Earlier, Sharon had merely asked Simon for a dance casually. She had not expected him to actually agree to it.
Who knew that she, who had taken the initiative to invite him, would turn out to be on the passive side; she was being led by Simon's footsteps on the dance floor.
Without her realizing it, the man before her was all that she saw in her eyes. Under the sparkling crystal lights, the man's meticulous facial features made him look even more handsome.
It was as if his deep-seated eyes had magical powers that were making her attracted to him.
Accompanied by the last musical note, they completed their last step. His arms surrounded her, and she ended up being in his embrace. She raised her head and looked into his eyes. At that split second, they made her forget everything.
Only when Sharon heard the applause from nearby did she snap out of it. Subconsciously, she got out of his embrace.
She lowered her head. "I'm going to get a drink." She left the dance floor rather hastily.
Simon looked at the woman who seemed to be running away, and his thin lips curled upward. 'Is that lady… being shy?'
Finally, Sharon came to the spot where the drinks had been placed. However, just when she was about to let out a breath of relief, someone grabbed her hand.
The next second, she was yanked forcefully away by that person.
"Howard? What are you doing?" Sharon was astonished by his sudden appearance. 'What is he planning to do to me with his aggressive stance?'
Howard did not let out his voice. He grabbed her wrist and dragged her out of the ballroom. At last, they came to a corridor outside.
Sharon used every bit of strength she had left to free herself from him. She said ruthlessly, "Where are you bringing me to?"
Howard turned around and glared coldly at her. He roared, "Sharon, get lost immediately! Don't think of ruining mine and Sally's banquet!"
Sharon smiled faintly when she saw how infuriated he was. "What's wrong? Are you scared?"
She looked at him with a cold gaze. Five years ago, on the same day, she was the most spiritless person. He married Sally while she had to suffer!
She was doubtful of the fact that Howard had ever loved her.
'How could he be so cruel to me?'
Howard raised his brows and snorted. "Scared? Me? Oh right, I'm scared to let everyone know that you're my ex-girlfriend. You'll make me lose face!"
Even though she was through with him, hearing the statement still made her sad.
She sneered and said purposely, "Yeah, other men wouldn’t tell others they know that they were betrayed."
Howard recalled the pictures during their marriage. His eyes began to burn with rage. He suddenly got closer to her and grabbed her shoulders. "Sharon, you're doing this on purpose, right?"
Sharon felt pain because he was putting force on both her shoulders. Nevertheless, she bore with it and even lifted her chin to face him. She let out a cold smile. "If you want to take it that way, so be it. After all, Simon is way more charismatic and handsome than you. Most importantly, he's the head of the Zachary family while you're nothing."
"You!" Howard was so mad at her that his face was apoplectic with rage. He lifted his hand and attempted to slap her.
