Fern came out after preparing the dishes. She caught sight of Eugene and Asher sitting on the sofa. They were watching TV with Rue. “Rue, I’ll bring you to the theme park to play next weekend. How does that sound?” Eugene asked. “I’ve already gone to the theme park with Mommy previously. Daddy, bring me to the museum instead,” Rue said. Eugene was just about to say something when Asher interrupted, saying, “Do you want to go to the museum? I have a friend who’s working at the museum. I’ll bring you there tomorrow and ask him to be our guide.” “Really? Does your friend really work at the museum?” Rue looked at Asher. “Of course, it’s true. I’ll contact him tonight to make an appointment for tomorrow.” Asher was extremely proactive. Eugene eyed Asher coldly. He felt like beating up this annoying man! “Daddy, can Uncle Asher bring us to the museum tomorrow?” Rue turned around and asked him. Eugene smiled at Rue and said, “Sure, he can be our guide.” Rue was his daught
Both of them were too annoying!“Mommy, you’d better have some of the braised fish.” Rue took a piece of braised fish and placed it in her bowl. “Alright, I’ll have this braised fish.” Fern did not want to look at Eugene or Asher. Both of them quietly ate the food that they meant to give her. Fern felt slightly exhausted. It seemed that both of them wanted to fight at the dining table. After dinner, both of them refused to leave. “You guys can go back now,” Fern had no choice but to ask them to leave in exasperation. “I want to keep Rue company for a little longer.” Eugene looked at Rue. He hoped that Rue would ask him to stay. Rue was a smart girl. She immediately said, “Mommy, I want Daddy to stay back and keep me company tonight. He’s going to bring me to the museum tomorrow.” Asher was hurt by her words. He immediately emphasized, “Rue, I’m the one bringing you there.’ “Oh, Uncle Asher is the one bringing us there,” Rue corrected her words. However, her fathe
Sydney went to the prison to visit her mother today. She saw her mother through the metal bars. She had gotten a lot thinner, and her heart hurt for her. “Mom, you…” She wanted to ask if her mother was doing alright, but she did not know if she should ask her after seeing her like this. Mrs. Neal had been anticipating her daughter convincing Eugene to let her out of prison early. She was being bullied by the other female inmates in prison. She could not stand it anymore. “Syd, has Eugene agreed to let me go?” She knew that as long as Eugene said something about it, she would not have to stay in prison anymore. Sydney’s gaze darkened as a hint of hatred flashed across her eyes. She shook her head and said, “No…” Eugene only had his mind set on divorcing her and getting back together with Fern right now. He would not care about whether her mother lived or died. Mrs. Neal was stunned. She then started getting emotional. She glared at her daughter angrily and questioned
Fern frowned instinctively. Did she want to meet her to blame her for seducing Eugene and convincing him to divorce her? “If you want to talk about your divorce, then we have no reason to meet. I’ve never asked him to divorce you. It’s his own decision.” Fern did not want to meet with her just so they could argue. “It’s because of the divorce, but there are also some other private matters I’d like to talk to you about. It’d be more convenient for us to talk in person.” Fern still was not willing to meet with her in private. “You can tell me about it through the phone.” “What’s wrong? Are you feeling guilty? You don’t dare to meet with me?” Sydney questioned her with a cold sneer. “I’m not feeling guilty, I’m just—” “If you aren’t feeling guilty, what are you afraid of? I just want us to meet. You’ve already snatched my man away. Are you afraid of a loser like me?” “You…” Fern felt that she had misunderstood things. She was making things sound outrageous. “Let’
“Mommy, what’s wrong?” Rue noticed her odd reaction. She asked in shock, “Why are you sweating so much?” As the cabin continued moving up, Fern’s fear and anxiety heightened. She pretended to be alright and said, “I’m fine…” However, she fell from the seat as soon as she finished speaking. Her breathing grew erratic as well. “Mommy? Are you afraid?” Rue was shocked by her reaction. Fern did not know what was happening to her. Suddenly, a shadow loomed before her. Eugene pulled her into his arms. “Are you afraid of heights?” His deep voice sounded from above her. Her face was leaning against his chest, and she could listen to his strong heartbeat. The overwhelming fear and anxiety that washed over her just now subsided a little. However, her heart raced when she caught a glimpse of the view below them. She even felt a little dizzy. She instinctively grasped at the clothes at his waist and closed her eyes. Fern realized now that she had a fear of heights. “I…” “
Sydney had arrived at the cafe a long time ago. She was waiting for her. “I ordered an Americano for you. You can change it to something else if you don’t like it,” Sydney said. “No, thank you.” Fern stirred the coffee in front of her with a teaspoon and took a sip of the coffee. Sydney kept staring at her. A complicated glint flashed across her gaze after she watched her drink the coffee. “I thought you wouldn’t be willing to meet up with me,” Sydney said. “What do you want to tell me?” Fern felt like Sydney was acting slightly weird. Her gaze was slightly terrifying. Sydney took a sip of her coffee and said, “Can you return Eugene to me? I’m begging you.” Fern had thought about what she would tell her before she came over. After listening to her words, she realized that Sydney had asked to meet up because of Eugene. “You don’t need to beg me. I didn’t snatch him from you.” Although she was extremely exasperated, she still wanted to explain things to her. “If
Fern fell on the floor. A wave of excruciating pain washed over her chest. She spat out a mouthful of blood! She looked at Sydney in shock. “You… poisoned my coffee?” Sydney raised her head and burst into laughter. “Hahaha… That’s right. I poisoned your coffee. Since I can’t have him, you shouldn’t think of having him as well!” After Sydney finished speaking, she spat out a mouthful of blood as well. It seemed that she was in the same state as Fern. Fern widened her eyes in disbelief. “You… Did you poison yourself as well?” There was a wild and aggrieved expression on Sydney’s face. “Yes, I want to end my life with you!” She had thought it through. If she poisoned Fern and killed her, Eugene would never forgive her. Since that was the case, she should just die with her. That way, neither of them would be able to have him for themselves. “You… You’re insane!” Fern did not expect Sydney to be so cruel. Not only did she want to poison her to death but she also wanted to
Eugene finally let go of the worries in his heart after registering his words. Just then, Fern was pushed out on the patient’s bed. Her face was extremely pale. She was still unconscious. “The nurses will send her to the ward for observation. We’ll discuss more if any other condition arises,” the doctor said. “Thank you, doctor,” Eugene said.His gaze was still fixed on Fern. As long as she was alright, everything would be fine. At the same time, emergency rescue was being performed on Sydney as well. There was news that the operation was successful. Eugene narrowed his eyes menacingly. Of course, Sydney could not die just like that. It would be way too light of a punishment for her if she died just like that. Fern opened her eyes and was met with the sight of the white ceiling. The smell of antiseptics used in the hospital lingered in her senses. Was she… not dead yet? She moved around and struggled for a while before managing to sit up. She felt like all the en
“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
