The old master’s breathing grew erratic as the veins on his forehead protruded. He glared at him and said, “Fine, I won’t force you. I’ll send some men over to end her life. I believe that you won’t make any more mistakes in the future without her influencing you.”Eugene’s heart lurched after registering his words. “Grandfather!” Did the old master want to take Fern’s life? “Grandfather, you can’t do that!” He started to panic. Quinn closed his eyes and refused to look at him. “Leave. You can decide not to marry Sydney, so I can decide to make that woman disappear from this world as well.”Eugene clenched his hands into fists as he questioned, “Are you threatening me with her life?”Quinn pretended not to hear her question. He closed his eyes and remained silent.“Grandfather!” Eugene shouted in a heavy tone. However, the old master did not respond to him.He understood his grandfather’s intentions. He could choose to either marry Sydney or let his grandfather kill Fern.“I
Fern felt extremely uneasy after bringing her daughter home. She kept thinking about what Eugene had told her. She was not thinking about how he had asked her to get back together with him. Regarding that, she simply assumed that he was speaking nonsense. She was thinking about how he had told her that Jeremy deliberately set him up just to frame him for being involved in money laundering. Jeremy was the one who recommended her to take part in this comedy film, but she was not sure who the sponsors of the film were. Fern could not accept what Eugene had told her. She did not believe that Jeremy would do something like that. She called Jeremy and asked him to meet up with her. She had to ask him to clarify everything. Jeremy was not in a good mood right now. He did not expect Eugene to be released from the police station after being detained for a few days. They claimed that he had been wrongly accused of laundering money as well. He knew how everything had happened.
Fern pondered upon it before smiling faintly at him. “Alright.” She then left the teahouse. Jeremy’s smile slowly vanished as he looked at her silhouette. His narrowed eyes gleamed coldly. She had already started to suspect him. It seemed like he could not use this pawn of his for much longer. He had to use her well before she discovered what he was up to. Fern’s heart remained heavy after walking out of the teahouse. She chose to believe in Jeremy’s words, but she felt like she should distance herself from him. She suddenly thought that things were not as simple as he had mentioned. Actually, she had chosen to escape. She was reluctant to face the possibility that Jeremy was behind everything. If that were the case, what would she do? She unknowingly walked to the center of the plaza. The news was playing on the large LED screen situated along the commercial street. The president of Newton Corporation, Eugene Newton, who was just released from the police station, anno
Fern was already angry at him. Now that he was ordering her to go down, she completely lost control.“Who do you think you are? Must I go down when you ask me to? Can you meet me just because you want to?” “You don’t have to come down. I can go up to you as well.” Hah… This man was seriously shameless! “If you dare to come up, I’ll call the police and tell them that you’re disturbing the residents late at night.” Eugene fell silent for a few seconds, but then he continued speaking in a low tone, “It’s no longer fun if you use the same method twice.” Fern sneered and said, “Calling the police is the best choice when I’m dealing with a shameless man like you.” She paused and continued speaking. “Don’t come here to harass me ever again. Otherwise, I’ll really call the police. You know that I’m not joking.” After speaking, she attempted to hang up. However, Eugene said, “Come down. I want to talk to you about Jeremy. If you don’t listen to me, you’ll definitely regret
When he turned back around to look at her, his eyes were filled with a deep and profound look. It seemed slightly nostalgic but anxious at the same time. His gaze darkened as he ignored her rage and protests. He hugged her tightly in his arms. He then gripped her chin and kissed her on the lips. While she was struggling against his hold, he pressed her down on the seat of the car. Fern was completely pinned down by him right now. She could not even move. She felt like a slab of meat on a chopping board that was waiting to be butchered. She did not know what was wrong with him. Why did he come here just to harass her in the middle of the night? She knew that she could not overpower a madman with her own strength. Suddenly, she stopped struggling against him. It seemed that she was in a state of total despair. As Eugene kissed her ear, he sensed some wetness on her skin. He frowned and stopped. He then raised his head to look at the woman underneath him. She squeezed h
“If this is really a farewell, please never appear in front of me ever again. Since you’re getting married, don’t do something so shameless to me. I don’t want others to call me a mistress.” Fern sat up as she pulled up her collar around herself. “Also, if you dare to do something so treacherous to me again, I won’t call the police anymore. I’ll turn you into a eunuch straight away!” She was infuriated. He was marrying Sydney in a week, but he had tried to take her clothes off and insult her. Eugene narrowed his eyes after listening to her harsh words. Instead of getting angry, he said in an even tone, “Something like this won’t happen ever again. After all, I need to take responsibility for my future wife.” Did he mean that he would stop these dirty habits for his wife? Fern did not want to hear anything about him and Sydney. She pulled the handle of the car door and proceeded to get down from the car. “You’d better do as you say.” She then opened the car door and was about t
Sharon picked up his invitation and looked at it repeatedly. She could not help but let out a sigh. She did not expect things to turn out this way for them. Perhaps there would be a miracle. After all, Simon and she had experienced this in the past as well. They still got together in the end.She did not know that Old Master Newton had threatened him with Fern’s life this time around. Eugene had no choice but to concede to his request. He intended to take responsibility for Sydney after they got married. He would not be a wastrel anymore. Fern wanted to stop acting for the time being. Besides, nobody was willing to hire her anymore. Not long after, Lena called her and told her that she had found a job for her through her connections. A globally-renowned bridal gown shop needed a model with a great aura and a nice figure to shoot a set of promotional photographs. They had shortlisted a lot of models but most of them were lacking in terms of their aura although they had
The customers that Peter, the design director of the bridal gown shop, was serving were Eugene and Sydney! Right, they were about to get married. It was not surprising that they would be getting a bridal gown fitted here. However, Fern thought that she was way too unlucky. Why did she run into them when she was here to be a bridal gown model?!Eugene had seen her as well. She was wearing a fishtail bridal gown, which showed off her voluptuous figure. The inlaid pearls on the neckline of the gown made her look all the more graceful and noble. This was the first time she was wearing a bridal gown… Eugene was mesmerized by the sight of her. He had once thought that he would be married to her. He had wanted to hold a romantic wedding ceremony for her and personally design a bridal gown for her. He wanted to see her putting on a bridal gown just for him, but this would be impossible in this lifetime. He was seeing her in a bridal gown right now, but she was not putting it o
