Were the results of the paternity test out? His hand trembled uncontrollably as he reached out to take hold of his phone! Was Rue Thompson his daughter? Did he wish that she was his daughter? Eugene, who had experienced a near-death event, started feeling terrified at this moment!He did not accept the doctor’s first call. When he called a second time, Eugene only answered it after a moment of hesitation. “Hello?” After speaking, he realized that his throat was dry. It was slightly hoarse too.“President Eugene, the results of the paternity test are out. Based on the results, you and this girl—” “Wait!” Eugene suddenly shouted. His nerves were beyond tense, and his heart was racing as well. He pressed his hand against his chest, feeling like he could no longer handle this. “What’s wrong? President Eugene?” the doctor asked in a confused tone. Eugene took a few breaths to calm himself down. “Continue speaking,” he said. “Alright, you and this girl…” Eugene’s
Sharon headed to the floor that the president’s office was on once she arrived at Simon’s company. She bumped into Xena, who was coming out from the office, when she arrived at the entrance. Both of them almost ran into each other. They stopped in their tracks immediately. Before Sharon could say anything, Xena said, “You’re here, Sharon. Simon is waiting for you inside.” She flashed a radiant and harmless smile at her. Sharon could not stand her overly sweet smile. She smiled faintly at her and nodded her head to respond to her politely. She then walked into the office straight away. Xena glanced at Sharon’s figure with a smile on her face. Nevertheless, a cold glint was flashing across her eyes. She clenched her hands into fists and walked away silently. She must find out what kind of illness Sharon had! Since Sharon was here, Franky excused himself from the office. “Are you still busy?” she asked as she smiled, tilting her head to look at the handsome man sitt
Sharon and Simon returned to the Zachary household to pick up their son. Xena went along with them as well. Penelope was overjoyed when she heard that Simon would be returning home, but the smile on her face instantly disappeared when she saw Sharon with him. She did not know that Sharon would be coming over with him. This was the first time they were meeting each other since Sharon’s return.Penelope narrowed her eyes at Sharon as she glared at her coldly. She sneered at her mockingly, “Isn’t this Miss Newton from the Newton household? So are you Sienna Newton or Sharon Jeans now?” “Sister…” Simon said. He knew that she did not like Sharon, and he had expected that Penelope would make things difficult for her as well. He was just about to speak up for Sharon when he got interrupted by Penelope. “Don’t call me your sister. Do you still treat me as your sister? You announced your engagement without discussing anything with me prior. Let me tell you, I’ll never agree to th
“Is it possible for me not to be angry? Sharon Jeans hurt Simon so badly back then. How dare she come back and get married to him again? How can there be someone as shameless as her?” Penelope questioned angrily. It was getting harder for her to suppress the overwhelming fury within her. Xena had the same thoughts as Penelope. She did not understand how Sharon could be so shameless. Why would Simon fall for a woman like that? She pretended to comfort Penelope by speaking up for Sharon, “Aunt Penelope, perhaps we’ve yet to realize her strengths. Maybe she treats Simon extremely well. Otherwise, he wouldn’t refuse to marry anyone else except her. Just let them get married if they want to. Everything’s fine as long as Simon is happy,” she said. “From the moment I got to know her up till now, I’ve never discovered any of her strengths! She’s only a burden to Simon. This cannot be. I won’t allow them to get married!” Penelope shouted as she slammed her hand against the table. Xena
“Don’t you want to marry my uncle so badly because you like him?” he asked her in return. “I… Of course, it’s because I like him. I want to be his wife so that I can love him and take care of him!” Howard smiled and said, “You don’t have to be so perturbed. I believe that you don’t have any ulterior motives.” He managed to read her mind instantly. Xena huffed irritatedly and said, “If you like Sharon, pursue her yourself. If she agrees to get together with you, Simon won’t be able to stop her either. Why must you work with me?” “That’s because working together is the only way to separate them .” Xena looked at him in disbelief. She shook her head. “You’re being too full of yourself. Let me repeat myself once again. I won’t work with you. Please don’t harass me anymore,” she told him. After speaking, she turned around and left without a moment of hesitation. After taking two steps, she suddenly remembered something. She turned around to look at him. “What’s wrong
Sebastian immediately refuted after registering her words, “You can’t do that! We’re a family. How can you leave me behind and spend time on your own? It’s alright if you usually don’t bother about me, but you’re not even going to bring me on a holiday? I don’t agree!” He protested. It seemed like he had quite a number of complaints. He wanted to follow them no matter what. Sharon knocked on his head and said, “We didn’t say we’re not bringing you along. Why are you so agitated?” Sebastian hugged her arm and said, “Mommy, I won’t let go of you.” “Alright, alright. Hold onto me if you want to,” she said. She had not spent time with him for two years. He was now much more independent than he had been in the past. Since she was back now, she had to spend more time with her son. Simon felt the urge to pull Sebastian off Sharon when he saw him clinging to her so tightly. If it were not for the fact that they had not seen each other in such a long time, he would not allow t
It was an extremely simple sentence, but why did he sound so flirtatious when the words came out of his mouth? Right then, the sea breeze billowed through her hair. Simon’s breath was just beside her ear, and her heart started racing uncontrollably. His breath inched closer and closer to her as she tensed up. She closed her eyes instinctively. She was waiting for him to press his lips on hers... “Mommy! I learned how to make fruit juice!” Both of their lips were just about to touch. Their son’s sudden appearance shocked her so much that she pushed him off her reflexively! Simon frowned as he glared at the little rascal who was excitedly running over, completely oblivious that he had disturbed them! He already knew that things would not go his way if he brought this kid along! “Mommy, Mommy, look here. This is the juice that I just made,” Sebastian said as he carefully handed a glass of red fruit juice over to Sharon like he was offering her a treasure. Sharon low
Jim, who had gotten rejected by Riley, continued pestering her. “I can buy a nicer island than this. Don’t reject my offer!” he exclaimed. Riley scoffed and said, “I’m afraid you can’t afford it!” “How is that possible? I’m the third young master of the Newton household.” “So what if you’re the third young master? It’s just a title. You’re not the head of the family…” she said. Besides, he was an illegitimate child. “Are you looking down on me?” Jim asked with a frown. Riley was not one who took advantage of others. She waved her hand and said, “No, no. I wouldn’t dare look down on you.“Hey, wait for me, Shar…” Sharon and Simon had walked ahead. They did not want to listen to their lovers’ squabble. They got on the island, and someone was already waiting for them over there. “President Zachary, Miss Newton, you guys are here. The car has been prepared,” Manager Weiss, the person in charge of the island, told them. They got into the sightseeing car and heade
“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
