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.
She picked up another glass, but just as she was about to drink it, a hand stretched out suddenly to stop her.“You’ll get drunk if you drink like this.” A playful voice sounded in her ears, and she saw Howard’s carefree appearance the moment she turned her head.She furrowed her eyebrows. She was in a bad mood now, and the last person she wanted to see was him. She shook off his hand impatiently. “I didn’t ask you!” After saying this, she downed that glass of wine.Howard snickered mockingly. “What? You can’t stand seeing a different woman standing by my uncle’s side?” Derision appeared in his eyes. “You should’ve expected a situation like this ages ago. I told you, you’ll divorce him sooner or later!”These words stabbed straight into her heart. It was not as if he had never told her these things before, but before this, she had never taken them to heart. Now, however, his gloating lit a fire in her chest. She did not control her tone and coldly commanded, “F*ck off! Don’t bother
She shook her head awkwardly. “I don’t know how. I’m sorry…” She indeed did not know how to do ballroom dances.“I already said you can’t reject me.” Eugene winked at her and said, “It’s fine if you don’t know. I can teach you.”His expression and posture were still very elegant. After speaking, he extended a gentlemanly hand to her.Sharon looked at his clean, lean hand. She found it hard to refuse.Perhaps it was because she was feeling too pressured. Although she did not know how to dance, she raised her hand and agreed to his invitation like she was possessed!It was only when he had walked to the dance floor with her hand in his did she come back to her senses. What was she doing?Why would she agree to an unfamiliar man’s invitation?Eugene circled a hand around her waist. He moved closer to her, smiling mildly as he said, “Woman, focus.”Sharon already regretted it. “That… I really don’t know how. How about you ask someone else…”Before she could finish speaking, Eugene
He turned away abruptly. His pitch-black, fear-inducing gaze landed on her. His tone was extremely icy when he spoke, “Secretary Lawrence, you’re overstepping again.” No matter how he and Sharon were, it was not her place to chime in.The way he addressed her as ‘Secretary Lawrence’ made Rebecca remember that night at the hotel when she confessed her feelings for him but he harshly shoved her away!Her face paled. She clenched her fists, her nails digging into her palms.Simon did not say anything more to her. He walked past her, not once glancing at her.He only thought about how he did not want to dance the opening dance later with Rebecca.Under Eugene’s instruction, Sharon danced with him. Coming off the dance floor, her palms were full of sweat. It was unsure if it was because she was too nervous or because it was hot.“See. I told you you’d definitely dance well.” Eugene saw her sweating prettily and could not help smiling. He took out a handkerchief he brought with him and
Simon’s body tensed instantly, and he grabbed her small hand. His pitch-black eagle eyes stared at her dangerously. “Just now, you’d rather die than submit. Are you playing a game of push and pull with me?”If she had been sober enough, she would definitely have heard the ridicule in the man’s words. Unfortunately, her awareness was a little messed up. With that passionate kiss earlier, she could not discern all too well now.Panting slightly, she shook her head strongly, trying to wake herself up more. Finally, she could react and push him away. Glaring at him in a rage, she asked, “What do you want to do?”He was not publicly displaying affection with Rebecca in the ballroom, so why would he run over here to force a kiss on her?Seeing that her angered appearance did not seem to be fake, Simon could not help feeling that it was odd. Could her initiative just now have been faked?He stuffed a hand into his pocket as his eyes narrowed slightly at her lips that were reddened by the
“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
