After a while, he let go of her and stood up straight. He stuffed one of his hands into his pocket as an ambiguous smile formed on his lips. “I can stand guard over you while you sleep, but you must remember this. I’m not your bodyguard anymore. I’m your future husband.” Quincy took a sharp breath. Her future husband? He could only imagine! “In your dreams.” She pulled the sheets up around herself, closed her eyes, and ignored him.She was actually carefully listening to his movements. She did not hear the sound of his footsteps leaving the room. Instead, she felt him sitting down on the sofa next to her. Her racing heart calmed down. It was fine as long as he did not leave.Dayton wanted to leave after she fell asleep, but he gradually felt more and more exhausted.He leaned on the single-seater couch and closed his eyes with a fuzzy mind. He then fell asleep.Sometime later, the room fell silent. Quincy turned around to look at him. He was asleep on the couch.“Dayto
Quincy had no idea how she managed to stab him. Her mind went ablaze as rage and anger surged within her. She gripped the knife tightly and stabbed him with it instinctively. She did not know why Dayton did not evade or try to stop her. He was wide awake. He had the ability to stop her... Warm blood splattered across her face as her body lurched. She let go of the knife. It was lodged in his body! She stared at him as her face paled. She had never killed anyone. Would he die just like that... Although she always talked about wanting to kill him, she was overcome with nerves now that she had done it. However, when she remembered that he had murdered her parents and ruined her family, she thought that he deserved to die! “Quincy Lane…” Dayton gritted his teeth as he called out her name. His dark eyes turned bloodshot as he exuded a hostile sense of coldness. Quincy’s hand was stained with his blood. She retreated instinctively and pretended to be calm. She said coldl
She could look for the seniors who previously supported her father. They had yet to acknowledge that ungrateful bastard, Dayton Night, as the inheritor of the Night Empire. Her gaze lit up as she told Sharon, “I won’t be leaving the country. I know where to go now. Thank you for helping me this time around.” “This is nothing, but… you’d better be careful on your own,” Sharon reminded her. “It’s alright, I won’t die.” Quincy was filled with firm determination. She then told them, “Just stop the car up ahead.” She had to carry out her duties. “You’re asking us to stop here?” Sharon asked in confusion. They were in the middle of nowhere.“Yes.” Sharon guessed that she wanted to do so because she did not want too many people to know her whereabouts. The chauffeur followed her request and stopped the car.Quincy looked at Sharon after getting down the car. She said intently, “You helped me this time. I owe you one. If you need my help in the future, please let me know.” Sha
“Mommy, is this child really my biological sister?” Sebastian learned that he suddenly had a younger sister after returning home from boarding school. “Yes, she’s your sister.” Sharon kept smiling as she looked at her daughter. She only had eyes for her daughter right now. “Huh? Isn’t she the child that Daddy had with another woman?” Sebastian had not forgotten about Diana although he had not been home for a few months. Sharon pressed her lips into a thin line after hearing what he said. Her gaze then moved away from her daughter and landed on him. She told him sternly, “She belongs to your daddy and me, not another woman.”“Are you sure?” Sebastian was still in a state of disbelief. He suddenly had a younger sister in the blink of an eye.“I’m very sure. Don’t suspect her identity. You’re her biological brother.”Sebastian had always wanted to have a sibling, but he got rid of that thought after knowing that his mommy had lost her last baby.“I’m older than her by more th
Sebastian pouted and said, “That’s more like it.” The gala was held on Saturday night in the banquet hall of Regent International Hotel. Simon had invited everyone he knew. He wanted everyone to know that he had a daughter! Eugene was dressed in a beige-colored casual suit and matching suit pants. He arrived at the gala looking like the embodiment of grace and stability. He had a frown on his face as he held Rue’s hand and brought her into the banquet hall. He did not expect Simon to invite so many people. The banquet hall was full of people. It was way too noisy...He just had a daughter now. Did he have to show off like this? He was not the only one with a daughter. “Daddy, there are a lot of people here,” Rue remarked. She wanted to look for Sebastian and her little cousin, but she could not see them anywhere. Eugene bent down and took his daughter in his arms so that nobody would collide with her. He was prepared to enter the banquet hall when Rue said, “Mommy said t
“Hello, little cousin. I’m your cousin. Why are you so adorable?” Rue looked at Bonnie with an adoring gaze. She suddenly felt like having a young sister as well. Sharon had dressed Bonnie up today. She was dressed in a princess gown. There was a small tiara on her head as well. She looked like Simon and Sharon’s darling little princess. Bonnie looked at them with her large, round eyes. She was shocked by the arrival of so many guests. She threw herself into Sharon’s arms and peeked at everyone else meekly. Her behavior made her look simply adorable. “Little Sister, don’t be afraid. She’s Rue. They’re our uncle and aunt. We’re all a family.” Sebastian had taken up the responsibility of being Bonnie’s elder brother. His gaze then landed on Jeremy. “This is…” He did not admire any celebrities nor did he pay attention to the gossip in the entertainment industry. Naturally, he did not recognize Jeremy. Sharon smiled without saying anything. She waited to see how Fern would in
An unnatural expression flashed across Fern’s face. She did not expect her daughter to have such thoughts. Eugene was shocked. He then caressed his daughter’s head and said, “We can’t fulfill your request.” “Why?” “It’s not a problem for me, but your mother won’t cooperate with me.” Was he not putting all the blame on her? Fern glared at him. What a sly and petty man! “Mommy, why won’t you cooperate with Daddy?” Rue asked. “You’re enough for me.” Even if she were to give birth to another child, the child would not be Eugene’s! “President Eugene, aren’t you misleading your daughter? You clearly know that Fernie and you are no longer in a relationship,” Jeremy interrupted. As expected, his words got Rue’s attention. She immediately looked at her parents and asked, “What does he mean by both of you are no longer in a relationship?” “You should ask your mother that,” Eugene handed the question directly to Fern. Fern’s head hurt. Although Jeremy had said that to p
Sharon fixed her gaze on the corner of the hall that the person disappeared from. She suddenly had a bad premonition. The silhouette of that person she had seen just now looked like Howard Zachary! However, Howard was still in prison right now. How could he be here? She must have seen it wrongly. “What’s wrong? What are you looking at?” Simon noticed her staring at a fixed point in a daze. He looked in the direction that she was looking at.Sharon returned to her senses and shook her head. “It’s nothing.” She then suppressed the uneasiness threatening to rise within her. Penelope had been imprisoned in the suburban villa for many days. In the beginning, she would go against them by scolding and hitting the servants who served her food and took care of her daily necessities. After going against them for a few days, Simon still refused to let her go. Instead, he sent more of his men to look after her. She then stopped causing a ruckus. One of the servants took a lapt
