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
After making a wish, she lowered her head to blow out the candles.“Happy birthday!” The man’s voice rang beside her ear.She turned to the side to look at him. Under the candlelight, the man’s eyebrows appeared clean and straight while his dark-colored eyes looked immensely profound. She tiptoed and took the initiative to kiss his lips, saying, “Thank you for preparing all of this for me.”They looked at each other, and the man’s eyes turned scorching hot. His voice was low when he replied, “A mere word of thanks isn’t enough.”The next moment, he grabbed onto her waist and pressed her into his embrace, lowering his head to land a kiss on her.Sharon took a deep breath, and her heart started beating somewhat confusedly. She did not try to push him away this time as his gesture had utterly moved her.When his lips moved away from hers, he pressed their foreheads together. They were close enough to hear each other’s breathing.Sharon still had her eyes closed shut, and the corner
Sharon was overwhelmed by his sudden marriage proposal. Was he not just celebrating her birthday with her?Why did it become a marriage proposal?She found it hard to calm down, so she merely stared at him, not knowing what to do.Simon’s dark eyes looked at her deeply and he asked, “Are you unwilling to marry me?”“No, that’s not it… Please get up.”It was not that she was unwilling. On the contrary, she had nearly immediately agreed to it without much thought, but soon, she quickly snapped back to reality.Could they even genuinely get married?“Then I’ll assume that you said yes.” The man stood up, took her hand, and put the diamond ring on her finger without saying anything else.“Hey, you…” She did not have the chance to refuse when he put the diamond ring that was the size of a dove’s egg on her ring finger.“You’re not allowed to take it off,” he said domineeringly.Sharon pursed her lips and said, “I didn’t even agree to it yet…”“I gave you a chance earlier,” the ma
Simon raised his eyebrows at her request and said, “Sure, I can give you the reward first.”He proceeded to make a call and told the person on the other line to commence the job.Sharon was filled with curiosity. Then, after a short while, there were fireworks being set off above the sea’s surface not far away!The splendidly bright fireworks started blooming near the sea, and the beauty of this scene reached a pinnacle. The sight brought nothing but delight to the audience.Then, the fireworks even formed the words ‘Happy Birthday’ in the sky, revealing yet another surprise that he had planned for her birthday!“How is it? Isn’t it beautiful?” The man embraced her while they admired the fireworks by the sea.“It’s gorgeous…” She could not help but gasp in admiration.The man lowered his head to her ear and whispered, “Then shouldn’t you be saying something to me?”Sharon turned her gaze over to meet his eyes, and the light from the blooming fireworks was reflected in them. It
Simon appeared relatively calm when faced with these reporters who seemingly popped up out of nowhere.For someone who had never accepted any interviews before, he went as far as to answer some of the reporters’ questions this time.“Yes. We went out to sea to celebrate Sharon’s birthday last night, and she has accepted my proposal,” Simon said while circling his long arms around Sharon’s waist. It seemed like they were very in love with each other.Sharon looked at him in a puzzled manner. Why was he saying these things to the reporters?Was this not equal to announcing to the world that they would be getting married soon?Sure enough, the reporters immediately asked excitedly, “So does that mean your wedding is under preparation? May we know when the date will be?”“You will be notified when the time comes,” Simon said with a low voice.Sharon was startled by this. She had agreed to his marriage proposal, but she never agreed to get married so soon!The reporters started cong
“Simon, are… Are you talking to me?” She stared at him in a daze. Her ears were still buzzing, but she could not hear a word he said.Simon looked down at the frightened woman in his arms, his heart violently twisting. The bullet had only missed her by the slightest bit. It could have gone through her head and killed her on the spot!It would be impossible for her not to be afraid after experiencing something like this. He felt utterly petrified just thinking about it right now.F*ck! Who would dare to attack his woman like this?As soon as he laid his hands on that b*stard, they would not live to see the light of day!He hugged her petite body tightly and comforted her, saying, “Don’t be afraid anymore. You’re alright.”Sharon could still see his lips moving, and she knew that he was still talking to her. However... she still could not hear him!She abruptly pushed him away, leaving his embrace. Then, she stared at him without blinking. She was feeling extremely nervous and flu
“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
