The woman reached out to take away the glass of liquor in Asher’s hand after speaking. He glared at the woman angrily and shouted, “Scram!” He was extremely frustrated right now. He did not want anyone to disturb him. The woman was shocked by his fierceness. She said irritatedly, “Hmph, why are you being so fierce? You don’t know how to appreciate my offer.” “Scram right now!” He was not patient at all. After the woman left, he continued drinking. The alcohol could not numb the despondence in his heart. At night, Fern cautiously walked out of Rue’s room after she fell asleep. Eugene was looking through some documents in the living room. Ever since he got discharged from the hospital, Jim had come up with plenty of excuses to bring over the documents from the company so that he could handle them. During the year that he was unconscious, Newton Corporation had been managed by Jim. However, he did not put his heart into managing the corporation, so the company made a
The bar was in a mess. There were broken glasses and bottles on the floor. The tables and chairs had all been pushed down as well. This disastrous scene was hard to look at. All the customers in the bar had left. Two of the customers whom Asher had beaten up were seated a distance away. They were waiting for someone to apologize or compensate them. If the waiter at the bar were not holding them back, they would have rushed over to beat Asher up a long time ago. Their faces were badly bruised from the beating that Asher gave them. Fern caught sight of Asher lying on the floor a short distance away. A few waiters were monitoring him as they were afraid that he would cause a ruckus once again. She was just about to walk over when Wyatt grabbed hold of her. “Be careful. There are glass shards all over the floor.” “I know.” She avoided the shards of glass and made her way in front of Asher. “What’s wrong with him?” she asked the bar waiter. The bar manager replied to her
“Their marriage has been confirmed? When did this happen?” He stared at the woman in his arms and asked, “Fernie, are you really going to marry him?” Fern could finally take a breath. “Asher, stop causing a ruckus. You’d better head back with me since you’re so drunk.” It was useless to discuss these things with him now. “Reply to me first. Are you really going to marry Eugene?” Asher held her shoulders with both hands and asked her. Fern was forced to meet his gaze. Although she knew that he was drunk now, she still nodded and said, “Yes, I’m going to marry him.” “You…” Asher’s expression changed at once. Evidently, he found it hard to accept this answer. The next second, he suddenly pushed her away and clenched his fists. He then swung his fists at Wyatt and shouted, “Eugene Newton, you bastard! She belongs to me!” It was too late for Fern to stop him. She could only call out to Wyatt, “Be careful!” Wyatt was extremely agile. Not only did he manage to catch Asher’s
After Eugene woke up, Fern had been accompanying him to rehabilitation and taking care of his basic necessities. She had not thought about his gene problems at all. She did not intend to ask him about it anymore. Sharon had already explained everything to her. While he was unconscious, she had done a genetic test on Rue. Rue had inherited the madness gene, but it was not dominant, so everything would be as normal so long as she was not triggered. She learned that his madness gene was not dominant as well. He would only be triggered under certain circumstances. He was just like anyone else at other times, so she did not have to worry too much. She then asked Sharon more about the madness gene and got to know that this genetic disease was inevitable. However, the disease was not as severe in their generation. As long as Eugene kept himself calm, the madness gene in him would not be triggered. “What if I don’t like you anymore?” she asked on purpose.Eugene raised his head to
“I didn’t think I’d be able to witness both of them holding a wedding ceremony in this lifetime,” Sharon remarked. Eugene and Fern had broken up for such a long time. Eugene even married another woman afterward. Sharon truly did not expect both of them to end up together in the end. This must be the power of destiny. Simon grabbed a tie and handed it to her. “Darling, help me wear my tie.” She put down the invitation and took the tie from him. She then stood in front of him and helped him put on his tie. Simon glanced at the invitation on the coffee table. His gaze finally landed back on the woman in front of him. He suddenly asked, “Why don’t we hold a wedding ceremony as well?” His words shocked her. She paused her movements and raised her head to look at him. “Don’t even think of doing that.” He smirked in amusement. “What’s wrong? Isn’t it a woman’s greatest wish to put on a wedding gown?” “Who told you that a woman must wear a wedding gown?” She did not thi
Sharon was shocked after hearing what Dayton said. “What did you say? She’s showing signs of premature delivery?” On New Year’s Eve, Quincy had called her to tell her that she was pregnant. She also asked her to head over to visit her if she was free. However, she did not have time to visit Quincy because Eugene had recently woken up. Besides, she was busy with her own matters as well.She did not expect Quincy to be in such a bad condition now.“Yes, she bled a lot last night. She has been hospitalized to keep the child stabilized, but her emotions are extremely unstable. The doctor said that she must maintain a calm state of mind at all times. Otherwise, it would be hard for her to keep the child in her womb,” Dayton said in a heavy voice.Sharon frowned and instinctively asked, “What did you do to her?”“What could I have done to her?” Dayton suddenly realized that something was off. He questioned Sharon coldly, “What do you mean by that?”“Why would she be emotionally uns
To be honest, Sharon did not feel like seeing Dayton as well. However, she treated Quincy like her younger sister. She could not ignore her since she was in trouble now.“Just assume that you’re doing a good deed. Quincy will thank you after she gives birth to her child safely.”Simon held her hand tightly and asked, “Why don’t you understand even though I’ve told you so many things?”“What?” She looked at him in confusion.Simon’s gaze darkened as he fixed his eyes on her. He kissed the back of her hand. Then, he lowered his voice and said, “I don’t want you to leave my side for too long.”Sharon met his gaze. They had been married for such a long time. Why did she still feel her heart flutter whenever he said something sweet like that? She circled her arms around his neck and raised her head to meet his dark eyes. “I understand. I don’t want to leave you either. I’ll come back as soon as possible, alright?” The tone of her voice was so soft and gentle that it sounded like she
Quincy hugged Dayton tightly. However, her body was still trembling all over. She had another nightmare. She dreamt about her parents’ terrible deaths. They had blood all over their faces as they asked her why she was with Dayton. They forced her to leave Dayton… Dayton patted her back lightly. There was a hint of pity in his low voice. “It’s alright, I’ll always be here. Don’t be afraid.” Suddenly, she raised her head from his embrace and looked at him without blinking. “You said that my parents passed away in a car accident, right?” She had lost all of her memories in the accident back then, so she did not remember anything.Dayton’s gaze darkened under her stare after he heard her question.After a momentary silence, he nodded and said, “Yes.” “Why did they get involved in a car accident?” she continued asking. Dayton frowned. Why was she suddenly asking about this? Did she remember something? He suddenly tensed up as he asked, “Do you remember something?
