Sharon looked at the reporter who asked the question. Considering she had the guts to release her perfume into the market as per scheduled and expose DK’s crime publicly, it was a given that she had come fully prepared.“I wouldn’t be making this incident public if I didn’t have the evidence. But I guess I’m also to blame for trusting the wrong person. I was betrayed by my own assistant. She secretly sold my formula to DK and I’ve already sent her to the police station for this.”The reason why she was conveying all of this through the media was to set an example for everyone. It was also to let the people in the same industry know that she would not allow herself to be bullied even though her brand had just been established and she was a newcomer.“Also, I already have a lawyer and DK should be expecting summons from the court soon.” What she meant by this was that she was going to sue DK. Noting her victory in hand, everyone also believed that she was the victim while DK was t
Fern was at a shoot for the newest advertisement for Sharon’s perfume. She was not in the best condition and the director had called cut many times now. When the shooting finally ended, the sky was already dark.Sharon had been watching at the side the whole time, but she did not blame Fern for her lackluster performance today. After the day’s work, she turned to Fern and said, “Go get dressed. I’ll treat you to dinner tonight.”Fern felt guilty about having dragged everyone’s work progress and was embarrassed to accept her invitation to dinner. “It's alright, I’ll just simply have dinner at home. Thank you, though.”“You need to take better care of yourself. Look at you, you’re already so thin. If you still don’t eat, you’re going to faint.” Sharon refused her rejection and continued, “We’ll head back and bring Rue with us for dinner. I haven’t seen her in a while.”Fern was thinking of rejecting Sharon’s offer. She looked at Sharon, wanting to say something but ended up stopp
Simon read the contents of the text on the phone. [Sienna, don’t let Austin take control of the corporation.]The text came from an anonymous sender and was sent from an unrecognized number. At that moment, she could not be certain whether or not it was sent to her by Eugene.She had no choice but to let Simon see the text.“What do you think? Was this sent to me by my brother?”Simon’s brows furrowed as he stared at the text, muttering, “It’s possible.”“In that case, he was indeed rescued by someone after the accident. But he can’t show himself for some reason?”“Call this number and see if anyone picks up,” Simon suggested.Sharon had already thought of doing that earlier, so she immediately made the call.“It’s an unregistered number.” She was astonished. If it really was Eugene, then why did he cancel the number the moment he sent the text?“I’ll get Franky to look up this number,” said Simon.“The question now is whether I should follow what’s written in the text?” This
Sharon saw that the seats at the two sides of the conference table were full of people. She did not recognize all those uncles in the Newton family at all.Despite everyone there having their eyes on them, she continued holding onto Simon as they walked in.She went straight over to Quinn Newton. “Grandpa, Simon is already my husband. You usually say that we’re all a family anyway, so why can’t I attend the meeting with him? Unless you were only casually saying such things without actually considering him as part of the family?”Quinn narrowed his old eyes and gave her a sidelong glance. He had not even opened his mouth to say anything, yet she already poisoned the well. She really knew how to take preemptive measures!“Sienna, it’s not like that. Although the Zacharies are already considered part of the family, we’re having a Newton family meeting today. Everyone here is a Newton,” Germaine said again.“Stepmother, if you say that only Newtons have the right to attend this meetin
After Sharon said those words, the conference room immediately became so silent that even the sound of a needle being dropped could be heard.She could not help but become nervous at the looks her old and cunning uncles were casting her way. The situation at the moment was tough to face!At this moment, Simon, who had been standing one step behind her the entire time, reached out his hand and clasped hers. Feeling the warmth and strength transmitting from the man’s palms, she instantly gained some confidence.Clap, clap, clap…When nobody said a word, Jim was the first to applaud. He was smiling gleefully as he said, “Sharon, you have guts. I support you!”She actually dared to tell these stubborn old Newtons that she wanted to take Eugene’s place. This bold act could not go unacknowledged! The moment he spoke, the others snapped out of their daze. However, they were still so stunned that they were momentarily at a loss for words.“Jimmy, don’t add to the chaos!” Germaine could
“I realize that you really don’t understand what I said just now, Stepmother. I told you just now that he’s my special consultant. Of course, I’ll be the one managing the company. He’ll only provide me with suggestions and assistance. Do you still need me to explain further?”Germaine shut up indignantly. Was the girl implying that she was dumb?“That’s too much of a hassle. How’s that efficient?” an uncle questioned disdainfully. “Uncle, are you doubting President Zachary’s management skills? Or are you doubting his efficiency?” Sharon asked sharply.The man’s face sank. He had nothing to say to that.Everyone present knew that there was a great disparity between Newton Corporation and the Zachary family’s corporation, which Simon was managing. Simon’s straightforward and efficient style of management was renowned in the field. The fact that he would help oversee their corporation was a great honor!However, they were still a family corporation after all. It was only normal t
Sharon had bought Eugene a month. She really hoped that he would show up after a month as she found the old men in the family difficult to deal with. She had also rid Austin of his chance to climb up the ladder. Although he was not speaking up, he was probably cursing her in his mind at the moment.“Grandpa, what do you think about this plan?” Sharon pretended to be docile. Quinn’s face was stony, and he eyed her expressionlessly without answering her question directly. He merely opted to read the contract he was holding.With this contract, they would not need to worry that Simon would seize Newton Corporation.The other uncles were not as against it as before as well. However, they were not agreeing to it, either.“Since we have a solicitor here, why don’t we sign an agreement stating that you’ll only be temporarily taking over the corporation from Eugene, and I’ll be the one holding management rights while you’ll only execute my decisions on my behalf? You have to report imp
Quinn coughed heavily. “If you have no objections, please help me watch over Sienna until Eugene’s return. The corporation is not a place for games nor experiments.”Sharon was on the verge of retaliating. The old man had said nothing good to her even after she had asked Simon to help her manage the corporation. Now, he was even saying those insulting words when he absolutely did not need to!“Rest assured, Old Master Newton. My fiancée knows her bounds. You should put your trust in her,” Simon said in a distant but also polite way.Sharon and Simon signed the agreement and the contract respectively in front of the solicitor and all the uncles from the Newton family.After the meeting, everyone went their own way.Sharon held Simon’s hand as they walked to the door. She turned to look at him a few times, the corners of her mouth curled up in mirth.Simon stopped in his tracks. He looked down at her with his dark, intense eyes. “If you have something to say, just say it. Don’t kee
“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
