Reborn Through Fire
Chapter 112 Weâre on The Same Team Sharon was wearing a white sweater with a coffeeâcolored shawl over it., She was brewing tea elegantly. Looking at such a scene with the warm yellow light on her, it seemed as though the world was peaceful. She poured the freshly brewed tea into mugs and replied to the man at the door, âCome in.â
Howard took a quick glance at the surroundings, âThere are not any reporters here, right?â Sharon covered her mouth and laughed, âIâm an international star myself. Iâm not even worried, why should you be?â
Then only did Howard enter.
Just as he sat down, a man suddenly walked in from the divider.
Seeing that man, Howard felt nervous.
On top of his nervousness, he also felt inferior and unhappy.
Anthony sat close beside Sharon. He kept glancing at Howard condescendingly. âI heard youâre my distant cousin. Tsk, from what I remember, all my cousins are well to do people. Iâm not sure how I am related to someone like you.â
Howard held his fist tightly on his lap and replied with a smile, âMy greatâgrandfather and yourââ
âThatâs enough. Thereâs no use clarifying since our families are not connected. We just hold the same last name.â Anthony smirked while lighting a cigarette. His eyes were filled with disdain.
Howard took a deep breath, trying to suppress all the humiliation he felt inside.
He turned to Sharon and asked, âMiss Case, whatâs with the urgent call? Do you need any help?
âAbout the recent news, Iâve learned a lot. In just a few days, youâve transitioned from a Dâlist to a Bâ
list actor. The engagement is fascinating. Youâre so smart to come up with such a tactic. I pity my mindless sister who thinks so highly of you.â
Sharonâs sneer carried a hint of sarcasm.
Howard was not happy with the conversation topic. So, he stood up and said, âIf thereâs nothing else, I shall take my leave.â
âDo you think this matter could be a success without our help?â
Howard frowned, âMiss Case, what are you trying to say?â
âWhat Iâm saying is, my sister had sent people to your hometown to do a background check on you.â
Howardâs face changed. Sharon sneered, âDonât you think that you can fool her with your words. She is a genius. If it wasnât Anthony who built that tombstone for your âsisterâ and bribe the whole village, do you think that wench would trust you?â
He looked at Anthony instantly, âSo it was youââ
âThatâs not all. He even used his power to bribe the media company. Otherwise, with Gilbertâs power, he would immediately find out that it was you who tipped the media.â
Looking at Howardâs stunned look, Anthony mocked, âA man with no power, status or brains. Yet, he still wants to play tricks. What a joke.â
Howard clenched his fists tightly, âThe only reason youâre telling me all this now is for me to repay you.
Tell me, what do you guys want?â Anthony laughed frantically upon hearing this, âYouâre really narcissistic.â Sharon walked over, stood by his side and said softly, âLook at you. What do you have to offer us? Weâre telling you this just to let you know that weâre on the same team. Weâre partners in crime.â
Howard puzzled, âPartners in crime?â
âMy grandfatherâs 80th birthday will be next week. Hereâs an invitation.â
He stared at the invitation card blankly, âWhat am I supposed to do?â âYouâll know on the day itself.â
Sharon laughed mysteriously, âIf you can handle it well, youâll be an Aâlister in no time.â
Howard accepted the invitation card doubtfully. He felt uneasy.
