Chapter 35: Leonard''s Possessiveness
Sharon did not think that she was an unfortunate child.
In fact, it was the opposite. She always felt that the luckiest thing that ever happened to her was
Leonard bringing her back to the Lefebvre family.
Ever since Leonard had brought her back with him, he had given her the utmost care and tried to
satisfy her every need. With him, she finally felt the warmth of having a family again and sometimes,
she would even forget that she was an orphan.
...
However, Sharon still lived her life to the fullest and always tried her best, never cking off.
While she may not be the smartest kid in the room, but just like the tortoise and the hare, she believed
that as long as she put in the effort, everything was possible.
...
Therefore, despite having such a powerful family supporting her, Sharon studied hard to maintain her
outstanding results.
They had given her wonderful education and afortable life, so how could she bear to let their
efforts go to waste?
Yet just because the Lefebvre family was such an influential household, most people would ignore the
hard work of those who put in the effort.
That was the reality, and there was not much she could do about it.
"Just because some people don''t work hard enough and don''t have the luxurious life they want, they
me it on not having rich parents. Tsk, tsk. How pathetic."
Mnie flung her bag onto her desk with a loud thud. Her voice had not been loud, but everyone in the
ssroom still heard her clearly and immediately quieted down.

Sharon peeked at Mnie, who stood next to her, breaking out into a small smile. "Have you eaten
breakfast?"
Mnie shrugged and sat down. "Nope. I heard dogs barking and thought I got the wrong ce." She
taunted.
Sharon said nothing.
"Who speaks like that?" A girl hissed.
Mnie rolled her eyes and turned to look directly at the girl who had spoken. "Well, karma is a b*tch!"
she sneered.
"You—" the girl started.
"The lecturer ising." a student said in a hushed tone.
...
The girl''s face was red as she bit her tongue.
Mnie smirked and straightened her back, her facial expressions regal and feisty.
Sharon nudged her with an elbow and joked. "You must have watched too many viin movies."
"Oh, shut up!" Mnie chuckled, looking pointedly at Sharon. "Who do you think I''m doing this for?"
Sharon grinned and pulled out a lunch box with a cartoon design, handing it to Mnie. "Here, it''s for
you."
Mnie''s eyes lit up instantly. She snatched the container over and opened it.
Seeing that Sharon had even included a fork for her, she narrowed her eyes, pursed her lips, and
humphed. "I''ll let you off the hook for today."
"Hurry, ss is starting soon," Sharon said with a smile.
Mnie nodded in acknowledgement. She picked up a burrito and started eating. "You''ve recovered,
haven''t you? Otherwise Leonard wouldn''t have let youe."
At the mention of Leonard''s name, Sharon twitched slightly. "Mm-hmm. I''m all better now."
Mnie glimpsed at Sharon out of the corner of her eye. She had not missed the sudden sh of
gloominess in Sharon''s eyes, but she merely pressed her lips together and said nothing.
"Here''s some water." Sharon collected herself and handed her water bottle to Mnie.
Mnie took a sip and said, "By the way, I have something to confess, but don''t me me."
Sharon snorted. "You can save your breath. I already know about it."
"So, did he call you?" Mnie''s eyes sparkled expectantly, and she eagerly turned to ogle at Sharon.
Sharon gave her an exasperated nod.
"Hmm..." Mnie smirked. "Simon seems to care for you a lot. Won''t you consider giving him a
chance?"
Sharon gritted her teeth and turned a deaf ear to her.
"To tell you the truth, Simon''s quite a good match for you. Both of you are close in age and have
powerful families. Not to mention, with his looks, the two of you would look great together!" Mnie
continued, unfazed by Sharon''s indifferent reaction.
...
Sharon took out her textbook and calmly started reading, paying no mind to Mnie.
"Besides, if you be a couple now, you can study for a master''s degree in the same city, or maybe
even study abroad together." Mnie suggested.
Mnie lifted an arm and cupped it behind Sharon''s ear and purred, "I think you should think about it.
The two of you would make the perfect couple."
...
Sharon sighed to herself. "Why does she act so differently when she''s with me? She can''t even shut up
when eating!"
......
Sharon and Mnie had just finish their lunch and were heading to the ssrooms.
"Sharon," a low male voice with barely suppressed joy called out from behind.
...
Sharon and Mnie stopped in their tracks and looked back to see Simon jogging towards them,
dressed in white sportswear.
...
The moment Mnie caught sight of Simon, she immediately tried to escape, but Sharon grabbed her
arm just in time.
Mnie twitched, her eyes darting to Simon. She mumbled to Sharon, "Three''s a crowd. I don''t want to
be the third wheel."
"Shut up." Sharon hissed without moving her lips.
Mnie pouted.
Simon stopped in front of Sharon, his eyes bright. "Have you recovered?"
Sharon nodded.
"Well, that''s good." Simon wore a silly smile on his face.
"Are you going to y basketball?" Sharon asked, after throwing a nce at the group of boys
standing not far behind him. They were wearing the same clothes as him.
"Yep! Do you wanna watch us y?" Simon invited, looking expectantly at Sharon.
"No—" Sharon started.
"Of course!" Mnie cut Sharon off before she could refuse.
...
Sharon ground her teeth, staring at Mnie wordlessly.
Mnie chuckled and reached out to hook her arm around Sharon''s. She said to Simon, "I''ll being
too. You won''t mind, will you?"
"No, of course not." Simon looked at Mnie, grateful. He mped down on his joy again before
turning to look at Sharon.
Sharon was now caught between a rock and a hard ce.
In the end, Sharon yielded to them.
......
At the school basketball court.
Sharon and Mnie were sitting among a bunch of girls who were squealing tirelessly because of
Simon.
"Simon, you''re so handsome!" A girl suddenly stood up from the audience and shouted at Simon.
Simon turned to the audience, his eyes locking with Sharon''s.
"Oh, my god! Simon Guerin was smiling at me! Do you think he has a crush on me?" The girl shrieked,
covering her face with her hands as she jumped up and down.
Sharon said nothing.
"Dang! What''s with that look? Simon was obviously looking at you." Mnie suppressed a smile and
whispered in Sharon''s ear.
"Well, I think he was looking at her." Sharon replied in a low voice.
Mnie threw her a face that said "keep pretending".
Sharon pursed her lips slightly and shifted her gaze to Mnie. "Let''s go."
"But the match''s not over. What the rush?" Mnie frowned.
"Have you forgotten that we have a math testter this afternoon?" Sharon asked.
Mnie froze, dumbstruck.
"Let''s go." Sharon pulled Mnie up and the two of them walked towards the exit.
On the court, Simon broke past the opposing team''s defence and scored a three-pointer. He beamed,
lifting the hem of his shirt to wipe the sweat off his face, and looked towards where Sharon and Mnie
had been sitting.
To his surprise, they were nowhere to be found.
The smile dropped off Simon''s face. He released his shirt and ran out of the court, ignoring the calls of
his teammates.
......
"Sharon, I really don''t think that we should have left without saying anything." Mnie peered at
Sharon beside her.
Sharon looked back at Mnie, her face serious. "Mnie, I know that you''re trying to put us together
because you think that he''s a good match for me and while I admit he''s a wonderful guy, I just don''t
n on being in a rtionship right now, alright?"
...
Mnie stared at her, silent. She was so desperate to set them up because she knew about Leonard''s
feelings towards Sharon and worried that she would get hurt.
While the Guerin family may not be on par with the Lefebvre family, the head of the Four Great
Families of Montreal, they were still a force to be reckoned with.
If Sharon and Simon ended up together, Leonard would have to think twice before trying to break them
up.
Because of her personal experiences, Mnie was more mature and rationalpared to her peers.
However, she was still a youngdy that had yet to enter society and see the real world.
So, she would not know that a man who stood at the top of the pyramid of power and wealth would
stop at nothing to get the woman he wanted.
...
Right now, Leonard was the apex predator, while Sharon was the prey he was hell-bent on obtaining.
Instead of suppressing Leonard''s possessiveness, Sharon and Simon getting together would only
anger him. Then, the Guerin family would be the one in the line of fire.
Fortunately, Sharon had not fallen in love with Simon yet. Otherwise, the consequences would be
unthinkable.
Mnie was clearly doing this for Sharon''s sake, but she did not know Leonard well enough yet.
"Sharon."
"Sharon Andre."
A male and a female voice rung out at the same time from behind.
