“Ah…” she exclaimed softly. She covered her mouth as she was afraid that she would wake the others up. She then recognized the person seated on the sofa under the dim light. She patted her chest and asked, “Eugene Newton, what are you doing here instead of sleeping?” His deep and dark gaze was fixed on her in the darkness. After hearing what she said, he raised his right hand and swayed the wine glass in his hand. “I’m drinking. Do you want a glass as well?” He was drinking red wine. The dark burgundy-colored liquid sloshed around in the glass. Eugene’s deep voice sounded exceptionally sexy at night. It was mesmerizing. Fern had calmed down by now. She feigned indifference as she said, “No, thanks.” She then put down the cup and headed back to her room. However, Eugene reached out and pulled her down when she walked past him! She fell in his arms before she could brace herself. She shouted out in surprise. Eugene immediately pressed his finger on her lips and said, “Sh
Fern was momentarily shocked. After that, a surge of anger arose within her. She bit down on his lips with all her might! The sharp pain caused Eugene to stop moving. The taste of blood pervaded his senses. He raised his head and fixed a heavy gaze on her. His dark eyes emanated a dangerous aura.“Eugene Newton, you’re being way too much!” She was so infuriated that her body had started to tremble. He was the one who had agreed to terminate her contract. He was the one who had agreed to offer her freedom as well. They were no longer related to one another. However, he had harassed her time and again when he previously told her that he would give her all the freedom she wanted! Was he not being shameless right now? She had never met a man who behaved like such a scumbag before! Eugene did not expect her to have an aversion to his actions. The taste of blood was still on his tongue. His mind was still occupied by the thought of her staying together with Jeremy.He pinned
As the sound of footsteps approached them, the soft voice of a girl rang out. “Mommy, where are you?” It was Rue. She had woken up only to realize that her mother was not in the room. She thought that her mother had left her to go somewhere else once again. Therefore, she rushed out of the room in a hurry to look for her. Fern let out a sigh of relief when she heard her daughter’s voice. Eugene had no choice but to let her go now. “Get up at once. Do you want Rue to see you bullying me?” She stared at him coldly. Eugene did not want to let her go just like that, but he could not let his daughter see him in such a state...He had no choice but to suppress the sense of irritation bubbling within him and let her go.Rue caught sight of Fern. “Mommy, what are you doing here? Why aren’t you sleeping by my side?” She then saw her father. She frowned and stared at them suspiciously. “Mommy, are you going to sleep with Daddy?” Fern immediately tidied her clothes and hair. She
The room was empty when Fern came out of the bathroom after brushing her teeth and washing her face. Eugene must have gone downstairs. She sat down in front of the vanity desk and noticed that the skincare products she usually used were placed on it. They were all brand new. She wondered if he had asked someone to buy all of this last night or if they had been here all along. He should not have expected her to move back in so soon. Did he buy everything today? Just then, her phone rang. The call was from Jeremy. Her train of thought was instantly derailed as she raised her phone and walked over to the window to pick up the call. “Hello?” “Fernie, have you woken up?” Jeremy’s voice rang out from the other end of the phone. “Yes, I’m awake.” “That’s great. I’ll pick you up now,” he then said. Fern was shocked. “You’ll come to pick me up? You don’t need to…” She rejected his offer immediately. She did not want him to come here. “Have you forgotten that we have an ap
Eugene’s smirk vanished. He stared at her silhouette with a darkening gaze. She said that he was childish? Did she think that Jeremy was more mature and reliable than he was? Rue had prepared a simple breakfast for them. She fried a heart-shaped sunny side up egg for both of them.“Thank you, Rue.” Fern kissed Rue on her face. “Try it and let me know how it tastes. I specially made the yolk runny for you. It was hard to control the heat of the stove.” Fern used her fork to break the yolk gently. The egg yolk was really runny! “Rye, where did you learn how to cook? You controlled the heat of the stove well.” Fern never realized that her daughter had potential in cooking. “I learned how to cook from the chef at home. Daddy and you weren’t always home back then, so I found something to do since I was too bored.” Fern felt upset once she heard what her daughter said. Suddenly, she started having conflicted thoughts. Should she give up her career for her daughter? Howeve
Fern knew very well that Eugene made that inappropriate remark on purpose. Was he trying to humiliate her or show off in front of Jeremy? Regardless of why he did it, he had achieved his goal. His words made her feel extremely awkward. She felt even more embarrassed in front of Jeremy. She turned around and stared at him coldly. She corrected him, “You should’ve said that the three of us slept on the same bed last night. It wasn’t just both of us.”Eugene held Rue’s hand and stuffed his other hand in his pocket. He pressed his lips together into a thin line. Did she refute his words so quickly in order to clarify things to Jeremy? “I didn’t say anything wrong. I was referring to all three of us. Me, you, and Rue,” he said in a mocking tone as he raised his brow. “Let’s go,” she told Jeremy. She then got into his car. Jeremy and Eugene met each other’s gaze. They did not say anything. They simply glared at each other in a hostile manner. Jeremy then got into his car as
Yuki raised her head and looked up at him with teary eyes. “Really? You’ve been trying your best to rescue me all this while?” “Of course, I won’t leave you here just like that.”“I knew that you still care about me!” Yuki jumped into his arms once again. She hugged him tightly. “Alright, you should’ve learned your lesson by now, right? Don’t throw a tantrum for no reason and drive recklessly on the road.” Jeremy thought that this had been a good chance to educate her. Yuki pouted and said, “I didn’t throw a tantrum for no reason. It was all because of you…” She suddenly remembered why she had gotten angry in the first place. She suddenly stared at him and asked, “How about Fernie? Is she still in our house?” She still thought that his house was her house. Jeremy nodded and said, “Yes.” “You… How can you allow her to continue staying in our house? Why aren’t you kicking her out?” She hated Fern Thompson! “Are you going to behave recklessly again? She’s important to me.
Jeremy’s assistant rushed over and showed Jeremy the news that had spread online.“Jerry, everyone is discussing this incident right now. Our competitors have already hired bots to spread the news and make it into a large issue. If we don’t handle it now, I’m afraid that the negative comments online will only keep increasing.” Jeremy’s assistant had already contacted the social media platform to stop the news from spreading online. However, everything had progressed way too quickly. It would be hard to stop the news from spreading for the time being.Jeremy looked at the comments online. Most of them were cursing him. The accounts had similar usernames and the content of their comments was almost identical. It seemed like their competitors had really hired bots to attack him. The news articles online mentioned that Yuki was his sister. They said he used his status as a celebrity to get help from his connections and commit bribery so that Yuki could be freed in advance without havin
“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
