Sharon was in the middle of working on her perfume when Glady walked in and told her Simon was here.She frowned. Simon had been making frequent visits these past few days, to the extent that it made people doubt if he was really the supposedly busy president of a corporation.After a short while, she heard footsteps. She asked without even looking up, “Why are you here again?”Simon walked to stand in front of her. Hearing her, his gaze turned dark. What the heck did that mean?“It seems that you’re being impatient with me?” Simon’s handsome brows were slightly raised. There was a heavy feeling in his chest.“How dare I?” Her head was still lowered.Simon’s expression shifted. He pinched her chin and forced her to look at him, obviously displeased. “From the moment I entered till now, you haven’t looked at me. And you say you aren’t sick of me?”Sharon looked at the unhappy man in front of her, befuddled. She merely had not looked at him. Was his change in mood really necessary
“Why did you buy another house again?” She did not answer his question but instead asked another. Meanwhile, her gaze roamed around the interior of the unit.“I bought it for us, of course. This is our new home.”Sharon turned to look at him, confused. “Our new home?”Simon reached out and pulled her into his embrace. “We’ve gotten back together. Shouldn’t we live together too? I agreed to not marry you first, but I think we should live together like we’re husband and wife.”He was not wrong…“If we’re husband and wife, shouldn’t we live together? Or do you not want to live with me?”“I don’t mean that, but—”Before she was done talking, he interrupted, “Shar, I don’t want to be separated from you again. I can’t sleep at night without you.”Uh, it was not that serious, was it? Did he not manage to live by himself just fine the past two years?Had he suffered from insomnia during that time? She remembered hearing their son bring that up.“Follow me.”Before she could speak, h
”Eugene, what happened? I didn’t piss you off, did I?” Sharon looked at Eugene strangely.“Were you the one who had Fern go look for that b*stard Director Zimmermann?” Eugene asked, pushing his anger down.Sharon thought for a while and said, “Yes. What about it?”“You’re asking me that? Take a look at these yourself! What entertainment industry are you introducing her to? You’re pushing her into a fire pit!” Eugene tossed some photos at her.Sharon picked them up and looked at them, her expression immediately changing. “What… What’s this?”“Ask yourself! After you introduced her to Director Zimmermann, she was almost tricked into sleeping with someone!”When Fern went to meet Director Zimmermann, she got tricked and drunk a glass of wine that had been drugged. She was nearly raped. If not for Eugene, who had come across her coincidentally, the stupid woman would have been harmed. Sharon looked at the photos in her hand. They were of Fern who was drinking in a room in a nightcl
“Then, I’ll thank you in advance.”Sharon had also previously hoped that Fern could find an agency that was willing to take her in as it would make things significantly easier. “I don’t want a verbal expression of your gratitude.” Simon’s eyes were now half-closed.Sharon curled her lips, asking, “What do you want, then?”Simon’s gaze darkened, and it was as if his obsidian pupils had the magical ability to suck her soul in…Deliberately lowering his head to the side of her ear, he said with a voice low enough that only the two of them could hear, “I want you…”Sharon paused for one second before she realized what he had said. Heat spread instantly from her ears to all over her face!“You…” She pushed him away, feeling shy and embarrassed.Eugene was already in a bad mood even before the two of them started flirting in front of him while ignoring him completely.The anger festering in his chest was even more prominent now!“No, thanks! I won’t let her enter the entertainment
As he stood outside the door, Eugene was stunned for a few seconds before snapping out of it."Nice to meet you, little kid. I'm your mom's friend," he said to the little girl inside the house.Rue thought for a moment. Apart from Sharon who once came looking for her mother, no one else had come to their doorstep before. 'Why is there an uncle at our doorstep looking for Mom?'Could he be pursuing Mom?'Even though she was very young, her mother had taught her not to simply open the door and invite any strangers in. Hence, she was still putting up her guard.She did not open the door immediately and asked, "You're Mom's friend? Then you should know what my mom's name is?"Eugene heard the little girl's childish tone from inside the apartment unit and felt his heart melting despite being unable to have a glimpse of her face."Your mom's name is Fern Thompson." He knew that the little girl was testing him out.Rue was also curious about the appearance of the uncle who had come
She touched her daughter's head, saying, "Go ahead if you want to eat the fruits. Remember to say thank you to uncle.""Alright. Thanks, Mommy."Usually, there were not any snacks or treats in the house for Rue to eat, let alone fruits. At times, she would also want to munch on something.She chose a big red apple from the fruit basket and said to Eugene politely, "Thank you, Uncle."Everyone would naturally like a polite kid. For some inexplicable reason, Eugene felt heartbroken.'It’s just eating an apple, yet she’s being so cautious.'"No worries. It's all for you," he said softly.On an ordinary day, Fern would only cook a meat and vegetable dish for their meals. On this day, they did not cook up another dish just because Eugene had shown up.Eugene looked at the two dishes presented before him. The food smelled nice, but the flame of rage was dwelling within his chest.He wanted to smash up all the dishes. 'What kind of life is she leading?!'However, he saw the little k
Fern knew that Eugene must have something he wanted to say to her seeing as he had deliberately made the trip to her house. However, it was inconvenient for him to talk to her about it in front of the child, so he ended up delaying it till now.She straightened her body, lifted her head, and looked straight at him. She said with a calm tone, "Spit it out."Eugene got even angrier when he saw her being so calm. He took out a cigarette and lit it to prevent himself from losing control again.His towering body leaned on the car. He took a long drag on the cigarette and after letting out the smoke, his sharp almond eyes stared at Fern as he said, "Why are you living in such a terrible place with the child? Are you lacking money?"Fern looked into his eyes for a few seconds before smiling. "It’s not the first time you’re learning of my poor financial state.”'How can she still smile?!'Eugene frowned and was still staring at her."What about your salary for being an ambassador? Didn'
His fierce aura made her hold her breath. His comment had made her blush, but her anger made her subconsciously lift her hand to slap him."Shut your mouth!" 'If I wanted to climb my way up through sleeping around, I would have long ago been a celebrity by now.'There was a red slap mark on Eugene's fair and handsome face. His deep almond eyes glinted coldly. Eugene, who always seemed very elegant and gentle, was currently giving off a scary vibe."I forbid you from acting, you hear me?!" He could not suppress his temper when he faced Fern and immediately gave his order.Fern's body trembled as he looked a little scary now. It was just that it would be impossible for her not to be angry with him when he stated such an overbearing request.She shoved his hand away with force and tried her best to remain calm, saying, "You can't control me!""I dare you to disobey me." The man's eyes glinted with a fit of cool anger.Fern felt her breath becoming uneven as she forced herself to lo
“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
