As soon as his words fell, he directed his gaze at Sharon who was standing behind Eugene. His already stern expression became even more solemn.It was as if Eugene realized something was amiss and proceeded to say, “You should step out for a moment, Shar.”Sharon was dying to know what Chairman Newton’s instructions were, but she knew she was unsuited to be here. When she was about to leave, Mr. Holt abruptly stopped her and said, “Are you Miss Jean, the architect?”Since he was questioning her, she had no other options but to halt. “Yes, that’s me. Hello.”“Since you’re the person involved, stay and listen to Chairman Newton’s instructions,” said Mr. Holt.“Oh… Okay.”Eugene had a bad premonition in his heart. He was well aware of his grandpa’s temper, so he was afraid Sharon would be in heaps of trouble this time.“Chairman Newton has asked me to tell the fourth young master that since Miss Jean was the one who caused this matter, then she should be the one to publicly apologi
Sharon had stood around and waited for Eugene for two days, and she was ultimately able to obstruct his path in the company’s underground parking lot.She widened her arms and stopped right in front of his car. If he did not explain things clearly to her, she would not budge from the spot.Eugene got out of the car and looked at her coldly, asking, “What do you want?”Sharon looked at the person in front of her, and his appearance had not changed one bit. He still had the same poise and was the same elegant gentleman, but his attitude toward her had obviously changed.She could feel a sense of alienation and coldness from him as if he did not want to lay his eyes on her at all.Seeing him being so distanced from her, she simply could not understand why he had changed overnight?Was this his grandfather’s instruction as well?“Why? Why did you publicly apologize in my stead?” In her opinion, when an accident occurred, the company should be sorry to the worker who died. Even if th
However, Penelope has been keeping a close watch on him recently, preventing him from meeting up with Sharon.Penelope was furious upon seeing the reports of him publicly admitting that Sharon was his fiancée. She immediately approached him and confronted him face to face. Simon still had the same old answer for Penelope. He told her he had set his mind on Sharon, and it almost caused her to faint from anger. He did not want to provoke his sister any further and thought of taking it slow so that Penelope would get used to the idea of accepting Sharon.Hence, other than being at work, he rarely went out of his way to look for Sharon.Even though that was the case, Penelope still took the liberty to approach Sharon first.At this time, Sharon and Riley were enjoying their cups of coffee while chatting in a cafe. However, Penelope suddenly appeared out of nowhere.Smack!Penelope landed a firm slap across her face as soon as she came in even though it was a public place!There
Sharon had been through so much to be able to live with her son again, so how could she tolerate Penelope disallowing her from seeing her own son?She could barely endure it when Penelope slapped her earlier, but she would not sit still and watch as Penelope took her son away!Sharon’s expression turned cold, and her eyes were filled with sullenness. “Sebastian is my son, Penelope. You have no right to separate us!”“She’s right. You’re not the kid’s parent, so what right do you have to stop letting the child see his own mother?” Riley thought that Penelope was overstepping her boundaries.Penelope’s expression looked stiff, and her eyes were cold and stern when she retorted, “The child belongs to Simon, and I brought Simon up with my own two hands. I surely have the right to deal with matters regarding his son.”She was implying that Simon was not only her younger brother, but she was also the one who raised him and she regarded him as her own son.Hence, she had the right to in
However, she had raised this brother of hers with her own two hands. How could she stand handing him over to another woman like this?Simon did not want to provoke his sister further. After all, their mother had died relatively early in life, and his sister was the one who took care of him. As such, he had to give her credit for that.He turned around to look at Sharon behind him and whispered, “Let’s go. I’ll take you to the doctor.” He did not forget about her red and swollen face.He held Sharon’s hand, and she abruptly realized that this was a public setting. She wanted to shove him off, but he held her firmly, not allowing her to break free.The two looked at each other, and she saw the determination in his eyes. It was as if as long as he was there, nothing could go wrong.As if she had been possessed by something, she went along and followed him, letting him lead the way.Penelope was initially planning to stop them, but seeing that Simon’s thoughts were all focused on Sha
When Simon heard her question, his beautiful brows furrowed deeply once more. He pinched her chin and lifted it so that she would be gazing at him.“When did your comprehension skill become this bad? I was asking you to come back to me, not come back to work for me.”Seeing that he was somewhat anxious and annoyed, Sharon felt rather amused by it. Of course, she understood what he meant earlier, but it was better for her to clarify some things.She raised her eyebrows and deliberately responded, “Oh? So you don’t want me to return to your company? See, I told you. I knew that there isn’t one company that’d dare to hire me. They’ll be afraid that something’s wrong with my design. If it kills another person, then that’ll be the end of them.”Simon narrowed his dark eyes. “So, what you’re saying is, you don’t just want to get back together with me but you’d like to come back to the company as well? When did you get so greedy?” His thin lips curled slightly after he was done speaking.
Sharon was wondering why on earth did he bring her here? Then, he got out of the car and stretched his arm out to her. “Come out.”She placed her hand on his palm and got out of the car. That was when she saw a yacht docked by the shore. She wondered if he was planning to take her out to sea?He held onto her hand tightly and walked toward the yacht.“President Zachary,” greeted his subordinates. They were already by the bank, waiting for his arrival.Without uttering another word, he took her straight onto the yacht.“Are we going out to sea?” Sharon could not help but ask.“Yes,” he answered while nodding, no longer being so mysterious about it.Once the two got on the yacht, the captain sailed the vessel out of the dock and headed toward the seas upon receiving Simon’s instruction.They were just in time to watch the sunset. The reddish sun hung like a disc on sea level, and the orange-red sunlight cast a reddish glow on everyone’s faces.It had been a while since she witne
Sharon initially thought that Simon was going to hold a banquet on the yacht. Otherwise, why would he ask them to help her put on an evening dress and even doll her up as well?Once she was ready, the servants brought her out again. She smelled great after the bath, so even her spirits were lifted.Sharon was taken to the open-air restaurant on the yacht. The sun had set into the west, and a faint sea breeze was blowing in the air. There was even a bright crescent moon in the sky with a few twinkling stars around.Before she had time to revel in the beautiful scenery, she was attracted by the man standing not far ahead.Simon had changed into a more formal suit. His navy blue suit matched her dark blue dress, and his diamond cuff links were sparkling out aristocratic rays of light.At this moment, he looked even taller and more handsome in the dim light, not to mention enchantingly grandeur.She was stunned by his appearance for quite some time.The female servant nudged her, sa
“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
