Eugene could not refute when his grandfather scolded him. After all, the old man was right.He had also expected that the old man would not be so quick to agree with the idea of him and Fern getting married.It was just that he was well aware of the old man’s temperament. They already had a child together, and she was pretty big now. The old master would not allow his great-granddaughter to continue having an illegitimate status.There were fewer family members in the Newton household now, so the old man was probably itching to rush all of them to get married and have children.Grandpa merely could not conceal his anger all of a sudden. He would get better after a round of coaxing. The older he became, the more his cold and stubborn temperament were dissipating.Rue could not help but feel somewhat distressed when she saw how her father was not speaking up after getting scolded.Although she was also quite afraid of this old grandpa, she did not want her father to be reprimanded
“No! I’ll follow Mommy’s surname!” Fern aggrievedly threw herself into her father’s arms and pouted her tiny lips, saying, “Daddy, I don’t want to change my name.”“Daddy is not asking you to change it.” Eugene had never once insisted on this since she was his daughter anyway.“How preposterous!” Quinn scoffed. The person he was scolding at the moment was Eugene, but Rue thought that it was because of her. The little girl was so terrified by his fierce old face that she started wailing out loud.Fern could not stand being silent anymore and hurriedly went over to comfort her daughter. “Don’t be afraid. Grandpa wasn’t scolding you.”Quinn did not expect that he would scare the little girl to the point that she would burst into tears. His old face tensed up, and he was out of words for a while.Eugene was somewhat in between laughter and tears. He pulled a long face on purpose and said, “Grandpa, you should be gentler with your words. Rue is timid. See, she couldn’t help but be frig
When Sharon and Simon walked in, they just happened to overhear their conversation. It seemed like Grandpa did not object to Eugene and Fern’s marriage. He merely disliked her job as an actress. She was even more surprised that Fern was willing to come to the Newton household and meet the elder.“Hey, Gene, you’re quick on your feet, huh? You’re not even married but your daughter is all grown up! I’m truly jealous of you!” Jim teasingly said with a half-smile on his face.As soon as he said this, someone slapped his head from the side. A woman’s voice started ringing in his ears. “Aren’t you embarrassed to say such a thing?! I’ve introduced you to plenty of girls. You should try and date one of them!”Scarlet glared at her son angrily. She was going mad because of his womanizing ways. Would this brat ever change his ways?“Mom, I already told you that I have someone now. I don’t need you to introduce anyone to me!” Jim rubbed on the sore part where she had hit him earlier, lookin
“Thank you for your concern. Shar has been accompanying me during treatment and rehabilitation recently. The doctor said that there’s still a chance for me to get better,” said Simon.“That’s good to hear, or my poor granddaughter would be crying all day again,” teased Quinn.“Grandpa, did you ask us to come back for dinner or a chat?” Sharon asked amusedly.“I asked you back for a meal to ask for an update on your lives. If I hadn’t done this, I wouldn’t have known that I had a great-granddaughter and that my grandson-in-law is back. Today is a good day indeed.” Now that Quinn was much older, he started to realize how precious family reunions were.At this moment, the servant came to report that Eryn Kent, the young lady from the Kent family, had arrived.“Quick! Bring her in!” Scarlet exclaimed excitedly.Jim helplessly covered his face. She had truly set up a blind date for him!After a short while, the servant brought Eryn in.Sharon looked over and saw that the Kent family
The atmosphere at the originally pleasant reunion dinner became a little strange because of Eryn Kent’s appearance. Eugene had brought Fern and their daughter back for the first time today, while Sharon and Simon, who had been missing for two years, had come over as well. It should have been a joyous day. Scarlet Hank was regretting it now. She should not have asked Eryn to come to the Newton household at this time. She should have invited her to meet with her son privately. After dinner, Sharon and Simon said goodbye to Quinn and left the Newton household. Both of them had something on their minds—especially Sharon, who looked very troubled. In the car, Sharon kept looking out the car window. It was unknown what she was thinking. A force grabbed her on the shoulder, and the next moment, she fell into the man's broad chest. “Why are you so quiet?” Simon’s deep voice sounded from above her head. Sharon struggled a little in his arms but finally relented and leaned obedie
“In a few days, Shar and I will bring Sebastian back for dinner,” Simon said. “It’s good enough if you’re willing to come back for dinner.” Surprisingly, Penelope did not force Simon to move back to the Zachary household. She paused for a moment before asking, “Have you thought clearly about having another child to save Sebastian?” Simon’s eyes darkened, but his face remained unchanged as he said, “Penelope, I can handle this. You don't have to worry.” “How can I not worry? Sebastian is the only child of our Zachary family. If you refuse to have another child to save him, the bloodline of the Zachary family will be gone!” Penelope had lost her appetite in the past few days from thinking about this matter. “Saving him doesn't necessarily mean having another child.” Simon remained calm. “I spoke to the doctor. The only way to cure him completely is for you to have another baby!” Penelope still insisted that Simon should have a child with another woman. “Sebastian is my chil
Simon felt terribly uncomfortable, but he was still staring coldly at his sister and the woman. In his scarlet eyes, there was a trace of ruthlessness that looked like he wanted to kill. “Simon, don't blame me for doing this. I know you won’t do this but this is the only way to save Sebastian. Just think of it as a sacrifice for Sebastian,” Penelope advised one last time. “Penelope, tell her to get lost right now or we really won’t be siblings anymore!” Simon said coldly. “As long as I can save Sebastian or add another child to our Zachary family, you can hate me all you want.” Penelope did not care anymore. After that, Penelope said to the woman, “Go over.” Although the woman was intimidated by Simon’s cold and stern appearance, she had accepted the money. Besides, this was a handsome man and she was not at a disadvantage, so she walked toward him step by step. “Go away. If you take one step closer, I'll kill you!” Simon’s words were not a joke. “Mr. Zachary, just let me
Claude immediately brought Simon inside to see Sharon. “What's wrong with you? Why do you look so unwell?” Sharon saw Simon in her office. “Mr. Zachary has been drugged,” Claude said. Sharon was shocked. “Drugged? Who did it? What drug?” “Go out!” Simon said to Claude. Claude nodded slightly before he turned around and left quickly. He closed the door behind him. Sharon walked over to Simon and wanted to ask another question when he pulled her down. Seeing his flushed eyes, Sharon immediately knew what drugs he had been given. However, who was so bold as to drug him? Before she could ask, he had lowered his head and was kissing her lips. Two hours later, Simon finally felt the effects of the drugs in his body disappearing. Seeing Sharon’s woeful look, he leaned down and kissed her back with some regret. “I’m sorry.” “Who drugged you?” Simon’s eyes constricted slightly as a cold flash flitted across. “Penelope.” “What? Your sister? Why did she give you such a d
“I’ve completed all of his final requests. That’s it.” Yvonne cast a final glance at Quincy, who was gripped with shock. She then left the room. Quincy did not say anything to make her stay. She kept staring at the box of ashes. She stared at the box of ashes silently for an extremely long period of time. Terry asked her, “Miss, do you believe that these are Dayton Night’s ashes?” She turned around to look at Terry. To be honest, she did not really believe it. “Why don’t you first look at the assets that he transferred to you and see if they’re real?” Terry suggested. “Help me settle this.” She handed the thick pile of documents to him so that he could verify them. “I’ll go now.” Terry left the office at once. Quincy stared at the box of ashes and muttered softly, “Dayton Night, what are you trying to do this time?” She was shocked when Terry told her that Dayton had really transferred all of his assets and finances to her after verifying the documents. “Does
Quincy was still deep in thought when her secretary called her through the internal phone line. Her secretary told her that a woman named Yvonne Leif was here to see her. She frowned. Yvonne Leif? After thinking about it for a while, she finally recalled. Was Yvonne Leif not the woman by Dayton’s side? Why was she looking for her now? If she did not die, then Dayton Night... Quincy’s heart lurched. She asked her secretary to bring her in at once. After a while, her secretary brought Yvonne into the office. From the moment Yvonne appeared in her office, Quincy kept staring at her. She had a shadow. She was not a ghost or a spirit… Yvonne was perfectly fine from head to toe. She did not seem injured at all. Did she manage to avoid the bombing on the island? Yvonne was wearing a pair of sunglasses and holding onto a box. She carried her handbag on her wrist. After a while, she stood opposite Quincy’s office desk.She then took off her sunglasses and met Quincy’
Dayton had a dark expression on his face as he stared at the island with a bleak gaze. He pursed his lips. He had no intention of saying anything.He did not want to leave the island. Yvonne and his men were the ones who forcefully brought him away.“I’d rather stay on the island,” he said after a while.Yvonne looked at him in shock. After a few seconds, she burst out in mocking laughter. “You’d like her to bomb you to death, right? It’d be better than dying after going through all the torment of your illness, right?”After a momentary silence, he said, “I owe it to her.”Anyway, he would not be able to live for long. He should just fulfill Quincy’s wishes and let her end his life personally.He would not have any regrets if he died by her hand.Yvonne could not help but slap herself across the face. She then scolded herself out loud, “Why am I being such a busybody?! Why do I insist on saving you when you want to die so badly?! I’m such a fool!”She really regretted her decis
Quincy cast her cold gaze in that direction. After a while, she said, “Let’s go.” Terry did not know what she was looking at just now. He only noticed the unpleasant expression on her face. He followed her and asked, “Miss, where’s that bastard, Dayton Night? Shall I capture him personally?” He did not think that she would let Dayton go. Quincy did not stop walking. “It’s fine. I know how to deal with him.” There was a hint of brutality in her cold voice. Terry was slightly stunned. He seemed to have understood something. He stopped talking to her after that. The helicopter was waiting for them outside. Quincy and Terry got into the helicopter.Below them, the island was in a huge mess. Nobody could stop her from leaving now.“Miss, shall we go back now?” Terry asked.Quincy glanced at the situation below and looked at him. There was an exceptionally calm expression on her face. “You brought plenty of explosives over, right?”Terry nodded and said, “I brought some along
“Doctor Leif, come over and take a look at Young Master. He vomited blood again,” one of Dayton’s men told her as soon as they saw her. Yvonne walked in front of Dayton. She saw the blood that he had spat out on the floor. She was no longer fazed. “You guys should learn to get used to something like this. After all, it’ll happen frequently in the future.” Dayton’s men were stunned. What did that mean? Young Master would frequently vomit blood in the future? Dayton leaned against the sofa behind him and closed his eyes. He did not have the energy to speak anymore. Yvonne did not want to chastise him after seeing his current condition. She clearly knew that he had given up on himself a long time ago. He was simply waiting for his own death. Therefore, she was not in a hurry to carry out acupuncture treatment on him. Rumble, rumble, rumble... A loud sound rang out from outside. Dayton opened his eyes immediately. It sounded like an airplane had flown over? He immedia
Quincy was so angry that her face flushed red. If she was not being held down by his bodyguards, she would definitely strangle him to death right now!Yvonne, who was watching them by the side, could not bring herself to continue watching them anymore. She felt extremely awkward as an outsider. Therefore, she got up and said, “You guys should eat slowly.” She left the room after speaking.She truly could not comprehend someone like Dayton Night. Why was he being so persistent with Quincy Lane? To make it sound better, he was a persistent man. However, he must be a nightmare to Quincy. She could tell how much Quincy hated him. Otherwise, she would not have taken Lennon hostage. She wanted to leave this island. Perhaps love was not only about giving. Some types of love were defined by shackles and imprisonment as well. Not only was Dayton trapping Quincy, but he was also doing so to himself. However, perhaps this was his final wish in life. That was the reason why he was
Yvonne stared at him. She was suddenly at a loss for words. Quincy was pushed back into her room. The door of her room was then shut tight. She heard the sound of a lock clicking into place outside. Damn it, Dayton Night. He got his men to lock her up. She had completely lost her freedom. Quincy had no more ideas. She could only fast. She would rather die than be imprisoned by him. She started fasting. Dayton’s men reported this situation to him immediately. He wanted to head over to take a look at her, but he really did not have any energy right now. “Bring her over.” He had no choice but to ask them to bring Quincy to his room. Before Quincy arrived, he asked Yvonne to help him to the sofa so that he could sit down. He could not let Quincy see him lying on the bed so sickly. Yvonne could not help but ask, “Why do you have to do this? You’re trying so hard to put up a facade in front of her. Can’t you just tell her about your illness right away?” “I don’t need
Quincy could not help but feel shocked after seeing Dayton’s appearance. He looked at her with a gaze that made it seem like he was about to eat her alive! “You’re on the island?” she asked him. Why did his men trick her? “Are you trying to take my men hostage to escape since you thought that I wasn’t here?” Dayton was filled with rage. “Dayton Night, what gives you the right to trap me here?” She should be the one angry at him instead. Just then, Yvonne chased after him. “You should go back.” She reminded Dayton after walking to his side. However, Dayton’s mind was only filled with thoughts about Quincy. It was as if he had not heard what Yvonne said. A mocking glint rose in Quincy’s gaze when she saw that Yvonne was on the island as well. It was no wonder his men were unwilling to tell her that he was already on the island. He had brought another woman over. It was impossible for her not to recognize this woman. She was the woman he had fooled around with at hi
Just then, Lennon detected the mocking tone in her voice. She was not at all concerned about whether they were tired or not.He lowered his head and peeled the apple intently. He did not intend to continue speaking to her anymore. “Let me peel it on my own. Your hands aren’t clean.” Quincy naturally reached out for the knife. Lennon did not think much about it. He just felt slightly terrified. He handed her the knife and apple at once. Nevertheless, Quincy simply took the fruit knife away. She did not take the apple from him. While he was wondering if she thought his hands were dirty, she took hold of the fruit knife and approached him. She immediately placed the knife against his neck. “Young Madam, you…” Lennon finally realized what was going on. This was her true purpose. Quincy stared at him coldly and shouted coldly, “Walk!” Lennon had no choice but to comply with her and walk outside. The men standing by the door were shocked when they saw her holding a kni
