Simon merely pinched her face as he said, “Go on. Wait for me on the sofa.”“Alright.” She was being very obedient and decided not to disrupt his work anymore.She took out her phone and browsed on it for a while before getting bored. Then, she played some games to pass the time. Perhaps she was too tired from working recently and had not gotten enough sleep, so she unknowingly fell asleep on the sofa.While she was deep in slumber, she suddenly felt a heavy force pressing down on her…Sharon abruptly opened her eyes, thinking that she was dreaming. She did not expect to see the man leaning close to her to kiss her as soon as she opened her eyes.She subconsciously lifted her hands to block him by his shoulders, and her drowsiness dissipated into thin air. “Wh-What on earth are you doing?”The man’s eyes were unfathomably dangerous when he uttered, “Who gave you permission to fall asleep here?”“Can’t I take a nap for a while?” Why was he so petty?“Sure. But it’ll make me thin
Inside the lounge of the president’s office, Sharon had just taken a shower. Her long dark hair was draped across her back as she put her clothes on in front of the mirror.Simon walked over and wrapped his arms around her waist. When he lowered his head and saw her neckline, he noticed the mark he had left behind. His eyes grew dimmer once more.When the man closed in on her, his strong and masculine air enveloped her again, making all of her nerves tighten unconsciously.She subconsciously pulled his hands off her and turned to glare at him, scoffing. “That’s enough! I’m hungry and tired now!”Seeing her being so defensive, Simon could not help but curl his lips into a smile as he said, “I’m not a hungry wolf that’ll swallow you whole, so why are you so terrified of me?”Sharon pouted her lips irritably. From her point of view, his behavior was not that different from a hungry wolf anyway.He stretched his arms out and wrapped the petite woman into his embrace once more. “I’ll
“Assistant?” Howard suddenly let out a sneer, “Well, you’ve done all you could to be a good assistant to him, but he still pays no heed to an assistant like you. Otherwise, you wouldn’t have to throw this packet of food into the trash.”Xena’s expression appeared unnatural at the moment. She was somewhat ashamed, feeling as though her secrets had been exposed. However, she still tried to save her dignity and painstakingly explained, “President Zachary wanted to eat out, so of course, he doesn’t need this packet of takeout food anymore.”“So why didn’t he take you with him?” Howard still had the half-smile on his face.“I… I’m just his assistant anyway, so I’m not qualified—”“You are qualified. We all know that you’re not just some small-time assistant. You call Penelope ‘Aunt’ sometimes and call Simon by his name. It’s after work hours now, so why can’t he take you out for a meal?” Howard interrupted her sentence.Xenia was already utterly vexed in her heart. Upon hearing his wor
Sharon and Simon were sitting down in the restaurant and had just ordered their food. The second the waitress left, a frantic figure burst in and hurried toward Sharon.“Tell me, Sienna! Did you let Fern sign into a f*cking entertainment company?!” Eugene suddenly appeared before them with a sullen face. When Sharon was faced with his violent questioning, it was as if she had mentally prepared herself and was not at all anxious about it. She merely beckoned to her brother to sit and asked, “Have you eaten, Brother? Why don’t you sit down and have a meal with us? It’s your brother-in-law’s treat.”Eugene cast a glance at Simon. Brother-in-law, she said? Hmph, he had not given his consent just yet!He still sat down, but he did not plan on ordering. He continued to question her, “You have to explain things clearly to me…”“You’re right. I helped your sweetheart sign with Simon’s entertainment company and found her the best agent she could get in this industry. Now the company will
“You must be Miss Thompson’s suitor, aren’t you, young man?” the woman from daycare asked with a smile.Eugene did not admit nor deny it. He merely took out his business card and handed it to her, saying, “This is my business card. If you’re worried about handing the child over to me, feel free to give me a call anytime.”The woman from daycare took the card and noticed that he was actually from the Newton family!In this city, who on earth had never heard of the Newton family?“I’m not worried at all. You may send Rue home today,” said the older woman with a smile.Eugene took Rue into the car and brought her out to have dinner.“What do you want to eat?” Eugene gently asked the little girl sitting on the passenger seat as he maneuvered the steering wheel.Rue placed her backpack aside and fastened her seatbelt as she sat upright on the seat. Then, after thinking hard about it, she said, “I saw a pizza advertisement on TV the other day. The pizza had fruits and barbecued meat a
It was dinner time, so the pizzeria was almost filled to the brim with customers.Eugene came in with Rue in his arms, and the two of them attracted quite a lot of attention for a long while.The man was nearly 1.9 meters tall and had an exquisite face. His branded trousers that were of excellent quality were wrapped around his long legs, and he had the figure of a male model. However, his noble-like air was by no means comparable to any other ordinary male models. The most dreadfully charming part of him was the way he held the doll-like little girl in his arms. The entire scene was too enchanting to the eyes.Many of the ladies present were admiring the view, nearly shrieking out loud.“Woah! Look at the man carrying that little girl! Isn’t he too drop-dead gorgeous? What a lucky doll to have such a handsome father!” The young woman next to him could not help but gasp in admiration. She merely wished that she was his daughter too.“I’m guessing that he must be a slave to his d
Eugene breathed a sigh of relief. It turned out that the child was just too agitated, not terrified. Plus, it seemed like she was not planning on rejecting him.He nodded and said, “Yes.”“Then… can I call you ‘Dad’ now?” She had always wanted a dad.Dad? Well, it sounded much better than ‘Godfather’ anyway, so he immediately agreed. “Sure. Then you can call me ‘Dad’ from now on.”Rue was delighted that she immediately called out to him. “Dad!”When Eugene heard the little doll-like girl calling him ‘Dad’, his heart melted into a pool of confused emotions. It turned out having a daughter was such a peculiar and wonderful feeling.When Fern found them, she happened to hear her daughter calling Eugene her dad. There was trepidation in her heart, and she was petrified.“Rue? Wha-What did you just call him?” She could not hide the panic and shock in her eyes. She was pointing at Eugene, but her eyes were fixed on her daughter.She felt her limbs going cold, as though the blood in
Eugene’s voice was not considered loud by any means, but Fern was still choked up by his cold tone.She glared at him without making a sound, but her anger was suppressed in her chest.Rue did not understand why they had suddenly started quarreling, so she cautiously tugged on her mother’s sleeve and said softly, “Don’t be angry, Mom. It was my fault. I pestered Uncle into inviting me out for a meal. Don’t blame him for it.”Eugene looked at the little girl. Even at this point, she was still putting in good words for him and pinning all of the blame on herself. She was so considerate, so how could anyone not be fond of this little girl?Fern was well aware of her daughter’s personality. However, Eugene had only invited her to a meal twice yet she was already speaking up for him?She did not want to be in an argument with Eugene in front of her daughter, so she merely turned and left with her. She did not pay him any more attention.The man was simply unfathomable!However, as so
“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
