She paused, looked up at him, and said, “I know that there should be some beef between you two but that is your business. It's your business if you want to fight to death too. I'm just an employee, so what does it have to do with me?”Simon and Eugene were like enemies as soon as they met. There must be a battle between the two corporations in the business world. This was not a strange thing, but this was between the two presidents, so why did they have to involve her?“Besides, if I return to Central Corporation, your elder sister must have opinions about me and other people in the company will not welcome me back. Howard might even take action against me secretly. I can't work well for you in such an environment.”She said so much, but at the end of the day, she just did not want to go back to Central Corporation again. What's more, he bullied her like that last night and she was still angry. How could she go back to the company with him now?Simon stared at her with dark eyes. H
It was very strange. Why would Fiona come to a place like this?As if possessed, she secretly followed her. She wanted to see what Fiona came here to do.She followed her discreetly, trailing Fiona all the way to a church. She never thought this place would have a church.Fiona did not look like a devout Christian. Was she here to pray?Sharon followed her inside. Fiona did not pray at the altar and headed to the columbarium instead. There were cremation plaques here, ones that the church provided for regular people when they passed away.She saw Fiona kneel and lay the flowers she brought down. The plaque she was at had words engraved, but it was a little too far for Sharon to see clearly.While Sharon was questioning whom Fiona was visiting, she heard her open her mouth and start speaking to the plaque. “Silas, today is the anniversary of your death. I’ve come to see you.“Without realizing it, it’s been six years since you’ve left me and Howard…”Hearing Fiona say these thin
Simon glanced at the plaque behind her. Today was his brother’s death anniversary. It was right for his sister-in-law to have come.His shuttered gaze returned to her. “What errand could you have here?”“Of course, it’s a business matter,” Sharon blurted quickly, but she regretted it a little after saying it. Was this not telling him she started working at Eugene Newton’s company?The man’s expression darkened as expected. The gaze he pinned on her was no less cold. “You still went to work for Eugene?”“This is my job,” she emphasized. Why did he make it sound so bad?“Must you work for him?” No matter how she explained it, he just would not allow her to go to Eugene’s company.Sharon did not want to argue with him because of this anymore, not to mention she was still hungry and did not have the strength to argue with him.“Aren’t you here to visit your older brother? I won’t bother you then.” After saying this, she began to leave.However, when she passed by the man’s side, he
Perhaps it was because this place was already quite secluded, so not many people came and few customers were inside.When Simon Zachary—this person whom one could tell had a special air about him at just a glance—came in, immediately had most eyes were on him.The restaurant’s owner greeted him at once. He was shaken by Simon’s natural-born, powerful aura, and his voice trembled unconsciously. “Welcome. What would you like to eat?”Simon did not look at the owner and promptly said, “She’s ordering.” He found an empty seat and sat down.Sharon glared at the man sitting there like an entitled lord and waiting to be served. She cursed him inwardly but smiled at the owner as she said, “Two beef Bolognese. No parsley in mine, thanks.”“I don’t want parsley either,” Simon said abruptly.Sharon glanced at him involuntarily. He did not eat parsley either?The owner immediately bellowed to the kitchen, “Two beef Bolognese without parsley!”Sharon sat in front of Simon. Seeing that he sa
“Where’s your car?”“I asked Franky to drive it back just now,” he said as he opened the passenger seat and jumped in.Sharon had to wonder if he knew she was coming here. Was all that about visiting his brother just an excuse?He wanted her to treat him to a meal and even asked her to be his driver. Was he kidding? She had not even forgiven him yet, how dare he!“Hurry up, get in.” The man even hastened her when she froze!Sharon forced down her frustration and got into her car. She started the engine and hit the accelerator, driving down the road without saying a single word to him the entire time.Simon sat in the passenger seat without an ounce of guilt. He did not say anything to her, either.Some time after the beginning of the car ride, a phone ringtone broke the silence in the car.It was Sharon’s phone, which she had put in the compartment next to her. The caller ID said Eugene Newton.Both of them saw the name on the screen at the same time. Sharon’s heart leaped int
When Sharon woke up, she saw that she was lying next to a stream. Her head was dizzy and her entire body hurt. After she forced herself to sit up, she finally noticed Simon lying on the ground not far away.He just lay there motionlessly, blood on his body.The memories of that accident surged into her mind. She remembered how he had protected her the entire time, even when they were tumbling down the hill.Her heart immediately became frantic. She crawled toward him, panicked and scared. When she spoke, her lips trembled. “Simon, wake up. Are you okay? D-Don’t… Don’t scare me…” She nearly burst out crying.The man lying on the ground did not react. Even his breathing was faint. Sharon was really scared now. She wanted to call for help, but how could she find their phones now?They were in the middle of nowhere. She had no idea when anyone would save them.She held his head up and hugged him tightly, saying with a sob, “Simon, wake up…”No matter how she called him, though, Si
Simon frowned deeply. It must hurt when she touched his wound, but he just kept his expression hard and did not make a sound,Sharon bandaged the wound on his leg quickly and moved to check the rest of his body.“Tell me, are you hurt anywhere else?” She looked at him, anxious and worried. She was not in the best shape either, but her injuries were not as bad as his.Simon leaned against the large tree, looking at her intently. His voice was deep. “Are you really that worried about me? Are you worried I’ll die?”When he saw how concerned she was about him, how she had eyes for nothing but him, he felt a certain satisfaction in his heart.“Why are you still talking about that at a time like this? Just tell me, does it hurt anywhere else? If you won’t say it, I’ll strip you and check myself,” she said seriously.Simon just curved the corners of his lips. “Sure, go ahead.”Sharon was in no mood to play games. “Pardon me, then.” She reached out to undo his buttons, but the moment he
“What are you crying about? These wounds won’t kill me.” Simon frowned slightly. He said that, but his voice was clearly much weaker than before.Sharon wiped her tears again. She was not going to say that she was crying out because his actions moved her. That would be too awkward and emotional.“Shut up. I’ll try to find herbs nearby to apply to your wounds.” She did not let him see her crying face before she stood up and walked into the woods nearby.“Hey… Don’t go too far.” Simon was wondering what herbs she could find, but either way, he did not want her to leave right now.”“I’ll be back soon.” She could not leave him here alone for long either.These woods were vast and large. There had to be some disinfecting herbs here. The wounds on his back were too much and definitely required some first aid with those herbs.Soon, she found the herbs she was looking for. She harvested quite a lot of them and then ran back in a hurry.“Simon, I found the herbs…” She ran toward him hap
“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
