Simon took in a breath, his dark eyes staring back at her. His back was against the lighting and his towering silhouette standing right before her, looking like the dark lord.He then chuckled softly and said with a hoarse voice that was filled with mockery, "It’s just a kiss and you’re saying I’m taking you lightly? Then what are you going to say for having given birth to my child?"Sharon's eyes glittered, but she quickly recovered and remained calm. "What child? I don't even know you. Stop talking nonsense and tainting my innocence!"Simon's eyes grew dark, and his huge palm grabbed her wrist, wanting to drag her away.Sharon was shocked. "What do you want now? Let go of me, you maniac!""I'm bringing you to a hospital for a check-up and to see whether or not you've given birth to my child."'He wants to bring me to a hospital for a check-up? Only a fool will follow him!'"Let go of me! Or else I'm going to shout!" 'Damn it. Why was Eugene not around at such a critical hour?
Eugene's eyes were cold and sharp as they stared at Fern's palm-sized face as if he wanted to see through her.She was still wearing the uniform of a server as she had been hired last minute to help with the party. When Hera slapped her, her clothes were also drenched by the alcohol.Eugene felt a pinch in his heart when he recalled her being so lowly and begging Hera for forgiveness on the floor. He could not suppress the flame of rage within him."Answer me! Just how desperate are you for money?!" He suddenly stretched out his hand and grasped her chin, forcing her to lift her face.Under the yellow streetlights, he could clearly see her face that had been hit till it was swollen. He really hated her current pitiful appearance.Fern looked into his eyes, and she did not feel any pain from her red and swollen eyes. However, deep in her heart, she was hurt.She looked at the prestigious man in front of her calmly and smiled. It was a smile filled with self-mockery and pity. "Yeah
If the incident tonight had not happened, she would have gotten her pay for the day and would have been back home to accompany her daughter.She had just hung up the call when not even two seconds later, her phone rang again.When she was about to reject the call, the man's huge hand suddenly stretched out to take the phone. "Why aren't you answering it?"Eugene took the phone and saw the contact name of the caller—’Dear’.'It’s such an intimate nickname. I wonder what relationship she shares with this person?’Fern could not snatch back her phone in time and Eugene had already answered the call. A girl’s childish yet clear voice was heard from the other end of the call. "Mom, are you done with work yet? I'm at home waiting for you to come back to sleep…"Both of them heard the child's voice and their eyes met each other once more. They did not speak a word.'She already has a daughter?'Eugene felt his heart tightening. 'But didn’t I already find out that she had a child two y
Simon had not been at home in the Zachary household these days as he was busy looking for Sharon. As such, Sebastian called him."Daddy, did you go and look for Mommy again?" Sebastian got to know about Simon's whereabouts after asking the butler.These two years, Simon would always personally head to the location whenever he received news about Sharon, but every time, he would return disappointed.Eventually, even Sebastian did not have much hope left. He thought to himself that Simon would definitely be disappointed once more."Yeah, do you want to meet her?" Simon was thinking hard about how he should approach Sharon who did not seem to recognize him anymore.If it were not for his son calling him, he would have really forgotten about a fact. 'She can forget me, but she can't possibly forget her son, right?""I don't want to meet her." Currently, Sebastian was already a seven-year-old kid. He was no longer as childish as he was two years ago. He was becoming more and more like
Eugene's eyes darkened. "No matter what, he's still my grandfather. In this world, aside from you, he's the closest family I have left."He could not deny the fact that his grandfather was very stern to him since he was young, and he did not receive much love from his grandfather either. However, to someone like him, it was a lucky thing that he still had someone dear to him whom he could appreciate.The two locked eyes for some time before Sharon sighed. "Then tell me, what's going on between you and that female server from before?"When she brought up Fern, it made Eugene frown. His expression changed as he recalled the events that had happened last night—of her tearing the check and her back figure stubbornly leaving the scene.He closed his eyes and said with a very deep voice, "She's my ex-girlfriend. We broke up later on."Sharon did not question him further as the answer was as what she had expected.She need not ask as she already knew the reason behind their breakup.Sh
Sharon was immediately stunned when she saw the woman whom Jim had brought back home. It was her best friend, Riley!She subconsciously wanted to hide but immediately pushed aside that idea. ‘Where can I even hide?'Since I can't hide from her, I'm going to face her head-on.'What puzzled her most was why Riley was with Jim. 'Don't tell me that she's in a relationship with Jim?'For the past two years when she was not around, she had always wondered what had happened to her best friend.Obviously, Riley was walking toward her.She ignored how those weird adults were looking at her and immediately rushed to Sharon’s side. She grabbed Sharon’s shoulders and glanced at her. She was delighted, but at the same time, she found it hard to believe. "Shar, is it you? Is it really you?"The accident that happened two years ago had made her think that she could no longer meet with Sharon again. After all, Simon had sent his men to look for her whereabouts for so long but his efforts were f
"Grandpa, I’ve forgotten to introduce her to you." Jim brought Riley to the front of the old man and said with a chuckle, "This is Riley. She's my girlfriend, your future granddaughter-in-law."Quinn's old eyes darkened as he stared at Riley with a sharp gaze. ‘Granddaughter-in-law? Does such a woman have what it takes to be one?'"Jim, what nonsense are you talking about? Since when did I allow you to have a girlfriend?" Scarlet quickly scolded her son. It seemed that she was also not satisfied with the girlfriend her son had brought over this time.Sharon looked at her best friend quietly. 'She really is in a relationship with Jim?'She got into a relationship with Jim without knowing his personality?'"Mom, I thought you allowed me to get a girlfriend? Now that I’ve brought her back to meet everyone, you're objecting to it?" Jim snorted."I… I did allow you to get a girlfriend, but not someone like this…"Riley disliked listening to such a comment. She stared at Scarlet and a
Riley was dragged right out of the Newton household’s main entrance by Jim and shoved into the car parked outside the gate.Inside the car, Riley immediately shook his hand off and stretched out her palm in front of him. “Pay up.”Jim cast a glance at her and drew a black card from his wallet. Then, he shoved it into her hand, saying, “It’s more than you bargained for!”“What do you mean? We’ve decided on a price and I don’t want any charity from you,” she said while trying to hand the black card back to him.Jim pressed her hand tightly and said, “Don’t be so anxious. This is a limitless Amex black card. Just deduct the money that I owe you this time around, and I’ll ask you for help again in the future.”Did this mean he would look for her to pretend to be his girlfriend again next time? He wanted her to deduct the labor fee from this black card? Was that what he was implying?Riley raised her brows and cast a sidelong glance at his gorgeous face that was out of this world. 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
