“Daddy, are you going to marry Aunt Sydney?” Rue’s soft voice rang out from the other end of the phone.

Eugene’s heart lurched as he put down the pen in his hand. He got up and walked over to the windows. He looked at the night view outside, saying, “Yes.”

“Do… you like Aunt Sydney?” Rue asked.

Eugene stuffed one of his hands into his pocket. To him, it no longer mattered if he liked her or not. However, he still replied to Rue, “Yes.”

“Do you like her more than my mother?” Rue had a lot of questions tonight.

Eugene’s gaze darkened. After a brief silence, he spoke in a hoarse voice, “Rue, your mother and I separated a long time ago…”

“So you stopped liking my mother a long time ago, is that it?”

Eugene did not know how to reply to her question. His feelings for Fern were not as simple as liking her.

Rue’s voice turned softer, and she sounded extremely down. “I knew that you no longer liked my mother. Alright, since both of you don’t like each other anymore, I’ll give

    She was lucky that he was willing to marry her. It was a blessing that she must have cultivated from the deeds she did in her past lives. She lowered her eyes and waited for him to say something. “I must come clear to you. I’m marrying you not only because I want to take responsibility for you but also because it’s my grandfather’s intention,” Eugene told her slowly. Sydney’s heart lurched once again. She would not have felt as upset if he only told her that he was marrying her because he wanted to take responsibility for her. However, he was telling her that he was marrying her because Old Master Newton wanted him to do so! Did it mean he did not intend to marry her at all? He was being forced to do so? “If you find it hard to go on with this, I… can talk to Old Master Newton. You don’t have to force yourself to marry me.” She lowered her head and clenched her hands into fists as her eyes started stinging. “I’ll definitely marry you. After getting married, you’ll be my w

    Fern went to shoot some promotional photographs for the bridal gown shop in the morning. In the afternoon, she went to pick up Jeremy’s mother from the airport as agreed. She stood at the exit with a placard that had the name ‘Shannon Woods’ written on it. After a while, she caught sight of a middle-aged woman, who seemed to have preserved her youthfulness well, walking toward her with her luggage. “You’re Jerry’s friend, Fern Thompson?” The woman gave her a once-over with a kind expression on her face. She gazed at her like she was looking at her son’s girlfriend. Fern nodded and said, “Nice to meet you, Aunt. Jeremy asked me to come over to pick you up.” “He has already told me about it on the phone. Sorry for troubling you,” the woman said courteously. “It’s no problem at all. I’m his good friend, so it’s only right that we help each other out.” “You’re so pretty. Why aren’t you his girlfriend?” the woman asked in a pitiful tone. Fern smiled and said, “That dep

    “Don’t worry, I won’t run away since I didn’t do anything wrong. You guys can come with me.” “That’s a must,” the policewoman said as she headed over to the washroom with Fern. Fern walked into the washroom and called out, “Mrs. Woods, are you in here?” She opened the door of every single cubicle and checked inside, but she could not find Shannon Woods anywhere.What was going on? “Is the person you want to find not here?” The policewoman looked at her with an ambiguous smile on her face. Evidently, she thought that Fern was just coming up with an excuse to drag things out.Fern looked at the luggage. Suddenly, she felt that something was off. Could it be…She followed the police officers to the station and handed the luggage to them so that they could inspect its contents.The police officers opened the luggage. There were some female clothes inside the luggage. There was a black pouch as well.They proceeded to investigate the contents of the pouch. Fern watched them

    All the guests could see the happiness on Sydney’s face through the white veil that she was wearing. Sharon sat in the guest seats. After Sydney appeared, she heard the people behind her gossiping about her. She even heard some immature kids giving remarks like, “The bride is an ugly witch!” The parents of the children covered their mouths at once to stop them from spouting nonsense. However, nothing could stop the people beside her from speaking in hushed voices. “The bride is quite pretty, but it’s a pity that one side of her face is ruined.” “She sacrificed half of her face in order to become President Eugene’s wife. As long as President Eugene doesn’t mind her appearance, she can enjoy living a luxurious life.” “That’s right. I wonder if President Eugene really doesn’t mind her appearance? After all, men like women for their looks.” “Who knows? However, her wedding gown looks expensive. The design looks exceptionally good as well.” “The wedding gown looks good

    Sydney reflexively reached out to pull him back. She had a panicked expression on her face. “Eugene, where are you going?” Eugene seemed to finally remember that they were holding a wedding ceremony right now. He was a groom today! He frowned. There was a panicked look in his eyes. “Sydney, I need to settle something important right now. Let’s put the wedding ceremony on pause. Wait for me to come back.” He did not tell her that he would not marry her, nor did he tell her that the wedding ceremony was canceled. He simply asked her to wait. However, she was afraid. How long did she have to wait? Today was the day of their wedding and he was leaving her alone here. Would she not become a laughing stock? “Eugene Newton, what are you doing?” Old Master Newton got up and asked him with a cold expression on his face. Eugene seemed to be extremely panicked. “Grandfather, there’s something urgent that I need to settle right now. The wedding ceremony must be put on pause.”

    Fern slumped into the chair. She was stunned. Nevertheless, her mind was filled with confusion. She had been scammed. There was no one named Shannon Woods on that flight. That meant the woman was not Jeremy’s mother! She had fallen into Jeremy’s trap. However, she could not understand why he wanted to do this to her. Drug possession came with a death sentence. There was not any bad blood between both of them. Why did he want her to die? “Sir, I’m really innocent. The luggage doesn’t belong to me. I was just there to pick someone up.” Fern could only repeat these words again and again although her explanation was still weak. Just then, another police officer entered the room. “Your friend, Jeremy Ziegler, is here,” he told her. Fern’s attention perked up as she got up. Jeremy was brought inside the room. She wanted to rush over and ask him to clarify everything to clear her name, but the police officer held her back. “Sit down.” He did not allow them to get too clos

    Jeremy furrowed his brows tightly. He seemed to be extremely worried about her. “Fernie, if you tell them everything truthfully, you won’t be sentenced to death. If you were just helping to transport drugs, your sentence might be reduced as long as you tell them who your higher-up is.” “Jeremy Ziegler!” Fern finally could not resist roaring out loud. If the police officers were not in the room, she would have rushed over to strangle him and ask him why he was setting her up like this! “I’ve forgotten that you’re a top actor. Your acting skills are immaculate! I must’ve been blind for treating you as my best friend all along. I never once suspected you!” She shouted angrily. Finally, she pointed at Jeremy in front of the police officers and said, “Regardless of whether you believe me or not, he was the one who asked me to pick up that woman from the airport. He told me that Shannon Woods is his mother. He had everything planned out! You must arrest him as well!” “There’s no e

    For a moment, Fern felt like getting up and throwing herself into his arms. However, what was left of her reasoning pulled her back to reality. She tightly clenched her hands into fists as she suppressed her urge to do so. At that moment, she was shocked to realize that he was still the one that she trusted most. She even thought of him as her final source of solace! She turned her head away and wiped the streaks of tears from the corner of her eyes before facing him once again. Both of them sat opposite each other at a table. Eugene was wearing a dark-colored shirt. He had removed the suit jacket that he was wearing during the wedding ceremony. Fern took in a deep breath and calmed herself down before speaking. “Why are you here? Aren’t you supposed to get married today?” Eugene fixed his sharp gaze on her and spoke to her in a deep, cold voice. “So you know that I’m supposed to get married today? I suspect that you’re doing this on purpose. Did you do something lik

    “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
