Sally frowned impatiently. “I’ve said what I needed to say. Let go of me, don’t touch me!” Sharon grabbed hold of her and insisted that she make things clear. However, her colleague Lewis suddenly appeared. “Sharon, there you are! I’ve been looking for you all day.” In the split second that Sharon was distracted, Sally shrugged off her grip and glared at her as she said, “I would advise you to keep quiet, else I’ll get Howard to assign you even more work.” Then, she strode off haughtily. Sharon did not stop Sally. She knew Sally was purposefully whetting her appetite by not telling her any more about her father! Lewis informed Sharon that the director wanted her to bring the design over to the construction site and show it to the person in charge. Thus, Sharon suppressed her questions and went to work. As she left the office and drove to the construction site, she found herself unable to calm down as she recalled what Sally had told her. She remembered the last time she h
When Helen turned and saw that her boss had gotten out of the car, she hurried over and said, “Vice President, why did you get out? Are you alright? Are you hurt?” Penelope’s face was blank. No one had ever seen a smile on her face before. Sharon, who was still in shock, turned toward the direction of the voice. The middle-aged woman who had gotten out of the car was dressed in a simple business suit, and her hair was pulled back. Her eyes were unsmiling, giving her an air of sophistication amidst her powerful aura. She looked like a girl boss through and through. Why did this woman seem familiar? Why did her dominating aura feel similar to Simon’s? Sharon could tell that she was the owner of the car. Walking over, she said apologetically, “I’m so sorry, I wasn’t paying attention to the road just now… but don’t worry, I’ll pay for however much that needs to be compensated.” After coming back to her senses, she realized that the accident had happened because she was distracted
Sharon was probably the one in most shock now. When she saw the two reunite, she was startled. That powerful woman was Simon’s oldest sister!? “President Zachary, are you here to pick up Vice President Zachary? I’m telling you, it was that woman who wasn't paying attention to her driving and ended up hitting Vice President Zachary!” Helen immediately complained to him. Simon’s expression sank. “Penelope, are you alright?” “Vice President didn’t get hurt, but she did get an incredible shock. Don’t worry, President Zachary. We’ve discussed it with Attorney Greene. We’ll definitely have the perpetrator pay for every last cent!” Helen spoke again. Sharon felt her scalp tingle when she heard what they said. His sister was so powerful, so there was no way they were going to let her get away easily, right? She glanced furtively at Simon. She must have caused him trouble again. Simon suppressed his shock. He would never have imagined that Sharon would so coincidentally crash into h
The man did not have any expression on his face as he threw the question back to her. “What do you think?”Sharon lowered her eyelids. “I… I regret everything. I never thought I would crash into her.” “Regret? Why didn’t you think about the repercussions when you were driving? What if someone crashed into you, or if you crashed into someone? Do you think you could bear the responsibility?” He reprimanded with a stern expression on his face. Sharon was surprised at the serious expression on his face. “I, I know it’s my fault, but… we’re husband and wife now. Your sister will forgive me because of you, right?” The man still had a stony expression on her face. “I’m just worried that she’ll refuse to view you as her sister-in-law.” Sharon was stunned. He was right, she had addressed Penelope as her sister-in-law, but she had merely walked off with a stony expression on her face. “So what should I do? I can apologize to her, right?” “You ruined her car, but you think an apology
“Penelope, you have no idea how calculating Sharon is. She used her child to approach Simon…” “Fiona, don’t you think it’s a bad idea to gossip about my wife behind her back?” Simon had a frosty expression on his face as he walked into the living room. Sharon was beside him. Fiona was just about to tell Penelope all about Sharon’s shortcomings. She had not expected Simon to return at this moment and overhear her, with Sharon beside him no less! She faltered awkwardly for a moment but managed to hide it swiftly as she put on a high and mighty air, “Simon, I’m not gossiping. I’m telling the truth.” When she finished speaking, she even glared at Sharon. Simon’s gaze was stern. “Fiona, my wife is kind-hearted, but you claim that she’s calculating. Do you think that’s the truth?” Fiona nearly spewed blood from her mouth. Sharon, a kind-hearted person? How could he say something so preposterous? Sharon stood silently beside Simon. She did not say anything. Fiona had never had any
“That all happened in the past…” “Just because it happened in the past doesn’t mean it never happened! How dare you get married to a woman like that?! It’s so obvious that she has ulterior motives!” “Penelope, you’ve never even spent any time with her. All you’ve done is listen to the rumors. How can you conclude that she has ulterior motives just like that?” Simon did not raise his voice. All he wanted to do was talk some sense into her, not argue with her. However, it seemed to Penelope that this was the first time he had argued with her because of a woman!Her grip on the armrest tightened as her chest heaved. “Either way, I don’t agree with your marriage to this woman. She even crashed into my car today and would’ve killed me if I weren’t lucky! Divorce her immediately for your own good!” Simon frowned. “Penelope, today was a misunderstanding. Don’t you think you’re prejudiced against her?” “I’m not prejudiced against her. It’s just that she’s no match for you!” “I’m t
“And you… agreed?” she asked hesitantly. Their eyes met. The man did not reply immediately, and that only caused her to become even more nervous. What was she nervous about? Did she not want to divorce him? After all, their marriage was just for show. However… if they did get divorced, who would get custody of the child? “Do you want to divorce me?” He leaned into her as he asked in a low voice. He was so near her that their breaths were overlapping. She felt herself enter a momentary trance as she shook her head and said, “No, I don’t want a divorce.” The thought had suddenly occurred to her. If they got divorced, she might lose custody of her child. Thus, she would never agree to a divorce. Simon’s eyes glinted as his thin lips curled upward into a smile. “That’s right. Seems like you haven’t forgotten about our agreement.” “But your sister…” “I’ve already taken care of it. She’s giving you a chance to get to know you better. You must be on your best performance. Do
The expression on Simon’s face was unbelievably ugly, and the veins on his forehead throbbed. Why did the kid interrupt him every time he wanted to do something serious? The little brat had destroyed his plans. He felt the urge to have him thrown out from the house, never mind the fact that he was his son! Sharon’s face reddened as she pushed Simon off her and lowered her head to check her clothes. Thankfully, they were not messy. The only thing messy was her breathing. She instinctively ran a hand through her hair as she said, “Sebastian, why didn’t you knock before entering?”The little guy huffed. “If I had knocked, I wouldn’t have seen Dad bullying you!” The expression on Simon’s face stiffened as he sat and glared at the little guy. “I wasn’t bullying her...”“I already saw everything, but you’re still lying!” The little guy did not believe him in the slightest.Sharon followed suit and said, “Your dad wasn’t bullying me, he…”Sebastian stared at her, waiting for an answ
