Sharon abruptly pushed him away while staring into his eyes. Then, she said somewhat nervously, “Wh-What do you mean by that? Are you truly trying to take revenge on me?”Simon was genuinely getting pissed off by her and lifted his hand to knock on her head once more. “You bloody stupid woman.”She rubbed on her head in pain and glared at him. “Why are you cursing at me?”“You deserve it after saying such a thing. Did you become this stupid after meeting Howard?” He wondered why she suddenly brought these things up. Howard must have said something to her.“Ho-How am I the stupid one? I was genuinely asking you the question!”“And Howard was the one who planted this idea in your head, right?” He quickly exposed her.Sharon pursed her lips in silence. Was he even able to guess this?“Well, he did.”Simon sneered at her, “And you ate it all up? Are you stupid?”“I don’t believe him, but I merely wanted to ask you anyway.”Once she uttered these words, the man leaned in front of
Upon hearing her words, Simon ultimately placed his pen down and looked up at her.He narrowed his eagle-like eyes in scrutiny and evidently did not believe anything she was saying. “Did you just say Penelope asked you to come over to help me out???”Penelope had not consented to his marriage with Sharon from the very beginning, so why on earth would she have sent Xena over to help out?There were no changes in Xena’s expression even under the scrutiny of his sharp gaze. “Yes. Aunt Penelope has decided to be more open-minded about this, and she knows that she shouldn’t stop you from getting married. After all, the two of you are still siblings. Blood will always be thicker than water. So no matter what happens, she’ll give you her blessing if you’re to get married.”Frankly speaking, Penelope was still furious over this and refused to give Simon and Sharon her blessing. Xena was the one who had persuaded Penelope to stop being enraged over this.She was willing to act as an interm
Sharon stood by the entrance and knocked on the door. The man in the office barely lifted his head before saying, “Come in.”She did not tell him that she would be coming today, so the man did not lift his head until she reached the front of his desk.“Why are you here?” Simon was somewhat surprised to see her.“It seems like you’re not very welcoming?”He put his pen down and leaned his long, stalwart body back against the chair. His calm, obsidian eyes were staring straight into her.“Come here,” he said, inviting her over to him.Sharon curled her lips and happily walked over to him without saying another word. She immediately sat on his lap.The man stared at her with a faint smile, saying, “How brazen. So you’re no longer afraid that we’re in the office, hmm?”Not only was she taking the initiative to sit on his lap, but she was even wrapping her hands around his neck. “Since I’ll soon be the boss’ wife anyway, I don’t think your subordinates will have any comments on me s
No matter how she looked at it, Xena did not seem like the type to resign.“How come?”“I’m getting married, so I shouldn’t be keeping any other women by my side, lest my wife gets jealous.” Was he calling her the jealous wife now?“She’s just an assistant anyway, so why should I be jealous? Besides, she’s been working with you for two years now. Even if you’re getting married, it shouldn’t be affecting her job.” However, she could sense that things were not as simple as they seemed.Her chin started hurting from being pinched by his long fingers. The man’s handsome face closed in on her. His low voice sounded somewhat dangerous when he said, “Mrs. Zachary, do you not care at all if there are other women next to me?”Sharon’s mouth started twitching slightly. How did they arrive at this topic?Since he was reluctant to explain things, she did not want to ask further as well. After all, Xena had resigned and she was no longer his assistant.“Can you be a little more serious? I’m
In fact, Simon had come over to see her before. It was just that she had forgotten all about it.No, wait. Precisely speaking, she did not know who he was at the time as the shooting had overly stimulated her. She had lost control of her thoughts and emotions that she even harmed Simon.“I’ll bring him over to see you in two days,” said Sharon in a low voice.“As you should. He wants to marry you, so how could he not pay a visit to his mother-in-law?” Autumn said while taking her hand and continuing, “Sienna, marriage shouldn’t be done so casually. Don’t try to please your parents and marry the wrong guy, just like how I married Caleb Newton back then. He left me with nothing but regrets. You can’t marry him if you don’t love him.”Sharon noticed that every time her mother talked about her father, she had the same annoyed and hateful expression on her face. It was as if they were mortal enemies.The resentment between her parents was no longer something she could figure out since
“Yes, Old Master.” Kelly turned and went upstairs.Sharon sat down in confusion, asking, “What are you going to give me?”“Why are you in such a hurry? You’ll know soon,” said the old man with the same grim expression on his face. Sharon pursed her lips. Fine, she would stop asking. There was no need for him to show such a face.After a while, Kelly came down holding onto a big box. It even looked like a costly mahogany gift box.“What’s that?” She became more curious now.Quinn did not say a word and merely cast a meaningful look at Kelly.Kelly brought the mahogany box in front of Sharon and opened it.When she saw what was inside, Sharon was immediately startled. “What… do you mean by this?”“Miss, this is a custom-made gold crown that the old master got for a hefty price. There are eight gold bracelets as well with unique patterns engraved on them. They’re all specially made by someone that the old master had hired. They’re wedding gifts to you.”“Wedding gifts to me?” S
Truthfully, Sharon had a bad feeling as soon she laid her eyes on Howard. Especially when he had that insincere half-smile on his face. He looked as if he was hiding some secrets.However, it was hard to tell if he was having any malicious thoughts just by looking at him.“If you’re sincere about this, I’ll accept your blessing,” she said dimly.Howard was staring straight at her indifferent profile, and the smirk on his lips was still there. He looked somewhat cynical now. He narrowed his eyes and lowered his voice, saying, “I’m going to ask you one more time, Shar. Have you truly made up your mind to marry my uncle?”Sharon cast a glance at him, and her tone still sounded dim when she said, “Can’t you see that everything has already been determined by now? Do you think that we’re playing house here?”Howard was silent for a while before letting out a chuckle. “So, you’ve decided not to take everything I said to you before to heart? Wait, I think it’s more accurate to say that yo
Sharon hugged Riley back and noticed the staff behind her. She was somewhat puzzled as she asked, “What are you up to?”“Can’t you tell? I’m here with your wedding dress.” Riley looked utterly excited as she asked the staff to open the gift box.“And your husband’s suit, of course.” She pointed to another massive box at the back.The four staff members carefully took the wedding dress out and showed it to Sharon.“Is… this not too exaggerated?” As soon as Sharon laid her eyes on the dress, she discovered how dazzling it was. The long, circular train was inlaid with tiny diamonds. They went all the way up to the chest.“Not at all. This is your third wedding, after all. Since it’s so special, the wedding dress has to be blindingly dazzling as well.”Sharon could not tell whether she wanted to laugh or cry. What on earth was Riley trying to imply here?“Try it on and see if it fits.” Riley was dragging her away to try on the wedding dress.“It’s too soon to wear it…”“No. You ha
“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
