“I have my own limits. I won’t say anything to trigger her emotions right now, unlike how you’re lying to her.” Dayton did not want to argue with her. “You have ten minutes. Leave after telling her everything that you want to say.” She had not even seen Quincy. Was he starting to drive her away already? Sharon smiled coldly. It was up to her when she would leave. Under Dayton’s company, or to be more accurate, his supervision, she made her way in front of Quincy. Quincy was seated in her wheelchair. After seeing Sharon, she raised her head to look at her curiously. She smiled and asked, “Who are you?” “I’m your friend, Sharon Jeans. Dayton told me that you lost your memory, so you’ve forgotten all about me as well,” Sharon said as she looked into her gaze.Quincy had an apologetic expression on her face. “I’ve forgotten everything from the past. I’m really sorry for forgetting you as well.” “It’s alright, but you must remember me from now onward.” Dayton was not lyi
“You left us here for 30 minutes and 19 seconds. It wasn’t just a while,” Simon told her as he looked at the expensive watch on his wrist.Sharon was amused. “You calculated it way too precisely.”“We can’t leave your side anymore after this,” he said in an exasperated tone.“Alright, let’s go back to eat something. After that, we’ll visit the place with the nicest view in this city. We’ll go home tomorrow,” Sharon told him as she took Bonnie in her arms.“Why are we going back so quickly?” He remembered she had told him she wanted to stay here for some time so that she could accompany Quincy. Sharon told him about Quincy’s condition and said, “She doesn’t need me to do anything for her now. With Dayton Night here, I can’t accompany her as well.”“You’d better not worry so much about other people. You’re busy as well.”Sharon sighed and said, “I came to visit her since I was free. I didn’t expect…” She could wait till Quincy regained her memories. However, it was unknown when t
“I’m not Lena. It’s me.” A man’s chuckle rang out from the other end of the phone.Fern returned to her senses after being stunned for a short moment. “You’re… Jeremy.” They had not contacted each other during this period. “Have you forgotten me since we haven’t seen each other in such a long time?” he teased her. “How’s that possible? It’s just… I've been rather busy lately.” She was busy looking for work. “Busy?” Jeremy let out a low chuckle. “Don’t lie to me. I’ve already heard that you’ve been blacklisted from the industry by that Stewart bastard. Nobody dares to ask you to be in their movies or commercials now, right?” “ Fern opened her mouth to explain things, but she would be trying to hide the truth from him if she did that. Since he already knew about it, then there was nothing to hide from him. “That’s why I’m working hard to look for a job.” “Why didn’t you look for me?” Jeremy asked her in an accusatory tone. “I—”Before she could finish speaking, Jeremy
After the car drove onto the road, he looked at the watch on his wrist. He then told the chauffeur, “Let’s head over to Rue’s school.” Fern and Jeremy agreed on a time to meet with the director. After having their coffee, they ended their meeting. Her gloomy mood for the past few days finally lifted after she walked out of the cafe. She looked at the time and realized she should go pick up her daughter from school now.She got on the bus and headed toward Rue’s school. The bus was stuck in traffic for more than ten minutes. It was already past school hours when Fern arrived.Even so, she had told her daughter that she should wait at the school entrance if nobody came to pick her up and not run off somewhere else.Rue had always been obedient, so Fern was not worried about her. She thought that Rue was at the school entrance, but she did not see her anywhere after walking an entire round. She started to panic. Just then, Rue’s headteacher walked out of the school. Sh
Sydney nodded in an understanding manner as a flash of emotions flickered across her gaze. She spoke to Fern courteously, “You should stay for a meal. I’ve just finished cooking. Eugene said that he’ll be home soon.” Fern looked at the dining table, which was a short distance away. Had she cooked all the dishes on the table? The dishes on the table were all Eugene’s favorites. “It’s alright, I’ll leave after taking Rue with me.” She did not want to disturb them. While they were speaking, the sound of a car driving into the porch sounded from outside. “President Eugene is back,” the butler said as he turned around to walk out of the house and greet him. Fern stood in the living room and waited for them to enter the house. Although she had stayed here in the past, she suddenly felt extremely uneasy being here right now. She wanted to leave as soon as possible once she got her daughter back. After a while, Eugene walked in while holding Rue’s hand. “Mommy, why are y
“I saw it myself. I wouldn’t have seen it wrongly.” Eugene took a step closer to her as his eyes gleamed coldly. Fern was forced to take a step back due to his oppressive stance. She spoke in an amused and angry tone, “I didn’t know that you enjoy spying on other people, President Eugene.” Eugene’s lips curled into a mocking smile. “Don’t change the topic. Do you dare tell me that you’re not dating Jeremy?” “We’re just friends who met up for a cup of coffee. We aren’t dating. Aren’t you overthinking things?” Fern really did not know what was going on in that head of his. “Are you really not dating him?” He stuffed one of his hands into his pocket and looked down at her with a haughty expression on his face. “How can you prove that?” “I…” She was stunned by his question. It was as if he were asking her to prove that her mother was truly her biological mother. How could she clarify that to him? Furthermore, he was already viewing her interactions with Jeremy in a prejudi
...Fern met up with Jeremy today. He was going to bring her to meet the director. They had planned this meeting some time ago. Jeremy brought her to meet Director Sanchez in a room. He was a famous film and drama director in the industry. “Nice to meet you, Director Sanchez,” Fern greeted as she extended her hand to him. Director Sanchez shook her hand and gave her a once-over. “Your image is a good match for the role that I have in mind.” “I told you that she’s a perfect match.” Jeremy reckoned that he had given him the perfect recommendation.Director Sanchez nodded and smiled at him. “Thank you for finding an actress who suits the role so well.” “It’s nothing. We’re the ones who should thank you for giving us this opportunity.” Jeremy was accustomed to such situations, thus he was used to speaking such formalities.Fern smiled as she sat beside him. She did not dare to say anything. After all, she had been blacklisted from the industry. If she said something to offe
Wyatt turned around to smile at her after hearing what she said. “You’re mistaken. President Eugene just thinks that Director Sanchez’s film is good and worth his investment. He’s not going against anyone.” He paused for a moment and glanced at Jeremy before continuing to speak, “After taking a look at the script, President Eugene doesn’t think that Mr. Ziegler isn’t a good match for the male lead. If someone more suitable takes on the role, the viewership ratings will be better. He just wants to obtain more return on his investments.” He said so much just to let Fern know that Eugene was a businessman. He wanted returns on his investment. He was not going against Jeremy and her. However, given Fern’s understanding of Eugene, Wyatt’s words were just grand-sounding excuses! She sneered and said, “There are so many films out there. Why does he insist on investing in this one? Why does he want to replace the male lead and not any other roles? Ask him to come here. I want to pe
