Right then, everyone’s attention was on the old master. The old master still had an irritated and stiff expression on his face. He seemed unhappy. “Fernie has already called you her grandfather. You need to show respect to your granddaughter-in-law in front of so many people,” Eugene whispered into the old master’s ear as he stood beside him. The old master cast a sideways glance at him and huffed. “Did I allow her to address me that way?” “You’re already here to attend our wedding. That means you’ve accepted her. Shouldn’t she address you that way?” Eugene asked with a smile. The old master glanced at Eugene, who was being gentle and courteous toward him. He huffed. He knew that this rascal was just speaking with such a dignified air to make him stay. Rue came over and held the old master’s hand. “Great-grandfather, I’ll be extremely upset if you don’t stay back.” She then pouted and showed him a sad expression. The old master looked at them. He knew that he would
The old master was sent into the emergency room. Everyone was waiting for him in the corridor. Fern was still dressed in the wedding gown. She had come over together with Eugene. The old master fainted during their wedding ceremony. Naturally, she had to come over with him. A few uncles and aunts from the Newton family came along as well. They looked at the tightly shut door of the emergency room, then at Fern, who was still dressed in the luxurious wedding gown. One of them could not help but speak up, “It’s no wonder I heard that the old master has always disliked her in the past. This is the reason why. She’s a bad omen.” “I heard that too. The old master thinks that she isn’t a good woman. She isn’t a good match for Eugene, but Eugene didn’t listen to him and insisted on marrying her.” “She looks like a seductress. Otherwise, she wouldn’t have been able to charm Eugene to this extent.” “I think that the old master didn’t really accept her. He was simply afraid tha
Eugene caught sight of the old master lying on the bed after entering the emergency room. There was a ventilator covering his nose and mouth, but he was panting heavily. He seemed to be in critical condition.“Grandfather!” Eugene took a few steps over and held the old man’s hand tightly. A sense of heaviness enveloped his chest. Old Master Newton fixed his muddled gaze on his grandson. He held his hand with all his might. His lips trembled as he spoke, “Eugene…” He had been waiting for him. “Grandfather, it’s me. The doctors are going to treat you. You’ll be fine.” The old master understood his own situation well. “I understand my body better than they do. Listen to me… After I pass on, you must look after the Newton household…” The more he spoke, the more he started panting erratically. Eugene’s heart lurched painfully. “What nonsense are you saying? Nothing will happen to you!” “Did you hear what I said?” The old master held his hand tightly. He was losing the streng
Eugene suddenly let go of her and turned around to look at the doctor coldly. The doctor left the room in fear at once. Fern held him back and comforted him in a soft, gentle voice. “Eugene, let Grandfather pass on peacefully. We need to prepare for his funeral now.” Eugene lowered his head to look at her. He pursed his lips without saying anything. She could tell that he was extremely upset from the stiff expression on his face. She reached out to hug him. “Death is a natural phenomenon in life. Grandfather has gone to another world to continue living. Don’t be too upset.” His gaze darkened as he fixed it on her. Perhaps he had decided to listen to what she said. “Sorry, I should be giving you an unforgettable wedding today, but you need to prepare for a funeral with me now.” She deliberately showed him a rigid expression and said, “You’re wrong. I’m your wife. Of course, I must do everything by your side.” Her words made his heart flutter. His gaze on her darkened as h
Quincy realized that Dayton had suddenly fallen silent. She raised her head to look at him. She then noticed that he was frowning. There was a heavy and cold expression on his face too.“What’s wrong? Was I really bad at making friends in the past? Did I not have many friends?” She minded this a lot. Dayton touched his nose and refused to look at her. He nodded slightly and said, “Yes, you were pretty poor at making friends.”“Why?” She had a look of confusion on her face. Did she have such a lousy personality in the past? “Because…” Dayton played with the strands of her hair using his long and slender fingers. “As a young miss, you had a terrible temper. Nobody dared to offend you, so everyone avoided you.” Quincy frowned. She tried her best to recall the past, but nothing came to mind. Did she really have such a bad temper back then? “Tell me about how bad my temper was.” How could she not even have a single friend? Dayton fixed his dark, almond-shaped eyes on her and
All of the family members of the Newton household were here to send the old master off one last time.Everyone was dressed in black. There were white flowers pinned on their chests as well. Almost a hundred family members of the Newton household crowded in front of the old master’s grave. As the head of the household, Eugene stood in front. Meanwhile, Fern stood beside him. They had just completed their wedding ceremony, but they had to hold a funeral today. It was pretty inauspicious. However, Fern did not mind it at all. Although the old master was not really accepting of her in the past, he was Eugene’s grandfather, which meant that he was her grandfather as well. It started drizzling after the funeral ended. A subordinate held up an umbrella for both of them. Eugene held Rue’s hand with one of his and wrapped his other arm around Fern’s waist. They all left together. Just then, they heard someone complain, “That’s her. I heard that she’s a bad omen. When the old ma
Eugene swept his cold gaze across everyone present at the funeral and said, “This is my last time saying this. I don’t want to hear anyone bad-mouthing my wife anymore. Otherwise, don’t blame me for falling out with you. If anyone wishes to leave the Newton household, I’d gladly honor your wish.” All the family members of the Newton household took a sharp breath after hearing what he said. They all exchanged looks with each other. They did not dare to say anything although they were still unwilling to accept his words. After Eugene finished speaking, he ignored the expressions on their faces and left the cemetery with his wife and daughter. They then got in the car and left. Fern looked at Eugene, who still had an unpleasant expression on his face. She could not help but ask, “Weren’t your words too harsh?” “What words?” Eugene turned around to look at her. He then raised his brow and asked, “Do you mean when I asked them to leave the household?” He did not think so. “Sinc
“Huh? Really?” Both of them stared at the protruding part of her stomach and started investigating it. When Tia heard that Dayton wanted to bring Quincy over for a vacation, she stubbornly insisted on following them. She ran to the seaside and saw both of them sitting on a bench under the tree while acting all lovey-dovey. A sense of suffocation instantly overcame her. She clenched her hands into fists and ran over at once. “Dayton, I heard that we can go fishing in the ocean. Can you bring me along?” She walked over and grabbed Dayton’s arm. She then shook it in a coquettish manner. Dayton frowned and removed her hand. “If you want to go fishing, you can ask the manager here to bring you. He should know more about it than me.” “But… I want you to come with me.” Tia pouted and cast a pleading gaze at him. “I’m not free.” Dayton ignored her.“You seem pretty free now.” Tia was slightly angered. She glared at Quincy, who was seated beside him. Quincy glanced at T
“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
