Having lived at Jameson's for a few days, Sharon felt truly relaxed, because she didn't have to see Talon or Natalia Beale, although Jameson could be annoying sometimes too.
But she decided to go back to the Beale's right when she learned about Talon's return.
The moment she stepped her one foot inside the house, Natalia gave her a cold greeting, "So you take here as a hotel, don't you? Come and leave as you please."
Sharon smiled lightly, "Miss Beale, you misunderstood me.I've never had such thoughts! You see, not all of us are fortunate as you are, staying at home doing no work at all, only to chat and have your tea with friends when you're bored.No, I am definitely not that fortunate.I have errands to run.Mr.Beale should know this"
Talon Beale came down from second floor as Sharon was speaking.
He said, "You mean, you were not in the South City for the past few days?"
"Of course not.It was only due to work.I got off late every day and didn't want to disturb Miss Beale's rest, so I found another place to stay the night."
Talon stopped talking and gave Natalia a look, implying that she should go back to her room.
Natalia obviously didn't wish to obey, and just as she was about to speak, Sharon said, "By the way, Mr.Beale, I have kept my promise.When will you honor yours?"
"What promise?"
Sharon knew he wouldn't easily admit it, so she kept pressing, "It's normal for Mr.Beale to forget that, as you have many more important things to remember.But you have said to me, if I could make a statement that Miss Beale has nothing to do with everything that happened, you would make her apologize to my brother" She took a pause and continued, "Does that remind you of anything?"
Natalia spoke before her father could say anything, "Impossible!"
Sharon kept her smile, "Does Mr.Beale think so as well?"
Natalia begged in haste, "Dad..."
"Natalia,"
Talon stopped her.
He then asked Sharon, "How would you like her to apologize?"
Sharon answered, "I know it can't be made public, but the injustice done upon my brother should not be amended casually, which is why I have asked Mr.Jones to be the witness.If Mr.Beale has no problem with it, let's make it tomorrow.It's weekend and my brother will be available"
Talon frowned, probably because of the decision on the witness, but he didn't reply right away.
But Natalia couldn't hold back, "Sharon Allyson, you have gone too far!"
"And Miss Beale, you are the one to judge it?"
Sharon's face became indifferent and her voice grew colder, "You could've taken it out on me, but my brother! Has he done anything to you? And such a despicable action, Miss Beale, do you think what you did was honorable? Do you think it deserved praises?"
Natalia went pale, lips trembling, and could not speak a word.
Talon's voice finally came, "You don't have to speak more.Let me know the time and place."
"Much appreciated, Mr.Beale."
Sharon gave Natalia a smile and then headed upstairs.
Natalia turned to Talon in disbelief, "Dad, you're really gonna make me apologize to her brother? I..."
Talon raised one hand to stop her, "An apology is not gonna hurt you.It's not a big deal"
"How is that not a big deal? I'm not doing it!"Talon gave her a look, "Follow me to the study"
