Watch Out, CEO Daddy! novel Chapter 16

Despite being faced with such a grand scene, Simon's expression remained unchanged. He took his sweet time and strode forward.

"I'm home, dad," Simon greeted Douglas, who was sitting at the main seat. Subsequently, he turned to look at the people beside him. "You're here as well, sister-in-law?"

Fiona was his sister-in-law. Five years ago, his elder brother passed away in a car accident. Consequently, he had to return to take over the Zachary family.

After the accident concerning Simon’s elder brother, Fiona and Howard moved out. They had done so as they did not want to stay in the house; they kept seeing items that jogged their memory about a certain person.

Douglas looked at him with a stern expression. He asked in a deep tone, "Where have you been? Why have you only reached home now?"

Simon raised his long brows as he found it rather hilarious. "Dad, I'm already a grown-up. I don't see what’s the problem with me coming back home slightly late."

In truth, he was well aware that his father was questioning him about his whereabouts so that he could find out if he had been together with Sharon.

Douglas snorted loudly. "Where's that lady named Sharon? She destroyed the banquet, and although she didn’t bear its consequences, you took her away?"

Fiona, who was just beside Douglas, had wanted to question Simon long ago. Since Douglas had brought up the matter, she could not hold herself back. She said, "Simon, Sharon is not a good lady. Five years ago, she did something and betrayed Howard. Now, her return spells nothing but trouble. You should stay away from that lady.”

"Yeah, Sharon is a lady who isn’t as simple as you might think. In the past, I was foolish enough to be her best friend; I wasn’t able to see through her true colors. I only realized later on that she had hooked up with another man even though she already had a boyfriend. Without Howard's knowledge, she went to other men and seduced her. I pitied Howard back then."

Sally put on a sorrowful look as she added on to Fiona's statement. She hated Sharon immensely as her wedding anniversary had been trashed.

Not to mention, Sharon had made her lose her composure in public. Consequently, everyone’s impression of her as an elegant lady had now disappeared into thin air. She could not wait to see Sharon vanish immediately!

What made her terrified was the comment that Sharon had whispered in her ear. 'Has Sharon found out something?'

Subconsciously, she raised her hand and touched her stomach as her body fumbled slightly.

Howard did not say a word. He noticed that she was trembling and thus thought she was shaking out of infuriation. Feeling heartbroken, he hugged Sally and gently held her back as he comforted her.

After hearing their ruthless comment about Sharon, Simon said indifferently, "What's does the sort of person she is have anything to do with me? She was my partner tonight, and she was being bullied. Evidently, I had to stand on her side."

"Didn't you hear them say that she's a playgirl? Do you think any good will happen with such a lady getting close to you?" Douglas believed in what Fiona had said and was determined not to allow his son to get near such a woman.

"What evidence do you guys have to prove that she's a playgirl? Just a few statements and you guys convict her of being guilty?" Simon replied calmly.

"There is evidence. There are photos to prove it!" Sally suddenly said out of anxiety.

"Oh? Where are the photos then?" Simon asked.
