Hearing that, not only George and Paige were shocked, even Joey was also slightly surprised. It seemed that Sharon was smarter than she had thought, and Sharon was well-prepared to return to the Charles family just like she was.
Instead of angrily exposing George and Paige for the terrible things they had done to her, she helped them lie, and then according to their lies, she gave a piece of prove that put them in a position to be held accountable for their lies.
Sure enough, George and Paige were left speechless, and Sharon's calculation made them feel even more uneasy.
Not giving them anytime to make more excuses, Sharon suddenly kowtowed to them, pounding her head on the floor and said with tears, "Sir, madam, I just want to come back to serve the Lord. He is my most respected person in my life. The debt I have owed him is what I can't pay back in this life. I really want to stay him for the rest of his life. Sir, madam, please. I wouldn't have any other bad thoughts, or I will be punished by God."
Sharon emphasized the last words. She was showing her loyalty to George and Paige by swearing, in order to ease their vigilance against her.
Looking at Sharon who was so humble and sacrificed all her dignity, Joey suddenly felt a sense of chill. She was suddenly not sure if she was right to bring Sharon into the Charles family.
And when George and Paige saw it, they indeed eased their vigilance. The people who were rich and powerful loved to see others curry favor with and kowtowed to them like a dog. After so many years of peaceful and calm life, they didn't think a normal person like Sharon would make any sensation or mess up with them. As she put it, in the face of a noble family from the upper class, she did not dare to have any impure thoughts!
They even begin to laugh at themselves for their previous worries.
Allen, who saw his parents so comfortably enjoy Sharon's kowtow, immediately looked gloomy. In his heart, he never thought that people should be cheated differently by how much money they had. So, he couldn't stand George and Paige stepping on others' dignity. He took a step forward, helped Sharon up, and said in a decisive tone, "Come on, don't do this. You will stay here and take care of my grandfather. If anyone dares to say some vicious words to you, let him come to me, and I would love to see what he is going to do to you!"
He had gone beyond George and Paige and decided to keep Sharon.
Paige was angry that Allen had suddenly become so powerful and did not give her the dignity of being the mistress of the family. But before she could say anything, George stopped her and said, "That's enough. Just let her stay here. I would like to see whether my father's illness could be better. That's it. Dinner is ready."
