Chapter 14

Sharon stood opposite of Sally. Everyone, including Howard, was now looking at both of them. It has to be said that Howard was standing not too far from them.

He frowned and wondered what Sally was up to.

It seemed as if Sally was vaguely smiling while looking at Sharon. She said, "Could you please answer my question first. If you answer it wrongly, you'll receive a penalty."

"Spit it out." Sharon looked right into her eyes. 'This Sally is still so fake. She has no guts to admit that we both know each other in public.'

Sally's eyes gleamed coldly. "May I ask what you were talking about with my husband in the corridor outside just now?"

Sharon's pretty brows furrowed slightly as she knew what Sally was plotting.

"For that question, you should go ask Howard. He's the one who dragged me outside."

"I've already asked him, and he said you tried to court him. Is that so?!" Sally roared coldly, deeming that she was guilty.

A commotion broke out amongst the crowd down the stage as people started whispering.

Sharon's eyes sparkled subtly. Not giving her any chance to speak, Sally pointed at her again and said to everyone, "Everyone, that lady's name is Sharon Jeans. She's the lady who betrayed Howard five years ago during their wedding!"

Everyone was flabbergasted when they heard it, and they started pointing fingers at Sharon.

Sharon's expression changed slightly. It seemed like Sally was trying to expose her identity by flipping through old grudges and making her look bad in front of everyone again.

"Howard is my husband now, and you still haven’t changed at all. You even tried to seduce him!" Sally roared once again.

Now, everyone had begun cursing Sharon; they felt sympathetic toward Sally.

Sharon even heard someone asking her to get lost.

She clenched her fists. 'Well, Sally, what a ruthless card you’ve played!'

"I didn't seduce him. Ask him to step on the stage and clarify it in front of everyone!" Sharon wanted to see whether Howard would also be unable to differentiate between the truth and the lie.

Sally smiled coldly. “You no longer had the opportunity for that. Like what I said earlier, you’ll be punished if you answer it wrongly.”

As soon as she was done talking, Sally took a glass of wine and ruthlessly poured it on her face.

Sharon was not able to dodge it in time. Thus, she closed her eyes subconsciously, and the icy cold liquid flowed down from her hair.

The guests at the scene were dumbfounded as they looked at them; they even forgot to make any form of sound.

Simon, who was standing at a corner, had his eyes looking dark. He looked straight at Sharon, who looked so embarrassing. 'Is this her motive for coming here?'

He did not move an inch. He was looking forward to seeing how she would counter the situation.

Sharon's body trembled slightly as if she had traveled back to that wedding five years ago. Back then, Sally had also humiliated her in public in the same way.

At that moment, all the rage within her rushed up to her head. She opened her eyes that were now burning with anger.

Sally was startled to see Sharon in such a state and was surprised.

Sharon made her way, step by step, toward her.

When Sally snapped out, Sharon was already before her.

Sharon leaned beside her ears and whispered, "I heard that you're pregnant, but I know the child in your womb doesn't belong to Howard."

Sally's pupils suddenly widened before they shrunk. She felt as if the high wall within her had suddenly collapsed. It was as if somebody had suddenly found out the secret she had tried so hard to hide. A jolt of shock coursed through her, and she lost control of her emotions. Consequently, she pushed Sharon away.

"Get lost!" She roared anxiously.

Sharon was caught off guard after having been pushed away so forcefully by Sally. Her whole body was thrown backward, and she knocked the cake that was a few layers tall aside.

In other words, she toppled the cake while falling to the ground embarrassingly. Her face and gown ended up being stained with lots of butter.

The crowd shouted when they saw the scene and backed off to the sides.

On the other hand, Sally lost control and began shrieking nervously, "Someone, quick, get that b*tch out of here!"

It was obvious that Sharon's statement had triggered her.

Howard could no longer continue watching at the corner. He glanced at Sharon coldly though the latter was on the floor. Then, he took big strides and went up the stage to protect Sally.

Subsequently, the security guards were summoned. However, just when they were to capture Sharon, a cold and clear voice of a man was heard, "Hold it right there."

The crowd turned to see a towering man with strong aura that appeared. He strode over step by step, and everyone gave way to him subconsciously.

The security guards dared not take any rash action when they saw him. Each of them was scared out of their wits.

In no time, the man's long and straight legs appeared before Sharon. Sharon raised her head and saw the man's cool yet stern face.

Sharon did not know why but she felt a sense of grievance when she saw Simon.

She revealed a smile that looked slightly better than her crying expression to Simon. "President Zachary, I'm sorry for embarrassing you."

Simon looked at her from above. He did not answer her. His cold and sharp eyes merely looked at Sally, who was on the stage. Simon said calmly, "She's someone I brought over. Aren't you supposed to ask me for permission before laying a finger on her?"

His tone was indifferent, but the cold vibe that was being emanated from his body was more than enough to send chills down one's spine.

As the saying went, one should always seek permission from a dog’s owner before smacking it. Sharon was Simon's partner. Was Sally not giving Simon any face by humiliating Sharon in public?

Sally began to tremble with fear as Simon continued to stare at her with his cold gaze. Only then did she realize that she had misbehaved.

"Uncle…" She seemed to want to say something.

Simon cut her short, "Don't call me uncle, I have no right for that title."

Sally's face turned pale, and she dared not say another word.

Howard quickly defended her, "Uncle, Sally didn't do it on purpose."

Simon's cold gaze glanced over them. He tightened his lips and said nothing. Instead, he leaned over and picked up Sharon. Then, he left the scene while carrying her.
