Sharon unconsciously walked up to the wall and looked at her parents’ wedding photo. It looked like they were still very young at the time, and their mother appeared to be in her 20s.In this photo, their father, Caleb, appeared to be a tall and big man. He looked rather upright and handsome, giving out a sense of elegance and righteousness.As for their mother, she had a brilliant pair of eyes while the rest of her features were delicate too. She looked like the gentle and pretty daughter of a humble family, and even though her appearance was not exceedingly beautiful, she was even more stunning the longer one looked at her. Plus, her temperament seemed to be something out of this world.It was just that in this wedding photo, Sharon could not sense any bliss, especially in their mother’s expression. On the contrary, it was as if she was very reluctant to marry their father.Eugene had said that it was a marriage to connect two families, so the elders had arranged it for them.Sh
Eugene looked slightly startled as he never expected that she would ask such a question so suddenly. He shook his head and replied, “I’m not so sure myself.”“Really?” She looked into his eyes, attempting to find some clues.Eugene still looked as calm as always, and it did not seem like he was trying to hide anything from her. He found it somewhat odd and asked, “Did our stepmother say something to you just now?”Sharon lowered her eyes. “Not really.” She could not bring herself to believe Germaine’s words, so she wanted to get more information from him instead.Eugene was silent for a few seconds and started recalling what had happened that year. Finally, he unhurriedly explained, “The driver picked me up from school that day, and I could hear our parents arguing about something. That’s when I found out that my little sister had gone missing. I immediately ran out looking for you, but the world seemed so big to me back then and there were so many people outside that I didn’t know
Sharon looked at her son who had suddenly shown up in front of her. At this moment, she could see all the unbearable anger on his tiny face while his eyes were filled with grief.It was as if her heart had broken into a million pieces. She was so distressed that she almost lost all control and took him into her arms!She wondered if he had been doing well in the past two years of her absence…Her son had grown a lot taller and his childishness from two years ago seemed to have vanished as well. Now he and Simon were getting more and more alike, not only in terms of appearance but also the cold temperament that was exuding from the child’s body.Although the little guy had grown taller, he looked thinner as well. Was this kid skipping his meals?How on earth had Simon been taking care of their kid?When the mother and son were in a silent confrontation, the media reporters below the stage were gathering around and taking pictures continuously. Some of them could not wait to inquir
She decided to be cruel and put on a deadpan look on her face. Then, she shoved the little guy’s hand away while pretending to have lost her patience. With a scowl, she said, “Whose kid is this? Don’t go around calling other people your mom!”When Sebastian was shoved away by her, he was immediately stunned. Sharon’s actions had clearly wounded him, and he pondered if Mommy had truly forgotten about him?Sebastian wanted to approach her once more, but a tall figure appeared and pulled him back to his side.“He’s my son,” Simon said after coming up the stage from seemingly out of nowhere while looking straight into Sharon’s eyes. Simon’s appearance stirred up the reporters even more. Frankly speaking, everyone had heard about him having a son with an unknown woman. However, due to the power he held, no one dared to report this news even if they wanted to.Now that he was taking the initiative to disclose his son’s identity, the reporters would certainly not miss publishing such br
Sharon knew that Eugene would eventually catch up to them. He certainly would never allow Simon to take her away so easily.It was just that she never expected him to block Simon’s car so quickly.Sebastian took a look at the situation outside and instantly knew that these people were here to take his mommy away. As such, he jumped into her arms and hugged her tightly, saying, “I’ll not let you leave, Mommy. You’re not allowed to abandon Daddy and me again!”His tone had gotten as domineering as his father’s!There was a flash in Simon’s eagle-like eyes, and he said to his son in a cold voice, “Take good care of her and don’t allow her to get out of the car.” After saying this, he pushed the car door open and faced Eugene on his own.Sharon could not help but stare at the two men outside the car nervously. This scene seemed to have taken her back to two years ago when every time these two met, they would always be at daggers drawn.Two years ago, those situations happened because
Bam! There was a sound of the car door closing and opening behind Simon. Then, the woman’s figure came running toward them.When Sharon saw Eugene aiming the gun at Simon in the car, she could feel her heart jumping to her throat.If her son had not been pulling at her, she would have come over long ago.“Brother…” Sharon called out. At this moment, she was terrified of him shooting Simon, yet she deliberately twisted her words and said, “This b*stard kidnapped me, so make sure to get payback for me!”Sebastian had gotten out of the car to chase after her, and he was utterly shocked upon hearing her words. He quickly grabbed onto her hand while yelling, “Mommy, you can’t be so mean to Daddy!”She looked down at her son, feeling hesitant and conflicted. She could not allow herself to go with them! No way!She toughened herself up and pushed her son away with force. Then, she deliberately scowled at him fiercely. “I told you I’m not your mother! Get lost!”Perhaps she had exerted
Eugene sent Sharon over to the research lab and left. Unfortunately, the trouble that happened back at the mall had caused a bit of a stir, so he needed to head to the media companies of the respective reporters who had taken photos of the incident and try to control the situation.When Sharon came back, Ceylon noticed that her eyes were still a little red and swollen. He hesitatingly asked, “So the kid is yours?”He was naturally present during the perfume introductory event and saw the scene of the boy running onto the stage, calling her ‘Mommy’.Sharon looked at him upon hearing his question. She knew that he was only caring about her and not trying to gossip like the others.It was just that she was not in the mood to discuss this matter further.“No. He got the wrong person.”As her mentor, Ceylon could still somewhat read her thoughts. At the very least, he understood that she did not want to talk about it.“Ah, so he got it wrong. That just means you look a lot like the c
Xena was slightly startled. She had just arrived and he was already trying to chase her out. Naturally, there was a slight discomfort in her heart, but she still tried to behave sensibly.“Rest assured, I’m only here to take care of you and Sebastian. I know that you’ve been looking for Sharon this whole time, and I’ve also been hoping that she’ll come back as soon as possible. Plus, Sebastian needs his mother.”Simon narrowed his eyes at her for a few seconds and said coldly, “Since you’re on the same page… that’s good.”The father and son proceeded to sit down on the other end of the sofa and ignored her.Xena’s lips were still curled up into a smile, making her look innocent and harmless. She looked as if she was genuinely wholeheartedly thinking about what was best for them.It was just that anger arose when she lowered her eyes, and she secretly clenched her hands into tight fists. She had gotten fed up with Simon always ignoring her. How could she tolerate him chasing afte
“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
