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
Sharon took a deep breath and finally muttered, “He… is someone you already know. It’s Uncle Simon.”Sebastian was startled. “You mean to say that the haughty uncle is my father? Are you joking with me, Mommy?”Sharon put on a stern look on her face. “This is not a joke.” She watched the little guy’s change in expression nervously. Would he be able to accept this?“It’s no wonder everyone says we look alike. So he’s actually my dad!”“Then, do you accept him as your dad?” Sharon asked tentatively.“Of course, I’ll accept it if he’s my father. Mommy, that haughty uncle is quite a rich man. He should be able to support us.”Sharon’s mouth twitched when she heard this. What on earth was going on in that head of his?Before they were done with their conversation, Sharon’s phone rang. It was Simon telling her that he was now downstairs. He asked them to head down.She hung up the phone, and the little guy pulled her hand excitedly. “Let’s go down, Mommy.”Sharon was still unbudging
Sharon felt her temples aching. Was it not a fake marriage anyway? He did not have to be so serious about this, right?As the sun started to set, the Maybach finally arrived at the Zachary family’s mansion.The car stopped in front of the enormous fountain, and through the car window, Sharon saw that servants were waiting.Sharon still felt nervous about this, after all.Simon and their son had gotten out of the car. The big guy and his mini-me were waiting for her outside.She had to cheer for herself before biting the bullet and getting out of the car. Then, she suddenly thought of something else. “Oh wait. Don’t you think it’s inappropriate that we came empty-handed?” She now remembered that she should have brought some gifts.“It’s enough that you brought a son.” Simon said as though he had read her thoughts.“Let’s head in,” he turned his head and said to the little guy.Sharon looked at the man’s cold-looking back and stuck her tongue out slightly before following him.T
In the study, Simon showed his father his and Sebastian’s paternity test report. He briefly talked about what had happened five years ago.When the two came out of the study, Sharon noticed that Douglas still had a somewhat solemn expression on his face, but he was no longer as rude as before.Douglas sat back on the main sofa again and looked at the little guy. He waved toward him, saying, “Come over here, you little brat.”“I’m not a brat.” Sebastian refused to budge.Douglas looked at him scrutinizingly. Since he was his grandson, he could only patiently say, “So, your name is Sebastian? Come to Grandpa.”“You’re not my grandpa.” The little guy was holding a bit of a grudge.Douglas’ complexion did not look very good. After all, no one had dared to refuse him in such a manner before this.Sharon stepped forward to make peace. “Director Zachary, perhaps you should just tell him whatever you have to say from there.”Simon looked at her abruptly and said, “Sharon, you should be
Fiona had a tough time arguing her case and said anxiously, “Dad, I didn’t kidnap him to experiment on him. I… I merely wanted to do a paternity test on him and Howard.”She paused and glared at Sharon coldly. Then, she gritted her teeth and said, “Who would’ve thought that the kid is Simon’s? Who knows what kind of methods she used for that to happen?!”“I don’t care what you say. You kidnapped me, and I’ll call the cops right now!” Sebastian took Mommy’s phone to call the police.“I already told you that I didn’t kidnap you! You little bra—” Fiona wanted to grab the phone, but now that Douglas knew this kid was his grandson, he shielded the child. She dared not act rashly anymore.She looked at Simon anxiously and said, “Simon, aren’t you going to stop him? Are you letting your innocent sister-in-law be dragged to the station?”Simon turned his gaze toward the little guy before saying calmly, “Fiona, you did kidnap him, and you did hit Sharon. The kid likes to hold grudges, so w
“Dad, are you allowing Simon to marry a woman like this?” She shifted her gaze toward Douglas.Douglas glanced at Sharon indifferently. He could not bring himself to accept this daughter-in-law, but she was the kid’s mother. If he refused to accept her, would he have to let his grandson live outside?Douglas made no further statement, so his silence seemed to be tacit approval. Fiona was out of her wits and angrily said to Simon, “Fine. Alright… Just you wait and see. She’ll cheat on you one day too, and you’ll finally be sorry!”Sharon could not hold it in any longer when she heard this. Especially after learning from Sally that during her wedding with Howard, Fiona had allowed the nude photos to be released. Fiona was the person who ruined her reputation!Now, she still had the nerve to slander her!“Madam Lionel, please take back what you’ve just said. I’ve always been innocent and have never betrayed Howard.” Sharon looked at Fiona coldly.Fiona sneered, “No? You actually h
Sebastian was utterly stuffed. He patted his swollen belly. “Mommy, do you think my belly looks like a watermelon?”Sharon also patted his stomach, feeling amused. “Who told you to eat that much?”“The food is so delicious, I just couldn’t help it.” The little guy rubbed on his belly. If he was not stuffed to the brim, he would probably eat more.“Mommy, the food at Dad’s is just too good.” The little guy could not help but sigh.“Then, when you live here next time, you can eat a lot of delicious food every day,” said Simon abruptly.“That’s right. Just stay here, and I’ll ask the maid to prepare a room for you.” Douglas immediately ordered the butler to make arrangements.Sebastian looked at Mommy, asking for approval, “Are we staying here?”“Well…” Sharon glanced at Douglas, then at Simon. They were only planning to let the little guy stay here, right?Simon was the child’s father, after all. As such, she needed to give them some time to get along.“If you want to stay here,
“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
