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…
Quincy could not hold her back in time, so she simply let her go down on her own. The toilet was not far away, so she did not have to worry too much about it. Little Cupcake came out of the toilet and prepared to look for her mommy. However, she forgot whether she had to take a left or a right turn. Actually, she was not too good with directions. She was in a rush just now, so she had forgotten everything. Besides, the interior design of the hotel was the same on both the left and the right. She could not tell the difference at all. What should she do now? There was nobody here, so she could not ask them for directions as well. She decided to head left first. If she could not find her mommy, she would walk back here.However, her thoughts were too simple. This was a large hotel. She did not see her mommy after heading all the way to the left. She wanted to return to her starting point, but she forgot how many turns she had taken just now.Little Cupcake pouted. She felt like
Little Cupcake felt slightly abashed after Sirius laughed at her. She straightened her neck and retorted, “No, I’m not bad with directions! I just can’t differentiate north, south, east, and west!” “Doesn’t that mean that you’re bad with directions?” Sirius spread his arms. “I told you that I’m not and that’s that!” Little Cupcake’s face was a little flushed. She was slightly angered. Sirius did not want to argue with her. Besides, he was not one to speak much. He said in a self-mocking tone, “Why did I come out with a fool like you who can’t even tell directions well?” After speaking, he turned around to return to the room. Little Cupcake immediately reached out to grab his sleeve. She stopped acting tough now. “Brother, can you help me look for my mommy first? Is that alright?” “Let go of me. I’m not your brother.” Sirius frowned. He would have pushed her off a long time ago if this happened to him on other days. However, the little girl who was bad with directions f
When he thought about how his mother had abandoned him after giving birth to him, he felt sad and angry. He exclaimed irritatedly, “Why do you care?! Look after your own child!” He then turned around and ran away after shouting out loud.“Sigh…” Quincy wanted to call out to him, but it was too late. He disappeared in the blink of an eye. “Mommy…” Little Cupcake looked at her in confusion. She seemed to be interested in that little boy? Quincy returned to her senses and looked at her daughter. “Who’s that little boy? What’s his name?” “Oh, I forgot to ask him what his name was. I don’t know who he is either. I just found him playing with building blocks in a room alone, so I pitied him and brought him out to play. However, I forgot the directions,” Little Cupcake told her honestly. A hint of disappointment flashed across Quincy’s gaze. She turned around to look in the direction that the boy ran away. He really resembled Dayton a lot... Never mind. Anyway, she was back to l
Renee was dressed in a light gold-colored gown tonight. Her long, wavy hair was splayed across her back, which made her look all the more charming. She walked in front of Quincy and Little Cupcake in her high heels. She struck a sexy pose in front of them. “What do you guys think about this outfit? I’ll be wearing this to meet that devoted Young Master Night.” Little Cupcake immediately praised her. “You look pretty in anything, Renee!” “Thank you for your praise.” Renee pinched Little Cupcake’s face and looked at Quincy. She then said, “Sis Quincy, come with me to meet Young Master Night. You can help me judge his character.” Quincy frowned and asked, “Why? Are you really considering developing a deeper relationship with him?” Renee raised her brow and said, “If he’s a good person and the type of man that I like, I can pursue a deeper relationship with him. That way, I won’t be looked down on by my family at home.” She knew that her stepmother wanted her to get marri
“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
