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
“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
