“Cough. New sweetheart? I'm his girlfriend, can’t you tell?” Riley said, hooking her arm around Jim's arm while resting her head on him.Lola was not angry at this. Instead, she smiled disdainfully. “What girlfriend? I've been with him for so long and I never heard that he has a girlfriend.”“Yeah, he found one after I came into the picture. I should inform you now not to come pester him anymore in the future. If not, I won’t be so nice to you.”Lola's face changed when she heard this, but she still did not believe Riley's words.She looked directly at Jim while feeling aggrieved and angry. “Jim, what's the matter with her?”Jim coughed softly. “It’s just as she said.” He crossed his long legs as he watched this drama unfold as if it was none of his concern. Since he had already handed the matter over to Riley, he would not bother about it anymore.“H-How can you do this?” Lola’s eyes went red immediately. It was as if she was about to start crying at any moment.“Then what abou
Sharon and Simon's wedding was approaching, so Sharon felt unavoidably nervous.She kept feeling anxious especially after experiencing the trauma of her failed wedding with Howard.Despite this, Simon told her to wait obediently and be a beautiful bride while he arranged everything at the wedding.After deciding that they would go back to stay in the Zachary household after being wed, Simon deliberately decorated the bedroom and added some new furniture.Today, the new furniture would be delivered to the house, so Simon asked her to go back home and plan out how she wanted to decorate the room.At that moment, the workers were busy moving the new furniture into the house in the front yard of the Zachary household.Sharon watched from the side while occasionally reminding them to be careful.She thought Simon had just planned some new pieces of furniture, but she did not expect that he almost replaced all of the previous ones.As she watched the workers move the new dressing tab
Sharon looked around, and sure enough, there was no desk for the little guy.Perhaps Simon only thought about what they needed in their marriage and did not consider the little guy.She patted her son's head. “Mommy will buy it for you. When I have time on weekends, I’ll take you to choose one.”“No, I want daddy to buy it!”“Okay, you can tell him when the time comes.”The little guy was happy now. Then, he asked, “Mommy, will you live here after you and daddy get married? You won't move out again and be apart from me, right?”Sebastian was afraid of the days when he was separated from his mom.“No, Mommy will live with you from now on.”Her son had been with her since he was born, so how could she be willing to be separated from him?The workers brought in all the new furniture and arranged them according to Sharon's instructions. The room had changed beyond recognition now.She looked a little lost, and at the same time a little excited. This would be her home from now on.
Sharon walked out after she put on her wedding dress. When Riley helped her to stand in front of the mirror, she was amazed.“I have a good eye, right? I told you this style of wedding dress is suitable for you. Look, how beautiful! You will be the most beautiful bride in the world on the day of your wedding!” Riley praised unashamedly.Sharon wanted to be humble, but when she looked at herself in the mirror, she almost cried out at her own beauty.The wedding dress draped over her body had a long train which was decorated with shining diamonds. Her veil was very long, and it reached all the way to the bottom of the dress.The most remarkable thing was that the back of the wedding dress had a heart shaped cutout. It was not only romantic, but also showed a bit of her individuality.“Mommy, are you a goddess who just descended from heaven?” Sebastian, who had already put on a small suit, ran over and could not help but marvel when he saw his stunning and ethereal mommy.Simon was
The photoshoot was eventually over. When she changed out of the wedding dress and back into the normal clothes she usually wore, she felt her entire body relax.Sharon collapsed straight onto the sofa in the lounge area.Simon sat down beside her and teased mercilessly. “Mrs. Zachary, your physique is too weak.” It seemed that he had to make her exercise more to strengthen herself.She was exhausted from this activity, and did not react even after Simon teased her. She just lay in place like a dead fish as she looked at the man from the corners of her eyes. He did not look tired at all. On the contrary, he looked rather energized.She could not help but feel puzzled. Thus, she patted the man's strong chest and asked, “Are you really that strong?”He was busy with his work from nine to five every day, and occasionally, he would work overtime or go out for social interactions. Yet, Sharon had never seen him looking tired before.When Sharon spotted his sudden evil expression, she c
After Eugene got out of the car, he looked at the entrance of the hotel. He heard Simon had promised Sharon a grand wedding and it seemed like Simon had done just that.The entrance of the hotel was decorated to look extremely gorgeous and romantic, especially the flower wall next to the entrance. The smell of flowers filled the area, and a gigantic photo of the newlyweds was hung on the flower wall. How extravagant!“Hello, please show me your invitation card.” The attendant at the door stopped Eugene.Eugene replied calmly, “I don’t have one.”“I’m sorry, you can’t go in if you don’t have one.”The guests behind him looked at him strangely. Where did he get the courage to come without an invitation?Although Eugene looked calm, he sighed in his heart helplessly.Sharon was so cruel. She said she would cut all ties with him, so she did not even invite him to her wedding. Did she really want to their relationship to end that badly?She broke his heart.“I am Eugene Newton. Go
In the room, the makeup artist had already applied Sharon's makeup for her. In addition to that, she had also put on her wedding dress.Riley was the bridesmaid today, and she was busy helping Sharon put on a set of custom-made jewelry.Riley helped her put on the diamond earrings and commented enviously, “Shar, I heard that Simon asked the designer to design this set of jewelry just for you, then got them custom-made. He’s so considerate and caring for you. I believe you have found the right husband.”Sharon was very aware of Simon's intentions, so she did not need to outwardly express her appreciation for him.“You will also find a man who treats you well in the future.”“How can it be that easy? There are fewer and fewer good men nowadays. It’s almost like they’ve all gone extinct like the dinosaurs.”At that moment, she thought of Jim the scumbag. He impregnated someone and had the nerve to use her as an excuse to cast the woman aside. What a b*stard!Sharon was amused by th
Sharon looked at Summer in confusion. Did Summer not come here to give Sharon her blessings? Why did was she ask about Riley all of a sudden?Something flashed across Summer’s eyes. Then, she said apologetically to Riley, “I’m sorry. I didn’t mean to bring up your sad past.”Riley was nonchalant about it. “It’s fine, I don’t know who they are anyway. Perhaps they abandoned me in the orphanage because I’m a girl. I wouldn’t want parents like this anyway.”Sharon shifted her gaze to look at her best friend. She had known Riley for a long time, and it was true that she never saw her getting upset over her parents before.The corner of Summer’s lips raised into a smile before she left. When she turned around, the smile on her face disappeared.When she got outside, she was feeling a little absent-minded. How would she not recognize the flame tattoo on Riley’s back? That was the mark that only the Gabriels would have.She also had one, but hers was on the small of her back. No one wou
“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
