This was the first time the secretary heard Eugene speaking in such a cold voice. She could not help but feel shocked. She hesitated for a moment before recalling what she wanted to say. “President Eugene… the female celebrity, Fern, wants to see you.” Fern’s stage name did not consist of her last name, so everyone just called her Fern.Eugene had been displeased over this. Men and women alike called her Fern. Did that not sound way too intimate?!Meanwhile, as her man, he could not call her that way!She came over so quickly. He had just gotten his hands on her contract and she was already here!His gaze darkened as he said, “Tell her that I’m extremely busy now. Let her wait.” Did she have the right to see him just because she wanted to? The secretary felt like he was acting weird today. He had never asked someone to wait for him. He would usually either meet them or refuse to meet them.“Alright, noted,” she said. Although she did not understand the reason why, she still
Nobody dared to say anything when they saw him. They immediately returned to their own work stations.Wyatt looked inside the reception room and saw Fern walking out of it.He was inevitably shocked. “Mad—” He was about to call her Madam but stopped himself just in time. He was Eugene’s personal assistant. Of course, he knew about her relationship with Eugene.“Why are you here?” he asked with a smile.“I want to see your boss. Are you free? Bring me to him,” Fern immediately requested.“This…” Wyatt thought about it silently. President Eugene must not want to see her now since he had asked her to wait here. If he took the initiative to bring her to his office, he would be the one receiving the brunt of his rage.He continued to smile at Fern. Just as he was about to come up with an excuse to reject her, Fern grabbed his arm and pulled him toward the elevator. “Don’t even think of rejecting my request. If you don’t bring me up, I’ll barge into his office on my own. By then, you
Fern found it amusing when she heard him referring to himself as her man. She stared at his face up close and smirked mockingly. “To me, you’re just my daughter’s father. Other than that, we aren’t related in any other way,” she said. She did not want to be related to him in any other way as well.“Oh, that’s right. Since you bought off my contract, you’re now my boss.”Eugene stared at the delicate features of her face up close. He hated the ambiguous and mocking smile on her face. He reached out and held her chin. “You’re hurting me by saying that. Do you really think that we aren’t related in any other special way?” As soon as he finished speaking, he moved his tall and sturdy body closer to her.Fern’s back was pressed against the desk and it began to hurt a little. Their bodies were stuck together and she was instantly overcome with embarrassment. She tried to push him away. “Go away! Move farther away from me!”Eugene’s sturdy build was just like a wall. She could not push
An unpleasant expression formed on Fern’s face. He continued speaking, “Since you think that you’re selling yourself anyway, you won’t feel aggrieved if you sell yourself to me.” She felt like cursing at him. “You’re a psycho!” He carried her in his arms before she could fight against his hold on her. He walked straight toward the office lounge. Fern glared at Eugene’s despicable face. She was so angry that her face and neck were flushed red. The next moment, Eugene threw her onto the bed in the lounge. “Eugene Newton, I hate you!” After she blurted this out, Eugene covered her mouth with his. He did not care if he hated her or not. No matter what he did, she would always hate him. ...Sharon thought that Penelope would tone down her actions after losing the lawsuit. Besides, she had also chosen to let her off the hook by not lodging a police report. However, she was wrong… Her phone vibrated while she was formulating a new fragrance in the laboratory. She imme
“Rescue you?” Penelope immediately corrected his erroneous thinking when she heard him use the word ‘rescue’. “I brought you back to the Zachary household for your own benefit. I’m not harming you. I’ll raise you well. Everything in the Zachary household will belong to you in the future. Don’t you want all this?” Sebastian crossed his arms in front of his chest with a nonchalant look on his face. “You mean to say that I’ll be the owner of this household in the future?” Penelope nodded slightly. This kid was not foolish. If she taught him well, he might be able to flourish as well as his father had. “Aren’t you afraid that I’ll kick you out of the house after becoming the owner?” Penelope had just started to admire him just now. She did not expect him to be so mean! Her expression darkened. “I won’t raise you to become a heartless rascal!” Sebastian shifted his gaze to look around as he said, “What if I don’t listen to you? Are you going to punish me? If you do that, can
Penelope had already expected Sharon to come with the Newtons. Therefore, she had done the appropriate preparations in advance. Penelope brought Sebastian and a group of her bodyguards over to the gate of the Zachary household. Sharon was here to look for her son. She stood opposite her. Simon had come along as well. They had only brought three to four bodyguards with them. There were not a lot of people. Penelope could not help but sneer, “Sharon Jeans, why didn’t you ask the Newtons to come along? The few of you won’t be able to take him away from me.” Sebastian could not help but feel worried. “Mommy, Daddy, why didn’t you bring more people over?” In contrast, the number of bodyguards on Penelope’s side outnumbered them greatly. “We don’t need a lot of people to rescue someone. We’re not here to fight,” Sharon said in amusement. Penelope felt like Sharon was looking down on her when she heard her words! “It seems like you have an exceptional relationship with
Despite having seen how skilled Claude was, Penelope still did not take him seriously. After all, she had at least a hundred bodyguards.She had prepared herself well. She had been waiting for Sharon to bring the Newtons over, but she did not expect her to bring so few people.It was hard for one to win a fight if one was outnumbered. No matter how skilled Claude was, she did not believe that he could win a fight against ten or even a hundred men.“Fight him at the same time. You’re not allowed to let anyone come near the Zachary household!” Penelope ordered her ten bodyguards to take him down at once.Simon did not even frown when he saw the ten men rushing toward them. Meanwhile, Claude did not bat an eye.Claude was still stepping on the chest of the bodyguard from just now. When the ten bodyguards came closer to him, he pulled out a gun from the inner pocket of his black suit and pointed at the men in front of him.The ten bodyguards stopped at once. Suddenly, none of them da
“He’s not an assassin. He’s just one of my bodyguards,” Simon corrected her. “I don’t care who he is. He brought a gun over and opened fire in front of me. Does he want to take my life?” Penelope was so enraged that her chest heaved up and down as she took sharp breaths. “Sharon Jeans, order him to kill me if you’re that capable! Otherwise, don’t even think of taking Sebastian away!” She was determined not to let Sebastian get away. “Why are you doing this, Penelope? I’ve never wanted to take your life. Keeping Sebastian with you won’t do him any good. His heart isn’t with the Zachary household. He won’t be happy here.” Sharon sighed. “Life is short. There isn’t much happiness for everyone. He needs to suffer at a young age to take over the Zachary household in the future. If I don’t raise him well, am I supposed to expect you to do so?” Penelope asked. She had looked down on Sharon since the very start.“I just want my son to grow up happily and healthily. As long as he doesn’
“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
