“Wipe your tears away. I’ll take you there. Stop crying now. You’ll cry yourself blind at this point,” said Eugene as he pretended to be somewhat fierce.Eugene brought her to the collapsed villa and found that the search and rescue team was still around, looking for survivors. A lot of people had been found by now, but… most of them were dead.Those people included Simon’s bodyguards as well as Howard’s men and servants.However, there were still a few who were alive. However, all of them were severely wounded and had to be immediately taken to the hospital upon being rescued.Sharon almost fainted upon witnessing such a ghastly sight, and her heart tightened up fiercely.“Simon… Where are you?” Could he still be underneath?Soon after they arrived, the captain of the rescue team said to his team of rescuers, “The search and rescue work is over!”Sharon looked at the captain in bewilderment and asked anxiously, “It’s over? You haven’t found him, so how could it be over?”The c
After the search and rescue team left, Eugene got other people to come over to have a look around the area once more due to Sharon’s insistence.He did not have the heart to watch her cry so sorrowfully. What was the need to be so upset over such a man?Even if the explosion had truly killed Simon, it was because of a dispute that occurred among the Zacharies anyway. She was merely their victim.“We’ve searched everywhere, President Eugene. But we couldn’t find anyone…” Wyatt reported. Eugene looked at Sharon and shrugged helplessly. “Did you hear that?”“No one? But what about Simon? Where did he go?” She simply could not believe that he would die just like that.“I don’t know what else to tell you.” He was about to say that Simon had probably disintegrated into ashes, but he had to change his words for fear of stimulating her further.Sharon was still holding onto that wedding ring in her hand. She felt somewhat lightheaded now and was almost unable to stand on her feet. If
At that time, the rescue team had arrived with the ambulance, so Howard was taken to the hospital as well. It was not determined whether he had survived the stab wound.However, when Xena heard the sound of the police car’s siren, she immediately became terrified. She thought that the police had come over to catch her, so she fled in a panic.She hid nearby for nearly one day and one night, only daring to show herself after the rescue team and police officers left. When Penelope saw her in this state, she felt nothing but heartache and went to pull her over.“What’s the matter with you, Xena? How did you become like this?” In Penelope’s heart, Xena was still her sister-in-law.However, it was as if Xena could no longer recognize Penelope and immediately pushed her away. Then, she went on to move the concrete on the side while calling out, “I’ll save you, Simon…”“Xena!” Penelope grabbed her and forced Xena to look at her. Then, she said solemnly, “Look at me! It’s me, Penelope!”
Xena kept denying that she had hired people to kidnap Sebastian, but the police had evidence in their hands. They were confident that she was the one who did it with the evidence in hand.Xena finally broke down and confessed upon seeing the evidence. Adding to the crime that she had stabbed Howard with a knife, it was inevitable for her to be convicted. As Sebastian’s mom, Sharon was also called into the police station to cooperate with the investigation.Now that everything had come to light, even Penelope’s big shot lawyer could no longer protect Xena.“Xena, tell us. Why did you hire a kidnapper to kidnap Sebastian? He’s just a child. What kind of resentment could you possibly harbor toward a kid?” Penelope was extremely disappointed with her over this matter.In any case, Sebastian was still the Zachary family’s flesh and blood. Especially now that Simon had been murdered, the Zacharies were left with only one male heir!No matter how much Penelope disliked Sebastian, she s
“Grab her and send her over to the infirmary for her injury,” said a police officer.“How could you prevent me from seeing Simon?! I hate all of you!” It was as if Xena had utterly lost her mind. She honestly thought that she could see Simon if she died.Sharon could only watch as Xena was taken, and even her shrieks were slowly fading away.“Please take care of her, and don’t let her harm herself,” said Sharon to the police officers.“Don’t worry. We’ll take care of this from here. You may leave after giving your statement.”Sharon nodded and proceeded to leave the police station.Eugene’s car was parked by the entrance. He was standing on the side of the vehicle with one hand in his trouser pocket. It seemed like he had been waiting for her.“How did it go? Have they investigated it? Was she the one who kidnapped Sebastian?” he asked.Sharon looked solemn as she responded, “Yeah.”“So it was really her? She’s truly a vicious woman, isn’t she? She couldn’t even let go of a ch
Sharon looked straight into Penelope’s eyes with a cold gaze. She asked in a deep voice, “I’m not here to see anything. He’s not dead, so why are you holding a funeral for him?”“Not dead? Then do you know where he is? Tell me where he is right now,” said Penelope.“We have to see the corpse before we determine that he’s dead. Without a corpse, as far as I’m concerned, he’s not dead!” Sharon had no idea what Penelope was thinking. How could she hold a funeral without a body?Anger started surging in her chest upon seeing the priest reciting his prayer near the tombstone. Someone else was throwing flowers onto the casket. “Stop it! Stop praying!” she yelled to stop the priest and went over to pull on the people who were throwing flowers. “Stop tossing the flowers onto the casket! He’s not dead! He’s not!”Everyone started avoiding her upon witnessing this. A few of the elders from the Zachary family started cursing at her with gloomy expressions, “Where did this madwoman come from
“Stop struggling so unnecessarily, Sharon. Just go with Simon. He needs you!” Penelope raised her hand, and the sharp pair of scissors were about to pierce Sharon’s neck…“Stop! Don’t hurt my mommy!” Sebastian appeared out of nowhere and pushed his way through the crowd, rushing toward his mother.Before Penelope could grasp the situation, a brutal force knocked her over to the side. She lost grip of the weapon in her hand and it immediately fell to the ground.She even staggered a few steps backward in embarrassment before finally regaining her balance. She shifted her eyes and saw that Sebastian was already trying to save Sharon.“Let go of my mommy! Let go!” Sebastian was pulling the bodyguard’s hands.“Sebastian…” Sharon could not help but be surprised by Sebastian’s appearance. How did he know she was here? He had not even fully recovered from his injury yet!“Don’t touch him! He’s injured!” Sharon hurriedly scowled at the bodyguards.Thinking that he was now the Zachary fa
Penelope’s current forces were indeed not enough to go up against Eugene who had come prepared.Eugene’s men had managed to save Sharon and Sebastian at this point, and Penelope’s bodyguards were temporarily surrounded.The entire scene was under Eugene’s control, while Penelope was simply out of options.“Why you… You….” Penelope could feel her anger surging to her head right now and almost fainted from the dizziness. Her assistant had come over to support her.“It’s bad enough that you came here to sabotage Simon’s funeral, Sharon. Now, you’ve brought the Newton family over as well. Aren’t you bullying the Zachary family by doing this?” She could not help but scoff.“I’m not here trying to sabotage anything. I’m merely stopping you from going through with this funeral. Simon doesn’t need it!” Sharon retorted.“Ha… Alright, fine. I see it now. You’re refusing to let Simon have a peaceful rest! From now on, the Newtons and Zacharies will simply no longer co-exist! Just wait and s
“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
