even if that person is Simon… it's impossible!"When Sharon heard that, a thought flashed in her mind suddenly, and she abruptly understood something. Her sharp eyes were locked onto Sally as she said hesitantly, "You… it's you who intervened with the parental DNA test report?"She had been flabbergasted when Simon let her take a look at the parental DNA test. She could not comprehend the reason behind it. 'It was obvious that the child doesn't belong to H
Howard fell silent for a few seconds before saying, “Okay.” Sharon entered the ward anxiously and saw her son lying on the hospital bed. His burned hands had been bandaged and she could not tell how severe his injuries were. “Doctor, he…” As soon as Sharon opened her mouth, the doctor instantly said, “The child's injuries are serious. If he arrived at the hospital any later, he will most likely have lost his hands.” Sharon did not expect the injuries to be that serious that she almost lost her balance, her body swaying slightly. Simon stretched out his arms to support her. Only a mother could understand how her heart ached at the moment! She could not help glaring at Sally, her eyes boiling with anger. The doctor continued, “Now that the wound has been treated, he should stay in the hospital for observation. As long as we monitor him carefully, the injury will heal properly.” “Thank you, doctor.” Sharon grabbed Simon’s arm tightly. She felt really weak right now. After
Seeing her son’s face full of tears, Sharon resisted the urge to wipe them off for him. Douglas loved this grandson of his so much; perhaps he was the only person who could punish Sally at this time. Sure enough, when Douglas heard Sebastian’s words, he frowned deeply, his aged but majestic eyes turning to Sally, and his voice as deep as an ancient bell as he growled, “Did you hurt Sebastian?” Douglas had been feeling unwell today so he rested in the room without playing with Sebastian. If the butler had not told him that his grandson had suffered burns, he would not have found out about this. Sally felt extremely flustered under Douglas’s intense gaze. At this point, what else could she do? She gritted her teeth, met Douglas’ probing gaze, and put on a very aggrieved appearance. “Grandpa, I didn’t. I just lost a child. I feel nothing but affection for any child I see now. How could I hurt Sebastian?” Howard felt suffocated. Everyone was blatantly bullying his wife one after
