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’
Penelope looked at the man in the wheelchair before her. He had remained calm and collected since the very start. He spoke at an even pace as well. Nevertheless, he exuded an aura that made it impossible not to notice him.He resembled Simon a lot…While immersed in a trancelike state, she suddenly thought that the man opposite her was Simon. However, once she took a closer look, she remembered that their faces were not the same.This man’s eyes were the exception. Henry had a pair of eyes that looked just like Simon’s.She paused once again. The aura he exuded really resembled that of her brother.It seemed like he was a person with hidden capabilities. He was not what he seemed to be, so he was not just a boy toy who was living off Sharon’s money.Sebastian returned to his parents’ side. Simon positioned himself in front of them with a protective stance.He stared at Penelope and said, “Everything ends here today. I hope that you remember this. Don’t even think of taking Sebas
…While Simon and Sharon were not paying attention, Sebastian secretly looked for Claude.Although they did not allow him to learn how to use a gun, he could not suppress the restlessness bubbling within him.“Uncle Claude, can you take me in as your disciple?” Claude frowned. The kid pestered him for some time. If it were not for his father, he would have driven him away a long time ago. “I don’t take in disciples.” “Become my coach, then. I can pay you a fee,” Sebastian said with confidence. He had plenty of money in his personal savings. “I don’t need it.” “Don’t act so coldly with me. What do you need? I can help you with anything as long as you tell me,” he said. He was willing to do anything just to learn how to use a gun. “No matter what you say, I won’t agree,” Claude said. He then closed his eyes to take a rest. “Why? Are you afraid that my daddy will blame you? It’s alright, I’ll take all the responsibility later on. Besides, if you and I don’t say anything
Sebastian felt extremely pressured as his parents both fixed an odd gaze on him. “Don’t misunderstand. It’s just that he’s always been alone. We should find him a partner so that he has a girlfriend to keep him company and console him,” Sebastian explained in a hurry. “What obstacles has he encountered? Why does he need someone else to console and care for him?” Simon did not think that Claude needed a woman’s consolation. “Daddy, it’s wrong for you to think that way. You have my mommy by your side, so you aren’t lonely at all. Uncle Claude is different. He has been single since the day he was born. He has been through so many difficulties as well. Don’t you want him to have a partner? Do you want him to remain alone forever?” Sebastian asked as he stared at his dad like he was an extremely cruel person. After registering his words, Simon suddenly realized that Claude had indeed always been alone. He must be quite lonely. “How do you intend to find him a partner?” Claude h
