“She seems to be recuperating well. Furthermore, she’ll be bored if she’s alone in the ward all the time. It’s good for her to have visitors. Am I right?” Jeremy asked as he continued to smile.Fern was listening to their conversation. If they continued talking to each other this way, an argument would definitely break out.“Even if that’s the case, she has someone to talk to. Outsiders don’t need to come here.” Eugene was outright driving him away.Jeremy was not vexed. “I didn’t expect you to be so concerned over her private life, President Eugene,” he said in a kind and patient tone.“Regarding this point, I’d like to give you a warning. You’re not allowed to use her for the purpose of gaining popularity ever again, especially by making it seem like both of you are in a relationship,” Eugene said in a heavy tone.Jeremy cast a meaningful smirk at him. “President Eugene, does your contract with her forbid her from dating?” For a celebrity in the entertainment industry, this was
Sebastian brought Rue to the place where he practiced shooting without Sharon knowing. They were in a manor owned by the Zachary family in the suburbs. Simon had asked someone to renovate this manor and transform it into a practice field since Sebastian kept insisting on learning how to shoot a gun. “Seb, do you come here to practice shooting every day?” Rue was curious about it after knowing that he was referring to an actual gun. “I come here every weekend.” After a brief pause, he continued speaking, “My master is extremely skilled. He’s a powerful sniper.” “Really? How skilled is he?” “His bullet will accurately hit wherever he aims. He’s also able to open fire before anyone even realizes.” Sebastian had yet to achieve Claude’s god-level shooting skills.Rue wanted to meet his master even more after hearing what Sebastian said.However, a stern expression formed on Claude’s face when he saw that Sebastian had brought Rue along with him. “Does President Zachary know
Claude glanced at Sebastian. This kid had told Candace that he was here.Candace was holding onto a thermos. It must be filled with chicken soup.“Have your injuries gotten better now?” Candace asked as she stared at his arm.“I’m alright. Thanks for your concern,” Claude said. He was not used to receiving such concern from other people.Candace smiled gently and said, “You lost a lot of blood when you were hurt, that’s why I made some chicken soup for you. You should drink some.”Claude had always had a strong physique. He did not think that he needed to drink chicken soup, but it did not seem like a good idea to reject her straight away.Sebastian nudged him when he saw just how nervous he was in front of Candace. “Uncle Claude, just have some of the soup. Miss White prepared it just for you. Don’t let her efforts be in vain.” Claude’s expression stiffened. With much difficulty, he forced himself to say, “Alright.” “Why don’t you bring Miss White into the house to take a
Claude was drinking the chicken soup that Candace had made for him. He was just about to take a second sip of the soup. Just then, he heard a garbled yell coming from the practice field. He tensed up at once. His experience told him that something had happened!He immediately put down the bowl of chicken soup and walked out of the door with large strides.“What’s wrong? Did something happen?” Candace did not understand why he was so serious all of a sudden. She had also heard the gunshot just now.Claude could not answer her. He did not know what had happened either.He walked toward the practice field. He then caught sight of Sebastian running out of the practice field with Rue in his arms. Rue’s arm was bleeding!“What happened to Miss Rue? Did you shoot her?” Claude cursed inwardly. He should not have left them just now!“I didn’t hurt her. Uncle Claude, drive her to the hospital at once,” Sebastian said. He was now in a state of panic. “Her hand is bleeding. I can help he
After the doctor left the ward, she glared at her son and yelled angrily, “Sebastian, tell me what happened. How did Rue get hurt?!”“Aunt, don’t get angry. I asked Seb to teach me how to shoot a gun. I was just way too anxious. I don’t know why I had a heart attack. My aim went off and I broke a pole. A fragment of it broke off and hit me,” Rue explained everything on behalf of Sebastian.“You! How dare you teach Rue how to use a gun? She was lucky that she shot a pole. What if…” Sharon had always disapproved of allowing Sebastian to practice shooting. She was even angrier now that Rue had gotten hurt after he secretly brought her to where he practiced shooting.“Mommy, it’s all my fault. I shouldn’t have taught her how to use a gun,” Sebastian admitted to his mistake at once. He had not considered the fact that Rue had a heart condition.Claude spoke up when he saw how infuriated Sharon was. “It was my responsibility. I should’ve kept an eye on them all the time. That way, an acc
Rue shook her head. “The injury isn’t serious. You don’t need to be worried about me, Dad. Don’t blame Seb as well. I was the one who asked him to teach me how to use a gun.”Eugene continued to frown. He knew that his daughter was kind and would always speak up for others.“You got hurt by the bullet, how can you say that it isn’t serious?” He would have to give Sebastian a warning later on and tell him not to bring Rue with him when he did dangerous things.“I didn’t get hurt by the bullet. My aim was off when I opened fire. The bullet hit the pole by the side and broke it. I got injured when a fragment hit me,” Rue explained everything to him clearly.Eugene let out a sigh of relief. Luckily, it was not a bullet… No, getting hit by a fragment of a pole was serious as well!“Did it hit your hand? Is it badly injured? Is your wrist alright?” He stared at her hand worriedly. Did she fracture her bone?Rue smiled. “The pole wasn’t heavy. It’s very light. I just bled a little after
“There’s no need for you to do so. I won’t put my daughter in the hands of someone as irresponsible as you ever again,” Eugene spoke to her impolitely as he was still furious.Sharon could not argue against him or refute him. She understood how much his heart hurt for Rue.“Eugene Newton, what kind of brother talks to his sister like this?” Simon appeared just then. He had heard their entire conversation.“If she weren’t my sister, I wouldn’t be so courteous with her!” Eugene yelled out angrily.Sebastian spoke up as well, “Uncle, don’t blame my mommy. I was the one who brought Rue along to my shooting lesson. Scold me if you want to scold someone.”“Don’t think that I don’t dare to teach you a lesson, you little rascal.” Eugene huffed coldly.“If you have the time to teach him a lesson, why don’t you spend more time caring about your own daughter?”Simon would not allow anyone to bully his wife and son even though they were partly responsible for Rue’s injury. However, he did n
Sharon planned to visit Rue after a few days. By then, Eugene’s anger would have dissipated.She received a phone call from Scarlet today.“Sienna? Can you come to the hospital right now? Jimmy has regained consciousness. He keeps insisting on seeing Riley, but I don’t know where she is. He’s disregarding his own injuries just to see her. The nurses are holding him down right now,” Scarlet said in an urgent tone. She was close to begging Sharon.Sharon recalled that it was about time that Jim woke up. If he did not wake up soon, he would fall into a vegetative state as the doctors had said.Sharon did not want to care about him since he had treated Riley badly in the past. However, Riley had selflessly donated her blood to him when he was met with a car accident. That meant that he was still extremely important to Riley.She agreed to visit Jim at the hospital for Riley’s sake.She grabbed her handbag and was just about to leave when Simon appeared behind her in his wheelchair. “
“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
