“Who are you? Why are you lurking around so late at night, scaring people?” Quincy patted her chest as she glared at the figure angrily. The lingering fear remained in her heart. She looked at the way he was dressed. Was he one of Dayton’s men? “Miss Quincy, don’t you know me?” the person asked in a low voice. He was afraid that someone else would discover him. From the tone of his voice, it sounded like both of them knew each other in the past. Quincy gave him a once-over and shook her head. “Who are you? Do we know each other?” “I’m Terry, your personal bodyguard. Do you really not remember me?” He looked at her bulging belly and laughed bitterly. “That’s right. If you remembered me, you wouldn’t become the wife of that bastard, Dayton Night, nor would you bear a child for him!” “Why are you scolding Dayton like that? Do you have a rivalry with him?” Quincy stared at him with suspicion. “I don’t hold a grudge against him. You’re the one who has a grudge against hi
Newton Corporation. Eugene fixed a cold gaze on Wyatt, who came in to give him a report. He said icily, “You mean that Asher Gibbs was the one who spread those rumors?” Wyatt nodded and said, “Yes, he bribed some people in the respective houses of all the elders of the Newton family and asked them to spread rumors that would damage the reputation of Madam. That’s why all the elders of the Newton household dislike her.” “How treacherous!” Eugene narrowed his gaze coldly. He did not expect a grown man like Asher to stoop so low. “President Eugene, shall I bring some men over to teach him a lesson and warn him to stay out of this?” Wyatt had enough of Asher a long time ago. How dare he try to snatch his boss’ woman?! “Do you think that you can get rid of someone like Asher through violence?” Eugene cast him a sideways glance. “This…” Wyatt thought about it intently. “If we aren’t going to resort to violence, are we going to have a logical debate with him instead?” If
Even after hearing what Eugene said, it seemed that Asher still did not intend to give up on Fern. He wanted to sabotage their marriage and was waiting for them to get a divorce.Eugene thought that Asher was just enraged because he did not manage to get together with Fern. He assumed that he was trying to vent the dissatisfaction within him by spreading rumors that would ruin Fern’s reputation. Now that they had met up, he realized that this was not the case. Asher was trying to do this just to snatch Fern back from him. He was still so insistent on getting together with her. It would be hard to make Asher give up on her. Eugene did not intend to say anything else. “If you’re planning to wait for us to get a divorce, you should continue doing so.” He then got up and looked down at Asher from above. “We’ll send out an invitation to you during each and every of our upcoming wedding anniversaries. However, you don’t need to attend the event.” He was trying to tell him that they
Fern did not understand why he was suddenly telling her something like that. She tilted her head to avoid his lips. She then looked straight at him and asked, “Why are you saying that?” Eugene’s gaze darkened as he lowered his voice. “Someone told me that you’d lose your freedom after marrying me.” She frowned before smiling again. “Who told you that?” “Take a guess.” He tried to keep up the suspense. She tried hard to think about it, but she could not figure it out. She then made a random guess. “Was it one of the elders of the Newton household?” He raised his brow and asked, “Would they care about your freedom?” Right, they only wanted her to leave Eugene since they believed that she was a bad omen. Suddenly, she thought of something. She asked hesitantly, “Was it Asher?” Eugene narrowed his eyes slightly and asked, “Asher? Aren’t you afraid that I’ll be jealous if you address him that way?” “I’ve always addressed him that way…” “From today onward, you are
The wall behind her was cold, but the body of the man in front of her was warm. She was stuck in between the wall and his body. It felt icy and fiery hot at the same time. “Mmm… Don’t...” She wanted to hold him back, but he had lost all control. He lifted her legs and placed them around his waist... …The next morning, Fern’s entire body was so sore that it felt like it was about to break apart. Her legs, especially, felt like jelly. Her face heated up when she recalled how crazed Eugene was last night. “Are you awake?” Eugene’s strong arm wrapped around her waist from behind. He then pulled her into an embrace. She leaned her back against his sturdy chest. Lust lingered in the air surrounding them. “Why aren’t you getting up? You’ll be late for work.” She glanced at the clock on the bedside table. “I’ll just be late, then.” Anyways, nobody would dare tell him off for being late. “You can be late, but I can’t.” She then pushed his arm away from her and tried to ge
When Fern arrived at the company, she coincidentally ran into Asher, who was on his way out of the company. She called out to him. “Asher, are you free for a quick chat?” Asher glanced at his watch and said, “I have five minutes.” “Sure.” She walked toward the corner after speaking. He followed behind her. There was nobody else in this corner of the corridor. She turned around to look at him. “I invited you to my wedding, but you didn’t attend the ceremony,” she said. A complicated glint of emotions flashed across his gaze after he heard what she said. “You could make do without my blessing.” She fixed her gaze on him and asked, “Even if you don’t intend to give me your blessing, you shouldn’t attempt to sabotage my marriage, right?” The dark look in his eyes intensified. “Did Eugene complain about me to you?” “He didn’t complain about you. He just let me know what kind of person you truly are.” Up till now, she still found it hard to accept the fact that he had b
...The next day, Dayton’s men forcefully brought Tia away from the island. She was sent back to the villa by the shore on the mainland. Dayton’s men quickly left after leaving her luggage there. They did not want her to throw a tantrum and take out her rage on them again. Tia was beyond angered. She kicked the luggage and cursed angrily, “Damn it! What a bunch of bastards! Dayton is bullying me, and you nobodies aren’t taking me seriously either!”It was all that b*tch Quincy Lane’s fault. She must have seduced Dayton. Otherwise, he would not be treating her so harshly! Hayley came downstairs. When she heard her curses, she could not help but ask, “Why did you come back? Didn’t you say that you’ll be spending your vacation there and you’ll only be back after some time?” “Aunt…” Tia pouted. She then ran over to hug her arm with an aggrieved expression on her face. “I wanted to spend my vacation there, but Dayton chased me away. He wants to spend his time there with Quin
Quincy was in awe of Dayton’s physique. He got injured last night and broke out into a fever as well. However, he recovered the next day after taking a single dose of the medication. She woke up a little late this morning. It was almost ten in the morning when she woke up. Dayton was not next to her. She instinctively sat up. She did not expect to be so deeply asleep. She did not even know when he left the room. After going downstairs, one of Dayton’s men told her that he had gone horse riding. She was shocked. Dayton was injured. Why was he out horse riding? When she came to the seaside, she saw Dayton riding a white horse. He approached her along the shore. He was dressed in a classic white shirt and black suit pants today. The sea breeze blew through his dark hair. He looked slightly rebellious, but he also looked like a regal nobleman who was making his way toward her on a white horse.When he made his way in front of her, she raised her head to look at him. She
