His gaze was scorching hot, making Sharon look away. “I’m going up now.” She got out of the car and walked forward without looking back.She wondered if she was being overly sensitive about Simon’s attitude because she felt Simon’s treatment toward her was different from before.…On this day, Sharon was attending Manager Cook’s funeral.If it were not for him, she would have been the one inside the coffin.The police had closed the case and concluded the driver had been drinking before driving. As such, the driver was the one mainly responsible for the whole thing.Sharon was coming out of the cemetery when it started raining. She took out an umbrella from her bag and opened it. Right then, she received a text on her phone.Her expression changed in a split second after clicking on the message.The text wrote: [You’re lucky that you had a substitute this time around. I’ll not be so sure the next time!]It was a message from an unknown number. Sharon’s hand trembled as she h
Sharon’s heart tightened, and she turned around to go search for her child. Simon did not try to stop her. His eyes turned dark, and he followed from behind. Sharon went over to the place where they had been planting trees. It was not very remote, but very few people would walk past this area. It was surrounded by the woods as well.“Sebastian? Where are you?” Sharon walked into the mud with her umbrella. It was already raining heavily at this time.“Sebastian, you have to respond to Mommy….” Sharon was about to burst into tears out of fear. She was not able to find her son through the dense curtain of rain…She had no one else, and her son was her only support. She would crumble if her son were to go missing!Then, she suddenly slipped and fell into the mud embarrassedly. As the umbrella fell to the side, the cold rainwater splattered all over her. However, she quickly struggled to get back up as she continued yelling for her son, “Sebastian!”Simon, who was not far behind, s
“Why are you here, Simon?” Fiona said with a fake smile. Simon did not reply, and Sebastian proceeded to complain, “Uncle, that old lady hit my mommy last time, and now she’s kidnapping me. She’s certainly not a good person. Please help me call the police.”Simon frowned upon hearing this. Did she hit Sharon before?He suddenly remembered that he had indeed seen a palm print on Sharon’s face once.He narrowed his eyes, and there were hints of cold chills emitting out of them. “Fiona, why must you do this to a child?”Fiona gave out a half smile. “Simon, this is regarding Howard’s personal affairs. There’s no need for your meddling.”They were at a test center. Fiona was clearly about to take a paternity test today to see if the child was Howard’s.“Simon, give me the child.” She insisted on achieving her goal today.Sebastian looked up at the tall man and blinked his eyes. “Uncle, aren’t you calling the cops for me? Then give me your phone, I’ll do it myself.”Simon lowered h
Fiona was utterly confused. How could that kid be Simon’s? Did he really do it with Sharon?Heavens, would Simon start taking responsibility for them and marry Sharon?Fiona clenched her fists in anger. Simon took Sebastian out of the private hospital and called Sharon to tell her that the child had been found. He said he would be taking the kid home and she should head home as well.On the way home, the two sat inside the car. Sebastian shook his calves and gazed at the tall, cold-looking man next to him. He asked, “Uncle, what happened to the old lady?”Simon raised his eyebrow and squinted at him. “I told her that I’m your father, so she’ll never bother you again.”Sebastian sat up straight and asked, “That simple?”The man nodded slightly. “Yeah.”Sebastian found it hard to believe him. “Are you that awesome? Is she afraid of you?”The man looked cold and arrogant as he said without any humility, “Of course. Next time a bad guy catches you, tell them that I’m your father
Sharon could not seem to grasp the meaning behind Simon’s words, but she did not ponder further into it. Then, she looked at the filth on herself and could not help but smile. “I’m going to go wash up. Do give me a moment.”Afterward, she looked at her son again. “Sebastian, help Mommy attend to the guest.”“Sure.” Sebastian immediately went and brought their unfinished game of chess over. “Uncle, should we continue from last time?”“Okay.” Simon stayed to accompany him.Sharon looked at them in a daze. They really did look like father and son.Her heartstrings tensed up, and she did not think further into it. She turned around and went into the bathroom.When Sharon came out after washing up, she heard the little guy exclaiming in excitement, “Checkmate! I won! I finally won this time!”She walked to the hall and saw her son triumphantly dancing while Simon was faintly curling his lips upward. He did not appear discouraged from losing. On the contrary, he had the demeanor of a
Sharon looked at the handsome man in astonishment. Why did he hand this marriage agreement to her?“I don’t quite understand what you mean, President Zachary.” After a long while, she barely managed to utter the words.The man looked inscrutable. “The agreement has stated the terms clearly. I need a wife, and your child needs a dad.”Sharon had briefly read through the agreement earlier. He stated that they would be married, but it would be a secret and she would become his nominal wife.However, she still could not comprehend why he was choosing her?“President Zachary, my kid does need a father, but it doesn’t necessarily have to be you.”“It has to be me,” he replied immediately, sounding somewhat domineering.With a strange look, she gazed at his deep, black eyes and heard him say the words, “Five years ago, Monarch Hotel.”As soon as he said these words, Sharon could feel her heartstrings abruptly tightening up. She stared at him for a moment, and her emotions were fluctua
Perhaps because he noticed the doubts in her eyes, he went on to say, “Sebastian is my son. So do you think I’d let him live outside away from me? Even if I’ll allow it, the Zachary household won’t.”Sharon understood now. If the Zacharies knew that Sebastian was Simon’s son, they would definitely not want the child to stay with her!They would snatch him away and bring the child back to the Zachary household.Her mind was in a mess as she grabbed his hand in a hurry. “You cannot take my son away from me!”Simon raised his eyebrows slightly, and there was a slight curl on his thin lips. “Hence the reason why I’m offering you a marriage.”Sharon was solemnly silent. She understood well that if the Zacharies were to take her kid away, her meager power would not be able to stop them.Did that not mean she had no other options but to sign this agreement?She suddenly thought about her son who had always wanted to find his father. Plus, he had been teased at school for not having one
After looking at the photos, Dr. Collins frowned and said, “The person is quite familiar. Do give me a moment to recall…” As there was no front photo of the guy, it was hard for Dr. Collins to remember the person.“It’s fine. Do take your time.” Sharon was anxious, but it would be inappropriate to urge him.“Ah, I remember now. This man looks somewhat similar to Dr. Wayne John. He’s in the surgery department.”“Wayne John? Are you certain?” Sharon’s eyes flashed with a bright light.“Well, it does look like him. Try to head to the surgery department and ask around.”“Thank you, Dr. Collins.” Sharon wanted to see this Wayne John guy right away.“You’re welcome. I felt extremely guilty for not being able to save your father back then.”When Sharon noticed that he hesitated to speak further, she was suspicious once more. “Dr. Collins, perhaps there’s something more you didn’t tell me about my father’s death back then?”Dr. Collins’ expression changed, and he quickly replied, “It’s
“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
