Sharon was extremely unhappy at Eugene’s words. Her face turned cold as she pushed him away.“Forget it. If you’re not planning on helping me, I’ll do it myself!” She continued to pick up the rubble with her blood-stained hands.Eugene felt his heart aching for her and he grabbed her hands again. He angrily reprimanded, “Enough! Why are you doing this? Truthfully, Simon would be better off dead! Have you forgotten the way he hurt you?!”He had no clue that whatever Simon had done was all due to Howard’s little schemes. He genuinely believed that Simon married another woman to humiliate Sharon as it was part of his plans to take revenge on her.“No… He didn’t try to hurt me on purpose…” Sharon wanted to explain it to him but found that she had completely lost her strength.She tried flinging his hands away once again. “Forget it. Leave me alone. I can do it myself.” She did not have much time to explain things to him at the moment.She got up and wanted to search for Simon in anot
“Wipe your tears away. I’ll take you there. Stop crying now. You’ll cry yourself blind at this point,” said Eugene as he pretended to be somewhat fierce.Eugene brought her to the collapsed villa and found that the search and rescue team was still around, looking for survivors. A lot of people had been found by now, but… most of them were dead.Those people included Simon’s bodyguards as well as Howard’s men and servants.However, there were still a few who were alive. However, all of them were severely wounded and had to be immediately taken to the hospital upon being rescued.Sharon almost fainted upon witnessing such a ghastly sight, and her heart tightened up fiercely.“Simon… Where are you?” Could he still be underneath?Soon after they arrived, the captain of the rescue team said to his team of rescuers, “The search and rescue work is over!”Sharon looked at the captain in bewilderment and asked anxiously, “It’s over? You haven’t found him, so how could it be over?”The c
After the search and rescue team left, Eugene got other people to come over to have a look around the area once more due to Sharon’s insistence.He did not have the heart to watch her cry so sorrowfully. What was the need to be so upset over such a man?Even if the explosion had truly killed Simon, it was because of a dispute that occurred among the Zacharies anyway. She was merely their victim.“We’ve searched everywhere, President Eugene. But we couldn’t find anyone…” Wyatt reported. Eugene looked at Sharon and shrugged helplessly. “Did you hear that?”“No one? But what about Simon? Where did he go?” She simply could not believe that he would die just like that.“I don’t know what else to tell you.” He was about to say that Simon had probably disintegrated into ashes, but he had to change his words for fear of stimulating her further.Sharon was still holding onto that wedding ring in her hand. She felt somewhat lightheaded now and was almost unable to stand on her feet. If
At that time, the rescue team had arrived with the ambulance, so Howard was taken to the hospital as well. It was not determined whether he had survived the stab wound.However, when Xena heard the sound of the police car’s siren, she immediately became terrified. She thought that the police had come over to catch her, so she fled in a panic.She hid nearby for nearly one day and one night, only daring to show herself after the rescue team and police officers left. When Penelope saw her in this state, she felt nothing but heartache and went to pull her over.“What’s the matter with you, Xena? How did you become like this?” In Penelope’s heart, Xena was still her sister-in-law.However, it was as if Xena could no longer recognize Penelope and immediately pushed her away. Then, she went on to move the concrete on the side while calling out, “I’ll save you, Simon…”“Xena!” Penelope grabbed her and forced Xena to look at her. Then, she said solemnly, “Look at me! It’s me, Penelope!”
Xena kept denying that she had hired people to kidnap Sebastian, but the police had evidence in their hands. They were confident that she was the one who did it with the evidence in hand.Xena finally broke down and confessed upon seeing the evidence. Adding to the crime that she had stabbed Howard with a knife, it was inevitable for her to be convicted. As Sebastian’s mom, Sharon was also called into the police station to cooperate with the investigation.Now that everything had come to light, even Penelope’s big shot lawyer could no longer protect Xena.“Xena, tell us. Why did you hire a kidnapper to kidnap Sebastian? He’s just a child. What kind of resentment could you possibly harbor toward a kid?” Penelope was extremely disappointed with her over this matter.In any case, Sebastian was still the Zachary family’s flesh and blood. Especially now that Simon had been murdered, the Zacharies were left with only one male heir!No matter how much Penelope disliked Sebastian, she s
“Grab her and send her over to the infirmary for her injury,” said a police officer.“How could you prevent me from seeing Simon?! I hate all of you!” It was as if Xena had utterly lost her mind. She honestly thought that she could see Simon if she died.Sharon could only watch as Xena was taken, and even her shrieks were slowly fading away.“Please take care of her, and don’t let her harm herself,” said Sharon to the police officers.“Don’t worry. We’ll take care of this from here. You may leave after giving your statement.”Sharon nodded and proceeded to leave the police station.Eugene’s car was parked by the entrance. He was standing on the side of the vehicle with one hand in his trouser pocket. It seemed like he had been waiting for her.“How did it go? Have they investigated it? Was she the one who kidnapped Sebastian?” he asked.Sharon looked solemn as she responded, “Yeah.”“So it was really her? She’s truly a vicious woman, isn’t she? She couldn’t even let go of a ch
Sharon looked straight into Penelope’s eyes with a cold gaze. She asked in a deep voice, “I’m not here to see anything. He’s not dead, so why are you holding a funeral for him?”“Not dead? Then do you know where he is? Tell me where he is right now,” said Penelope.“We have to see the corpse before we determine that he’s dead. Without a corpse, as far as I’m concerned, he’s not dead!” Sharon had no idea what Penelope was thinking. How could she hold a funeral without a body?Anger started surging in her chest upon seeing the priest reciting his prayer near the tombstone. Someone else was throwing flowers onto the casket. “Stop it! Stop praying!” she yelled to stop the priest and went over to pull on the people who were throwing flowers. “Stop tossing the flowers onto the casket! He’s not dead! He’s not!”Everyone started avoiding her upon witnessing this. A few of the elders from the Zachary family started cursing at her with gloomy expressions, “Where did this madwoman come from
“Stop struggling so unnecessarily, Sharon. Just go with Simon. He needs you!” Penelope raised her hand, and the sharp pair of scissors were about to pierce Sharon’s neck…“Stop! Don’t hurt my mommy!” Sebastian appeared out of nowhere and pushed his way through the crowd, rushing toward his mother.Before Penelope could grasp the situation, a brutal force knocked her over to the side. She lost grip of the weapon in her hand and it immediately fell to the ground.She even staggered a few steps backward in embarrassment before finally regaining her balance. She shifted her eyes and saw that Sebastian was already trying to save Sharon.“Let go of my mommy! Let go!” Sebastian was pulling the bodyguard’s hands.“Sebastian…” Sharon could not help but be surprised by Sebastian’s appearance. How did he know she was here? He had not even fully recovered from his injury yet!“Don’t touch him! He’s injured!” Sharon hurriedly scowled at the bodyguards.Thinking that he was now the Zachary fa
