There was only Sharon's soft voice in the room. She was telling Henry about her issues with Simon.She was taking her own time to talk. Her voice was still pleasant to listen to and each word that struck his ears felt as though it was smashing on his heart.His eyes that were initially closed were now opened, and she did not know when it happened. He just kept quiet and looked at the woman sitting on the floor.When she was talking about how Simon had gotten trapped in an explosion when he was saving her in Howard's villa, he saw her eyes reddening. There was a glint in them.'She’s very sad…'She choked and suddenly, she could not bring herself to continue. She revealed a smile to him. "… I'm sorry. I can't control myself. I… I really miss him…"She wiped her tears away. Initially, she wanted to control her sad emotions, but she did not expect herself to fail. More tears started streaming down."I'm sorry, let me cry for a moment. Just let me cry for a moment…" Her hands covere
"No, that can't be. I believe that he's still alive. You'll be proven wrong. If you don't believe me, let's make a bet." She lifted her head lightly and looked right into his eyes. He only met her gaze for a few seconds before he quickly turned away, his expression cold and impatient. "I'll take your silence as your agreement to my bet, then. If you want to win, you’d better actively cooperate with me and accept the treatment." She told herself that she would not lose. Henry closed his eyes once again and ignored her. He had no interest in betting against her at all. Seeing him behave like this, Sharon did not think that he was too difficult to get along with. He was just a little cold and arrogant, preferring to keep others at arm's length. …"Did Henry really agree to cooperate with you and accept treatment?" Tammy looked at Sharon in disbelief. "Yes, I've discussed it with him."Tammy was even more surprised. "How did you manage to sway him?" Even she himself had not
Tammy looked at the man in front of her with a sharp gaze. She needed him to give her proper answers. Franky lowered his head slightly, shifting his gaze to his feet. This made Tammy unable to guess what he was thinking. "Miss Tammy, the person she's looking for… is me," he finally said after a long time. "What? You?" Tammy was shocked. "Yes, it's exactly because I'm the person she's looking for that I had that wedding ring. It’s also why I know her very well," Franky said in an exceedingly calm manner.Tammy looked at him in surprise. Furrowing her brows, she said, "You're telling me that you're her lover and she lost you because of the explosion? That's why she's been looking for you?" "That's right," Franky admitted with a nod. Tammy went silent for a moment before she was able to digest everything. Everything seemed to make sense. "So that's how it is. It's no wonder you said that she'd follow me when she saw the wedding ring." She paused for a while before asking agai
"Henry, I have something urgent to handle. Can you please cooperate with Miss Newton?" If it were not something urgent, she would not leave just like this. Henry gave her a look before casting sidelong glances at Sharon. He said nothing and only lifted his head while closing his eyes. Judging from his expression, it did not seem to be a rejection."Miss Tammy, you should go ahead. I can handle things here," Sharon said. Tammy looked at her. Recalling Franky's assurance, she decided to trust Sharon’s ability. "I'll leave it to you, then." Saying this, Tammy leaned over and kissed Henry on the forehead. "Wait for me to return."Sharon was a little surprised at this. However, they were a couple, so the occasional affectionate gestures were normal. It looked like Mr. Henry only allowed Tammy to get close to him. Even so, was Henry not being a little too cold? He did not give Tammy a single reaction.Tammy was used to it, though. Finding nothing wrong with his behavior, she l
Her son's voice sounded from the phone. "Mommy, when will you be coming back? My school will be having a parent-teacher conference next week.""A parent-teacher conference?" Sharon seemed to have forgotten that Henry was still by her side as she continued chatting with her son. "Yes, will you be able to come back by then?" Her work had just started and because of that, she naturally had no way of returning to attend the parent-teacher conference. "Sorry, Mommy's not done with work yet. Why don't you get your uncle to attend the parent-teacher conference?"Sebastian was not the slightest bit surprised to have gotten a response like that. He sighed deeply, saying, "I already knew it was going to be like this. It was fine back then when Daddy wasn’t around, but now, even you can’t attend...”Sharon was about to open her mouth and reply that she was working hard to search for his daddy but then after a moment of thought, she recalled that Sebastian still had no clue about this mat
After she jotted down every single scent, she noticed that the few scents he had chosen overlapped with the formula for Appreshar.Appreshar was the fragrance her father had made for her and it meant a lot to her. Was this not too much of a coincidence that Henry liked the scent of Appreshar?She did not think too much about it and immediately had a discussion with Ceylon over the phone once more.The purpose of the fragrance she was blending was to aid sleep. As such, it would not be simply made with just flowers. The formula would also contain herbal ingredients. As such, the fragrance she blended did not just contain floral scents but also had medicinal properties. Otherwise, it would not be as effective. Sharon was the one who came up with the technique of imbuing medicinal plants into floral fragrances. This method was only developed after countless trials. It was specifically when Ceylon found out about this that he resigned as a university lecturer and went into resea
Sharon was surprised. She did not expect Young Master Chester to be so treacherous! “Let go of me!” she shouted out stonily. She struggled against his hold and tried to free herself from his vice-like grip. Nobody could stop Trevor when he was in a fit of rage. He lifted her onto his shoulder and walked inside with large strides. “Young Master Chester, Miss Newton is Miss Tammy’s esteemed guest. You can’t treat her rudely…” Jesse said, cold sweat beading his forehead as he chased after the man.“Scram! You aren’t needed here,” Trevor shouted out impatiently. His men did not bother to treat Jesse courteously anymore. They pushed him to the floor.Jesse was sprawled on the ground. He could not stop them. He had to notify Miss Tammy.No one else could stop Young Master Chester apart from Miss Tammy. Sharon did not expect to become Trevor’s target! Her protests and yells were useless. These rascals just continued to carry her away ruthlessly!Trevor brought her to the swim
“You’re crazy,” she scolded. She got up to leave, but she was trembling as she was completely drenched. Everyone here was on Trevor’s side, so she would not benefit from staying here. However, Trevor did not allow her to leave. He pulled her back and said, “You heartless woman. What did you say? Don’t you know that I saved your life?!” Sharon finally could not resist it anymore. She spat in his face and shouted, “You were the one who pushed me in! You brought this upon me!” Trevor narrowed his eyes that glittered with malice. “They all say that Republican women are soft and gentle, but it seems like that isn’t the truth at all! You have such a fiery temper. It seems like I need to teach you a lesson!” Sharon was shocked. What did this bastard intend to do? “Young Master Chester, I’m your sister’s guest. You’d better treat me courteously!” Sharon said. Although she was slightly panicked right now, infuriation still dominated her emotions. She thought that he would ton
“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
