Sally was standing in front of the French window in the room. She was talking to someone when her voice suddenly went up a pitch. “What did you say? She’s not dead?”There was a rough male voice on the other end of the phone. “We did it, but she didn’t die and was saved. We couldn’t help it as well. When will you pay us the amount you promised?”Sally grasped her phone tightly, her hands shaking with anger. She even burst out swearing, “She’s not dead so just what exactly have you done for me? You still have the nerve to ask me for money?”“We kidnapped her just as you said and slit her wrists. Who would have thought that someone would save her so soon? Besides, I also sacrificed two of my men. That’s two lives, so you can't give us any less!” The man was also very tough.“What does it matter to me if any of you die? You can’t even execute this well, so they deserve this even if they died! I’m telling you, I will only give you this amount. Nothing else!” Sally scolded the man fierc
Sharon respected him, but she did not know how to please others.Maybe it was because they had parted for a while, so the little guy was very clingy. After eating, he pestered her to build a model aircraft with her.Sharon was a little overwhelmed. She lay on the sofa in the room and did not want to move. “I'm tired, so I’ll just watch you play.”Sebastian pressed his lips together. “If Dad were here, he would build it with me.” The little guy's eyes lit up. “Mommy, can you call Dad to ask him when he’ll be back?”Upon seeing the little guy’s pleading eyes, Sharon naturally could not bear to refuse him. It seemed that when she was away from home, Simon and her son had bonded pretty well.Simon later bought her a new phone and applied for a new SIM card as well. Her lost phone could not be retrieved anymore.“Okay, I'll call him.” It was so late and he was still not back yet. She was inexplicably worried about him.Sharon’s new phone only had Simon’s number on it, and she dialed
“We’re in the hotel. If you have any urgent matters, I’ll have him call you back when he comes out.” Rebecca’s tone was not one a secretary should be speaking in.Sharon’s expression changed slightly, but she said, “No need. It’s not something urgent. You don’t have to tell him. That’s all.” She hurriedly hung up, not wanting to hear Rebecca Lawrence’s voice utter another word.They were at a hotel? Simon was still showering?Was he clocking overtime in a place like that?Sharon could not control her own thoughts.Why was it that the moment she thought of these things, her chest made it seem that it was hard for her to breathe? Also, what was with that sour feeling?Why did she care so much about whether he was in a hotel room with Rebecca?If he really was spending time with Rebecca in such a place, it was a good thing for Sharon. In the agreement they signed, whoever brought up divorce first was in breach of the agreement, so the child would go to the other party instead.Reb
Rebecca kept staring at him until he spoke. Only then did she return to her senses. “Yes…” Her eyes glinted. She had lied just now, so she could only continue now.Simon’s brows furrowed. “Get out.” His words carried no warmth.Looking at the man’s cold expression, Rebecca’s heart twisted violently. A strong sense of hurt and indignance welled up in her heart. Something came over her, and she suddenly lunged over to hug the man. “Simon, can you not be so cold to me? We’ve known each other since we were little. You weren’t like this to me in the past.”Simon’s gaze froze and turned colder. His face was even a little impatient, but he did not push her off immediately.Rebecca stuck her face to his chest. Listening to his powerful heartbeat, every nerve in her body was affected.“I don’t believe that you don’t feel a thing for me…” She hugged him tight, stood on her tiptoes, and boldly reached to kiss him!However, before her lips could come close, the man suddenly moved. Without an
Sharon had nearly forgotten about this. When she had been recovering in the hospital, Simon had always gotten the house to prepare liver for her to eat. He said it was to replenish her blood.She had never liked to eat animal innards, so after he forced her to eat it for two to three days, she was frightened just by the word ‘liver’.When she came back to the Zachary household, she thought of how he had drawn a lot of blood for her and purposely asked the kitchen to make him some pork and onions. She wanted him to have a taste of liver as well.However… When Rebecca Lawrence answered his phone earlier, she thought that her concern for him was excessive.As such, she had better eat the liver and onions herself. She had bled so much, so she would just consider this as a way to quickly replenish her blood.“Okay, I’ll go right now.” Sharon closed the bedroom door and went downstairs to the kitchen.The large kitchen was bright and clean. The liver and onions were still on the stove.
She was about to say that her phone was not with her, but it was as if she had been possessed suddenly. She blurted out what she did not want to say, “Didn’t you get a hotel room with Rebecca Lawrence? How could you have the time to call me?”Sharon wanted to bite her tongue off this time. What was going on with her? Why did she keep saying things uncontrollably?!The gaze of the man staring at her turned more playful, and his eyes shone. “Who told you I got a room with Rebecca?”Since the words were already spoken, there was nothing much to stay vexed over. She harrumphed impatiently. “Could it still be untrue if Rebecca told me herself?”The man extended both his arms and propped them on the marble countertop on either side of her, trapping her in the space between his arms.Sharon’s breath froze. She could not escape. She could only face him as the man’s concentrated gaze locked on her and his light words fell. “You believe her?”Sharon lowered her eyes. “Is it important wheth
“I don’t know, I…” Before she finished speaking, she was violently stopped by him!The man’s kiss was very aggressive. His breaths escaped his mouth and smothered the air around them. She had smelled alcohol on him from the very start. Could it be that he was drunk?Now, aside from the alcohol, she even smelled perfume on him that only women would wear.He had gotten a hotel room with Rebecca, and he was playing with her like this now!How could she not have noticed he was such a scumbag before?!Sharon could not push him away. Rage filled her heart, and without hesitation or care of being polite, she bit down harshly.“Hiss!” The man abruptly released her after letting out an aggrieved moan. He could suddenly make out the taste of blood in his mouth. She actually bit him!Sharon used the empty space between them from him being distracted to push him away forcefully and finally escaped his shackles. She rushed to the kitchen door in a panic and maintained a strict distance from
Hearing this, Sharon was befuddled. Admirer? Why would she have an admirer?She looked around but did not notice anyone suspicious. She took the glass doubtfully. “Thank you.”When the waiter left, Sharon still had not found this so-called admirer.A commotion came from the entrance of the ballroom. Everyone present turned to look.Sharon also looked in the direction everyone was looking at only to see Penelope helping Douglas into the ballroom.The reputable figure had arrived. It was no wonder why everyone’s attention had been caught.It could be seen that Douglas was still very respected and feared. As this was the corporation’s anniversary celebration and he was the chairperson, naturally, he had to attend.However, when Sharon saw Rebecca on the other side holding Douglas as well, her heart sank.Especially when she saw Douglas bringing Rebecca in front of Simon. She felt her heart being squeezed violently.In a setting like this, Douglas brought Rebecca to Simon’s side.
“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
