Dayton stuffed one of his hands in the pants pocket of his suit and narrowed his eyes slightly as he fixed his gaze on the woman standing in front of him. He could tell that she was extremely angry. It even seemed that she hated him a lot. After all, in her eyes, he murdered her parents and took away everything that belonged to her family. However, the Lanes caused his parents and his home to perish as well. They were each other’s rivals. Nevertheless, their lives were miserably intertwined with each other. He could tell that she was a different person from who she was four years ago. She exuded a sharp sense of harshness. She knew how to plot schemes as well. She no longer looked like a clueless young miss who only knew how to rush into things in a straightforward manner. “So you’re the person behind Clover Corporation,” he said in a confirmatory tone. Since Quincy had decided to meet up with him, she was not afraid to let him know about her true identity and what she
In her eyes, he was only reacting this way because he wanted to protect Tia Smith. Dayton’s heavy expression grew sterner. “I’m not pretending.” He had sent his men to investigate the cause of the fire in the hospital. However, the surveillance cameras were all ruined by the fire back then, so there was no way for him to find out who the culprit was. “Right, regardless of everything, both of you are distant relatives. Even if you want to make things difficult for her, you’d need to gain your aunt’s approval to do so.” “I’ll go back and look into it. If it really was her, I’ll properly compensate you,” Dayton said with a heavy expression on his face. “Compensation?” Quincy smiled ambiguously. She could not help but find it amusing. “How do you intend to compensate me? Are you going to burn her to death as well?” Dayton looked her in the eye and said in a serious tone, “If you want me to do that, I can do it.” Quincy met his gaze without saying anything. The evaluati
Sirius frowned after hearing what his mommy said. Perhaps he was unhappy because of his father’s nonchalant attitude. Little Cupcake immediately said, “See, your daddy doesn’t care about you at all. He’s not worried about you after you started calling someone else your mommy. Instead of asking you to go home with him, he said you can stay here without any worries. He doesn’t even care if you’d live well here.” Although Sirius said that he was not willing to go back with his daddy, he still wished that his daddy could come here to ask him if he wanted to go home. However, not only did his daddy not bother to come inside to see him or ask him if he wanted to go home but he even told him that he could stay here. It seemed that his daddy really disliked him! Never mind. He rarely cared about his life, so he never relied on him as well. He had a mommy now. His mommy’s care would suffice. From today onward, he would be staying here. Even if his daddy regretted his decision
Ever since Dayton ordered his men to turn her into a mute, she had never seen him again. Although she managed to speak after that, she still did not dare to meet up with him. She did hate him, but most of her hatred for him vanished after Quincy died. At least, he had lost Quincy. Besides, he only turned her into a mute because of Quincy back then. She could speak now, but her voice sounded extremely bad. She usually refrained from speaking since her own voice disgusted her. She was embarrassed to meet Dayton as well. She was afraid that her voice would frighten him and make him loathe her. Now that he suddenly asked to meet up with her, she was at a loss for what to do. Her anxiety overweighed her joy. Why did he want to see her now? Even Hayley found it weird. She frowned and asked, “Did you ask him why he wanted to see you?” “I asked him, but the butler doesn’t know either. He just mentioned that Dayton wanted to see me.” Tia pulled Hayley’s hand and said, “Aunt
Tia’s face turned frighteningly pale. She felt more guilty and terrified when Dayton fixed his cold and sharp gaze on her.She kept wondering about how Dayton found out about it.What evidence did he find? Why was he only questioning her about what she did after four years?No… All the surveillance cameras were ruined by the fire back then. There was no evidence left behind. Otherwise, given how capable he was, it would not have taken four years for him to find out that she was the one behind everything. Therefore, he did not have any evidence. Perhaps he had just heard gossip from someone. After analyzing the situation at hand, Tia’s panicked heart slowly calmed down... As long as he did not have evidence and she kept denying everything, he could not do anything to her. She shook her head and feigned a look of rage due to the wrongful accusation. “Who was the one who spread rumors in front of you and accused me of something that I never did? You know as well that I was
Dayton no longer wanted to hear her defending herself. He waved his hand. His men then dragged her outside. Tia felt like she was being dragged to her execution site. She struggled and fought against them with all her might. “It really wasn’t me! If you listen to her and accuse me wrongfully, I won’t let go of her even after I die!” Dayton did not care about what she said. He only believed in Quincy. He just wanted to bring Tia’s ashes to her as compensation. Furthermore… Tia dared to attempt to burn his wife to death. As her husband, how could he not take revenge for her? Dayton’s men dragged Tia into a small room. After that, she was locked up inside. She hit the door in terror and shouted, “Let me out… Don’t burn me to death. I beg you guys…” She cried as she pleaded with them and repeatedly hit the door. She wished that Dayton would change his mind. Perhaps he was just trying to scare her. Dayton stood outside the door and asked coldly, “Are you willing to tell m
“Ah! Ah! Save me! Someone come and save me!” Tia screamed in a shrill tone from inside the building, which was now surrounded by strong flames. Hayley was beyond panicked after hearing her cries for help. “Tia, I’ll go in to save you at once. Hang in there!” Tia immediately shouted for help after hearing what she said. “Aunt… Save me, quick… I’m dying soon. Ah!” The fire was definitely burning her right now! Hayley ordered Dayton’s men, “Put out the fire at once! Do you hear me?!” These were all Dayton’s men, and they only listened to his orders. None of them would put out the fire if Dayton did not say anything. Since she could not make them do anything, Hayley had no choice but to shout at Dayton once again, “Ask your men to extinguish the fire at once! Are you really going to burn Tia to death? Someone is alive inside there!” Dayton looked at her emotionlessly and said, “She’s a breathing human, but isn’t Quincy a breathing human too?” Hayley was stunned. She th
“Don’t call me your aunt, you cruel and heartless thing!” Hayley shouted at him in a fit of rage. Dayton knew that he would get scolded by her before coming in, so his expression remained unchanged. “Aunt, don’t get emotional. You should rest well and let your wounds heal.” “Don’t tell me such pretentious words! Do you know how pitiful Tia is right now? How can you be so harsh?” Hayley really wanted to cut his heart out and see if it was made of ice. “I’ve hired the best doctors to treat her.” He said in a tone that made it seem like he had shown Tia a huge act of mercy. “The best doctors?” Hayley suddenly burst out into laughter. “Hehe… The best doctors are useless. She has burns everywhere. She’d rather die than live in her current state...” “Aunt, you were the one who wanted to rescue her…” Dayton said coldly. Hayley washed away the pain in her heart and raised her head to look at him. “Do you mean that I shouldn’t have rescued her? If it weren’t for me, she would’v
