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
“Yes, I understand.” The call ended at once. “What’s wrong? Is Penelope Zachary causing trouble again?” Sharon asked after hearing the conversation on the phone. “You know that she’s been causing trouble for some time.” Sharon sighed in exasperation. “How long can you keep her locked up like this?” He could not lock her up in that villa for the rest of her life, right? Simon narrowed his eyes. “I’ll lock her up for as long as possible. She’ll be locked up till she knows how to behave and stops fooling around,” he said in a voice that was devoid of any warmth. He had given his sister plenty of chances, but she still continued harming the people around him relentlessly. ...Fern drank a little too much at the night gala. She felt slightly dizzy now. A lot of people recognized Jeremy. He had been dragged off by some people a long time ago. Therefore, Fern was alone. Eugene’s attention was fully focused on her tonight. It was hard for him to take his eyes away from her.
Jeremy met Eugene’s murderous gaze without backing down. He extended his arm and said, “Eugene Newton, let go of her. You’re no longer in a relationship with her. Give her back to me.”His words made it seem like he was in a romantic relationship with Fern and she was already his woman! The implication of his words instantly fueled the flames of anger in Eugene. He was consumed with rage! “Scram!” he shouted coldly. He looked just like a ferocious leopard that would go feral at any time. Fern was already drunk. How could he hand her over to Jeremy? Yes, he was shameless. Although he had terminated his contract with her and told her that he would give her freedom, he still could not completely let go of her.He would only ever behave so shamelessly because of her. Besides, she was the mother of his daughter. Jeremy’s smile grew wider when he noticed that Eugene was angry. “Does that mean that you want to top the social media trends once again for sexually harassing her?” F
As Rue continued staring at Fern, she pursed her lips and replied to her daughter, “No, I’ll go back with you.” She deliberately ignored Eugene’s gaze. A radiant smile formed on Rue’s face after registering her words. She then rushed over to hold her hand. She held Eugene’s hand as well. “That’s great! Let’s go home!” Her mother had not come home in a long time. Eugene smiled instinctively. However, Jeremy’s voice made his face darken once again. “Fernie…” Jeremy looked at Fern. He wanted to say something, but he could not bring himself to say it out loud. Fern looked at him apologetically. “You should go back first. Don’t mind me.” Jeremy was extremely sensible and considerate. He nodded and said, “Alright, take good care of yourself.” He knew that she was doing this for her daughter. She did not want to hurt her daughter’s feelings. “Don’t worry, I’m here. I’ll take good care of her,” Eugene said in a voice that was devoid of any warmth. Jeremy glanced at him and
Before Jenna could grab onto Jeremy’s arm, he moved away from her. He narrowed his eyes and stared at the flirtatious woman in front of him. “Don’t tell me that there are paparazzi hiding nearby. Are you trying to use me to gain popularity?” he asked. Jenna’s hand froze mid-air as an awkward expression formed on her face. She then withdrew her hand and feigned nonchalance as she tidied her long hair. Her red lips twisted into a smirk as she asked, “Even if I want to use you to gain popularity, you’d have to cooperate with me in order for it to work. Isn’t that right?” Jeremy stared at her without saying anything. She took one step forward and whispered to him in a cheery tone, “You’ve gotten pretty close to Fernie lately. Have you guys caught feelings from being an on-screen couple?” Jeremy stuffed one of his hands into his pocket and looked at her with an ambiguous smile. He asked her courteously, “This has nothing to do with you, right?” Although they had filmed a few mov
“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
