He sat down on the sofa and crossed his long legs casually. He tapped the table with his slender fingers and said, “You can speak now.” The door of the lounge was closed, and Joey did not come in with them. He was guarding the door instead. “The last batch of goods we bought was intercepted by that old snake’s people. I sent someone to ask for it, but he pretended to be confused and told me that they didn't know it was our goods. The goods have now been taken by them,” Summer said. She was still angry over this incident. Simon tapped his fingers against the table as his sharp gaze darkened. “Does he want to start a fight?” he asked. “I don’t think it’s that simple. Otherwise, he wouldn’t dare intercept our goods.”Simon’s expression darkened. “I’ll ask Franky to handle this issue,” he said. Summer thought about it for a while and then said, “That’s good as well. It’d be best if we find out what the heck he intends to do.”She steadied her breathing and drank some water
Sharon thought that something had happened to her son, so she rushed over to him as soon as she heard his yells. “Mommy, look! This is a starfish. It just got washed up by the waves!” Sebastian exclaimed in surprise as he pointed at a red starfish on the beach. Sharon lowered her head and took a closer look. It was really a starfish. She let out a sigh of relief. She thought something had happened to him. “Mommy, it’s still moving! It’s alive!” Sebastian excitedly cried out as he grabbed her hand. “You said that it just got washed up by the waves. It isn’t surprising that it’s still alive,” Sharon said. It was her first time seeing a live starfish as well. “Mommy, I want to keep it as a pet. Is that alright?” “Of course,” she said. “I’ll go back to look for a jar so that we can put it in. Look after it,” she added. “Alright. Hurry up, Mommy,” he said. He was afraid that the starfish would die. Sharon asked Riley to look after Sebastian. She then ran back to look
Summer smiled and said, “You guys should go ahead. I’m slightly seasick, so I want to rest early.” Joey started getting anxious when she said that. He walked to her side immediately and asked, “Miss, are you alright?” Summer, who had always been a tough woman, supported her forehead with a hand. She looked extremely weak. “I’m not feeling well,” she said. Joey’s expression stiffened. “I’ll send you up to take some rest,” he said anxiously. “President Zachary, please get someone to bring us to our rooms,” he told Simon. Simon glanced at Summer. She was not seasick, but... He did not say much. He called a staff member over and asked him to bring them to their rooms. Sharon really thought that Summer was not feeling well due to her seasickness. She politely told Summer to rest well before dragging Simon to the beach at once. “Mommy, why are you as slow as a snail? My starfish is about to die!” Sebastian huffed when he saw Sharon who was late. “It won’t die that qu
“Simon, what… What is that?” Sharon asked. She let go of him and pointed at the blue luminescent spots on the surface of the ocean. After a while, the few luminescent spots gradually increased. The spots of light surrounded the shore like stars that had fallen into the ocean… What a dreamy scene! “They’re jellyfish,” Simon said with a faint smile. “Jellyfish?” “Yes, I heard that glowing jellyfish would appear here at night. I thought that such a scene would be extremely special and you’d definitely like it. That’s why I bought this island.” “You…” she stuttered as she turned around to look at the well-defined features on his handsome face. She never expected him to be so thoughtful. A gush of warmth surged through her. Her hands remained circled around his neck. “If you continue treating me so well, I won’t know how to repay you,” she said.“You can get married to me,” he said intently. She was slightly dazed. He wrapped his arm around her waist and raised her chin.
He stared at her red lips. To him, they were such a temptation. He could not resist lowering his head to kiss her. Sharon was pressed against the floor-to-ceiling window. “Don’t… Someone will see,” she said. He did not care if someone else saw them, but since she minded, he had no choice but to carry her in his arms and walk toward the other room while kissing her. His intentions were clear. She blushed as she evaded his kisses. “What are you doing? Sebastian is sleeping in the room,” she said. “I know.” He had already placed her on the bed when she came to her senses once again... Right now, she did not care about the relationship between Summer and her best friend. She gradually lost herself in his deep kiss. ...Riley crossed her arms in front of her chest under the tree in the garden. There was a cold expression on her face. Summer looked straight at her and asked her once again, “Have you really thought it through? Have you decided not to go back with me?”
Sharon was staring into Simon’s eyes when someone knocked on the door. Sebastian’s voice rang out from outside the door. “Daddy, Mommy, are you inside?” “Sebastian is here. Help me get up at once.” Simon carried her up and placed her on the bed. He trapped her with his arms and inched closer to her. “What happened to your legs? Let me take a look,” he said. Sharon stopped him before he could touch her legs. “I’m fine. I just lost my balance,” she said in embarrassment. “Are you sure?” She felt his breath against her face. It was affecting her badly. Her ears heated up as she pushed him off awkwardly. “I’m really fine. Go open the door. I need to change my clothes.” Their son had always been impatient. He started hitting the door since no one responded to him! “Mommy, open the door! I know that you’re inside. You guys are way too mean. We agreed to sleep together. Why did you guys abandon me and let me sleep alone again?”Sebastian had woken up alone this morning.
Sharon recalled that Riley and Summer had been talking to each other at the garden yesterday night. However, they were acting like they did not know each other in front of everyone else. She could not help but find it suspicious. However, from the way Riley was behaving, it seemed like she did not intend to tell her about it. “Shar, Sebastian, why are you guys so late? The seafood that was caught this morning is no longer fresh,” Riley said. “Wow! There’s a lobster!” Sebastian exclaimed with widened eyes when he noticed all the different types of seafood arranged on the table. “Here, have some seafood stew first. The fish and prawns in the stew were freshly caught from the ocean this morning,” Riley said as she helped them fill up their bowls.“We can fish here?” Sharon asked Simon. “Yes, I asked the cooks to catch some fresh seafood from the ocean to prepare a seafood feast for our breakfast today.”“That means that we can eat fish whenever we want to?”Simon nodded and
Simon was just about to order the cooks to prepare a different breakfast for Summer when she rejected his offer. “There’s no need for that. I don’t have an appetite, so I don’t feel like eating anything,” she said.“You can’t do that. You must eat some food, at least. Furthermore, you still need to take the yacht back later,” Simon said. He was being nosier than usual because she was pregnant now. Even if she did not feel like eating, her child still had to eat.Sharon looked at them. She knew that Simon had an exceptional friendship with Summer. It was no wonder that she had misunderstood their relationship in the past.As usual, Joey had a cool expression on his face. “You need to eat breakfast. I’ll make some for you,” he insisted in a firm voice.He asked the waiter to bring him to the kitchen. Summer could not stop him.“Wow, Aunt Summer, this bodyguard is really amazing. He can protect you and cook for you too. Can he do everything?” Sebastian remarked.Summer stared in the
“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
