“But I heard that you don’t have any movies or commercials to film recently. Without any income, how are you going to pay me back?” Fern glanced at him coldly. He knew about her current situation. It was no wonder that he was making things hard for her on purpose. “I… This is just temporary. I won’t be out of projects forever.” She firmly believed in this. Eugene narrowed his eyes and stared at her. He let out a mocking laugh and asked, “Where’s Jeremy Ziegler? Why isn’t he helping you out during such a critical point in time? Doesn’t he want to set up an agency with you?” Fern knew that he was mocking her. Her face stiffened as she said, “It’s none of your business.” Eugene nodded and said, “That’s right, I almost forgot about our agreement. We agreed not to contact each other ever again. However, I talked to you a lot today. You won’t complain about it in front of the old master and ask him to break my legs, will you?” His words were full of hostility! Fern glared a
Sharon could not help but be surprised to hear this from Quincy. "You're leaving? Where are you going?"The light in Quincy's eyes vanished as she lowered her eyes. "Before, I was too young and relied on my knowledge of Dayton. I thought of confronting him, thinking that I could easily take back everything from our family from him and avenge my parents. But now I understand that I was too naive."She raised her eyes to look at Sharon and continued, "I'm doing well with my marksmanship now. Next, I want to go and learn more before I have enough leverage to confront him."It was also because she had underestimated Dayton that he was able to take the Night Empire from her parents. He was certainly not a simple person.It was her fault that she grew up with him and thought he was still the same person she knew. She did not expect him to be hiding so much that she could not understand him at all, nor did she expect him to be so ruthless in his methods.Sharon thought she was right, nod
"I think you're just seeking death!""If I really know her whereabouts, no one will know where she is if you kill me," Sharon reminded him. Dayton, who was originally so angry that he could not control the urge to pull the trigger, suddenly calmed down considerably."Young Master, a car was found driving away from the manor’s side gate." His men hurriedly came to report.The first thing that came to mind was that Quincy had escaped again. "Chase after her!" He jumped into a car and went along with his man to chase after her."Hey, you're getting too excited, that's not Quincy!" Sharon shouted at him, but he simply did not listen to her.Sharon shook her head. "Fine, suit yourself."Claude was not at ease. He knew who was driving the car, so he immediately got in his car to give chase."I'll come with you to make sure Dayton won’t do anything to you." She also got into the car.Claude started the car and accelerated.After they all left, Quincy drove the car that Sharon had pr
Sharon, who was right behind, also panicked. She got out of the car and ran over with a pale face. She saw the white car rolling to the bottom until it got stuck on something and tipped over on its side at the edge of the cliff."Quincy…" She felt a tightness in her chest. Just moments ago, Quincy had told her she planned to go somewhere else to learn more but in the blink of an eye…Sharon grabbed Dayton by his collar and slapped him across his cheek. "You! It's all your fault for chasing after her! Why couldn’t you just let her go?!"Dayton’s face went red. Her hand had left a huge mark on his face, but he did not feel any pain. He gave her a gloomy stare, forcefully shook off the men pulling on him, and aimed his gun at her head. "You allowed her to escape! You gave her the car! You deserve to die!"He cocked his gun in a fit of rage, wanting to shoot her dead!Claude rushed over, kicked the gun out of Dayton’s hand, and said expressionlessly, "The most important thing now is t
"But… I feel awful about what happened." After all, she had watched the car roll down and explode."Maybe… this is her fate." Simon did not know how to comfort her anymore.Simon accompanied her as they waited for the rescuers. The worst-case scenario was that they would find Quincy’s charred remains in the car.Every minute was a torment.Finally, the news came from below. Dayton’s men ran up while panting to report, "Young Master, we didn’t find Miss Quincy. There’s no burnt body in the car."Dayton suddenly became animated. He grabbed his subordinate by the collar, gritted his teeth, and asked in a deep, urgent voice, "What do you mean? You didn’t find her?"The man gasped for air. Dayton let go and let him regain his breath a little, "Yes… We couldn’t find her."Dayton's pupils suddenly shrank. "Then where is she? Where did she go?" His eyes were shining with hope. Could she still be alive?Sharon felt that things were odd upon hearing that. She had seen the car tumbling do
Five long hours later, Quincy was finally brought out from the operating room. "She's lucky she’s still alive for now." The doctor came out looking so tired that he could not say a word more. Upon hearing those words, Dayton closed his eyes and unconsciously clenched his fist. He took a deep breath and then said to the doctor in an appreciative voice, "Thank you."All was well in the world as long as she was alive. Sharon had been waiting to hear the news. When she heard the doctor's words, her tense nerves finally relaxed.If something happened to Quincy, she would never have peace of mind for the rest of her life.Simon took her into his arms and gently patted her shoulder. "Now you can rest easy. Even though this is her fate, there’ll be blessings afterward if she can endure this."She leaned against his chest and agreed with him very much. "You're always right.""But her injuries are very serious. Not just the injuries on her body but her brain." The doctor took a breath
He was not being too greedy for this, was he?When he watched her car tumble down the cliff, he regretted it. He regretted taking away everything that should have belonged to her.When he was kneeling by the side of the road, he had thought that as long as she lived, he would return everything that belonged to the Lane family to her. She could even avenge her parents if she wanted to, as long as she remained alive.He suddenly realized that without her, even if he had everything, there was no point in avenging his parents' death.The doctor's prediction was correct. After the three-day critical period passed, Quincy did not show any sign of waking up.Did that mean she could only lie in bed and be in a vegetative state for the rest of her life?She was only in her early 20s. She still had so much to live for!Dayton grabbed the doctor by his collar again. He could no longer control his emotions. "Can you treat her or not? You should’ve told me sooner if you can’t do anything for
Sharon had started developing a new fragrance again lately. Every day, she would get off work much later than before.However, since she was also concerned about her daughter who was waiting for her at home, she tried not to work too late.She was done with today’s work and went to her car in the underground parking lot.The parking lot was quiet with only the sound of her footsteps. She vaguely smelled a strange odor.She looked around and found that there was no one else around except for herself.This scent was very special, occasionally wafting in a strong burst. She did not have time to capture what exactly the scent was before it disappeared.Perhaps she was just imagining it, but these days, she always felt like she was being watched.She stood in place for a while longer to make sure there was really no one else before walking to her car. She then started it and drove back.That evening, she came to the study after putting her daughter to sleep. She held a cup of freshl
