“It’s not that I don’t trust you. I just don’t want you to take such a big risk for me. Besides, a lot of companies have contacted me and there are a few good companies among them. As long as I sign a contract with one of those companies, I can definitely film any movie I want.” Jeremy fixed his gaze on her. After a while, he sighed out loud. “Alright, I’ll listen to you. Perhaps this will be better for both of us.” He was extremely annoyed because Eugene did not have to go to prison. He was thinking of another way to go against him. Fern extended her arm to him. “Let’s work together again if the opportunity arises.” Jeremy smiled at her. “Don’t worry about that. We’re both in the same industry. We’ll work together sooner or later.” He then shook her hand. Actually, Fern was not being honest with him. None of the companies out there had contacted her or offered to sign a contract with her. Plenty of companies were avoiding her. Although she had proved that she had
Eugene was meeting one of his friends here tonight. He did not expect to bump into Fern here. He looked extremely cold on the surface. It seemed like he had stopped paying attention to her after casting an icy glance at her. However, he had noticed her exquisite makeup and the elegant dress that she was wearing. It looked like she was here to meet someone important. His eyes gleamed coldly. Did she intend to meet up with Jeremy in secret over here? A gloomy haze loomed over him, but he let out a silent huff at the thought of the agreement that she signed. Regardless of how much she met up with Jeremy in secret, it would be useless. She had promised not to ever get together with him, let alone marry him. Eugene continued walking forward. Just then, he then saw an attendant bringing a few middle-aged men toward the room that Fern had just entered. “This is the room booked by Director Zimmermann. He’s already waiting for you inside,” the attendant said as he opened the do
Director Zimmermann’s expression changed immediately when he saw that she was leaving. He shouted, “Stand right there!” Director Zimmermann’s assistant blocked Fern’s way and stopped her from leaving. She frowned and turned around to look at Director Zimmermann. “Is there anything else?” she asked in an icy tone. Director Zimmermann fixed his gaze on her as he sneered with a cold glint in his eyes, “Stop acting like you don’t know anything. Sit down if you want to be the female lead. Accompany Mr. Stewart well and have a meal with him.” “I told you that I don’t—” Before she could finish speaking, Director Zimmermann’s assistant pushed her to the side of the dining table and pressed her down onto the seat. She immediately avoided him. Although panic bubbled up within her, she still looked extremely calm on the surface. “Go away! What are you guys doing? I told you that I won’t accompany him. Are you guys going to force me?” “How are we forcing you? Didn’t you come here o
Initially, Mr. Stewart was interested in a woman with a fiery temper like her. The women around him were always obedient to him. They were not as interesting as her.However, Fern had slapped him in front of so many people! Regardless of how interested he was in her, he could not put up with her behavior anymore! He slapped her harshly across the face right away. Fern fell onto the ground due to the impact. “You just want to do things the hard way, don’t you? How dare you act all pure and innocent in front of me?” Mr. Stewart yelled at the woman on the ground. Director Zimmermann immediately came over to calm him down. “Mr. Stewart, calm down. She doesn’t understand the rules. You can just teach her.” Mr. Stewart shouted angrily, “That’s right! A treacherous woman like her needs to be taught a lesson!” Fern felt dizzy after being slapped across the face. Besides, she had downed several glasses of liquor just now. She felt even dizzier now. However, she was not comp
Eugene’s expression darkened as he said, “Bring a few men into the room she’s in to take a look. Bring her away if possible.” Regardless of whether she was being sexually harassed, he would not allow her to have a meal with those men. No matter what had happened between them, she was still his daughter’s mother. If her dignity was ruined, their daughter would be affected as well. Although Eugene had not even mentioned Fern’s name, Wyatt understood what he meant immediately. He said, “Yes.” Alas, Euegene still could not bring himself to ignore her completely. Wyatt barged into the room with his men, only to see Fern raising the bottle and smashing it against the skull of the man who was trying to harass her! Mr. Stewart froze. The men beside him were so shocked that they did not react in time as well. He returned to his senses when blood flowed down his head. He glared at the woman underneath him ferociously. He felt like cutting her into pieces! “F*cking b*tch! How dare
Upon arriving home, Fern took out the medical kit and prepared to treat her own wound. She did not expect Rue to return home from school right then. “Oh, Mommy, how did you get hurt?” Rue’s heart hurt so much that she almost burst into tears when she saw the blood on her palm. A hint of panic flashed across Fern’s gaze. “Oh… I went to film just now. I accidentally hurt myself,” she said at once. “Why were you so careless?” Rue blamed her. Nevertheless, her gaze was full of pity. “Huh? Which uncle’s jacket are you wearing, Mommy?” Rue noticed that her mommy was wearing a men’s suit jacket.“It belongs to one of my colleagues. He lent his jacket to me since my shirt was torn after I got hurt while filming.” She did not dare to tell her daughter what she had experienced.“Oh, then I’ll help you treat your wound, Mommy. Change your clothes after that.” Rue did not suspect her words at all.“Alright.” Fern let Rue help her bandage her wound. Her gaze landed on her daughter’s gen
Half of her face had been ruined. She had to put her hair down and use it to cover half of her face now. Eugene told her that he would take responsibility for her, and she had moved into his villa as well. With this, she was no longer as upset. She heard the sound of a car driving into the driveway in the living room. She exclaimed happily, “Is President Eugene back?” The servant beside her replied, “Yes, President Eugene is back to have dinner with you.”A smile appeared on Sydney’s face. Joy bloomed in her heart. She felt like she was already his wife and was waiting for him to come back from work so that they could have dinner together. After a while, the handsome and elegant man walked in. She immediately rushed toward him and took the suit jacket that he had taken off from him. “President Eugene, you’re back.” Eugene nodded and said, “Yes.” He thought of something and told her, “You can call me Eugene at home in the future. You don’t need to address me so courteou
“Fernie, they hung up on us again,” Lena told Fern in a tone of dismay. They had taken the initiative to contact plenty of movie crews but they were rejected by all of them. Fern seemed to have expected that this would happen. She looked pretty calm. “It’s alright. If I can’t find any work now, I’ll just give myself a break for a period of time and take some rest.” Lena was panicking even more than her now. “You can rest for two to three days, but you can’t go on a long hiatus. You know as well just how many newcomers are entering the industry on a daily basis. Everyone is trying their best to gain fame. If you stop here, someone else will take your place soon!” Furthermore, Fern had lost everyone whom she could depend on. She had to do everything on her own now. It was extremely difficult. Fern understood everything that Lena said. She did not want to stop here as well, but she had been banished from the industry. She had no choice but to lay low for a period of time.
“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
