Simon’s complexion changed again and again, and something flashed across his eyes momentarily. His expression grew colder by the second, and it exuded a sense of unshakeable resoluteness. “Dad’s gone, Penelope. Let’s not keep bringing him up. I’ll bear all the consequences here on out.”“What!” Penelope was so enraged that she pointed toward Sharon and scoffed coldly, “Did this woman cast some sort of spell on you?” If that were the case, she would never let Sharon get away with this!Truth be told, Sharon was flabbergasted as well. When her son said that Simon had no plans to marry Summer, she refused to believe it herself. Even if he and Summer had no feelings for each other, a business marriage was not something to be trifled with. It was not something he could turn his back on, and was directly related to both family group’s future benefits.Now that Simon had revealed his decision in front of Penelope, it was hard for Penelope to stay calm.“Get out of my sight! If you come
Feeling that the man’s lips were about to press down onto hers, Sharon subconsciously raised her hand to cover her mouth. Hence, the man’s kiss landed on the palm of her hand instead.Simon’s pupils darkened slightly. He still proceeded to kiss her palm before sitting back up on his side. Then, he frowned and said in a little displeased tone, “So, you’re still rejecting me, huh?”There was a flicker in Sharon’s eyes. Her hand was still covering her lips. “You haven’t answered me yet.”The man stared at her without blinking. The depth of his expression would make one feel an inexplicable chill run down their spine.However, the next second later, he curled his lips into a smile. “Do you want me to repeat what I said in front of Penelope earlier? Or would you like me to personally say to you that I will not marry another woman?”What she truly wanted was for him to reveal his true intentions.“But you and Miss Gabriel are engaged. You can’t just go back on the agreed marriage, righ
“A wedding? What wedding?” Sharon looked at him in bewilderment. She honestly wondered if the nerves in his brain had gone haywire.Howard’s eyes lit up, and it was as if he had gone mad. “If you promise to get back together with me, Shar, I’ll hold a wedding with you right away. A grand wedding, or whatever wedding you have in mind, I promise to give it to you.”“Who on earth told you that I want to marry you?” Sharon was utterly baffled. Then, she added, “Moreover, will Sally agree to you having another wedding?”“I’ve divorced her, so there’s no need to worry about that. You can become my bride with complete peace of mind.”Sharon was surprised that he had divorced Sally! Were his actions not a little too rash?Also… Did Sally even agree to divorce him so easily? “What do you think, Shar? Shall we get back together?” Howard reached out to hug her.Sharon immediately snapped back to reality and slapped his hands away. She stared at him defensively and refused coldly, “No way!
Before Sharon was able to react, the so-called Miss Thompson had pounced onto her and grabbed her hands tightly. With a pair of red and swollen eyes, she said in an extraordinarily anxious and pitiful manner, “Miss, you should know where Eugene is right now, right? Can you please let me see him? Our child is sick, and I need to see him….”“Miss Thompson!” Wyatt was flustered. He hurriedly went over and pulled Fern Thompson away before apologizing to Sharon, “My apologies, Miss Jean. We’ve startled you. I’ll be taking her away now.”Wyatt barely gave Sharon a chance to reply before he forcibly dragged the woman away.“Hey, wait a….” However, it was too late for Sharon to stop them. In the blink of an eye, Wyatt shoved the woman into a car and drove off.Sharon wondered if she had misheard her. Did Miss Thompson say “our child” earlier? Was she implying that she had a child with Eugene?How was that possible? As far as she knew, Eugene was not dating anyone. She had even wondered
Sharon assumed that he was not speaking because he was sick and feeling uncomfortable. Thus, she shrugged and said, “Fine, whatever. Men are always unreliable at critical moments.Simon’s eyes started twitching upon hearing this…She sat next to him and reached out to test the temperature of his forehead. “You’re not burning up. Has the fever subsided?”“Cough cough…” The man started coughing suddenly.“Have you taken your medications? What did the doctor say? How’s the wound? Did you change the bandages?”She became nervous as soon as he started coughing and hurriedly tried to check on his injury.He carefully rolled up his sleeves and showed that the bandage on his arm had been changed.“It’s slightly inflamed and infected. Xavier already came over and looked at it earlier.” When Simon noticed how nervous she looked, his thin lip started to curve upward imperceptibly.Sharon heaved a sigh of relief. “That’s good, then. Have you taken your medications?”“I took them a few hou
Perhaps because of his illness, but the man was very obedient tonight.After Sharon gave him his medicine, he laid back down after she asked him to.The strange part was that even though the temperature taken by the thermometer was very high, his forehead felt relatively normal when she touched it with her hand.Still, since he had taken his medications earlier, Sharon felt that it was possible that it would drop back down later on.Therefore, Sharon returned to the kitchen to continue cooking for him. She rummaged through the cabinets and found that there were not many ingredients left. Thankfully, she could still cook up a bowl of chicken noodle soup for him. A quick bowl of soup was prepared rather quickly. Then, she carefully brought it over to him. “You have something to eat now. But it’s hot, so be careful.”Simon was lying on the sofa while holding a tablet in his hand. He was working on something but stopped when he saw her walking over. He looked at the hot bowl of so
“Ack… Why, why aren’t you wearing any clothes?”Who would have thought that when she opened the door, the first thing she would see would be the man standing beside the tub?Simon shrugged innocently. “If I had clothes, then I wouldn’t have troubled you into bringing them in.”“That, that wasn’t what I was asking you….” She had now turned her face to the side and was no longer looking at him.“Put it on right now, so you don’t catch a cold.” She threw the clothes over to him and nimbly escaped.She was still somewhat breathless after running out of the bathroom and started fanning her face with her hand. Her cheeks were getting growing hotter by the second.By the time the man had come out in his pajamas, Sharon had decided to leave his house.“I think your body temperature has returned to normal now. And it’s getting late, so I’m heading back,” She said as she picked up her bag and turned to leave.The man’s eyes darkened slightly. He noticed that her cheeks looked a little ro
Sharon merely froze for a moment, but she soon regained her senses. She subconsciously tried to push him away and distance herself from his body while simultaneously withdrawing her leg.Nonetheless, as soon as she moved, the man wrapped his hands around her. A slightly dangerous, low-pitched masculine voice was heard from above her head, “Don’t move.”Her cheeks flushed almost immediately. “Sh—shameless!” It was so early in the morning. Could he not do something like this?Simon squinted, feeling somewhat innocent. He was rather amused seeing her blushing with hints of anger.“Let me go.” Not only were her cheeks a little hot, her body started heating up as well.He lifted her chin and teased her with a smile, “Why’s your face so red?”Stop asking the obvious!She ignored his warning and forcefully pushed him away. Then, she sat up and distanced herself from him. “You seem to be in perfectly good spirits now, and even your temperature is back to normal. I don’t think you need a
“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
