Her discomfort caused her to forget that she was dancing with the company’s president and that countless gazes filled with jealousy and hatred were directed at her. Especially Rebecca, who was standing beside Douglas. Her nails sank into her palms as she looked at the two waltzing romantically on stage. She felt both wronged and humiliated. She was supposed to be Simon’s dance partner for tonight’s opening dance, but he switched partners in front of everyone. Was this not to humiliate her? What was worse, she had to pretend she did not mind it at all although she was furious. Else, she would be the butt of everyone’s jokes. Simon had blatantly changed the dance partner Douglas chose for him. Naturally, the look on his face was not pleasant either. He put on a poker face as he stared expressionlessly at the stage. When he saw Sharon put her head on Simon’s shoulder, he scowled and found himself even more unable to continue watching. Were they dancing or showing off their relatio
A figure approached her and immediately covered her mouth. She could not tell who it was, but she could tell it was a strange and rough man with a lot of strength! “No… No…” She kept raising her voice in protest as she struggled to push her opponent’s hand away. However, her strength was quickly diminishing. “Good girl, keep quiet…” A rough and strange voice rang in her ears. She could tell he was up to no good! The man used one hand to cover her mouth and the other to forcefully drag her into one of the rooms in the hotel. Sharon was flung onto the bed. She wanted to get up but was horrified to realize her strength was quickly vanishing! Lying helplessly in bed, she raised her gaze to the man standing by the bed. He was a big, burly man who seemed to have coarse manners. “Who… Who are you? What do you want to do to me?” Her terror was evident in her eyes as she panted. The man smiled evilly at her. “You don’t need to know who I am.” Then, he let out a chilling laugh as
Simon ground his foot at that same area a couple more times. Franky, who was behind him, did not dare look at what was going on. When the man was in so much pain that he could not even make a sound, Simon said coldly to Franky, “Drag him out of here and get rid of him!” “Yes, President Zachary!” Franky immediately dragged the man out of the room and closed the door. From the start till the end, he had not dared to even look at Sharon. Simon’s men were stationed both inside and outside the hotel to ensure the anniversary celebration would go along smoothly. Thus, when Franky saw a man dragging Sharon away through the surveillance cameras, he immediately reported it to Simon and found out where they were. Sharon lay on the bed, her consciousness slowly fading. The veins on Simon’s forehead popped when he saw the state she was in. Pulling her up, he gritted his teeth as he bellowed, “Sharon Jeans!” He finally understood what was happening to her when he saw her reddened face
His grip on her chin tightened as he said, “I’ll let you know who I am now!” Then, he lowered his head and kissed her intensely. “Oh…” The man’s lips were slightly cold. Taking a deep breath, he decided to be her antidote. However, someone knocked on the door just then. His eyebrows furrowed together as he stared coldly in the direction where the door was. “Open up! Sharon Jeans, open up!” It was Fiona. She was the one knocking as well.Then, he heard her say, “Dad, Penelope, I saw with my own eyes Sharon hugging a strange man as they walked into this room. She must be getting up to no good with this man behind Simons’ back. She did the same thing with Howard in the past!”Simon’s gaze turned cold. It was Fiona! She had brought his dad and sister along with her? His cold eyes glinted. Was she trying to catch Sharon in the act of adultery? Indeed, Fiona had brought Douglas and Penelope to the door. She swore that Sharon was messing around with another man in the room. Doug
Douglas was so angry that he could not bring himself to look at the sight. “How shameless she is, having relations with another man behind Simon’s back! I’ll drag her out right now!” Fiona replied eagerly as she walked toward the bathroom. Just then, a figure came out of the bathroom. It was Simon, who only had a towel around his waist. Water dripped from his sculpted chest, and his hair was still damp as well. When he saw his father, sister, and sister-in-law, he frowned and asked, “Why did you enter without my permission?” Fiona was shocked when she saw that it was Simon. Her eyes widened as she was rendered speechless. How could it be him? How was it possible that the man Sharon was having relations with was Simon? No! That was not right! It was not what she had planned! The father-daughter duo was also surprised when they saw Simon walk out of the bathroom, but they were not as shocked as Fiona. Douglas furrowed his brows together as he stared at Simon and asked in
It was Sharon. Unable to stand it any longer, Douglas bellowed, “Femme fatale! She really is a femme fatale!” Pointing his cane at Simon, his voice quivered as he said angrily, “I don’t want to see her anymore. You’d better make her move out of the Zachary household. Either that or the two of you get divorced!” Douglas was furious, but he still had his young grandchild Sebastian in mind. That was why he had only asked Sharon to leave the Zachary household and did not force Simon to divorce her. He did not want what had happened the last time to happen again. His little grandchild had made such a fuss and nearly injured himself when he fell out of the tree. He did not want to see Sharon, and the best way to handle things was to have her move out of the house and only return when she wanted to meet the child. If there was a way, he hoped that the child would never have to go near a mother like that again. However, that seemed impossible with the way things were currently. Pen
When Simon returned to the bathroom, he saw that Sharon had nearly submerged her entire person into the bathtub which was filled to the brim with water! He stared at her as he strode over. She could not be left alone for one second in her condition. Frowning, he fished the woman out of the water and said exasperatedly, “Do you have a death wish?” No one expected the woman to retaliate when she left the cool water. Batting away the man’s hand, she submerged herself back into the tub. Simon frowned as he stood by the bathtub and stared at the woman. He could not leave her here, and submerging her in cold water was not the way to solve matters. Ignoring the woman’s protests, he fished her out of the bathtub and wrapped her securely with a towel.“Listen to me if you don’t want to continue feeling this discomfort!” The man placed his lips right next to her ear as he spoke in a low voice, stopping her mid-action. Taking the whining woman in his arms, he left the room and walked
Simon stood and returned to the bathroom. There, he lay in the bathtub and took her into his arms. Howard had hurried off before the party even started, and he found himself unable to forget what Sharon had said. What finally caused him to leave the party was when Sharon said, “Sally loves to boast so much, but why didn’t she attend the anniversary celebration with you?” The more he thought about it, the more he felt that something was wrong. Without even telling his mom, he left the party. He drove back to where they lived. When the nanny saw him hurry in with a dark expression on his face, she asked confusedly, “Young Master Howard, why did you come back at this hour?” “Where’s Sally? Is she in the bedroom?” He turned and walked toward the room. The nanny said hurriedly, “The young madam isn’t home. She’s gone out.” Howard stopped mid-step and narrowed his eyes as he turned. He asked in a deep voice, “It’s late. Where did she go?” “The young madam said she has a heada
“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
