Howard frowned. "He wants to fight with Sharon for the right to take care of Sebastian?"Xena glared at him ruthlessly. "Why are you becoming stupid as well? I'm saying that he wants to bring them back home. What he wants is not the right to take care of the kid but to have their whole family together. He wants them to be a family again!”"Impossible!" His uncle had not obtained the antidote, so he would not easily reconcile with Sharon. Unless he wanted to take Sharon's life away."It's not that it's impossible. This is what's actually happening. I heard it from them myself!""Did Sharon agree to it?" Howard asked."She rejected him, but given your uncle's skills, do you think her rejection will have any effect?" 'Soon, Sharon will give in.'Howard heard the words and glanced at her. He then sneered, "Say, why are you so useless? My uncle is already married to you yet you're still unable to control him?"Xena's face was pale and then she blushed. "His heart is occupied only by
Simon put on a cold expression. 'Just who is this woman who is so cruel that she won’t even let go of a child?'He did not have many women around him. Apart from Sharon… he could only think of Xena.His eyes glinted. 'Could it be Xena who did it?'She had always been a fragile person in front of him. She dared not talk loudly as well. 'Would she be so heartless?'No matter who it was, he would definitely look for that woman. He would not let Sebastian suffer from his injuries for naught.He suddenly got up and wanted to leave. The kidnappers saw this and pleaded, "We've told you all we know. Please spare our lives…"Simon faced Franky with an emotionless face and said, "Find a higher spot and get rid of them."Franky got the hint and then answered, "Yes, sir. I'll settle them without leaving a trace behind.”It was as if the kidnappers had heard their death sentence. They got more scared and pleaded with Simon, "Please spare our lives, President Zachary…"Simon did not even
He evaded his gaze and placed the lunch boxes in his hands on the table. Then, he opened the lids and placed the food in front of his son. "I came across this shop when I was on my way here. I bought your favorite steamed pork."Sebastian glanced at the delicacy placed in front of him. His eyes immediately sparkled. Just when he was about to stretch out his hands to eat the food, he immediately hesitated when he recalled it was his scumbag father who bought it.Simon frowned when he saw his son's hesitant face even though he clearly wanted to eat the food. He said, "I didn't put any poison in it.""Mommy, didn't you say that I can only eat plain foods for now?" He was thinking of asking his mother to reject on his behalf as he could not bring himself to reject the food.Naturally, Sharon had seen through his plans. She knew that Sebastian had been eating the nutritious meals provided by the hospital which were not at all tasty."Your injuries are much better now. It’s okay to eat
Xena had always been gentle and considerate in front of Simon. She never once threw a tantrum in front of him.She had smashed the bowl of medications with a fierce expression, frightening the caretaker."Madam… you must consume the medications…" The caretaker had to listen to Penelope’s order and make sure Xena took the medications every day.Xena was already very frustrated yet the caretaker still blurted out those words, which added oil to the fire."Then you take them. Help me get pregnant? What nonsense? If I take these medications but he refuses to touch me, how am I going to get pregnant?" Xena immediately spoke, "From now on, don't ever prepare these medications for me. I'm not taking them. I'll smash every bowl of medications that you prepare for me.""But… I can't report back to Miss Penelope…" The caretaker put on a troubled look."Then that's your business. If you can't even settle such trivial issues, then you don't have to do all these things for me. Pack up your st
Simon was unsure whether she was really not feeling well or if she was just faking it. He faced the caretaker and said, "Get out."The caretaker got the message and quickly headed out, even closing the door for them.Only two of them were left in the room. Xena was feeling intense pressure and felt a chilly sensation coursing through her. She was starting to regret pulling down her sleeping robe.She tried her best to put on a smile for him, saying gently, "Simon, why don’t you look happy?"Simon's sharp eyes were staring at her. He totally ignored the fact she was wearing so little clothing and was exposing so much of her skin.Simon moved his long legs, and with each step taken, he slowly inched closer to her. His silence made her feel even more scared.He walked to the side of the bed and suddenly leaned forth. He placed one of his palms at the side of her body, and his cold eyes were staring at her. He then said with a deep and cold voice, "It was you who was behind Sebastian
Xena glanced at the face of the man who was so close to her. He looked carefree yet cool at the same time. A sense of terror coursed through her as though the world was about to end.However, deep in her heart, she was feeling dissatisfied and kept struggling. She struggled to muster the last bit of strength she had and grabbed his hands. She said, "I'm begging you, please let me go… I have something important to tell you… Let me make up for what I've done…"The thought of her hiring kidnappers to kidnap and even kill his son made Simon unable to get rid of the anger in him. He would not feel sorry even if he were to personally kill her!He did not loosen his grip. 'Letting her be alive will just invite more trouble.'"It's... It's about Sharon getting poisoned. Don't you want to know about it?" Xena took great efforts to blurt these words out. Her eyes were about to roll back because of oxygen deprivation.Simon heard it and immediately furrowed his brows. This time, he finally l
Howard glanced at his mother without saying a word. His eyes glittered with mixed feelings."Don't worry, Mom. I'll never let those who are making us live miserable lives have it their way." There was a murderous expression on his face.Fiona kept eating her apples and did not bother listening to Howard.Sometimes, he would think that perhaps it would be better off for his mother to be in this state. At the very least, she need not worry about so many things.After Howard visited his mother and came out from the psychiatric hospital, he received a call from his subordinate. "Young Master Howard, Miss Sharon has fainted.""She fainted? For real?" It was as if he had already predicted she would faint."Yes, she’s now in one of the wards in the hospital.""Got it. I'll head over there now." Howard hung up the call and immediately drove his car to the hospital.He had been waiting for this day to arrive. Only when Sharon passed out and her illness deteriorated would his uncle be sc
Naturally, Howard wanted to bring Sharon away. Otherwise, what else could he use to restrain his uncle?He abandoned the thoughts in his mind and kept the respectful expression on his face while facing his uncle. "Uncle, you've also heard the doctor's words. Right now, what’s most important is for us to keep the poison in Sharon’s body unter control. It's best if I bring her over to Darren to have a look."Simon did not change his expression. His cold and gorgeous brows were hiding some emotions. He said in a faint tone, "Since the medication that he has prescribed to her is useless, then there's no need for Sharon to go look for him anymore."Howard was feeling impatient, but he still reminded Simon patiently, "Uncle, you have no right to meddle in her issues right now. You should be very clear about that. If she were conscious, she'd never follow you back to the Zachary household."Simon's expression became cold and he coldly commented, "You have no right to be giving orders abou
