The doctor had announced that the child Sharon gave birth to was stillborn, but things were not as simple as that. Penelope had bribed the doctor to tell Simon that the child died, but she had actually secretly transferred the child elsewhere.The child did not die. Although she was weak, she was still considered healthy. At first, she intended to take the child’s life so that she would not survive. However, she was born healthy and Simon’s blood flowed in her veins. Therefore, she finally decided to let the child live. However, this child could not call Sharon her mother. After pondering upon it for a while, Diana told her close associate, “Look for Diana. I want to find a mother for the child.” The maid did not understand what Penelope intended to do, but she followed her orders and looked for Diana. Penelope stared at the sycamore tree outside the window. This time, she wanted Sharon to give up on Simon. Simon stopped working for a week to accompany Sharon at ho
The signal on Simon’s phone was not very good. He could not hear what the other person was saying on the phone, but it had to be an important phone call since the person did not hangup.“Go out and answer the phone,” Sharon told him. He looked at her worriedly. He was not that foolish to leave her and his sister alone.“It’s alright. I’ll go after eating a little more,” Sharon said in a steady tone. She did not seem emotional at all.Simon nodded at her after a momentary pause. He took his phone and walked over to the side of the window to continue talking. He would not let Sharon face his sister alone.He continued to glance at the dining table to monitor Sharon and Penelope’s actions from time to time as he spoke on the phone.Sharon continued eating silently. Although Penelope had an unpleasant expression on her face, she did not make things hard for Sharon.For now, it seemed like they were both calm.Penelope did not say anything, but anger flared up in her gaze when she
The moment Sharon stabbed her with the knife, her emotions got even more unstable. She panted heavily as she pulled the knife out and tried to stab Penelope once again. “Give me back my child!” Blood splattered on her eyes. She looked just like a witch that had gone delirious from her own powers! Penelope could sense the strong sense of hatred that Sharon exuded. She was really going to kill her! She finally felt afraid. She regretted underestimating Sharon. She should have been cautious of her. After all, she was a madwoman! “Simon… save me. Save me!” Penelope pleaded with him in pain. Her wound hurt so badly that cold sweat had started beading her forehead.Just as Sharon was about to stab her a second time, Simon grabbed her hand that was holding onto the knife just in time.“Shar!” Simon shouted out. She looked just like how she had been when she lost control of her emotions in the hospital.Sharon was enraged because he was holding her back. She withdrew her hand forcefu
After returning to her senses, Sharon saw Penelope’s blood staining her hands. She jolted up in shock when she realized what she had done.She had really stabbed Penelope Zachary with a knife!At that moment, she had been overcome with hatred. She simply wanted to kill Penelope to take revenge for her daughter!However, she was now afraid. She knew that no matter how much she hated Penelope, she did not actually have any intention to kill her.Nevertheless, she had lost control over her emotions. Was she… going to become like her mother?No… she did not want to go crazy! Simon realized that she was trembling all over. She seemed to be extremely frightened. He immediately wrapped her into his arms. “Don’t be afraid. It’s alright.”“Simon, I’m… sorry…” She could only apologize to him. She was not apologizing for hurting Penelope but because she had made him worried.“You never need to say sorry to me.”“Simon, I don’t want to be like this. I don’t want to be like my mother.” Fe
The next day, Penelope insisted on getting discharged from the hospital. She wanted to return to the Zachary household with Diana and the child.“You know what to say later, right?” Penelope asked Diana when the car arrived at the Zachary household.Diana was carrying a baby girl in her arms. At first sight, one could tell that the adorable baby had just been born not too long ago.Director Zachary had made her the mother of this baby girl. She also told her that she had to tell everyone that this child belonged to Simon and her.She felt extremely anxious, but when she thought of her ill mother who was in need of money to receive treatment, she agreed to take the risk.“I know,” Diana said as she lowered her head.“Yes, you have to speak to President Zachary with a pitiful expression on your face just like that.” Penelope was positive that Sharon would leave this time around.Simon was accompanying Sharon in the living room. He was surprised when the butler told him that his si
Sharon looked at the baby girl. She had a small face, rosy cheeks, curled lashes, and a delicate nose. She was sleeping soundly in her swaddle. The baby girl’s facial features really resembled Simon’s…Somehow, a sense of adoration arose within her when she saw the baby. She wanted to love and cherish this child.Was she feeling that way toward someone else’s child because she had just lost her own child?If this were Simon and Diana’s child, she should find it hard to accept her. Nevertheless, she was exceptionally calm. She even felt like getting close to this child.“Are you not going to look at the child?” Sharon turned around to look at Simon.There was a stiff expression on Simon’s face. He was sure that this child did not belong to him. Therefore, he did not want to look at her.“No.” He rejected her immediately.“Simon, how can you treat your own child like that? Although Diana is her mother instead of the woman you like, the child is innocent. Even if you aren’t willi
“I don’t have other intentions. I just want to take a look at her.” She spoke from the bottom of her heart. “It’s late. You’d better rest. You can look at her after the result of the paternity test comes out tomorrow.”Sharon thought that her actions were rather odd as well. The baby was not her child, but why was she so attached to her?Eventually, she listened to him. “Alright.”She did not sleep well that night. She dreamed of the child that she had lost once again.The next day, Claude personally brought the results of the paternity test to the Zachary household.Everyone gathered around when he handed the results to Simon. They waited for him to read it.Sharon seemed extremely calm. Penelope kept staring at Sharon, a cold and mocking glint appearing in her gaze. Diana sat down beside Penelope with the child in her arms. She lowered her head. She seemed extremely weak and powerless.Simon took out the paternity test report. The results were beyond his expectations. He t
Simon stared at her. He did not understand how she could be so calm right now.Did she not mind that child’s identity at all?“What do you want me to do?”Sharon lowered her eyes to look away from him. “Since she’s your daughter, you need to acknowledge her. Otherwise, do you want her to wander the streets?”“Alright, I’ll acknowledge her as my daughter. I’ll make Diana move somewhere else. From today onward, she’ll be our child.” He planned to do as she said in hopes that she would feel better.“Stop saying such silly things. How can she be our child? She has a mother. You can’t separate her from her mother. That’s cruel to the child and to Diana since she’s the mother.”“Nothing I do is right. What do you want me to do, then? Do you want me to acknowledge both of them?” Although Simon had a good temper, it had reached its limit right now. The way she spoke made it seem like she was pushing him toward another woman.Sharon remained quiet at that. After some time, she said, “I
“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
