Sharon turned over to look, but before she could say anything, Sebastian had already gotten up. He looked at Rue without blinking.“My little cousin? Are you the cousin they’re talking about?”Eugene leaned down to put Rue on the ground and said softly, “Sebastian is your cousin. Go ahead and play with him.”Rue had a fear of strangers, so she was reluctant to go over. Instead, Sebastian was the one who walked up to her and held her hand, saying, “My name is Sebastian. What’s yours?”“I… I’m Rue.” The girl’s voice was soft and sweet; it was so very lovely. It suddenly made Sebastian protective of her.“Then I’ll be calling you Rue, and you can call me Seb.” Sebastian had always wanted a younger sister, but Mommy told him that he was the only one she ever needed. At least now, he was finally able to be an older brother.“Seb.” Rue was so polite, and it made Sebastian feel like he ought to do an excellent job as a big brother. He would never allow anyone to bully her!Sharon loo
Simon walked straight to Sharon and sat down next to her. Then, he unhurriedly replied to Eugene’s words, “How could I ever let that happen?”He saw the diamond crown given by Eugene, and those big shining diamonds could genuinely blind someone’s eyes.He picked it up, put it on Sharon’s head, and looked at it in scrutiny before saying, “Well, it’s truly extravagant.”Why did his tone sound somewhat odd?“Doesn’t it look good?” she asked.“It’s not that it doesn’t look good. But a princess wearing a queen’s crown is a little…” He did not finish the sentence. However, it was apparent that the rest of the things he left unsaid were not a compliment.Eugene raised his eyebrows and glanced coldly at Simon. Was he trying to say that he was terrible at picking out gifts?“You just verbally said that you wouldn’t bully Shar. I guess that your words can’t entirely be trusted. How about calling me ‘Brother’ too, hmm? So that you’ll remember she still has a big brother looking out for her
Sharon could see that there was a slight change in Eugene’s expression. She hurriedly pressed her lips into a smile and said, “Hehe. That’s true as well. Go ahead and get some rest.”The maid took Fern to the guest room. Eugene stood up as well, saying, “I’ll go with her.” As soon as he said this, he followed Fern from behind.Sharon noticed him quickening his pace to catch up to Fern, but Fern was blatantly ignoring him.She merely shook her head and sighed.“Why are you still sighing after receiving so many presents?” Simon looked at her with a somewhat amused expression.“I’m sighing for my big brother. Look at how cold Fern is toward him. I’m afraid he’ll have to work hard from now on to get his woman.”Simon looked over as well and said, “He’s merely reaping what he has sown. It’s only right he’s suffering.”Simon thought about the time when Eugene did not expose the fact that he was Sharon’s brother in the past. He deliberately made Simon jealous by pretending to be so int
Sharon was inevitably surprised to see Xena. After all, she was no longer Simon’s assistant. Moreover, she recalled that Xena was not on the guest list.However, she knew that Xena was one of Penelope’s underlings.Penelope had made it clear that she would not be giving them her blessing even if the other Zachary family’s relatives were present.As such, did Xena attend on her own? Did she come on behalf of Penelope? Sharon was more afraid if it were the former.The man’s hot breath brushed past her ear and a low voice sounded. “What are you looking at?” Simon clasped her waist with one hand as he looked in the direction she was looking.She abruptly regained her senses and shook her head, saying, “It’s nothing. I’m a little hungry, that’s all. I think dinner has been served?”“Then let’s get something to eat,” he said while placing his arm around her waist and walking toward the food section.They had prepared a lot of delicacies for tonight’s party, and it was buffet-style.
He could only imagine how happy Sharon must be tonight and how beautiful she looked in her dress.It would not be long now. A couple more hours later, she would belong to him!“If you need anything, spit it out. If you have nothing to say, I’d like to go back to the party.” Xena was indeed in a bad mood.Howard sneered, “Back to the party? Can you even stand watching them being all over each other?”“Why can’t I? I’m the one who’ll become his bride tomorrow!” Xena felt a glimmer of hope again as soon as she said this out loud.“Don’t be too happy. It’s still early. The deed is not done just yet, so anything can happen,” Howard reminded her.“That’s not an option. I’ve promised to cooperate with you, so you have to guarantee me the success of the plan. If I can’t be his bride tomorrow, I’ll make sure things won’t end well for you either!” Xena was pressing on her luck.“My plan is flawless, but it’ll depend on whether you can complete your end of the deal tomorrow. I’m merely rem
Even Sharon did not realize that Joey had returned with food. She could feel the atmosphere becoming tense almost instantly. Crap! Simon had let it slip!Moreover, since they were bystanders, it would be inconvenient for them to chime in.Summer could feel her heartstrings tightening up when faced with Joey’s cold gaze. She always knew that he did not want children, hence the main reason why she decided to keep the news of her pregnancy under wraps.She forced herself to show a smile. She wanted to say that they were merely joking around and he had misunderstood them.However, Joey had selected all kinds of seafood dishes on the plate meant for Summer. The smell assailed her nostrils and she could not help but cover up her mouth, trying to stop herself from vomiting!She could not allow herself to vomit right here. She immediately covered her mouth and ran toward the palm tree forest on the side…Joey’s expression sank upon witnessing this. He tossed the plate on the dining tab
“You’re such a fool. It’s my child. How could I not want it?”“But…”“Let’s get married.” Before she could finish her words, he suddenly said such earth-shattering words. Summer was completely taken aback. She stared at him without blinking, unable to speak for quite some time.After a while, she managed to find her voice back and she asked, “Wh-What did you say?”Joey raised his hand and tucked the stray strands of hair on her cheek that had been blown by the wind behind her ear. He looked at her calmly and slowly said, “We’ll get married, and I’ll give our child a complete home.”Summer felt her nose turning sore as she pounced herself into his embrace. She sounded somewhat choked up when she said, “Joey…”She had indeed not fallen for the wrong person, after all. He was a man worthy of her love and all her sacrifices.…The pre-wedding party lasted quite late, and many of them were drunk.Sharon had a lot to drink tonight as well. If it were not because she was worried ab
After some time, the makeup artist was done with Sharon’s exquisite bridal makeup.“You’re truly an angel that fell from heaven!” Riley could not help but gasp in admiration. She pulled Sharon over and looked at her from head to toe before saying, “Especially with the wedding dress that I designed for you, you look simply stunning!”Sharon could not help but giggle. “Are you complimenting me or your wedding dress?”“Hey, those aren’t the right words to say. What do you mean my wedding dress? This dress obviously belongs to you. So if I praise you, that just means I’m praising the wedding dress as well. In short, my compliments all point back to you.”“So talkative,” said Sharon as she poked Riley’s forehead with her finger.“Shar, I’ve been to three of your weddings now. You’re so fortunate to have a best friend like me.”When she gave it further thought, Riley was right. She had indeed been to all three of her weddings, and she was the only one who had never left her. Sharon was
“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
