After Eugene went out, both of them did not say anything for some time. Sharon continued staring at him. She thought that he would give her an explanation.Nevertheless, he continued standing opposite her with an expression devoid of any emotions. It did not seem like he wanted to explain anything to her. However, he spoke up first. “What did you want to tell me?” he asked. Sharon’s heart lurched. It was alright if he did not have an explanation for her, but he did not even tell her a single word of concern. Instead, he asked her impatiently if anything was wrong. Was this his true side? Now that they had ended things, he was not even willing to act in front of her anymore. Was that why he could treat her so rudely now?Sharon took a deep breath as she suppressed her burgeoning anger. Nevertheless, she could not resist bunching up the blanket in her fists tightly. “Do you have nothing to say to me? Did you really hold a wedding ceremony with Xena and get married to her?”
However, a voice within her yelled out that this could not be! He could not be telling her the truth! She calmed herself down, wanting to give him another chance. She wanted to give herself another chance as well. “Do you have any hardships that I don’t know about? You’re just pretending to marry her, right?” she asked. Simon raised his eyes and stared at her. The dark orbs of his eyes were so calm that she had begun to lose hope. He saw the inkling of hope in her gaze. He did not want to shatter her hope, but… he had no choice but to end things harshly. “Didn't you see our marriage certificate? Do you think I would create a fake marriage certificate just to trick you?” he asked. He paused momentarily and continued, “Furthermore, Xena has been by my side for the past two years. There’s no reason for me to let her down.” Sharon’s heart lurched harshly. The inkling of hope within her went out completely. She could no longer keep lying to herself, saying that his marriage cer
Sharon thought that the poison in her body had been fully detoxified. However, Simon was now saying that this was not the case! It was no wonder that her body was still in such a bad condition. She still felt weak all the time. Simon noticed that Sharon’s expression had worsened. “The antidote consists of two doses. You’ve only had the first dose. The other dose… I’ll get it for you sometime later,” he could not stop himself from telling her. To prevent her from being overly worried and afraid, there were some things that she did not need to know about. It was impossible for him to wait for the kidnappers to send the antidote over themselves. He had already asked Franky to track their whereabouts.Sharon’s eyes gradually landed on him. He felt suffocated when he caught sight of the empty look in her gaze.“That’s why you can’t leave now,” Simon said as he met her gaze.“If you hate me that much, why are you looking for an antidote for me?”Simon pursed his lips as a dark gli
He breathed in deeply before finally saying something after a long pause, “Go! Leave right now!” he yelled out in a low and hoarse voice. As soon as he finished speaking, he turned away from her to face the window. The lone silhouette of his back seemed cold and indifferent, but his heart was throbbing in pain. Eugene huffed coldly and walked to Sharon’s side. He removed the knife from her hand carefully and said, “Sienna, let’s go. I’ll take you home.”Sharon still had an intravenous drip fixed to her hand. Eugene had no choice but to carry her and place her in the wheelchair. He then brought the catheter along with him. Simon tensed up when he heard the noise behind him. Even so, he forbade himself from turning around.He heard the sound of the door opening. Then, the sound of Eugene pushing the wheelchair out resonated through the room.He remained tense until the room fell silent. He would make the kidnappers and those who plotted against him pay for everything! “Sienna!”
Sharon was sent to the emergency room. Two hours later, the doctor came out.“Doctor, how is she?” Eugene, who had been outside the entire time, walked over and asked.Simon was there as well. There was a cold expression on his face as he fixed a sharp gaze on the doctor.“We’ve controlled the effects of the poison for the time being. Her life isn’t in danger, but the poison must be detoxified as soon as possible. Otherwise, something like this will happen again. If it happens too frequently, she won’t be able to take it.”The doctor was being kind with his words, but they all understood what he meant. If this persisted, Sharon’s life would be in danger.“Detoxify the poison in her body then! Why can’t you get rid of it?!” Eugene shouted out. Blinded by his anger, he had forgotten that the doctors here had no way of formulating the antidote.Simon’s face tensed up. He turned around and walked away without saying anything.Eugene’s gaze darkened. He took a few steps over and grab
Simon narrowed his eyes. “Where are they? I want to interrogate them personally,” he said in a cold and heavy voice.He had never given up on catching the kidnappers. He could not get threatened by them forever.“Follow me,” Franky said, leading him away at once.Simon followed Franky to a secret room where the four kidnappers had been gagged. They were squatting on the ground with their hands tied.They raised their heads and saw Simon entering the room. A hint of fear flashed across their faces.Simon stared at them coldly, giving off an icy and dangerous aura.One of his subordinates placed a chair before him so that he could sit down. Meanwhile, a few burly bodyguards who were clad in black stood behind him.“Tell me, where’s the antidote?” Simon questioned as he sat down. It seemed like this would be a long interrogation.He tore off the duct tape on the kidnappers’ mouths, allowing them to talk now.“We don’t know,” the leftmost kidnapper said. Simon glanced at Franky.
Simon walked out of the secret room with an overcast expression. His piercing eyes were as dark as the night.The calmer he seemed, the more afraid Franky was. He followed behind him cautiously.He had thought they would get information about the antidote if they managed to catch the kidnappers. However, the people that he had caught were all useless underlings.Never mind the antidote, they did not have much useful information at all.“President Zachary, about those kidnappers… What should we do with them?” Franky asked him, trying to test the waters.Simon continued walking forward with an impassive expression on his face. He cast a sideways glance at Franky when he arrived at the door. “What do you think?” he asked him in a chilly tone.From his expression and demeanor, Franky knew that he should not anger him right now. These kidnappers had hurt Sharon… He would not let them go easily.“Understood. I’ll handle them accordingly,” Franky said. He had been by Simon’s side for s
“Don’t think that you’re a doctor just because you’re holding a medicine kit,” Eugene said with distaste. “I’m not a doctor,” Darren said with a shrug. Howard elbowed him to remind him not to speak rashly. He then added, “This friend of mine was once a doctor. He’s not a doctor now, but he has been researching all sorts of poisons throughout the years. He’s an expert in the detoxification of poisons.” Simon turned around to look at him. He frowned suspiciously when he saw this unkempt poison specialist. “Why have I never heard of this friend of yours?” he asked Howard. “Ah… We haven’t been in touch for a long time. If something like this hadn’t happened to Shar… Sharon, I wouldn’t have thought of him,” Howard said. “We’ve hired so many doctors but none of them were able to formulate an antidote. Someone like him… Can he do it?” Eugene asked in disbelief. “As for whether he can do it or not… You’ll know after letting him formulate the antidote,” Howard said with a smile
“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
