The Heiress Strikes Back

399 Whitney Seeking Help

When she got out of the car, Jenna’s eyes were fixed on Sharon’s side profile and it made Wallace feel a little strange.

After Sharon settled Jenna down, she returned to her room. Wallace quickly grabbed the door and walked in.

“What happened today?”

She didn’t expect Wallace to be so sharp. Sharon was stunned. She turned around and didn’t face Wallace as she said, “I went to scout an outdoor location but I didn’t expect to meet Jenna in a dangerous building. She almost fell down the stairs and I grabbed her in time. I was so frightened then. After some time, President Tommy and Secretary Lydia came to visit too. It was so dangerous.”

Wallace looked at Sharon skeptically. He wasn’t sure because Jenna looked at Sharon with admiration and that shining gaze she looked at Sharon with made Wallace feel uncomfortable.

The servant called Sharon and Wallace downstairs for supper. Just as the two of them walked into the kitchen, they heard June and Xenon arguing.

“Why are you doing these things? Let me tell you, you... are too much! Our family will be made bankrupt by you sooner or later, do you know that?”

“How can that be? Didn’t I earn a few hundred thousand yuan from property speculation some time ago? I’ll make money from the artworks this time too,” Xenon retorted.

This made Sharon recall how she met Watson. It was because of Xenon. Recalling these memories, she couldn’t help but remind Xenon, “Dad, you have to be careful when you’re dealing with artworks. Don’t interact with unreliable people, or you’ll be easily cheated.”

Xenon snorted. His business had just started, and the people in his family were already worried that he would lose money. Thinking of this, Xenon looked up and lectured Sharon, “You’re still young and there are many things you don’t understand. I’m doing serious business. If you don’t understand, don’t get involved. I won’t disappoint you this time.”

The family had their own thoughts during the supper. Sharon looked at Xenon and he seemed to have decided on starting this business. She didn’t continue expressing her opinion and returned to the bedroom.

After settling some documents, Wallace returned to the bedroom. At this moment, Sharon had just finished showering. She had spent a lot of effort to avoid her wound while doing so. She then changed into a nightgown that covered her shoulders.

Wallace pushed the door open and entered. He saw that Sharon’s smooth and tender arms, and half of her thigh was exposed under her pajamas. Wallace’s throat couldn’t help but feel dry, and his gaze subconsciously landed on her.

Sharon was obviously a little embarrassed. Although this nightgown could cover her shoulders, not only was it as thin as a cicada’s wing, it also outlined her figure very well. Besides that, for some reason, this nightgown was so short that it only covered her thighs. She had originally wanted to make do with it and buy a suitable one tomorrow, but she didn’t expect Wallace to walk in at this time.

Sensing Wallace’s burning gaze, Sharon couldn’t help but scold him. “What, what are you looking at! What’s there to see!”

Wallace coughed slightly and looked away.

The two of them tacitly did not mention the kiss that day, but both of them knew that the atmosphere between them seemed to be different from before.

“Why are you here? Isn’t your room beside mine?” Sharon asked softly with a red face.

Wallace touched his nose and said naturally, “The auntie at home washed my bedding today and it hasn’t dried yet. I don’t have anywhere to sleep. There’s only one guest room at home and I gave it to Jenna.”

“Coincidentally, I have another set in my cabinet,” Sharon said as she walked to the side with a smile. She picked up a new set of bedding and handed it to Wallace.

Looking at the pink and purple bedding, Wallace couldn’t help but take a deep breath. His little wife was really well-prepared!

“You... are so good to me.” Wallace felt a little helpless. With such a situation, when could he sleep with his wife?

“Hurry up and go back to sleep!” Sharon pushed Wallace out.

Huo Xuan, who was standing at the door, hugged the bedding and smelled the faint fragrance. Although he was helpless, he couldn’t help but feel excited.

He did not notice June, who was standing at the corner of the stairs with an abnormally ugly expression.

The next morning, Sharon received a message from Wallace. “I’m going on a business trip these two days. The company is about to be listed and some things have to be done. I have to find some orders too. Don’t worry about my mother at home. Help me take a look at my father. Don’t let him fall into someone else’s trap. Take good care of yourself and wait for me to come back.”

Sharon blushed and was about to go downstairs to the company when her phone rang. It was Whitney’s scream. “Save me! Sharon, save me!”
