Quincy was extremely cruel. Not only did she abandon her own son but there was still no news about her until now! He had been looking for her all these years. He looked for her using all sorts of means but there was not any news at all. It was as if she had vanished from the surface of the earth. However, his instincts told him that she would not disappear just like that. She would appear sooner or later. Even if she did not want her son, she would surely want to get back everything that the Lanes owned. “Where’s my mommy? When will she be back?” Sirius asked as he looked at Dayton. Dayton returned to his senses after hearing what he said. However, he could not answer his son’s question. He wished to know when she would be back as well. “Everyone else has a mummy. Why don’t I have one?” Sirius continued questioning him. Dayton’s expression darkened. “Who said that you don’t have one?” “Then why isn’t she by my side?” This was no different from not having a
She did not know if Dayton heard what she said. He walked into the house emotionlessly. He was thinking about Sirius throwing a tantrum at him just now. He must be hiding in his room and refusing to come out right now. Hayley noticed that he was disregarding her. She finally extended her arm to grab hold of him. “I’m talking to you. Are you listening?” “What’s wrong?” There was an unhappy expression on Dayton’s face since he was forced to stop walking. “I was talking about the Sullivans. They’re an emerging force in the industry. You must interact more with them. It’d be better to have one more friend in the business field instead of having another foe.” Dayton frowned and said, “Benefits are the only things that matter in the business field. Friends don’t last forever,” he said before going upstairs. “Sigh, this rascal… Even if benefits are the only things that matter, it’d still be great to obtain short-term benefits!” Hayley shouted as he walked upstairs. Dayton still
She would not tell Tia anything no matter how much she asked her about it. Tia felt that something was off. She kept this in mind. She had to pay attention to Dayton and her aunt’s actions. …A group of people walked out of the airport’s VIP passage. “Mommy, is this your hometown?” A little girl with short, curly hair and delicate facial features that made her look like a doll asked. She looked extremely adorable. The woman she called her mommy had short, cropped hair. She was dressed in black leather shirt and pants. She was wearing a pair of black sunglasses as well. She looked extremely cool. Quincy Lane took off her sunglasses and looked at the sky outside the airport. This was the shade of blue that she was used to. She had left this place for many years. “Yes, this is my hometown.” She had missed her hometown a lot, but she hated this place because of that man’s existence as well. “Mommy, are we going to stay here for some time?” Little Cupcake raised her head
At night, Quincy brought her daughter to the Sulllivans’ place just in time for the welcome dinner. The Sullivans had prepared a welcome dinner for them. They were waiting for their arrival. Mr. and Mrs. Sullivan had two daughters. Their eldest daughter was married, so she was not at home. Their younger daughter was unmarried, so she stayed at home. She was Carter Sullivan’s illegitimate daughter but was recognized as part of the family. “Miss Quincy, you’re here. Welcome in,” Carter Sullivan greeted them at the door with his wife and daughter. “Thank you for greeting us.” Quincy chuckled. “It’s a must. Without you, the Sullivans wouldn’t be where we are today.” Carter welcomed them into the house as he said, “Come in at once.” “Oh, what an adorable little girl. Miss Quincy, is she your daughter?” Mrs. Sullivan asked with a smile. “Yes. Greet everyone, Little Cupcake.” Little Cupcake spoke obediently, “Nice to meet you, aunt and uncle.” She then turned around to
Quincy glanced at Renee, who was seated opposite her. Renee had started eating without paying them any mind. She smiled and said, “I admire you for having such a pretty daughter as well.” Mrs. Sullivan glanced at Renee. She was not even her biological child. What was there to admire about her? “Sis Quincy, don’t praise me for being pretty. I’m afraid that everything will backfire on me,” Renee said after taking a sip of her wine. “Backfire? What do you mean?” Quincy did not understand. Renee shrugged and said confidently, “I know that I was born with a beautiful appearance, but I don’t need others to praise me for that. What if God hears the praises and decides to take back all my beauty?” Quincy did not understand why she had such thoughts. She simply smiled and said, “I won’t praise you, then.” “What kind of beauty do you think you were born with? You’re not being serious at all,” Carter reprimanded his daughter. An ambiguous smile formed on Mrs. Sullivan’s face
When Quincy heard that Renee had agreed to go on a blind date with Dayton, she was beyond shocked. “Are you sure? Don’t take into account how devoted he is. He was once married and has a child as well. Don’t you mind that at all?”She voiced up because she did not want Renee to fall into Dayton’s trap. He was not a good person at all.He was an extremely cruel person. Nobody knew that better than she did.Renee smiled cheerily and said, “It’s fine. I’m just going to meet him. He may not like me. If he still hasn’t forgotten his ex-wife, he won’t fall for me.”Quincy still wanted to say something but Renee was right. Dayton was extremely unpredictable. If he could not use her to his advantage, he would not even bother looking at her.After eating, Carter invited Quincy to his study for a discussion.Quincy asked Little Cupcake to play with Renee in the garden.In the study, Carter showed her all of the company’s financial reports and investment projects from the last quarter of t
Back then, she thought that Dayton was the best husband in the world. She thought that he would be the best father in the world as well. Her emotions were unstable, so her pregnancy did not go smoothly. She had to stay at home all the time to stabilize the child. On that day four years ago, she was sitting on the swing in the garden due to her boredom. He came home and sat on the swing with her. He could tell that she was extremely down and bored, so he told her that he would bring her to an island to relax. He even put down all his work to accompany her and their child. She really admired him when she thought about how he managed to act like the perfect husband while using her. He made it seem like he was extremely caring and thoughtful toward her. It was as if she was the center of his world. Finally, she understood that he did so much for her just because of the child in her womb. She still remembered everything from the past clearly. However, she was not as upset
Quincy looked at Renee, who was laughing out loud. Her hair and long dress billowed in the night breeze, which made her seem all the more enchanting and alluring. Her smile was radiant whereas her eyes shone brightly. She exuded a sense of confidence. Someone like that made others feel like approaching her, especially someone like Quincy, whose heart was filled with darkness a long time ago due to the trauma she experienced. Renee was just like a charming sunflower. Quincy wanted to approach her to get some warmth from her, but she did not dare to do so. “Sis Quincy, my father always mentions that you’re extremely skilled in business. There isn’t a deal that you can’t manage to win. I want to learn from you as well. Will you be willing to teach me?” Renee told her about her thoughts. Quincy felt slightly taken aback. “Do you want to learn about how to run a business?” Renee nodded, then shook her head. “Not really. To be honest, I’m running a bar right now. The business…
