"I'm also doing this for your good. You have high academic qualifications. If you find a husband who’s not of equal standard, you guys won’t have any common topics to talk about in the future. I don't wish to see you regret it. So, it's best if you break up with him now." Mrs. White immediately gave her order.Candace looked at her mother, finding it hard to believe. 'Just because of Claude's academic qualification, she’s asking me to break up with him?'"Mom, can you be more rational about this? Academic qualifications aren’t important in my decision to be with him. We both have feelings for each other!” Candace patiently said to her mother."I've already said that you guys aren’t a match for each other. If you get married to him, you’ll only suffer. I don't agree with you guys being together," Mrs. White said with an ice-cold expression."Aunt, what you said earlier is wrong. My annual salary is seven figures, and sometimes, I earn more than that as well. As for my academic quali
"Of course not. I'm just afraid Aunt will be too angry and it’ll affect her health. Just go back with her and try to talk to her first," said Claude.Candace heard him and let out a breath of relief. As long as Claude was not giving up on their relationship, she would not give up on him.Despite her mother not agreeing to let them be together, she would not just ignore her mother. Hence, she nodded her head. "Alright. Then I'll take my leave now. Remember, don't ever break up with me."Claude said with a smile, "I should be the one saying that to you."Candace finally calmed down and looked at him with an unusually passionate gaze.Mrs. White dragged her daughter away after seeing her passionate gaze. "That's enough, let's go!" She would never allow her daughter to be together with such a man.Candace followed her mother back home, and both of them had awful expressions on their faces."Candace, break up with that man immediately. You're not allowed to keep in touch with him aga
Claude was very worried about Candace. After all, he had no idea about her condition.From far away, Sebastian had witnessed his master getting the door slammed shut in front of him. He ran over to Claude and asked, "Your future mother-in-law isn’t letting you visit Miss White? She hates you this much?'Claude frowned. He would not behave aggressively to Mrs. White, or else, she would be even more determined to not let him be together with Candace.'I can't force my way in, so what can I do?'"Master, I have a way to let you meet Miss White. Listen to me…" Sebastian pulled his sleeve, making him bend forward. Sebastian started muttering in his ear."I don't think that's a good idea, though." Claude did not quite agree to it after hearing Sebastian's idea."Right now, this is the only way for you to meet Miss White. You can choose whether you wanna go along with it." Sebastian allowed him to make the final call.For the sake of meeting Candace, Claude finally agreed to Sebastian'
When Mrs. White was walking to the house, she was still cursing. "Just which family is that impetuous brat from?! How dare he just run away after breaking my glass window? One day, I'll find that brat!"Mrs. White was already very mad, and when she returned home, she saw Claude entering her house. He even wanted to sneak her daughter out as well!She quickly increased her pace and blocked the door. "You… Who allowed you to enter my house? You're invading private territory! You're even thinking of kidnapping my daughter as well? I'm calling the police to arrest you!"Mrs. White knew that she was unable to fight a huge man like Claude, especially when he was a top-notch personal bodyguard. She had no choice but to report to the police to save her daughter.Claude and Candace were shocked as they did not expect her to return so soon. They even bumped into her.He could not bring Candace away anymore.In the past few days, Candace had been forcibly locked up in the room by her mother
Claude thought that since he wanted to be together with Candace, then he should not hide his career from her parents.He said honestly, "Indeed, I have a gun, but I'll only open fire at those who are trying to harm the ones I want to protect. So, you don't have to be scared."Mrs. White had lived for so long and had never seen a real gun. The sound of it made one feel fear. 'How can I allow my daughter to marry such a person?'"Stop talking gibberish and get lost!" She then said to her daughter, "Candace, come here right now!"Candace was standing at Claude's side, and her hand was tightly grasping Claude. She had no intention of listening to her mother."Mom, I want to leave with him," Candace said the words she had been keeping deep in her heart.Mrs. White's expression changed for the worse. "How dare you talk nonsense?! Come here!""Mom, I'm serious. I want to leave with him. I don't want to be locked up in the room by you again.""If you come over, I promise you that I won
"It’s fine if you want to take it that way. Just consider me dead." As Candace was talking, tears were seen in her eyes. Then, she slammed her head on the floor as a show of respect to her mother. "Thank you, Mom, for taking care of me for so many years. Thank Dad for me too."Claude supported her up. Then, she held his hand tightly. "Let's go." She tried her best not to look at her mother and wanted to leave as soon as possible for fear that she might regret it."Candace, aren't you going to think this through?" Claude was afraid she might be acting rashly. Once she stepped out of the house with him, she would be cutting ties with her parents.Claude did not wish to be the person who destroyed their relationship. However, if she was determined to leave, he would still bring her away."Let's go, bring me away from here." Her last statement was rather soft, as though she was about to lose her strength.Claude gave her a determined look. "Alright, I'll bring you away from here." He
Claude shook his head and pursed his lips, not saying a word. That, to him, was a difficult problem."Have you not seen how couples kiss in TV shows?" she asked again.He still shook his head. "I don't watch those types of shows."Candace sighed again. "It seems like I still have to teach you, then."He looked at her, puzzled. 'She knows how to do it? Didn't she say that she has never kissed anyone before?'"I've no real practical experience but I've read lots of romance novels. They show how the male and female characters kiss."The corner of Claude's eyes twitched. 'Are those books reliable?'Candace looked at his expression of disbelief. To prove that she could pull it off, she leaned over to him again. "Why don’t we test it out?"Claude was blushing a little and at the same time, feeling somewhat puzzled. He was indeed a naive man. However, she liked the way he was and that just proved that everything about him belonged to her.He pressed on her gently. "Let’s stop. Wait t
Sharon got to know that Mrs. White had worked at Y High School in the past. She just retired two years ago. In a few more days, Y High School would be holding a celebration for their 50th anniversary. They had invited retired teachers to return to the school to join in the festivities.After finding out about this, she had a discussion with Simon. They would join the school’s anniversary celebration as well.Simon smiled faintly. “We don’t have much to do with Y High School, though. You’re going to attend the celebration just like that?”“That’s easy. You can just donate some tables or chairs to the school’s library under your name. The school will definitely invite you to join the celebration then.” Sharon had planned out everything in advance.Simon nodded and said, “Your idea seems feasible. How about you? They wouldn’t invite you for no reason, right?”“I’m your wife. Is there any problem with me coming along with you?”His gaze darkened as a meaningful glint flashed across
“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
