She was not in the mood to bicker about nonsensical things with him and turned around to leave. However, at that moment she thought of something else and added, “Oh, right. But if you do find her, don’t forget to notify me.”As she was leaving, Howard forcefully grabbed her and sullenly stared at her while saying, “Don’t be so full of yourself. My uncle won’t help you. You’re just his little plaything. Do you really think that he’s not going to marry Summer?”Sharon was not planning on paying any heed to his words. Even so, the way he said this made it seem as if he knew something she did not.Since he worked alongside Simon, perhaps he had heard rumors or whatnot.“What do you mean?” She was looking at him with a cold stern.Howard sneered. “You should know by now what kind of a person my uncle is. Do you truly think that he could easily forgive someone who killed his father?”The look in Sharon’s eyes sank as she pressed her lips together, waiting for him to continue.“I’ll le
After Simon changed his clothes and stepped out, he saw Summer holding his mobile phone. “There was a call just now which I answered for you, but the other party hung up without a word.” Summer looked indifferent as she passed him the phone. Simon checked the call log and saw that it was Sharon. His eyes darkened a little. With a swipe of his long fingers, he returned the call. Sharon was still immersed in her thoughts when the mobile phone she was holding in her hand vibrated suddenly, alerting her. The caller ID displayed Simon’s name. She took a deep breath before answering the call, “Hello.” “Did you call me just now?” It was that man’s deep and wonderful voice. Sharon instantly dispelled those inappropriate thoughts and reverted back to her usual tone, “Yeah, were you not around just now? Did the secretary answer the call for you?” When she asked this, she instantly became nervous. “Yeah, I was away for a moment just now. A friend answered the phone.” Simon stood i
Sharon took her son with Celia and her parents to the venue they had decided on, a five-star hotel. The second floor of the hotel was a restaurant, and the head chef came from France. The waiter took them to the reserved table and the two families sat down. The two children insisted on sitting together. Celia’s mother looked at Sebastian and remembered seeing Simon the other day when she picked up her daughter. This child looked just like Simon and must be a handsome young man when he grew up. “Mrs. Zachary, Sebastian is really good at taking care of others. Celia is very happy being friends with him,” Celia’s mother said. “Boys should take care of girls.” Besides, Sebastian grew up with her, so he had always been considerate as a child. “There are too few of such good boys now. If you don’t mind, I hope they can grow up together, just like childhood sweethearts. In the future, they can attend elementary and middle schools together. It’d be even better if they could attend
Sharon stared at the gossip page only to feel that something exploded in her mind. It was Simon and Summer. They were caught on camera while spending the night at the hotel. There were also several secretly taken intimate photos of them in the article. It was said that they had only left the hotel this morning and they kissed passionately several times in the car. The photos taken are very blurry, but it could be recognized that it was the two of them, especially the photos of them kissing in the car. It was obvious that they were indeed hugging each other, and the heads of the two people close together in a kissing posture. “Sharon, why do you look so terrible? Are you feeling unwell?” The colleague next to her found her face pale and could not help but ask with concern. She recovered her senses, reluctantly curved her lips, and said, “I didn't rest very well last night.” She immediately turned around and returned to her workstation, not wanting to look at the report again.
Sharon was ridiculously drunk and terrified of being deceived. She felt that everyone around her wanted to deceive her and was full of lies. “Shar, what nonsense are you talking about? If I really have anything to do with Summer, do you think I’ll be here drinking with you right now?” “But what you said is right. Our last name is Gabriel, but she is a rich young lady while I’m an orphan who grew up in an orphanage. It’s the difference between heaven and earth. I really drew the short end of the straw!” Thinking of her own life experience, Riley felt the anguish surging in her heart, and she could not help taking a few glasses of wine too. Riley Gabriel, who said she wanted to stay sober, also got drunk. Sharon felt a little dizzy and directly sprawled on the bar counter. The phone next to her vibrated and the screen lit up. The caller was Simon Zachary. It was so noisy in the bar that she did not notice she had a call. When the phone rang for the third time, Riley realize
In the car, Sharon kept hitting the window, clamoring to get out of the car, yelling about wanting to drink and dance. Simon really had a headache. How much alcohol did this crazy woman drink? He grabbed the woman back again and held her in his arms. “Have you had enough?” The man's eyebrows furrowed. It was the first time he saw her drunk and it was really kind of bad.“Who are you? Let go of me. Let go…” The woman tried hard to push him away and kept struggling in his arms. He cupped her chin and glared at her sullenly. “Don’t you recognize me?” There was a strong scent of alcohol on her body. “Why do I care who you are? I still want to dance. Don’t stop me!” She started shoving the man’s hands away again. Simon’s eyes faintly flickered with fire. She still wanted to dance? And be surrounded by a group of men like wolves like just now? A large palm clasped her jaw, lowered his head, and bit her lips fiercely. “Now do you know who I am?” “Ah… it hurts!” It hurt so muc
Her long finger wiped away the tear from the corner of her eyes. Why did she still feel sad?Sharon’s biological clock was always precise. Even though she was very drunk last night, she would still wake up on time.She wanted to go to work, but when she sat up, her head was about to split open. What happened?Oh, she remembered. She went to drink with her best friend Riley last night and she drank quite a lot. She was completely drunk, and she did not remember what happened after.She caused herself to be so pitiful and she started to regret letting herself go. It was not worth it to destroy her body for a man who cheated on her.She was about to get out of bed and suddenly, she noticed that she was wearing a silk nightdress. It was not the usual cotton pajamas she wore to sleep usually.Finally, she realized she was in Simon’s apartment and not Riley’s place!She was completely stunned. How did she wake up in Simon’s apartment? Plus, it was obvious that someone changed her clot
Simon ended the call quickly. He looked at Sharon who was still angry with a solemn look on his face. He said in a deep voice, “I need to take care of some urgent matters now. I asked someone to send breakfast over. You can leave after you eat.”After he said that, he turned around to leave. It sure looked like it was very urgent.However, when he got to the door, he suddenly remembered something. He stopped walking and turned around to look straight at her. He said seriously, “Sharon, you have to trust me.”He did not say too much. After that, he left without turning back.Sharon moved her lips. She wanted to call him to come back to clear things up. What did he mean by trusting him?However, the man’s figure disappeared quickly. She could not ask him at all.After a short while, she heard the door outside closing. He really left…Suddenly, she felt as if all of her energy had been stripped away. She fell on the bed lifelessly. What was so urgent that he had to leave before fin
“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
