Sebastian turned his head and looked at her seriously. “Mommy, Daddy said you’re busy with work and can't go home often. I think he’s lying to me. You’re living separately, right?” He shook his head again. “No. I should say that you’re divorced, right?”Facing her son’s question, Sharon did not know what to say for a while. The little guy already knew what separation and divorce were at a young age.Riley could not watch this anymore. “Shar, just tell him. He’ll know that you and that Zachary b*stard are divorced sooner or later.”After Sharon and Simon got divorced, Simon had become the huge b*stard in Riley's eyes.Sharon could not stop her best friend’s quick mouth. She looked nervously at her son, but it seemed that the little guy was not sad when he heard the news of their divorce. On the other hand, he had an ‘I knew it’ look on his face.“Mommy, you don't need to lie to me. I understand everything. You divorced Daddy because there’s a crack in your relationship.” Otherwise,
There were no customers in the shop, so it was fine for her to step out for a while. Plus, her colleagues were in the shop too.“It’s my treat. There’s a cafe at the corner of the street.”Sharon took a one-hour leave to treat Eugene to a cup of coffee.The two of them found a place to sit in the cafe and ordered some coffee.“I’m sorry for leaving without telling you. Were you worried about me?” Eugene curled his lips and said half-jokingly.“I saw the news, so I knew there was a crisis in your company.” As such, she was able to understand him leaving without saying anything.Eugene lifted his eyebrow and said half-jokingly again, “It seems that you’ve been keeping tabs on me.”Sharon was already used to him speaking this way. She intentionally made a stern face and said, “Could I have chosen not to? My superior went missing all of a sudden and I got fired. Say, why am I the unlucky one when something bad happens to you?”She made it sound as if he was the one who gave her the
Fortunately, Sharon had only promised Riley to try working in the store for two months in the beginning. She was still on probation, so it was not a big problem if she left.Sharon returned to work at Prosper Group, and her colleagues gathered around her.“Oh, Sharon, the big boss personally sent you back just now, right? Tell us, what’s your relationship with our boss?”The others were also very envious and jealous, asking, “Yeah, be honest. Is it possible that the boss is pursuing you?”Otherwise, how was it possible for her to come back so quickly after she got fired?No one would believe her if she said that she did not have any sort of relationship with the boss.“Um… The boss and I just have a superior-subordinate relationship in the company, and outside the company, I think we can be regarded as good friends.” She was telling the truth.“Liar! Although the boss is very approachable, he’s obviously treating you differently. He takes care of you so much, and your relationsh
Sharon breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, he was not gifting this to her, but after thinking about it from another perspective, was this man making a fuss over minor matters like this?“The gown is for you since it suits you. You don’t have to return it to me.” It would be useless even if she gave it back to him anyway as he would not be wearing it and neither did he have another woman whom he could give it to.Sharon waved her hand repeatedly, saying, “I don't want it.” She did not frequently attend parties, so why would she want the gown?“Take it as a reward for being my plus one tonight. If you don't like it, sell it.”What? Sell it? How could he have such an idea?The black Bentley pulled to a stop in front of the five-star hotel. Sharon could see from the car window that many luxury cars were heading in their direction and the parking spaces by the entrance were already full of expensive luxury cars.She could not help but wonder what sort of dinner this was. Why were
It was unknown who Eugene had suddenly recalled in his mind, but his eyes had darkened and there was a thought-provoking glint flashing across his eyes. He curled his lips and smiled superficially, saying, “Everyone says I’m the most eligible bachelor, haven’t you heard?”Sharon stared at him without blinking, wondering how much of what he said was true.She believed that he was an eligible bachelor, but she did not believe that he had never dated anyone before.“Do you have a secret lover who you can’t reveal?” She suddenly became nosy and tried to pry.Eugene's pupils became colder, but his expression was still firm. “Why don't you be my secret lover?” After he said that, he continued with interest, “Ah, no, you’ve been exposed tonight.”“If you don't want to tell me, don't involve me in this.” She did not need to pry about his private matters.She turned around and went to the food and beverage area. She had come here with him without eating dinner, so her stomach was already
She pretended to lean against his embrace intimately and intentionally expressed her dissatisfaction in a coquettish tone, “I’m hungry, so I went to find something to eat.”“It’s my fault. I should’ve fed you before I brought you here. I’m so sorry for making you feel aggrieved, honey.”Sally’s eyes were burning at this scene before her. These two were ignoring her presence and displaying their affections for one another right in front of her.How infuriating!She could not suppress her anger any longer and said to Eugene, “Mr. Newton, do you really like a woman like Sharon? Did you not look into her horrible past?”Judging from her stance, she was dying to tell him about Sharon’s dark past.Eugene curled his lips into a superficial smile, saying, “What does her dark past have to do with me? I only care about her future.”Sally did not expect Eugene to be willing to accept such unpleasant facts, but she still said, “What I want to say is about your future. You probably don't kno
As soon as Simon appeared, the women in the room secretly gasped because this man was just too handsome!At the next moment, the women all turned their envious, admiring, and jealous gazes to Miss Gabriel who was beside him.Summer Gabriel was just as her name described her to be. She had neat ear-length hair and a beautiful face, yet her eyes were filled with a heroic spirit.She was not wearing a gown or a skirt but a very handsome tailored suit for ladies.She also had an overwhelming aura emitting from her body. She was obviously in her 20s, but she had a maturity and coldness that did not match her age.Simon was the only one who could stand next to her and still be as imposing as ever.Sharon was extremely curious about Miss Gabriel just like everyone else. Then, she heard the people next to her whispering in low voices among themselves. “I didn’t expect Miss Gabriel to be a tomboy…” “You have no idea. She has already taken over the Gabriels’ business. Even though she’s y
Sharon came to the corridor of the dining hall and looked at the night view through the French window. She no longer felt as suffocated as she had when she was inside.The phone inside her clutch rang at this moment. She slid the answer button, asking, “What’s wrong, Riley?”“Shar, I heard you’re going to be with Eugene tonight. Will you still be coming home tonight?”“Stop overthinking things, I’m just attending a party with him. I’ll go back slightly later.” She did not fail to detect the nosiness in her best friend’s voice.“Oh, you don’t have to come back in such a hurry. Even if you spend the night with him, I won’t have any opinions. After all, we’re adults.”Riley sounded like a mother who was desperate for her daughter to get married.Sharon curled her lip helplessly. “Right, we’re all adults, so we’re rational enough not to do stupid things. Don't worry and don’t wait up. Sleep early.”When she was about to end the call, Riley raised her voice and yelled, “Hey, I’m seri
“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
