Sharon bit her lip. She had known earlier on that Fiona did not invite her to the birthday party out of goodwill, but she did not expect Fiona and Sally to partner up and frame her.Although… they had partnered up five years ago to harm her, did they not?She just thought the whole situation was amusing. How could these people be fooled by Fiona when they had not figured out the actual situation and go as far as to curse her?Simon's eyebrows started furrowing deeply. Sharon was able to stay calm as she listened to others cursing at her, but he could not."Since everyone is already here, then I'll be introducing her to all of you today. This is my wife, Sharon Jeans. I know my wife's character very well, so please stop your speculation toward her." He remained somewhat polite since those present today were close friends and relatives.However, he was less polite to Fiona. "Apologize to my wife, Fiona." She slandered his wife in front of so many others, and it was something he coul
“Who… Who are you?” Fiona was not able to recognize the person, but she still felt an inexplicable panic.While everyone was looking at the woman, Sharon walked over to stand beside her and said to Fiona, “I already told you that I was going to give you a special gift, Fiona. You haven’t seen this person for a long time now, and I think you’ll be delighted to see her today.” Under Fiona’s puzzled gaze, the person pulled her cloak down, revealing her face.There was another wave of exclamations all around. “Huh? Why is it a nun?”Sheryl had come wearing her habit, and she was staring at Fiona coldly. Fiona almost fainted the moment she saw Sheryl. Her breathing became uneven as she pointed at her while trembling, “How… How are you not dead?”Fiona was obviously horrified when she laid her eyes on Sheryl and asked with a frightened expression. It was as if she had seen a ghost that was here to take her life!The others looked at the two in confusion. A birthday party was suppose
Perhaps Sheryl had begun to think of Silas, so her eyes appeared sorrowful. She lowered her gaze and said in a low voice, “I didn’t share a special relationship with Silas. If you must put a label on us, then I can only say that we were confidants. We appreciated each other, and we were able to have good conversations.”“You’re lying! You wanted to seduce Silas, so don’t spout such noble-sounding lies that you’re merely confidants! There are no purely platonic relationships between men and women!” Fiona flushed with anger.“Your jealousy is still strong as before, Fiona. And it was your jealousy that drove Silas to his death!” Sheryl’s suppressed anger exploded.Fiona’s pupils shrank violently. She became uncontrollably frightened, and her lips were trembling. “What… What nonsense are you sputtering? You shameless woman. Silas is gone now yet you’re still out to get me?“Guards, drag this nun out of my sight!” Fiona suddenly yelled. “Hold it!” Sharon exclaimed and glared at Fiona
Douglas sat on the main sofa, and Penelope was sitting right next to him.Howard sat at the side while Sally went to change out of her clothes.Simon was sitting alone as Sebastian had been taken into the room by the butler.The people standing were Sharon, Sheryl, and Fiona.“Go ahead, tell me what happened.” Douglas’ eyes were locked on Sheryl.“Dad, don’t listen to her...” Fiona anxiously tried to stop him, but Douglas had made up his mind to listen to the story. He immediately interrupted her, “Shut up.”Fiona stared at Sharon and Sheryl bitterly, scowling. “If the two of you say any nonsense, I’ll never forgive you!”Sharon was not at all afraid of Fiona’s threat and patted on Sheryl’s hand lightly. She whispered, “You may start.”Sheryl exchanged glances with her and eased up her emotions. She said, “Actually… Silas’ car accident was not at all an accident. It was because someone had tampered with his car, causing the brakes to malfunction, hence causing an accident.”
The air in the living room instantly turned somewhat thin, and everyone felt that it was getting difficult to breathe.Sharon was the only one overly thrilled. She had finally exposed Fiona for her crimes!The blood on Fiona’s face had left her. She opened her mouth to reprimand and refute her, but she had suddenly become mute, and nothing was coming out of her mouth!“Do you know what you’re saying, Sharon?” Penelope could not help but scowl at her. She hurriedly went to her father’s side, realizing that their old father was getting too agitated.Douglas waved Penelope away, and there was a bloodthirsty look hidden in his murky eyes. He said again with an icy and rigid voice, “What did you say? Say it one more time!”At this moment, the atmosphere in the Zachary household’s living room was solemn and heavy. It was so stifling and suffocating that everyone found that it was getting harder to breathe easily.Sharon could not comprehend the current situation. Why did they regard he
Simon glanced at his seemingly devastated sister-in-law, and his expression remained cold as well. Ultimately, he was not able to stop Sharon.“You said that Fiona destroyed the report, so where did this report come from?” Simon was the calmest in the room.Sharon’s eyes turned somewhat darker. Was he still doubting her?”“When the previous report was burned, she didn’t know that there was a backup for all reports. I have a friend in the police filing room, and I asked him to help me find this one,” Sharon explained rather simply.“Sharon, do you think you can frame my mom with just a report? Even if my dad’s car was tampered with, you can’t say for sure that my mom did it!” Howard, who had been in school for quite some time, finally regained his senses. He immediately stood by his mother’s side and glared at Sharon.“You’re quite right. I wasn’t aware of this secret at first. If it weren’t because of Silas’s death anniversary and me personally hearing Fiona saying that she had ki
“Fiona!” Penelope shouted in horror. She tried to cover her old father’s eyes to prevent him from witnessing the tragic scene, but it was too late.“Mom!” Howard rushed over to snatch the knife.Seeing the scarlet blood flowing out of her wrist, Howard panicked and yelled out, “Ambulance! Call an ambulance!”Everyone was getting frantic while Sharon was the only one standing still and quietly. She calmly looked at them, and the appearance on her face was so cold and ruthless at the moment.No. She was not the only one. Simon was exceptionally calm as well. His bottomless, obsidian eyes were fixated on her.The woman in front of him suddenly became so unfamiliar. She was unlike the Sharon he knew at all. A faint frustration rose in his heart. Even after so long, he barely knew her at all!Howard lifted Fiona and left in a panic. He carried her all the way into the ambulance.The moment they left, Douglas clenched over his chest, and he fainted suddenly after shaking.“Dad!” Pene
“Was it because Fiona had separated you and Howard? So you chose to retaliate against her in this manner?”Sharon felt a sharp twist in her heart, and she burst with heaps of anger, “I wasn’t retaliating! She did this to herself. Not only did she kill Silas, but she also killed my father!”She merely told everyone what Fiona had done. Was this considered retaliation?If he had asked whether it was revenge for her father, then she would gladly admit it.Simon’s pupils shrank upon hearing this. “What do you mean by she killed your father?”The man’s eyes appeared deep and cold as he stared into her eyes. It was simply making her anxious.Sharon could feel her breathing trembling. After a few moments of silence, she responded and took out the diary left behind by Doctor Collins.“Take a look at this. This is the diary of my dad’s attending physician from back then. It contains Fiona’s threat to change my dad’s prescription, killing my father in the process!”Simon frowned as he to
“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
