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
Simon's eagle-like eyes glinted with a terrifying cold vibe. If he could kill with just his gaze, perhaps Howard would already be dead."So you think you and Sharon have a chance to be together? You poisoned her and even made her suffer so much. Do you think she won’t hate you once she knows about it?” 'This is ridiculous. He still has the intention of getting back together with her!’Howard’s expression changed but he soon recomposed himself. He sneered, "Of course, I've already thought about this a long time ago. You don't have to worry about me. I have my ways and she’ll forgive me for sure."Simon's eyes glinted darkly. 'Isn't he being too full of himself?!'"Hurry and hand over the antidote!" Simon did not wish to talk nonsense with him. All he wanted was the antidote.Howard smiled coldly. "Uncle, do you think I'll so easily hand over the antidote?""If you don't hand it over, then don't ever think about leaving this place!" 'So he has already come prepared.'Howard squint
Seeing Xena running in made Howard instantly know what was going on. It had been Xena who betrayed him!Xena anxiously ran to the front of Simon and snatched that vial of poison. She immediately smashed it on the floor and the vial broke into pieces."You're too cruel, Howard! No matter what, Simon is still your uncle. How can you force him to inject himself with poison?" It was only now that she came to realize how crazy Howard was.Howard looked at her coldly and sneered, "Xena, now you're trying to act like a good person? Don't you forget that I'm your partner!"Xena's expression was utterly awful but she had already come clean to Simon. She was not afraid of Howard exposing her true intentions in front of Simon anymore."That's right. I did cooperate with you, but since the beginning, I had never wished for anything to happen to Simon!"Simon looked at the poison on the floor and then at the two people who were exposing each other's intentions. He pursed his mouth, not saying
The only thing she could say now was that she had been too foolish and Howard was too good of an actor.The emotions in Howard’s eyes were turbulent. After undergoing several changes, he ultimately said in a hoarse voice, “I didn’t want it to become like this either, Shar. But if I can’t get out of this today, then I have to ask you to die with me. I don’t want to leave you all alone. You’re mine!”It was as if he had thoroughly gone insane!“You’ll have to choose now, Uncle. Either you let me and Shar go, or we’ll die together right here.” It was as if Howard had gone mad, but he was still aware that Simon’s men were outside at the moment. If he were to let Sharon go, he could not escape this.There was not a single expression on Simon’s cold face. There was just a terrifyingly bloodthirsty aura that exuded from his body.On the other hand, Xena wished that Howard and Sharon would drop dead right there. She pretended to kindly remind him, “Simon, you can’t let him take Sharon awa
