This was the first time the secretary heard Eugene speaking in such a cold voice. She could not help but feel shocked. She hesitated for a moment before recalling what she wanted to say. “President Eugene… the female celebrity, Fern, wants to see you.” Fern’s stage name did not consist of her last name, so everyone just called her Fern.Eugene had been displeased over this. Men and women alike called her Fern. Did that not sound way too intimate?!Meanwhile, as her man, he could not call her that way!She came over so quickly. He had just gotten his hands on her contract and she was already here!His gaze darkened as he said, “Tell her that I’m extremely busy now. Let her wait.” Did she have the right to see him just because she wanted to? The secretary felt like he was acting weird today. He had never asked someone to wait for him. He would usually either meet them or refuse to meet them.“Alright, noted,” she said. Although she did not understand the reason why, she still
Nobody dared to say anything when they saw him. They immediately returned to their own work stations.Wyatt looked inside the reception room and saw Fern walking out of it.He was inevitably shocked. “Mad—” He was about to call her Madam but stopped himself just in time. He was Eugene’s personal assistant. Of course, he knew about her relationship with Eugene.“Why are you here?” he asked with a smile.“I want to see your boss. Are you free? Bring me to him,” Fern immediately requested.“This…” Wyatt thought about it silently. President Eugene must not want to see her now since he had asked her to wait here. If he took the initiative to bring her to his office, he would be the one receiving the brunt of his rage.He continued to smile at Fern. Just as he was about to come up with an excuse to reject her, Fern grabbed his arm and pulled him toward the elevator. “Don’t even think of rejecting my request. If you don’t bring me up, I’ll barge into his office on my own. By then, you
Fern found it amusing when she heard him referring to himself as her man. She stared at his face up close and smirked mockingly. “To me, you’re just my daughter’s father. Other than that, we aren’t related in any other way,” she said. She did not want to be related to him in any other way as well.“Oh, that’s right. Since you bought off my contract, you’re now my boss.”Eugene stared at the delicate features of her face up close. He hated the ambiguous and mocking smile on her face. He reached out and held her chin. “You’re hurting me by saying that. Do you really think that we aren’t related in any other special way?” As soon as he finished speaking, he moved his tall and sturdy body closer to her.Fern’s back was pressed against the desk and it began to hurt a little. Their bodies were stuck together and she was instantly overcome with embarrassment. She tried to push him away. “Go away! Move farther away from me!”Eugene’s sturdy build was just like a wall. She could not push
An unpleasant expression formed on Fern’s face. He continued speaking, “Since you think that you’re selling yourself anyway, you won’t feel aggrieved if you sell yourself to me.” She felt like cursing at him. “You’re a psycho!” He carried her in his arms before she could fight against his hold on her. He walked straight toward the office lounge. Fern glared at Eugene’s despicable face. She was so angry that her face and neck were flushed red. The next moment, Eugene threw her onto the bed in the lounge. “Eugene Newton, I hate you!” After she blurted this out, Eugene covered her mouth with his. He did not care if he hated her or not. No matter what he did, she would always hate him. ...Sharon thought that Penelope would tone down her actions after losing the lawsuit. Besides, she had also chosen to let her off the hook by not lodging a police report. However, she was wrong… Her phone vibrated while she was formulating a new fragrance in the laboratory. She imme
“Rescue you?” Penelope immediately corrected his erroneous thinking when she heard him use the word ‘rescue’. “I brought you back to the Zachary household for your own benefit. I’m not harming you. I’ll raise you well. Everything in the Zachary household will belong to you in the future. Don’t you want all this?” Sebastian crossed his arms in front of his chest with a nonchalant look on his face. “You mean to say that I’ll be the owner of this household in the future?” Penelope nodded slightly. This kid was not foolish. If she taught him well, he might be able to flourish as well as his father had. “Aren’t you afraid that I’ll kick you out of the house after becoming the owner?” Penelope had just started to admire him just now. She did not expect him to be so mean! Her expression darkened. “I won’t raise you to become a heartless rascal!” Sebastian shifted his gaze to look around as he said, “What if I don’t listen to you? Are you going to punish me? If you do that, can
Penelope had already expected Sharon to come with the Newtons. Therefore, she had done the appropriate preparations in advance. Penelope brought Sebastian and a group of her bodyguards over to the gate of the Zachary household. Sharon was here to look for her son. She stood opposite her. Simon had come along as well. They had only brought three to four bodyguards with them. There were not a lot of people. Penelope could not help but sneer, “Sharon Jeans, why didn’t you ask the Newtons to come along? The few of you won’t be able to take him away from me.” Sebastian could not help but feel worried. “Mommy, Daddy, why didn’t you bring more people over?” In contrast, the number of bodyguards on Penelope’s side outnumbered them greatly. “We don’t need a lot of people to rescue someone. We’re not here to fight,” Sharon said in amusement. Penelope felt like Sharon was looking down on her when she heard her words! “It seems like you have an exceptional relationship with
Despite having seen how skilled Claude was, Penelope still did not take him seriously. After all, she had at least a hundred bodyguards.She had prepared herself well. She had been waiting for Sharon to bring the Newtons over, but she did not expect her to bring so few people.It was hard for one to win a fight if one was outnumbered. No matter how skilled Claude was, she did not believe that he could win a fight against ten or even a hundred men.“Fight him at the same time. You’re not allowed to let anyone come near the Zachary household!” Penelope ordered her ten bodyguards to take him down at once.Simon did not even frown when he saw the ten men rushing toward them. Meanwhile, Claude did not bat an eye.Claude was still stepping on the chest of the bodyguard from just now. When the ten bodyguards came closer to him, he pulled out a gun from the inner pocket of his black suit and pointed at the men in front of him.The ten bodyguards stopped at once. Suddenly, none of them da
“He’s not an assassin. He’s just one of my bodyguards,” Simon corrected her. “I don’t care who he is. He brought a gun over and opened fire in front of me. Does he want to take my life?” Penelope was so enraged that her chest heaved up and down as she took sharp breaths. “Sharon Jeans, order him to kill me if you’re that capable! Otherwise, don’t even think of taking Sebastian away!” She was determined not to let Sebastian get away. “Why are you doing this, Penelope? I’ve never wanted to take your life. Keeping Sebastian with you won’t do him any good. His heart isn’t with the Zachary household. He won’t be happy here.” Sharon sighed. “Life is short. There isn’t much happiness for everyone. He needs to suffer at a young age to take over the Zachary household in the future. If I don’t raise him well, am I supposed to expect you to do so?” Penelope asked. She had looked down on Sharon since the very start.“I just want my son to grow up happily and healthily. As long as he doesn’
