Chapter 12

Sharon entered the scene while holding Simon's hand. Subsequently, she saw Howard's mother, Fiona, and… Sally!

Under Sally's gaze which was full of astonishment, she curled her lips and quietly grasped Simon's arm even tighter.

Sally's voice was slightly shaky as she said, "Sharon?"

They had not seen each other for five years. The current Sharon was no longer the same as the previous one. She looked the same, but she now gave out a sense of confidence and pride.

Sally could clearly see the provocation in her eyes. She was holding onto Simon and presenting herself as the victor.

Sally was agitated.

Fiona saw Sharon, the cunning lady who had betrayed her son five years ago, as well.

"Howard, why is she here?" She looked at her son with a stern gaze.

Sharon smiled and answered before Howard could speak, "Aunty, I'm here today to congratulate Howard and Sally."

Sally clenched her fists and glared at Sharon without saying a word.

Fiona could no longer tolerate it. She immediately waved her hand to summon the security guards to chase her out. However, Howard stopped her and gave her an eye signal. "Mom, grandpa is still here."

Douglas frowned when he saw their suspicious looks. "Why is it that you guys know each other?" He was the only one who had just met Sharon on that day.

He could not help but glance at Simon once again. 'Could it be that I'm the only one who wasn’t aware this lady has been with my son for a long time?'

Fiona clenched her teeth. She glared at Sharon and swallowed the disgruntled emotions she had within her. 'Why does she still have the face to return here?'

Sally finally recovered, and she let out a fake smile toward Sharon. "Since when did you get to know our uncle?"

Simon was the person with the most authority in the Zachary family. 'Things could take a turn for the worst if Sharon gets close to Simon.'

How could Sharon not have known Sally's thoughts?

She replied with a smile, "We just got to know each other. Oh right, he's currently my superior, and I'm his partner for tonight."

Sally was shocked. 'Superior? Partner?'

'I'm afraid Sharon is trying to use Simon to enter the party and create havoc!'

"Howard, I'm feeling slightly unwell. Could you please bring me in to get some rest." Sally felt rather flustered and needed some peace.

"Where are you not feeling well?" Howard quickly went to support her anxiously.

"I think I'm just too bored." Sally dived into his arms. On the other hand, she glanced coldly at Sharon who was in her peripheral vision.

"Quickly bring her in to get some rest then, Howard." Fiona was more anxious than Howard. After all, Sally was currently pregnant with her grandchild.

Sharon watched coldly as the both of them left the scene. Sally was intentionally trying to make Sharon realize how much Howard cared for her at the moment.

'She thinks she can defeat me with just that? If that’s so, she’s wrong. My feeling for Howard died five years ago.'

Then, Fiona accompanied Douglas to his VIP seat and sneakily ordered someone to keep an eye on Sharon.

Sharon noticed that there were quite a few people dancing on the fancy dance floor. She looked at the quiet man beside her and took the initiative to invite him, "President Zachary, may I have the honor to invite you for a dance?"

Since she had shown up, she had to do something to remind both Howard and Sally not to forget about her existence.

Simon became interested and looked at the lady's pretty, little face. His black eyes glistened, and he held her wrist with his big palm. Then, he led her to the dance floor.

The very next second, Sharon was standing in the middle of the dance floor as the man held onto her waist.

"Can you dance?" The tall man looked at her.

She felt her ears beginning to warm. "Of… of course." Her emotions were being influenced by him.

"Then, let's get started…" After the man had finished talking, he led her to the dance floor. Subsequently, they started dancing.

Sharon was not ready. Thus, she was initially rather passive. However, she very quickly adjusted herself to his footsteps and caught up.

Following the rhythm of the music as a guide, the two of them performed a romantic Waltz. Soon, everyone surrounding them stopped, and only the two of them were left on the dance floor.

Subconsciously, everyone around the dance floor began to watch the two of them as they danced.

A lady began gossiping softly, "Who is that young lady who's dancing with President Zachary? Why have I never seen her before?"

"They're dancing very well."

Sally, who was being supported by Howard, had just returned to the hall when she saw the two people on the dance floor. Their handsome and pretty looks, as well as their synergy, made those who were watching shower them with praise.

Sally stared at Sharon hatefully. It was her party, and she was supposed to be the main character for the night. However, Sharon had seized the spotlight from her.

"Howard, just look how shameless she is. She's seducing your uncle!"

Howard also saw the two people on the dance floor, and his eyes began to swirl with anger. "She still doesn't have that kind of ability."

However, the dance moves of the two people on the dance floor looked flirtatious. Their bodies were almost glued to each other.

"Howard, go chase her away, alright?" Sally could not bear to look at Sharon.

Howard had not acted rashly earlier because of his grandfather's presence. At the moment, he was of the same feeling that Sharon should not stay at the scene!

"Rest assured, I'll make her disappear immediately!" Howard said hatefully as he stared at Sharon, who was enjoying the dance.
