She picked up her wallet, pulled out a bank card, and handed it over to him. “Here’s a hundred thousand dollars. It’s the fees for your service last night, President Zachary, albeit the service wasn’t all that satisfactory,” she told him. Simon’s expression gradually darkened as he exuded a frigid and murderous aura. It felt like he was going to strangle her to death in the very next second! Simon pinned a dark gaze upon her. He tightened his grip on her chin and spoke to her through gritted teeth. “What do you mean by service fees for last night? What do you take me for!” He yelled. How dare she tell him that his service was not satisfactory? He was the head of the Zachary family. Having him for a night was just worth a hundred thousand dollars? Wait, he should not be pondering upon this seriously. He was not a gigolo! Sharon was not frightened by the dark expression on his face. “You can think about it however you like, but this is a suitable price. Don’t think of scamm
Naturally, Sharon did not want to talk about what happened last night. However, when she thought about what Simon said, she asked in curiosity, “Were you the one who took me to the hotel after I got drunk last night?”Ceylon noticed that she was purposely dodging his question. He wanted to continue asking her, but he still respected her.He nodded and answered, “Yeah, you said you don’t want to go back to the Newton household, and I didn’t know where to take you, so I could only take you to the hotel.”Sharon let out a sigh of relief when she heard this. With her understanding of her teacher, he would not do anything inappropriate to her.Why should she believe what Simon said? She should believe her teacher’s character,“Sir, I wasn’t able to entertain you well this time you came over and I didn’t take you to places to have fun as well. I just asked you to help me with my research and pick out flowers and materials. This is my fault.”She stopped and continued, “Sir, I have my o
Of course not…Ceylon frowned and looked straight at her. He asked, “Who’s your type then? Is it Simon?”Sharon felt her heart tighten and she lowered her eyes. “No…”“It is!” He interrupted her denial. He looked at her sharply and continued, “You were calling his name when you’re drunk last night. In vino veritas, no?”Sharon’s eyes shone. Did she call out Simon’s name last night?Did Simon hear it too?She felt embarrassed in that instance even though Simon was not there.Her silence confirmed Ceylon’s guess. He grabbed her shoulders tightly all of a sudden and he was getting emotional. “Sienna, since you don’t want to accept him, why don’t you be with me? That way, he won’t have any reasons to annoy you anymore.”Sharon was shocked. What kind of logic was that?She said seriously, “Sir, I won’t use anyone as my shield. What’s between me and him is none of your business.”“Sienna…”“You don’t have to say anything anymore. I only see you as my teacher and nothing else. You
Sharon felt all the nerves on her body crumbling at that moment. She also flung his hand away with all her might in a blink of an eye. She said while looking at him coldly, “What do you want me to admit? Are you sick in the head?”Simon’s sharp eyes were still glued to her. He wanted to see through her.“Admit that you’re Sharon!”“I told you before that I'm Sienna!”“Then why did you call my name when you were drunk?”A hint of awkwardness flashed across Sharon’s face, but she went back to normal quickly. “It’s because you’re too annoying! You annoy me so much by pestering me!”After she said that, she felt pain in her chin. The man’s hand grabbed her and said while clenching his teeth, “You’re still pretending!”Sharon frowned and before she could push him away, a figure flashed past her and the pain disappeared. The man in front of her had also been pulled away.“She said she’s not the person you’re looking for. Why are you forcing her?” Finally, Ceylon could not take this a
It would be detrimental to her if things escalated to that step.So, why was it so hard for her to get away from the father and son?She took a deep breath and clenched her fists. She said without turning her head, “If you really want to do this, please do so.” Her tone sounded as faint as a can falling to the ground.Sebastian wanted to chase her when he saw her walking away. However, Simon grabbed him from the back.“Daddy, you’re so useless. You can’t even take care of a woman.” Sebastian peered at his father with contempt.“I cooperated with you so well too! I was sadfishing in front of mommy.” However, he still could not get his mommy back.Simon frowned and looked at the mini version of himself. Was the brat looking down on him?He curled his finger and tapped on Sebastian’s forehead. He purposely made a dark face and said, “What do you know? In order to capture, one must let loose.”Sebastian pointed. “Mommy is so stubborn now. Are you sure you’re able to take her down t
“Is there anyone here? Help!” Sharon screamed. She got a mouthful of smoke and she coughed uncontrollably from the choking.The staff in the research lab had all left because it was after work hours. The security guard would only patrol occasionally as well.Since the fire was burning so out of control now, she figured that no one was around.Her survival instinct caused her to look for the exit everywhere. Maybe someone would notice that this place was on fire. She could not give up!“Somebody, help…”The fire was getting bigger and bigger and the smoke was getting thicker as well. Sharon inhaled too much smoke and she finally collapsed on the floor because she could not take it anymore.She could not see her surroundings clearly anymore and it was getting very difficult to breathe. She was on the floor and she was staring straight into the direction of the exit. She tried to climb over there but a lot of burning things kept falling around her. They almost fell on her a few ti
Eugene walked in front of her and his face looked solemn.“Why are you asking about him? Didn’t you reject him and stop all interaction with him?”“Stop fooling around. Tell me now, how is he? Where did he get hurt?”Eugene lifted his eyebrows and his eyes were filled with scorn. “You’re still very concerned about him.”“Eugene!” Sharon was going insane. She was not in the mood to joke around with him.Eugene sighed internally and he understood that she was unable to truly let that man go.“He’s just next door…”Before he could finish talking, Sharon had already pushed him aside to walk out quickly. She wanted so desperately to see him immediately!Sharon thought Simon was just like her. She thought he only had some minor injuries and there was nothing serious.When she saw the unconscious man in bed with gauze around his head and a horrifically pale face, she could feel excruciating pain in her heart.“He hurt his head? Is it serious?” Sharon grabbed Eugene’s sleeve and aske
Inside the room, Sharon looked into the man’s eyes.‘Doesn’t make friends with women?‘How can he say nonsense like this?’Even if they were to look past the women who were around him, did he not have Xena around him now?Fine, even if those women were not friends, they definitely did not share a simple relationship with him. Even if Sharon were not here, he would not be lacking women either.When she thought about this, her heart did not feel that great.She yelled at herself secretly. Did she have no respect for herself at all?She coughed slightly and said while pretending to be unaffected, “Did you lose your memories or are you stupid? I’m your friend!”She wanted to see if he was pretending or did he really forget.However, after she said that, a child’s voice sounded from the door. “Mommy, you’re the stupid one. You’re daddy’s woman and his wife, not his friend.” Sebastian appeared all of a sudden.He walked straight to the bed and looked at his father, saying, “Daddy
“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
