Simon’s deep, lilting voice made its way into her heart. Her heart skipped a beat as her breathing grew erratic. Just as she was about to push him away reflexively, he stood up straight and cast a piercing glance at her. He then followed Sebastian to their seats. Sharon remained standing there in a daze. She was overcome with shock and embarrassment. How despicable! After whispering in her ear, he had bitten it. A burst of numbness spread out from her ears to her limbs! If this was not a public event, she would have slapped him right across the face! Her ears flared up in heat. The burning sensation did not dissipate after a long time... "Sharon, why are you standing here in a daze?" Eugene, who had just arrived, asked as he patted her from behind. Sharon was shocked. “Don’t you know that you almost scared me to death!” she shouted out in annoyance. Eugene gave her a once-over and smiled as he raised his brows at her. “Why do you seem so guilty? Look at how shocked y
Was Eugene attracted to Fern because of this? Regardless of the reason, she would not allow someone to snatch him from her, especially if it was a lowly woman like this! “Oh, why are you here?” Hera asked, feigning a look of surprise. Fern was shocked to see her as well. Looking at the coffee stains on her dress, she knew that Hera had deliberately spilled the coffee on her.“Hera, who is she?” Several of Hera’s friends, who were all here to support her, stood by her side. They all gave Fern a once-over. "I don't know her, but she was the waitress that spilled wine on me during my birthday party," Hera said in a mocking tone. "Oh, so she's the one that spilled wine on you. Why don't you continue being a waitress? Why are you here to participate in an audition?" "That's right. Do you expect Miss Newton to select a waitress to be the ambassador of her perfume? Hahaha…" Hera’s friends mocked and ridiculed Fern. The commotion attracted the other candidates’ attention as
Everyone was shocked when Fern picked up the scissors from the table. They thought that she wanted to take revenge on Hera out of anger. They did not expect her to use the pair of scissors to cut her dress. In the blink of an eye, she had cut off the part of her dress with the coffee stain on it. Her gown was transformed into a side slit dress, which revealed one of her long, slender, and fair legs. She gave off a mesmerizing sense of sexiness! Everyone took in a sharp breath. What a bold woman! Eugene stared at her exposed leg, his gaze darkening as his expression stiffened. Fern turned to look at Sharon. “Can I participate in the audition like this?” she asked. A hint of admiration flashed across Sharon’s gaze after looking at what she had done. She did not panic in the face of imminent danger and managed to resolve her problems in such a short amount of time. Her fondness for Miss Thompson continued to grow. “Yes, you can,” Sharon replied. She looked at Eugene,
Eugene pursed his lips tightly and continued to stare at her without uttering a single word. After looking at him coldly for a moment, she turned her face away and said, “I have to go for the audition now. Please don’t disturb me anymore.” After speaking, she walked away from him and left immediately. Fern walked into the washroom and looked at her own reflection in the mirror. Her face was slightly pale, and the cheap lipstick she applied to her lips had faded away. Although her lipstick was cheap, she still had to touch up her makeup. Even though she was here just because of the cash prize, she would still gain a decent amount of money if she were selected as the perfume ambassador. She pulled out the lipstick that she had bought in a small shop and was about to apply it when a voice rang out from behind her. “Wait a moment.”Fern was shocked. When she turned around, she saw Sharon entering the washroom. Sharon walked toward her and took a glance at the lipstick in her h
After her son asked her this question, Sharon was reminded of Simon and Sebastian’s presence. She turned around to meet Simon’s dark gaze. From the expression on his face, it seemed like she had done something that hurt his feelings!She moved her gaze away and cleared her throat. “You’re still a child. Don’t ask so many things,” she said while caressing Sebastian’s head. Simon, who was seated beside Sebastian, voiced out, “If that’s the case, I should be able to ask you that question as your suitor, right?” Simon asked. He curled his lips as he gave her a sideways glance.Sharon looked at him again with a raised brow. “As my suitor, you should mind your own behavior. It’ll be despicable if you do too many things,” she remarked. He narrowed his piercing eyes, emanating an air of threatening danger. Someone else had caught her eye but he could not even ask about it? “Ah, I know who has caught Mommy’s eye! It’s that beautiful lady on the stage!” Sebastian exclaimed as he poin
Back then, she was the campus belle whom all the boys chased after in university. How did they get to know each other? It was an amusing story… Once, she had run to a forest on the mountain behind the school to hide from one of her suitors. When she climbed up a tree, she stumbled into him. He had been lying on a thick branch of the tree. It was a hot summer afternoon, so Eugene was dressed in a white shirt and black pants. Nevertheless, his simple outfit failed to mask the noble air that he exuded. Her mind went blank once she set her eyes on him after climbing the tree. She had many suitors and plenty of them were good-looking. However, this was the first time she had seen such a handsome man. Amidst the chaos, she had barged into his peaceful world. From then onward, their fates were intertwined with each other. Whenever Eugene recalled the incident that had taken place on that day, he felt like God had decided to play a prank on him. If he knew that he was not c
The next day after Sharon had selected Fern as her perfume ambassador, someone released a scandal regarding her online. They first exposed her for working as a server in various restaurants and hotels. They also mentioned that she worked as a bar girl at night and criticized her for having a messy, indecent private life. Another devastating scandal revealed the fact that she had gotten pregnant before graduating from university. After that, she was expelled from the university and gave birth to her child without getting married. Nobody knew who the father of her child was. Perhaps, she was not sure as well. In other words, this meant that she already had a messy lifestyle since her university years and had messed around with many men. If Sharon kept her decision to have Fern as her ambassador after these series of scandals, it would definitely affect the establishment and credibility of her brand. Unless… she replaced Fern with someone else. Sharon handed the iPad over
“He’s dead,” Fern articulated the two words nonchalantly. Although that man was still alive, he was already dead to her. Eugene’s heart gradually sank as it did previously when he heard her reply. He could not describe what he was feeling right now. Sharon sighed sentimentally. Why did Fern’s experience remind her so much of herself? They were both single mothers, and their children were without their fathers’ care from a young age...However, she was suspicious about something. Was Eugene not the father of Fern’s child? Nevertheless, she was not sure about what had happened between the both of them. Perhaps the child really had nothing to do with her brother. “I’ve told you everything that I can. If you think that I’m not qualified to endorse your perfume, you have to pay me compensation. We can then dissolve our cooperation,” Fern said regretfully. However, she still wanted the money. Sharon returned to her senses and said, “I just wanted you to be honest with me. Sinc
“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
