Sharon frowned at his words. What kind of era was this guy living in? Why could one not have children without getting married first?However, the old man would be adamant about his way of thinking, so there was no need for her to argue with him over such matters. Not to mention, she had to leave her son in the Newton household for the day.“I’m just his mother for the time being.”Quinn found her words to be even more ridiculous and scoffed. “For the time being? So are you saying the kid is not yours?”“Of course, I’m Mommy’s son!” Sebastian shouted.Sharon refused to discuss this topic and pulled her son over to sit at the table.“I’ll be a little busy today, Grandpa, so Sebastian will be here to keep you company.”“I’m a loner, so I don’t need anyone accompanying me.” Quinn refused without the slightest hesitation.“Then… you can keep him company instead.”Quinn’s old face appeared stern when he said, “I don’t take care of kids.”“Great-grandpa, it’s easy to take care of me
“I have a daddy and a mommy, so I’m not a wild child!” The old man’s words managed to stir Sebastian up, making him immediately jump off the chair as he shouted at him furiously.“How impudent!” Quinn sneered. How dare a little brat challenge him?!His murky old eyes immediately glared at Sharon as he said, “Contact his parents immediately and demand them the compensation for the vase. Ask them to take this kid away as well!”Sharon was getting somewhat angry as well. She knew that the old man had a weird temperament, but he was clearly abusing his authority to hurt a child.“I’ll pay you back for the vase, but how can you bicker with a child at your age? You’ll become a laughing stock if outsiders find out about this,” said Sharon coldly.Quinn snorted back at her. “I’m already a laughing stock for accepting you back into the Newton household! You’re not even his mother, so why are you paying for his mistake? Call his parents over!”“I’m his mother for the time being, so I shoul
Sharon looked at him in astonishment. It was eight million dollars. Was he about to pay up so quickly?She felt that Simon was letting the old man get away with it so lightly!Quinn did not expect Simon to be so frank and straightforward as well. He suddenly said, “Hold on.”The pen in Simon’s hand paused as he looked at the old man in a puzzled manner. Quinn was not uttering a word and merely stared at him for quite some time. It seemed like something had flashed before his murky old eyes.Then, he quickly muttered, “Since you’re being so sincere, President Zachary, why don’t we change the mode of compensation?”Simon put his pen away as his thin lips curled into a half-smile. He asked, “What kind of mode are you speaking of?”Sharon had a bad feeling in her gut when she saw the old man smiling so insincerely.A sharp light flashed across Quinn’s eyes as he said, “I heard that you’ve successfully acquired one of Far East’s projects. As far as I know, the project is huge, and
Only Quinn possessed the right to speak inside the Newton household. His words were not something that Sharon could object to. Hence, Simon managed to move into the house as their guest!The crazier thing was that the old man had even arranged for him to stay in the guest house attached to Malvales Garden.Since she had invited Ceylon to stay in the guest house, then it meant the two of them would be staying together under the same roof.Although the entire guest house was not small and had more than one room, Sharon still felt the air around her becoming thinner with so many people staying here at the same time.The reason why she moved back into the Newton household was to avoid the father and son. Now, however, there was barely anywhere for her to escape to.She thought about moving into her research lab instead, but Ceylon was still staying in the Newton household. She could not possibly leave him here, could she?At this moment, Sharon and her servant brought Simon over to t
They had deliberately acted out the scene on purpose for Mommy to see. However, Daddy was so mean that he actually hit him!Simon stood still and watched as Sharon dragged their son away from him furiously. There was even a slight smile on his lips. Who said that she had stopped caring about her son?Moreover, he did not lose a project for nothing. He could now live in the Newton household and see her every day.Once Sharon pulled her son into the room, she took his clothes off and asked, “Come on, show me where he hit you.”When he turned, she saw that there was a red line across his back. If Simon had exerted more strength, her son’s skin would have torn.Damn! How could Simon do this to his own son?!Sharon was distressed as she asked, “Does it hurt? I’ll apply some ointment on it.”Sebastian shook his head, saying, “It doesn’t hurt that bad. I’m quite used to it.”When Sharon heard this, she immediately furrowed her brows. “You’re used to it? Does he hit you very often?”“
Sharon looked at the man’s handsome face that had a playful expression on it at the moment and took a deep breath. Would he think that she was avoiding him if she refused to get in his car?If she had truly lost her memory and forgotten about him, then there was no need for her to be afraid.To not arouse his suspicions, she curled her lips and calmly said, “Sure. Thank you, President Zachary.” After saying these words, she proceeded to hop into the car.As soon as she sat down, she could hear the man telling the driver to drive. The driver hurriedly stepped on the gas.Sharon was a little startled when she saw the passing scenery out the window. Why did it feel like she had fallen into a trap?When she turned her head, she almost bumped into the man who was almost within reach. She barely noticed when he even closed in on her and subconsciously retreated to the window, putting some distance between them.Looking at how she was avoiding him, Simon felt utterly displeased. He lock
Seeing that he was unresponsive, Sharon could not help but ask, “What is it? You don’t want to write it?”Simon stared at her for a few more seconds before replying, “I’ll do it.”There were already pens and papers in the car. Holding a pen in his slender hand, he quickly wrote on the blank sheet of paper and handed it to her.She had to admire how good his penmanship was, and when she looked at the words written, they stated: [I promise I will never again use physical force when educating my son in the future.]“Your format’s all wrong.” Sharon scoffed while giving the paper back to him.“What’s wrong with it?”“You have to state the words ‘letter of assurance’ on the top and add your signature at the end. Haven’t you written one before?”“Never.”Sharon was slightly surprised and coughed lightly while saying, “Then write it down as I told you earlier.”Simon did not say a word and merely started writing once more. He then asked, “Is it alright now?” It was as if he was humbl
“Simon! I told you that I won’t see a doctor, so even if you tie me up, I’ll not go along!” Sharon could not seem to shake him off. She scoffed at him angrily and anxiously.The man walking in front of her turned around upon hearing this. Before she could react, his big hands clasped onto her shoulders and pressed her whole body against the corridor wall.“Why won’t you see a doctor? What are you afraid of? Or perhaps are you running away from something?” The man’s handsome yet cold face closed in on her. His unfathomable dark eyes were staring right at her sharply.Sharon felt her breathing getting thinner as she stared at him without saying a single word. Her back was tightly pressed onto the cold and hard wall.Once her breathing eased up a little, she was able to calm her thoughts as well.However, the man’s eyes were still as sharp, and she started to feel a tingle on her scalp…After a short while, she suppressed her nerves and concealed the tension in her eyes. Then, she p
“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
