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. “
Sharon suddenly burst out into laughter. “Even I don’t believe what you’re saying. Do you think Riley would believe you?”“Tell me what I have to do to make her believe in me? I can do anything!” It seemed like Jim had his heart set on taking care of Riley.“You’ll do anything? Can you castrate yourself? That way, she’ll definitely believe that you won’t look for women outside anymore because you won’t be able to find one even if you wanted to,” Sharon said with a playful smirk on her face.Scarlet was shocked and shouted out loud, “What are you saying? How can you ask Jimmy to castrate himself? Won’t he become a eunuch that way? Riley wouldn’t want a man like that!”“That’s right. If you’re castrated, you won’t be able to give Riley physical pleasure anymore, but if you don’t do so, she’ll never believe you. What can you do?” Sharon was angry at Jim because of his scumbag behavior in the past. She wanted to joke with him and see what he would choose to do.Jim frowned and said in
Sharon did not tell Jim about Riley’s whereabouts. She did not know where Riley was as well.Riley had not told her where she was going when she left. Sharon had not asked her as well. She knew her best friend’s intentions. She did not want anyone to know where she was headed to.Before she left, Riley had told her that she would return after seeing all the sights outside to her heart’s content. When the time came, she would take the initiative to contact Sharon.Somehow, Jim did not continue asking Sharon about Riley’s whereabouts. His gaze had gone blank. The moment Sharon left, he shouted at her back, “It’s alright if you don’t tell me where she is. I’ll definitely find her anyway!”He had to make sure he recovered. Riley’s blood was flowing in his veins now. He could not make her efforts to save him go to waste.He would look for her after he recovered.Sharon paused momentarily. She did not say anything nor did she turn around. She opened the door and left straight away.
“Hmph, I knew that if we have a daughter, you’d definitely give all of your love to her.” He raised his hand and bopped her on the nose. “Are you being jealous of your own daughter right now?” She had blamed him for being jealous of their son in the past. Did she finally understand how he felt now? “You’re my husband. Of course, I’m jealous,” she blurted out her thoughts at once. She realized what she had said aloud when she noticed his intrigued gaze. An awkward expression formed on her face. “What did you call me just now?” he asked as he pinned a heated gaze on her. Sharon knew that she could not hide anymore. Since she had already said it out loud, what was there for her to be embarrassed about? She cleared her throat and said, “I called you my husband. Aren’t you my husband? Are you not going to acknowledge it now?” “I remember that we haven’t obtained a marriage certificate.” “Nice of you to mention that. You impregnated me before obtaining a marriage certif
Lena got curious when she noticed how unbothered Fern was. It seemed that she did not care if Jeremy was using her for popularity or not. “Fern, do you have someone that you like? President Eugene always gives you special treatment. Are both of you…”Logically speaking, as Fern’s boss, it was normal for Eugene to show her some concern since she had gotten hurt. However, he was at the hospital to look after her and take care of her every day. It would be hard to believe if both of them were not in a relationship.Fern’s calm demeanor vanished when Lena mentioned Eugene’s name. She frowned and immediately clarified, “There isn’t any special relationship between both of us.”Lena found it even more suspicious now. Fern did not mind the dating rumors of her and Jeremy spreading around outside, but she immediately gave a clarification when she mentioned Eugene one time.“Are you sure that there isn’t a relationship between both of us?” Eugene asked as he suddenly appeared. Fern glanced
“Why? Do you still care about her?” he questioned her.Fern took in a deep breath to stabilize her emotions. “I don’t have the energy to talk nonsense with you. Tell me how she is!”Eugene furrowed his brows tightly. Did she think that he was telling her nonsense?“Ask her yourself when you see her,” he said irritatedly.“Can’t you tell me beforehand?” She stared at his stiff but handsome face. Why was he suddenly throwing a tantrum at her?“Didn’t you say that you don’t want to talk nonsense with me? Why should I continue talking to you?”“You…” He was really something else. How could he talk his way out of a situation like this?!“Are you bringing her to the hospital to see me?” She had no choice but to ask him something else.Eugene put one of his hands in his pocket and said, “That depends on you. Would you like to make a video call or should I bring her to the hospital?”Fern thought about it for a while. Her wounds had mostly recovered. She would soon be discharged and b
“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
