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
Eugene’s large palm was dry and warm. The warmth from his hand warmed up her cold hand and flowed all the way toward her heart.Her heart lurched harshly as she tried to withdraw her hand instinctively. However, he tightened his grip on her and stopped her from moving her hand away.She suddenly raised her eyes and met his dark gaze. She started to panic…“Also… you should bring Rue back home with you. I can’t take care of her for the time being. Tell her that I didn’t do anything bad and ask her to wait for me to get released.” She lowered her head as she did not dare to look him in the eye.“You don’t have to tell me what to do. Stay here and don’t worry. I’ll handle everything else.” Eugene patted her hand before letting go.“You… You’d better go back and complete the wedding ceremony before doing anything,” Fern said in a low voice.Eugene’s gaze faltered. “I’ll definitely complete the ceremony. You don’t need to worry about my affairs.” After speaking, he got up.Fern felt
Eugene’s cold face remained expressionless. His lips curled into a smirk as he said, “Hah, how daring of you to have such thoughts.” “Why won’t I dare? Besides, not only do I dare to think of such thoughts but I’m also acting on them.” Jeremy looked into his eyes with an ambiguous smile on his face. “Since you’re asking for my shares, do you plan to take over Newton Corporation?” Eugene reminded him in a cold voice. “Don’t even think about it. I don’t own the largest percentage of shares.” “You don’t need to bother about that. If you really want to save her, do as I say.” Jeremy paused as a harsh glint flashed across his gaze. “Of course, you can just ignore my conditions if you don’t wish to save her life and plan to let her get a death sentence instead.” It all depended on whether Fern Thompson was his Achilles’ heel. Eugene’s expression darkened as he exuded a terrifying sense of coldness. “You’re working in the entertainment industry. Why do you want to join the busin
His phone suddenly rang. Wyatt glanced at the screen and said, “It’s a call from the old master.” Eugene’s eyes were still closed as he pinched the center of his brows. “Answer it,” he said in a low tone. Wyatt swiped across the screen to pick up the call. He then placed the phone in front of Eugene. “Are you planning to run away from your own wedding, you rascal? How long do you intend on leaving the bride and the guests here?” The old master’s infuriated voice rang out from the other end of the phone. Eugene suddenly remembered that his wedding ceremony was still being held. He had left his bride behind at the wedding ceremony. “Grandfather, I’m going back now.” There were some things that he had to complete. Eugene returned to the wedding hall. Sydney was silently waiting for him to return with red-rimmed eyes.She immediately got up after seeing him. She looked at him with uncontained joy. “Eugene, you’re back…” “Yes, the wedding ceremony will continue now. You…
“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
