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
Simon had arranged for Sharon to stay in a single bedroom ward inside the hospital. They had not expected Penelope to show up.Penelope walked in with a stern look on her face and anxiously checked on Simon, scanning him from his head to his toes.“Were you attacked?” Seeing that he was alright and uninjured, just as reported by the media, she secretly breathed a sigh of relief. However, her face still appeared sullen.“You managed to get the news so quickly, Penelope?”“Hmph. Didn’t you read the news? They’re all filled with reports about your attack. How could I not have found out?” Penelope snorted fumingly.“I’m sorry for worrying you, but I’m not hurt. Shar, on the other hand, suffered a slight injury,” said Simon.Penelope looked at Sharon who was lying on the bed. She felt that she was oddly quiet today, motionlessly sitting while merely staring at them.She could not see Sharon’s injury at first glance, so she mockingly said in a rather unpleasant tone, “You were the tar
Seeing that Sharon’s ear was bandaged on one side, it seemed like Simon was really not lying to her. Sharon’s ear was truly injured.It was of no use to talk to someone who could not hear, so Penelope turned back to Simon and asked, “Do you know who hired the killer?”She knew that the Zacharies had many enemies, but she could not think of anyone who dared to do this in broad daylight.Simon proceeded to shake his head. “Franky and a few men are still looking, so I’m waiting around for news.”“Before you find the person, don’t show up in public places. I’ll take care of the company’s affairs.” Penelope was worried that the killer would come again after failing once.“I know how to handle it, Penelope.”Penelope just could not seem to rest easy. She looked at the tall and stalwart man in front of her and had to admit that he was all grown up. He was no longer the same child as he was before.After a moment of silence, she asked him, “Are you really planning on marrying her?”Sim
Simon halted his footstep and waited for Eugene to approach him. His eagle-like eyes were filled with a layer of coldness. Eugene had just approached him, and without a single foreshadowing, Simon clenched his fist and waved it toward him!“You still have the gall to show up here?” Simon stared at him coldly and wanted to land another punch on him.Eugene was not in a defensive stance, so Simon’s punch made him stagger a few steps backward. His head was even tilted to the side, and he tasted hints of blood on the corner of his mouth.He raised his hand to wipe the blood off, and his eyes flashed coldly. When he turned around to look at Simon, his ever so elegant and handsome face was expressionless at this moment. He scowled. “Simon, don’t think that just because you’ve announced Shar as your fiancée that you can stop me from seeing her.”Eugene thought that Simon punched him for no good reason and because he was not allowing him to have any more contact with Sharon.Simon’s thi
He hardly ever came back home, and even if he did, there would always be a cold look on his face. Hence, the servants at home dared not provoke him.“Why are you suddenly back, Fourth Young Master?” A middle-aged female voice sounded from the upstairs corridor, and it seemed like she was about to head downstairs.Eugene looked up and saw that it was the Newton household’s main housekeeper, Kelly. She was known to be his grandpa’s confidant.“Where’s my grandpa?” Eugene asked straightforwardly, his tone naturally unpleasant.Kelly was nearly 50 years old, and her family had been the Newton household’s housekeeper for many generations. After her father died three years ago, she took over the position of being the main housekeeper.It could be said that she handled all of the Newtons’ matters and would be the first person to execute Old Master Newton’s orders.When Kelly saw how enraged Eugene was, she wondered what had happened. Could it be that the grandfather and the grandson duo
In the dim study room, the grandfather and grandson stood in silent confrontation. The atmosphere became even more subdued. Even from a distance, Eugene still felt the harsh aura exuding from his grandfather. He always knew that even though his grandfather was old, his ruthlessness had not diminished in the least. He knew that this old man had once killed his brothers to take the position as the head of the Newton family. After a long while, Quinn smiled coldly. “At my age, how much blood do you think has stained my hands?” One more body count would not make a difference at all. “As long as I can clear the obstacles for you, even if my sins are grave, it doesn’t matter if I die and go to hell!” Eugene’s arms that were hanging by his sides were clenched fiercely. “Grandpa, she’s innocent!” “If she’s really innocent, you wouldn’t have stepped forward and apologized on her behalf the last time!” Quinn shouted coldly. Eugene’s words got stuck in his throat as he challenged th
“You dare utter such lies just to save her? Do you think that just because you’re the head of the Newton family now, I dare not use the family law against you?” Eugene knew that his grandfather would not believe him so easily, so he said unhurriedly, “Grandpa, I’m not lying to you. She has a token of the Newton family and I’ve also investigated her background. She was adopted after she went missing. Until now, she still doesn’t know her family history.” It was because he knew her background that he was so protective of her. Quinn remained silent and just looked at him. All of them knew the significance of the Newton family token. It was not something that could be forged by just anyone. After a while, Quinn finally relented. “Okay, I’ll spare her little life first. I want to see if she’s really my granddaughter.” … Three days had passed since the attack and Sharon had been lying in the hospital since. Until now, she still could not hear a sound and was very anxious. She
“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
