He reached out to touch Bonnie’s face and said, “I won’t be home these few days. Mrs. Carter will help you take care of Bonnie for the time being. If anything happens, ask the butler to notify me.” Diana raised her head to look at him after registering his words. “Are you going on a business trip?” she asked. Why was he sending another person over to take care of the baby? Was he going to be away for a long time? “You don’t need to know about it. Your only responsibility is to take good care of Bonnie at home.” Simon never had to tell anyone about his whereabouts. Diana lowered her eyes in disappointment. She had crossed the line. She thought that she now had the right to at least ask him about where he was going.“Yes, don’t worry. Nothing will happen to Bonnie with so many people taking care of her. Do whatever you need to do,” she said as she lowered her head. “Alright,” Simon took a final glance at Bonnie before proceeding to leave. Robert had been waiting for him at
Quinn had just complained about Sharon. The butler then came in with a copy of the morning newspaper.There was an odd expression on the butler’s face, especially when he looked at Eugene.“What’s wrong? Why do you have such a grim expression on your face?” Quinn glared at the butler irritatedly. He then took the morning newspaper from him.“Old Master…” The butler did not want him to see the newspaper…“Why are you acting so strangely as well?” Quinn had already flipped open the newspaper. His clouded eyes became focused as he fixed his gaze on the newspaper. His expression changed as well.After glancing at the newspaper, he glanced at Eugene again. His brows slowly furrowed as his expression darkened.“This is simply wonderful. I was wondering why both of you are back home. Both of you are having relationship problems!” Quinn slammed the newspaper on the table as he glared at both of them. “I don’t have any relationship problems. Don’t accuse me.” Sharon immediately clarifie
Eugene’s gaze faltered. “It’s a problem with my company. You can’t do anything about it.” “Really?” It had nothing to do with her mother? Eugene nodded and said, “Go on. Otherwise, you’ll be late.” Rue got down the chair and told Quinn, “Grandfather, enjoy the rest of your meal. I’m going to get ready to go to school.” Old Master Newton still had a stiff expression on his face just a second ago, but a kind smile broke out on his face the moment he looked at Rue. “Alright, alright… Walk slowly, I’ll wait for you to come back from school.” After Rue left, Sharon and Quinn both looked at Eugene. They thought that he would give a clarification, but he stood up at once and told the old master, “I’ll handle this issue. You don’t need to be worried about the damage to the company’s profits.” Quinn still looked extremely dissatisfied. “Aren’t you going to explain what’s going on? Didn’t you say that you were going to obtain a marriage certificate with her and get married? Is she
Eugene had guessed correctly. The man had splashed acid at them! Sydney started to panic the moment she returned to her senses. The burning pain soon followed. She shouted out in terror, “Ah… My face…” Was she going to be disfigured? “Wyatt! Catch that man!” Eugene shouted coldly. The instigator could not escape.After giving Wyatt his orders, he carried Sydney and took her into his car. He then shouted at the chauffeur in a heavy tone, “Head over to the hospital at the fastest speed you can manage!”Sydney cried out in fear. She could not stop trembling all over.“I’m sorry, Sydney. I must take off your clothes,” he said while he removed her clothes. Her clothes were all splattered with acid. He had no choice but to take off all of her clothes to minimize her injuries.She had shielded him from the acid just now. Some of the liquid had splashed onto her face. The areas of her skin that had come into contact with the acid started to turn white.Eugene disregarded the differe
Fern was holding onto an iPad as she scrolled through the news article and comments online. She felt like the incident had truly blown up this time around.“Fernie! Crap, something happened!” Lena ran into the room in a hurry. “Fern, have you seen the news? Your fan splashed acid onto Eugene Newton! However, his secretary shielded him. He’s completely fine,” Lena said. The tone of her voice revealed her disappointment when she said the last sentence. Eugene was way too lucky. “I saw it,” Fern said. Her gaze was still fixed on the iPad in her hands. “You know about it already? Sigh… How can this be? It would’ve been fine if he had gotten splashed with the acid, but his innocent secretary is the one suffering from all the injuries now. Have you seen what the netizens are commenting? They said that he must be blessed by the heavens to have a secretary like her by his side. I wonder what was on the secretary’s mind. Why would she shield such a scumbag from acid? Isn’t her life ruin
Fern did not expect Jeremy’s assistant to have recorded the video under his orders! He immediately thought of the future consequences after seeing Eugene trying to force himself on her and calmly carried out all these preparations before taking action to help her.Jeremy suddenly felt like a stranger to her. He was not as simple as he seemed to be. Of course, he had mentioned to her that he had been in the entertainment industry for such a long time. That was why he always prepared himself before doing anything. Take this incident, for instance. If he had not asked his assistant to record the entire incident, nobody would believe them no matter how much they tried to explain themselves.She lowered her eyes and chuckled. “It seems like there’s a lot that I need to learn from you if I want to survive in this industry.”“If you have any questions, I’ll teach you everything. That’s why I think that it’s best for you to sign a contract with my agency.” He was still insistent on t
“She was splashed with highly concentrated acid. That’s why… there are burns on her skin. We’ve tried our best to treat her wounds, but even if the wounds recover in the future, they’ll still leave scars.” His words implied that Sydney had been badly wounded this time around. The areas of skin that had been splashed with acid were ruined.Eugene’s gaze darkened as his handsome features hardened. He lowered his head to look at Sydney. He was about to ask the doctor something else when Sydney suddenly grabbed his sleeve and cried out sorrowfully. “President Eugene, my face is ruined… How can I go out and meet other people now? I… I don’t want to live anymore…” She was in despair right now. She looked hideous. She would never be compatible with him, and she would not even have the right to become his secretary after this. “What nonsense are you talking about? Cosmetic surgery is extremely advanced nowadays. I’ll hire the best doctor for you. Your face will definitely be fixed.”
Fern watched as Eugene carefully brought Sydney to the ward. She had seen this gentle expression on his face before, but years had passed since then. Back then, they were still in university.Her gaze darkened as she pursed her lips mockingly. Perhaps it was a good thing that he had another woman by his side.When she left the hospital together with Jeremy, the media reporters, who had been crouching by the side, immediately crowded around them.“Are both of you here to visit the patient? Can you tell us about the patient’s condition?” Fern had to give a public statement. Although her fan hurting someone else had nothing to do with her, this news would affect her as well.“After the doctor’s emergency rescue, the patient is in stable condition. I’ll pay for all her treatment fees,” Fern said.“Do you mean that you’re going to pay for what your fan did? I heard that he wanted to stand up for you by splashing acid on Eugene Newton, but nothing happened to him at all. Don’t you fee
“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
