Eugene’s smile only faded for a second. Soon, he curved his lips again. “Sure, feel free to join. We’ll see who wins then.”So Simon could get this serious over a woman, too. Very well, he wanted to see how far Simon could go for Sharon.No matter how stupid Sharon might be, even she could tell that the two men had declared war on each other over her now, and their battlefield was the business world. That kind of ticked her off. She was not a trophy for them to fight over.“I appreciate the sentiment, Eugene, but I can take care of myself. There’s no need to trouble you.” She rejected him outright.Eugene seemed to anticipate her rejection, as he was not surprised in the slightest. He just smiled at her and said, “That’s alright. Should you change your mind someday, feel free to come to me whenever.”Simon frowned deeply, a fire of rage burning in his chest. Did that mean Eugene would keep bothering Sharon?“She already rejected you. You can get lost now.” He had never seen someo
This man was hurt so badly but still came here deliberately. Was it only from a fight with Eugene Newton?Sharon’s chest felt suffocated. She was just wondering if she should have a look in the ward next to her when the door was pushed open.She looked up and saw Simon who had returned. He was still in a wheelchair. “Didn’t you leave? Why are you back again?” Sharon stared at him in a huff.Simon’s face was expressionless and his voice was cold. “I’m back to remind you that you’re still the legal wife on my marriage certificate. I’m not dead yet. Don’t think about having any development with Eugene.” After speaking, he told the nurse to push him away. He kept a sullen look on his face. Originally, he came over to talk to her about Rebecca. Unexpectedly, he saw her in Eugene’s embrace.It seemed that he was too over-zealous. He should not have come.Why would she care if anything happened between him and Rebecca? In the ward, Sharon was still staring in the direction of the door. Did
At the door, Sharon was shocked. Panic spread from the bottom of her heart. What did Penelope mean? Would she resort to killing someone? Sharon knew early on that the members of the Zachary family were powerful characters, but she did not expect them to dare to even kill people! She covered her mouth in panic for fear that she would make a sound. Subconsciously, she wanted to leave quietly, but Penelope's next words shocked her again.Penelope said, “As for that Rebecca Lawrence, she usually looks so prim and proper, and even studied abroad, so how could she do such a shameless thing? Putting aside the fact that she caused you an allergic reaction, she even lied on your bed without wearing any clothes. She just wants to take the opportunity to have a relationship with you and then marry into the Zachary family.” Sharon thought she heard it wrongly. So Rebecca was lying? Had she misunderstood Simon? Did they not have a relationship after all? “She thought she can make you take res
Excuse me, I’m not talking back. I’m just defending myself. Can’t I do that when I’ve been falsely accused?” Penelope did not expect Sharon to be so rude. She looked at Simon and said indignantly, “Look, this is the woman you want to marry. She actually disrespects her elders so much!” “Vice President Zachary, didn’t you just say that I’m not allowed to call you sister? You aren’t my elder then,” Sharon said amusedly. “You really have a sharp tongue,” Penelope admonished coldly. “Enough, stop arguing.” Simon finally stepped in and stopped them. There was an imperceptible smile in his eyes while he looked at Sharon. He did not expect that not only was Sharon not afraid of his elder sister, but she could even make her so angry. The eldest sister was right. This woman had a sharp tongue and no conscience. Despite that, he fell under her spell and could not help indulging her. “Penelope, why are you so calculative with a woman who is unworthy and has no manners?” Simon’s tone
Penelope, do take care.” Sharon also became very polite. Seeing Penelope leave, her lips curled upward. As the saying went, one could not be rude to a polite person. It seemed that this was true. At the very least, she did not have to fight with Penelope for now. With a smile still playing at her lips, she turned her head and found Simon’s dark deep eyes staring at her. Instantly, her heart skipped a beat. “Why are you looking at me? Is there something on my face?” She touched her face. “Why did you suddenly remember that you are my wife?” He said coldly. Had she not forgotten her identity after she had Eugene? How could Sharon fail to detect the ridicule in his words? Even so, she could only say that they had misunderstood each other. “I’m sorry.” She apologized to him sincerely. When he heard this, Simon was dumbfounded as he stared fixedly at the woman in front of him. Why did she suddenly apologize? Sharon took a deep breath. She had too many things to tell him, but
Sharon lowered her eyes and organized her thoughts before saying, “I’m sorry for not visiting you during the past two days. I was afraid that you’d still be mad at me.” Simon was silent for a moment before he snorted. “Who did I suffer this injury for? Even if I'm angry, that doesn’t give you the right not to visit.” This woman simply had no conscience. Why was she making excuses? “I was just afraid that you’d get angrier when you saw me, and that it would affect your recovery.” “I thought you were just too busy cuddling Eugene Newton and totally forgot your identity. How could you find the time to visit?” Simon refused to believe her. “I… you’ve misunderstood!” “What's there to misunderstand?” He saw it with his own eyes. How could there be a misunderstanding? “There’s really nothing between Eugene and i. To me, he’s just my boss. That day, he hugged me to comfort me. I was injured at work and he felt sorry about it.” In truth, she still had not figured out what Eugene
“It’ll be the best if you keep to your word. Remember your identity. I don’t accept betrayal,” Simon reminded her in a cold voice. “I knew that you were the best!” In her excitement, she suddenly hugged him.He hummed nonchalantly in response. She tried to let go of him immediately after recalling the fact that he was injured. However, his large palms clasped onto her back tightly, preventing her from leaving his arms. “Did I touch your wound?” Sharon asked anxiously. “Yes…” Simon replied in a low voice. He held her in an embrace, her fragrant scent lingering about his senses. The haze of the past few days dissipated almost instantly. Sharon did not dare to move around. “Let me go at once. If you hurt yourself one more time, it’ll be my fault once again,” she said. His sister would never forgive her for this.Simon sniffed nonchalantly. “Fortunately, you still remember who I suffered all these injuries for,” he remarked. He still did not let go of her. Sharon leaned agains
Sharon’s cheeks flared up with heat. She had believed Rebecca’s words easily without giving it further thought after she told her tearily that Simon had forced himself onto her. After all, no woman would joke about something like that. She would never have expected that Rebecca had lied to her. Besides, she had deliberately taken the photograph at a certain angle in order to cause a misunderstanding. She had believed in Rebecca’s words back then. She did not continue listening to what Rebecca was saying either due to the overwhelming sadness in her heart. Therefore, she had left immediately. She was completely clueless about everything that had happened after that. Simon could read all of her thoughts. She felt like she had no secrets when in front of him. “Alright, I’ll admit that I was upset. I was really angry as well. Even if our marriage was contractual, you shouldn’t have had a relationship with her,” she said. With how things had turned out, she had nothing to be asha
“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
