When she went downstairs, she saw Sebastian making a ruckus inside the house as though he was a little overlord. None of the maids could do anything about it.“Why are you making such a ruckus? How unruly!” Penelope sternly scolded him with a sullen face.“Aunty, the housekeeper said that you were sleeping? You framed daddy and now he’s in jail. How can you sleep so soundly?”Penelope sat down on the sofa and rubbed her aching temples. She slowly said, “And why can’t I sleep? He went to jail because of the crime he committed. What does it have to do with me?”“I never thought you’d be so heartless, Aunty. Daddy’s your real brother, but you went as far as to ignore this and frame him. I don’t want to live with such a vicious person!” Sebastian said to her with a cold face. Penelope looked at him. Did he also say that Henry was Simon?“Oh, I understand now. You deliberately sent Daddy to jail so that you can continue to be the lady of the house, right?”Penelope was still thinkin
At the police station, Simon could not come up with evidence to prove that the gun was not his, and the investigation yielded no other results. Hence, the police station planned to hand him over to the judiciary and prepare for his sentencing.Sharon naturally could not sit still and watch on. Was Penelope still refusing to accept the fact that he was Simon Zachary?When Penelope came in with Sebastian, the police officers were just about to send Simon over to the judicial authority.“Wait! The gun isn’t his, and I have evidence,” Penelope immediately yelled out, trying to stop them.“That’s right! Mr. Policeman, this truly has nothing to do with my father. My aunt was the one who framed him! She’s here to confess her crime!” Sebastian said while running over.Sharon was startled. Did Penelope come here to confess her crime? How was that possible?Penelope could feel her blood boiling upon hearing this. Did the brat hold such a massive grudge against her? Who said that she was he
“So how would you like me to thank you?” he asked his son.“You don’t have to do much. Just allow Uncle Claude to teach me how to use guns.”“Don’t say those things here, Sebastian. And don’t even think about it. Even if your father agrees, I won’t.” Sharon crushed her son’s little hopes immediately.“You’re too much, Mommy!” Sebastian had done so much just so that his daddy would agree to it. However, Mommy was the one who was going to decide this for him?“This matter will not be discussed further.” Sharon’s face looked strict and impartial.“Tell her, Daddy. Do you agree?” Sebastian turned around and asked Simon.Simon glanced at Sharon and shook his head, saying, “I’ll follow your mommy’s decision.”“Why you...” Sebastian was getting sulky. “You’re so miserable, Daddy. How can you listen to Mommy all the time? Can’t you show a little bit of your masculinity?”“You can disobey her as well, so why are you asking for my opinion?” Simon did not think that there was anything wro
Neither Simon or Penelope relented in front of the police station. The siblings had always been this stubborn, and neither one of them was willing to give in.Sharon was genuinely afraid. She wanted to say something to persuade them to at least not make a scene here.“This should be a happy occasion, two siblings have reunited at last. How about I buy some ingredients and cook us something delicious tonight? Why don’t you come over and have a meal with us, Penelope?”Even though she was somewhat reluctant to have Penelope be a guest in her house, she was still Simon’s only sister after all. Sharon genuinely did not wish to see them argue incessantly.It was just that for Penelope, Sharon was truly despicable. It was understandable when Sebastian wanted to stay with his mother and refused to return to the Zachary household. However, even Simon was so bewitched by her that he refused to come home as well!The two father and son were entirely in Sharon Jeans’ grasp!“Who said anythi
“Don’t come here, or I’ll jump!” Sebastian stood up at this moment, completely disregarding the danger.Sharon halted her footsteps, not daring to stir him up further. “Okay, okay. I’ll not go over, but you have to come over.”“First, you have to give me your word. Only then will I go over!”“Are… Are you trying to piss off your mother?” She only refused to let him learn anything about guns because of the danger he would face in the future after learning that skill.Seeing the mother and son quarreling, Simon, who had been silent for a while, said in a deep voice, “I give you my word.”Both of them looked at him at the same time. Sebastian could not help but get excited, exclaiming, “What did you say, Daddy? Are you agreeing to let Uncle Claude teach me more about guns?”“Yeah,” said Simon as he nodded.Sharon furrowed her eyebrows as she looked at him. She was extremely bewildered. “Simon?” Why are you agreeing to it?”“Let him learn if he wants to. It’s not a big deal anyway.
“Who is it? Why aren’t you opening the door?” Riley walked over and asked Sharon.“It’s Jim,” said Sharon as she turned to look at her.There was instantly a change in Riley’s expression. “How did he know where to find me? Did you bring him here?”“I’m the last one you should doubt here. Would I ever betray you like that?” Sharon scoffed as she furrowed her brows. “Did he perhaps follow me here? But when I came over, there was no one behind me!”“No one would know the answer to that. Plus, he’s always been such a shameless person!” Riley was not at all surprised that he would go as far as to stalk someone.“What do we do now? Do you want to see him?” Sharon thought that they should be talking things out rather than avoiding each other entirely.However, she was merely a bystander and the decision was still in Riley’s hands.“I don’t want to see him. Since he came here by following you, you figure it out.”As soon as Riley said this, Jim stopped ringing the doorbell and started
“Jim Newton! Riley is my best friend, so if you do anything to her, I won’t let you off!” She had no idea what this bastard Jim was up to now.“I’m trying to talk to her, so there’s no need for her best friend to meddle in,” Jim said from the other side of the door.When Riley recovered her senses and chased after Jim, Sharon had already been pushed out of the door by him.“Aren’t you going too far, Jim Newton?! This is my house!”“I know. I just want to talk to you alone. Don’t get too stirred up now. It’s bad for the fetus.”She only found his words ironic. She took a deep breath and said, “I think you’d prefer it if the fetus were gone, right? Weren’t you planning on being the executioner who’s planning to kill your own child?!”Jim furrowed his eyebrows deeply. “Can you stop uttering such unpleasant words? I was merely doing it for your own sake. I didn’t want you to end up with a child before marriage or become a single mother.”“That just means you’re not planning to take
Once Simon agreed to let Claude teach Sebastian more about guns, the kid excitedly came over to look for Claude.Since the boss himself had given his consent, Claude was no longer hesitant as well. He began to teach Sebastian wholeheartedly.“Today’s your first lesson with guns. But before that, I’d like to make some things clear to you and you have to keep these things in mind,” said Claude.“Yes, sir!” Sebastian was even more serious about this than attending his classes at school.“You told me that you wanted to be a powerful sniper. This is not an easily achievable goal. In addition to bitterly hard practices, the other thing you have to pay attention to is to treat the gun as if it’s a part of yourself, an extension of your hand. You can hit anything if you want to, and to put it simply, you have to become one with the gun itself. Once you reach this level, you’ll be a powerful sniper as well.”Sebastian gave it a thought for a moment and said, “I got it!”“Okay, let’s begin
