Jeremy quickly arranged a press conference. He and Fern attended it together to clarify those rumors on the internet.With the reporters present, Fern spoke about the grudges and entanglements between her and Eugene.She was not his lover. They were previously lovers in college but he later broke up with her.The child was conceived at that time. She had asked him if he wanted a child but he only told her to abort it.She could not bring herself to do so. Even though she was kicked out of the house by her parents, she insisted on having the child.She had no trouble raising the child, but she unexpectedly met Eugene again who pestered her and threatened her using the child. He insisted that she got back together with him.She did not sign a contract with his company, but he took her contract away from Simon's entertainment company.Together with his repeated threats using the child, she was forced to comply with his wishes and stay with him. However, she had always rejected him
He turned off the computer, got up abruptly, and walked out with a gloomy look on his face."President Eugene, where are you going?" Wyatt hurriedly followed him."To find Fern!""But you promised Sydney that you’ll accompany her for lunch today," Wyatt reminded him.Eugene paused in his steps, but he quickly made a decision. "Tell her I have something to take care of and I'll make it up to her next time."He could not suppress the anger in his heart. What kept repeating in his head was Jeremy saying that he and Fern were together.Wyatt saw him hurriedly walking away but he was not surprised at all. Fern always came first.When Fern received the call from Eugene, her first thought was to reject the call but when she thought about what he had done, she felt it was still necessary to ask him about it in person."Where are you?" she asked."Come out, my car is right outside." The man's voice was frighteningly low.Fern frowned. He knew her whereabouts?She hung up and then walk
On the journey, no matter how much Fern protested and tossed about, Eugene acted like he did not hear a thing. He even closed his eyes as if he was asleep.Without his command, the driver naturally did not dare to stop and let her out. The car eventually drove into the villa and stopped at the parking pad.Fern saw the familiar place outside. He had brought her back to his villa!As soon as the car stopped, he opened his eyes. It turned out he had not been sleeping at all. He just did not want to deal with her.Eugene got out of the car first and looked at the woman who did not want to get out."Come down." The tone of his voice sounded quite normal now.Fern crossed her arms and did not move, not even looking at him. It was her turn to ignore him."I'll say it again, get out." There was a hint of anger in his tone.Fern simply followed his example and closed her eyes to pretend to sleep.He deserved it for bringing her here against her will. Eugene did not make another so
When he mentioned that, she immediately thought of the despicable things he had done to stop her from signing a contract with Jeremy and her temper rose."That's right, you can’t stop me anymore no matter what tricks you play!"Eugene's sharp eyes narrowed. He gritted his teeth and said coldly, "You want to sign with him that badly? What is it about him that attracts you?""At least he won't play tricks to bully me. He really cares about me and treats me well." As a friend, she thought Jeremy was pretty good.Besides, he got himself injured three times, all to save her. She owed him a lot."You think he cares about you just because he did you some small favors? You think he got hurt for your sake?" He snorted with disdain."I can tell if he’s truly being nice to me. I don't need you to tell me what to think." She struggled and said, "Get up, let go of me."A layer of icy coldness coated Eugene's dark eyes. He stared at her eyes with a strong feeling of possessiveness. "I gave yo
Eugene came out after bathing and saw that she had gotten out of bed. She was sitting on the sofa by the window and wearing the clothes he had torn up earlier.There was a slight change of emotion in his eyes. He walked straight toward her with his long legs."Go take a shower and change out of your clothes. There are clothes for you in the closet," he said to her.Fern only looked out of the window and did not even glance at him. It was as though she did not hear his words.The man frowned, leaned down, and pinched her chin with his long fingers. "Don't give me that sour face. From today onward, you’ll stay at home like a good girl. Don't think about signing a contract with anyone else, and don't think about filming for the time being."Was he trying to restrict her freedom?Fern stared at him with cold fury and spat out only four words, "Over my dead body." She slapped his hand away.Eugene stood up straight. He only had a bath towel around his waist. There were still water dr
Eugene's footsteps halted, and he looked behind with a disdainful smile. "With these people of yours? Heh, I advise you to call more people over." Eugene wondered if Jeremy was underestimating his bodyguards. Jeremy tensed his face, but he did not feel embarrassed. "You restricting her freedom is against the law. If you don’t release her, I’ll call the police," he coldly warned. Eugene shrugged his shoulders without a care in the world. "Do as you wish." Even if the police were called, they could not interfere in this matter.Jeremy did not expect him to be so brazen. The people he had brought obviously could not put up a fight against Eugene's bodyguards.It was no mean feat, trying to take Fern away from Eugene."I'm calling the police!" Jeremy pulled out his phone and warned. The second he pressed a number, several uniformed police officers appeared from outside."We received a report that someone was raped," the officer said.Eugene’s eyes sank. Was it Fern who reported
Fern kept the evidence of Eugene forcing himself on her and waited until the doctor finished her physical examination before she was willing to take a shower and change her clothes.Jeremy sent her back to her home. This time, Fern took a shower in the bathroom attached to her room.Jeremy went to the study. What happened today had left him shocked. He still could not believe that Fern testified that Eugene raped her!After all, it was very difficult for women to talk about this sort of thing, not to mention reporting it to the police themselves.At this moment, he had a new understanding of Fern. She was too special—no wonder Eugene refused to give up on her. Perhaps it was true that he had approached her before and treated her well only to use her to deal with Eugene, but now, he would genuinely like to befriend her.However, even if he had changed his opinion of Fern, it still did not change his desire to seek revenge on Eugene.This moment was his best opportunity!He to
"Old Master, what do you think we should do now? Gene used to do things quite reliably, but now he’s ruined himself for good just because of a female celebrity.""You’re right. Of all the women he could’ve toyed with, he chose a female celebrity... He’s such an idiot!""I think he’s going to be sentenced for his crime for sure. If he goes to jail, what will happen to the Newton Corporation? We have to find a suitable person to take care of the group's affairs as soon as possible."The old shareholders and elders discussed among themselves. They no longer held any hope for Eugene. To make sure their interests were protected, they had to choose a new successor immediately.Quinn sat with his eyes closed. He rubbed the cross necklace in his palm, his taut face looking devoid of emotion."Old Master, please say something. What should we do now? We can't let the Newton family get hurt because of the trouble Gene caused, right?"Quinn’s eyelids moved for a while before he opened his ey
“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
