“Did he mean that?”Did he want to hire a lawyer to dismiss her?The lawyer nodded. “Yes, you can just sign after reading the agreement.”Sharon felt her heart tightening. They got married so hastily and he never attached any importance to it. Now that they were getting a divorce, he was even more perfunctory.After thinking about this clearly, they should not have gotten married back then and said it was for the child.If this was really for the good of the child, then why did he ask for a divorce now?One could not believe anything a man said after all.She did not want to look at it initially, but she wanted to know who was going to get the custody of their son in the agreement.Thankfully, she was mentally prepared. However, when she saw in the agreement that he would get the custody of their son and their son would belong to the Zacharys while she would only be given a visitation right of twice a month, she felt the fire of rage in her heart.“If you agreed and signed the
Sharon was startled and looked at the manager incredulously. “Did you just say that… I’m fired?”It was true that she did not come to work for some time, but she took a leave of absence. Also, she did not come to work because she was injured in a car accident. Eugene was the one who approved the leave.They could not consider this as absenteeism and fire her.“Why? What did I do wrong?”“I just received the notice from the superior. Don't you know what you have done?” The manager said impatiently.Sharon became more confused as she listened. Which superior fired her? Did she offend anyone?“Can you be more clear on this? I really don't know.”The manager probably saw that she was working pretty hard and was injured on the job last time, so she calmed down and said, “It's a notice from the president’s office. I'm only responsible for execution.”Sharon was astonished. “Eugene… President Eugene?”Eugene fired her? Impossible. Not possible at all!He offered her to work here so
When he was about to hang up, the woman said in a panic, “Wait, I have something to say!”“Tell me then!”Although they were on the phone, when the woman heard that man’s deep and cold voice, she was able to imagine how cold the man’s face was. She even felt a hint of the man’s threatening oppression.She took a deep breath, and after she recomposed herself, she said, “I want to see you.”“I’m busy.” He did not even think before rejecting her.She was worried that he would hang up the phone again, so she said quickly, “Didn’t you want to divorce me? If you come meet me, I’ll sign the papers.”The man did not say anything. The two of them were silent, and she could hear the man’s light breathing over the phone.The silence undoubtedly tightened her heartstrings. Would he still reject her?The man finally said, “I’ll ask my assistant to arrange a time.” After he said that, he hung up the phone directly.Sharon was not left with a chance to say another word. She stared at her pho
“I’m firing you for your own good. Eugene is a cold-blooded animal who’s never gentle to women. You should leave him as soon as possible so that you can save your own life.” Jim looked as if he was doing this for her own good.Sharon was suspecting whether the Eugene she knew was the same person this President Jim was talking about.A cold-blooded animal? It was difficult for her to believe that Eugene, an elegant gentleman, would be a cold-blooded person.Jim must be deliberately bad-mouthing Eugene to kick her out.“This is all the advice I’ll be giving you. Hurry up and leave.” Jim turned around and walked into the elevator.His arrogant assistant also waved his hand at her. “Go now.”“You…” She watched the doors of the elevator close and the insufferably arrogant Jim disappear behind them. She was furious. How could this guy be Eugene’s brother?She looked at her things that were scattered all over the floor and felt troubled.This was the first time she was fired for such
Simon narrowed his eyes slightly as if he had heard a funny joke. He scoffed and said, “Even if I had the power to do that, I wouldn’t contact the Newtons.”Right, he and Eugene were always in a state of mutual hostility every time they saw each other, so how would it be possible that he had contacted the other Newtons in private?If that was the case, he was admitting that there was a trade war going on between him and Eugene.“Why are you making things hard for Eugene? If it’s because of him offering me help—”“You think too highly of yourself. What does a woman like you have anything to do with the trade war?”Before she could finish, he interrupted her coldly. His eyes were filled with ridicule.Sharon was feeling a little uneasy. It was unsurprising she would think that he was angry because Eugene helped her, so he was now deliberately making things difficult for the Newtons. If it were not for Eugene, she would not have been able to get evidence against Fiona and she would
Simon and Sharon looked at each other, one standing while the other was sitting. They were not far from each other but it felt a little stifling.The man stared at her for a long time, his eyes darkening unconsciously.From the eyes of others, the silent duo seemed to be confronting each other or even testing each other to see if they could really break up in such a cruel manner.After a while, the man made a move. He grabbed the pen that was thrown to her just now and signed his name on the divorce papers.Sharon looked at him in shock. Did he just sign them?Simon signed his name and pushed the divorce papers to her. “Your turn.”She stared at the man's powerful strokes in disbelief. He did not hesitate and she did not see any reluctance in him. He was so straightforward, and it seemed that he wanted to get rid of this marriage immediately so that he could get rid of her.She felt as if something was clutching at her heart. She felt that it was getting difficult to breathe.H
Simon was not in a hurry to leave. He looked at the woman’s frail back and watched her walk away without saying anything. He tightened his grip and snapped the cigarette that he was fiddling between his fingers just now.…At night, Sharon, who was now unemployed, was searching for new companies online so she could submit her resume.Sharon could not get in contact with Eugene at the moment. She had been following the news closely and the news report said that the stocks for Newton Corporation were stable but it was still uncertain if they had solved the crisis.There was not much news about the Newtons after that, so she did not know what the situation was like for Eugene currently.Since she could not contact him, it meant that he was still taking care of the crisis. Thus, it would be best if she did not disturb him.She could not depend on him anymore, so she needed to find a new job as soon as possible. If not, what would she use to fight Simon for Sebastian’s custody?Riley
Sharon quickly got used to the job here. In fact, this job was not too tiring. She was responsible for the storage and placement of wedding dresses in the shop, which she did every day.Usually, the customers who came here would prefer a designer who specialized in custom-made wedding dresses. She only needed to introduce them while noting down the customers’ requirements on one side.There were not many employees in the store. There were only four people including her. The others were old employees, but they were all around the same age, so they were easy to get along with.As usual, not many customers came to their shop today so everyone had a bit of free time.“Hey, come and read this news article. The man in the photo is President Zachary!”“Where? Let me see…”Sharon was fixing the dress on the mannequin when she suddenly heard the colleague next to her getting excited while looking at their phone.When she heard Simon's name, she paused. Something flashed in her eyes, but
“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
