...Just after Riley left, Jim arrived at Sharon’s place. Perhaps Riley had guessed that he would look for her here. That was why she left in such a hurry. Of course, Sharon did not treat him courteously. After he came in, she did not even bother to pour him a cup of water. “How dare you meet people outside?” Sharon huffed coldly. “What are you saying? Why can’t I meet people outside?” Jim asked in confusion. “You know what you did.” “What did I do? I’m not sure what you’re implying here.” “If you’re not sure, why are you here? I’m very busy. I don’t have time to talk to you,” she said in a tone that sounded like she was trying to get him to leave. Jim suddenly understood something when he noticed her averse attitude toward him. “Riley came to look for you, right? Did she tell you everything?” Sharon leaned against the sofa with her arms crossed in front of her chest. She did not want to answer him. “What did she say? Where is she? Is she hiding in one of
“Why are you so angry over an irresponsible person? It’s not worth it if your health gets affected by it,” Simon said. He could not help but pity Sharon when he saw her getting angry because of Jim. Sharon was so infuriated that she had her hands on her waist. It was hard for her to suppress the raging ball of fire in her. “You didn’t hear the rubbish he said just now! I pity Riley so much! Why does she have to bear a child for such a scumbag?!”“Actually… he’s right. It’s their choice whether to keep the child or not. You’re just an outsider.”“I’m not an ordinary outsider. I’m Riley’s best friend. Anything that has to do with her is related to me as well!”“This is between both of them. Jim really loves her, so he won’t allow her to be a single mother,” Simon said.Sharon frowned and looked at him. After a moment of hesitation, she said, “So you mean that Jim doesn’t really love her? He’s just playing around with her feelings?” If that was the case, she would definitely smash h
One of her subordinates walked in. “Do you have any orders?” he asked. “There’s something that I need you to do for me,” Penelope said. She then whispered something in his ear in a hushed voice. On the weekend, Sharon hired a maid to clean the walls at home. It had been raining for half a month, so the walls were slightly moldy. “I’ll probably need around an hour to finish cleaning,” the maid said. “Alright, let’s take a walk in the garden below,” Sharon said as she helped Simon up and prepared to leave. Sebastian had gone out in the morning to play basketball with his classmates. Sharon was still keeping Simon company during rehabilitation. “I realized that you’ve gotten much more stable lately when you walk. Why don’t I let go so that you can take a few steps on your own?” Sharon asked Simon as they walked around the garden. Simon felt that his legs were much stronger than before as well. He nodded and said, “You can let go.” Sharon slowly let go of him. He lea
Sharon and Simon got up from the sofa at once. Sharon stared at Simon with a stunned gaze. “Is Sebastian back?” Simon’s handsome facial features stiffened. “I’m not sure,” he said in a gloomy voice. The little rascal chose to come back home now out of all times. He was evidently at odds with him. Sharon saw the rigid expression on his face. She patted his shoulder and said, “Our son is back. Be patient for a while.” She then got up to open the door.Sharon opened the door and asked, “Didn’t you bring your keys?” She opened the door and realized that it was not Sebastian outside the door. There were two police officers dressed in their uniforms standing outside the door. “You are…” She was stunned. Why were the police at her door all of a sudden? Had Penelope called the police? However, it had already been a few days since they went to the Zachary household to bring Sebastian back. “Hello, are you Miss Sharon Jeans?” “I am.” “We’re from W Police Station. Ther
Sharon immediately rushed toward their lawyer, Mr. Kingston, when she saw him walking out of the police station. “How is it? Have they finished investigating?” she asked anxiously. Mr. Kingston had a serious expression on his face. “Mr. Henry said that the gun doesn’t belong to him, but it was found in his house. There isn’t any evidence that the gun doesn’t belong to him, so I’m afraid… it’ll be a little difficult.” Sharon was stunned. After a brief silence, she asked, “What’s the worst-case scenario?” “If we can’t prove that the gun has nothing to do with him, he’ll be sentenced for the possession of firearms. The severity of the conviction will be based on the circumstances, and he’ll receive a sentence of three years at least.” “Three years?!” Sharon was shocked. She did not even want him to suffer in there for three days. Three years was unimaginable. “Think about it properly. Where did the gun come from? If you manage to clarify this point, I may still be able to
Upon hearing Sharon’s words, Penelope was so stunned she widened her eyes as she stared at her in horror. After slowly recovering her senses, she sneered at her and said, “Are you crazy? You dare tell me such a shameless lie just to save him?!” Not only did Penelope refuse to believe this, but she was extremely indignant as well.“I know that it sounds ridiculous and it’s difficult for you to accept it, but it’s the truth. He’s Simon Zachary, and you’ve personally sent him to prison!” Sharon exclaimed.“Just because you say that he is, that makes it a fact now? Do you take me for a fool? Or are you saying I can’t even recognize my own brother?” Penelope was slowly becoming angrier the more she thought about this. “Besides, Simon left us two years ago! Why are you still bringing him up? You’re too much!”“I’ve always believed that he was alive and I’ve never given up searching for him. I found him in Chester Manor. It’s just that… his face and legs were injured during the explosion H
Simon became serious as well and asked, “What’s the matter?”“I told your sister about your identity,” she confessed.Simon’s eyes abruptly grew dimmer. He pressed his lips together, saying nothing.“You’re not angry, are you? I just thought that since she’s deliberately framing you now, I have to let her know who you are. Otherwise, she’ll never let this matter go.” Even if Simon were fortunate to get out of this predicament this time, Penelope would undoubtedly do something else next time.“I’m not angry. Truthfully, I’ve been thinking about when to tell her anyway.” He was a Zachary, so he had to return to the household sooner or later. Sharon breathed a sigh of relief. “Now, it’s going to be up to her whether she believes me or not.”“My identity is the truth, so she can’t possibly disregard it.” Simon was not at all worried about this.When Sebastian found out that Daddy had been framed, he anxiously went looking for Claude.“Uncle Claude, something has happened to my dad
“What the hell is wrong with you, Eugene Newton?!” Fern was abruptly dragged into the pool by him, so she was naturally fuming.“Since we’re here on vacation, we should be relaxing and having fun,” Eugene said as if it was a matter of course.“You said that we’re coming here for work in the beginning. That’s why I came along. If I knew you were lying to me, I wouldn’t have come to this sort of place!” She was already utterly upset by his act of deception. How could she still be in the mood to enjoy herself?“Then just treat it as you keeping me company.” He did not think that his request was too much.“You can play on your own.” She was not planning to keep him company.After she said this, she pushed him away and turned to swim toward the side of the pool.The slight smile on Eugene’s lips disappeared in an instant. He stretched out his long arms and grabbed her over, pulling her back into his embrace. He sounded displeased when he said, “Are you that reluctant to keep me compan
