Sebastian felt extremely pressured as his parents both fixed an odd gaze on him. “Don’t misunderstand. It’s just that he’s always been alone. We should find him a partner so that he has a girlfriend to keep him company and console him,” Sebastian explained in a hurry. “What obstacles has he encountered? Why does he need someone else to console and care for him?” Simon did not think that Claude needed a woman’s consolation. “Daddy, it’s wrong for you to think that way. You have my mommy by your side, so you aren’t lonely at all. Uncle Claude is different. He has been single since the day he was born. He has been through so many difficulties as well. Don’t you want him to have a partner? Do you want him to remain alone forever?” Sebastian asked as he stared at his dad like he was an extremely cruel person. After registering his words, Simon suddenly realized that Claude had indeed always been alone. He must be quite lonely. “How do you intend to find him a partner?” Claude h
Riley could not help but burst out into laughter. “Alright, alright, I won’t touch you…” She then saw someone coming toward them from the dining area.She turned around and realized that Sharon and Sebastian were not the only ones in the house. There was another… man?It was a man in a wheelchair. However, this man had a breathtaking face. She had never seen such a handsome man!“Shar, you haven’t been honest with me. You have a man at home…” Riley teased her as she glanced at Simon evaluatively.“Aren’t you going to introduce me to him? Who is he?” Riley was extremely curious. Had Sharon let Simon go? Sharon wrapped her arm around Simon, who had moved to her side. She decided not to tell Riley the truth on purpose. Instead, she told her, “He’s my new sweetheart. His name is Henry.”“Oh, are you admitting that you’re in love with him? Given how clingy you are with each other, it seems like both of you have just gotten together, right?” They seemed just like a newly-married coupl
Sharon knew that something was up when Riley suddenly kept quiet. She did not urge her to say anything. She simply waited for her to tell her about it. Riley suddenly grabbed Sharon’s hand and put it on her stomach. “There’s a small living thing growing inside here,” she said. Sharon was so shocked that she could not bring herself to respond to Riley. After a moment of hesitation, she gaped and said, “You’re… pregnant? Whose child is it?” As soon as she finished speaking, she felt like hitting her own head. Why did she ask Riley something like that? “It’s Jim’s child. Does he know about it?” Riley’s gaze darkened. “Not only does he know about it, but he also… wants me to get an abortion.” “What?! He wants you to get an abortion?!” Sharon sat up on the bed at once. “Don’t be so shocked,” Riley said. She was shocked by Sharon’s reaction as well and immediately reached out to pull her down. Sharon could not continue lying down anymore. She frowned and said angrily,
...Just after Riley left, Jim arrived at Sharon’s place. Perhaps Riley had guessed that he would look for her here. That was why she left in such a hurry. Of course, Sharon did not treat him courteously. After he came in, she did not even bother to pour him a cup of water. “How dare you meet people outside?” Sharon huffed coldly. “What are you saying? Why can’t I meet people outside?” Jim asked in confusion. “You know what you did.” “What did I do? I’m not sure what you’re implying here.” “If you’re not sure, why are you here? I’m very busy. I don’t have time to talk to you,” she said in a tone that sounded like she was trying to get him to leave. Jim suddenly understood something when he noticed her averse attitude toward him. “Riley came to look for you, right? Did she tell you everything?” Sharon leaned against the sofa with her arms crossed in front of her chest. She did not want to answer him. “What did she say? Where is she? Is she hiding in one of
“Why are you so angry over an irresponsible person? It’s not worth it if your health gets affected by it,” Simon said. He could not help but pity Sharon when he saw her getting angry because of Jim. Sharon was so infuriated that she had her hands on her waist. It was hard for her to suppress the raging ball of fire in her. “You didn’t hear the rubbish he said just now! I pity Riley so much! Why does she have to bear a child for such a scumbag?!”“Actually… he’s right. It’s their choice whether to keep the child or not. You’re just an outsider.”“I’m not an ordinary outsider. I’m Riley’s best friend. Anything that has to do with her is related to me as well!”“This is between both of them. Jim really loves her, so he won’t allow her to be a single mother,” Simon said.Sharon frowned and looked at him. After a moment of hesitation, she said, “So you mean that Jim doesn’t really love her? He’s just playing around with her feelings?” If that was the case, she would definitely smash h
One of her subordinates walked in. “Do you have any orders?” he asked. “There’s something that I need you to do for me,” Penelope said. She then whispered something in his ear in a hushed voice. On the weekend, Sharon hired a maid to clean the walls at home. It had been raining for half a month, so the walls were slightly moldy. “I’ll probably need around an hour to finish cleaning,” the maid said. “Alright, let’s take a walk in the garden below,” Sharon said as she helped Simon up and prepared to leave. Sebastian had gone out in the morning to play basketball with his classmates. Sharon was still keeping Simon company during rehabilitation. “I realized that you’ve gotten much more stable lately when you walk. Why don’t I let go so that you can take a few steps on your own?” Sharon asked Simon as they walked around the garden. Simon felt that his legs were much stronger than before as well. He nodded and said, “You can let go.” Sharon slowly let go of him. He lea
Sharon and Simon got up from the sofa at once. Sharon stared at Simon with a stunned gaze. “Is Sebastian back?” Simon’s handsome facial features stiffened. “I’m not sure,” he said in a gloomy voice. The little rascal chose to come back home now out of all times. He was evidently at odds with him. Sharon saw the rigid expression on his face. She patted his shoulder and said, “Our son is back. Be patient for a while.” She then got up to open the door.Sharon opened the door and asked, “Didn’t you bring your keys?” She opened the door and realized that it was not Sebastian outside the door. There were two police officers dressed in their uniforms standing outside the door. “You are…” She was stunned. Why were the police at her door all of a sudden? Had Penelope called the police? However, it had already been a few days since they went to the Zachary household to bring Sebastian back. “Hello, are you Miss Sharon Jeans?” “I am.” “We’re from W Police Station. Ther
Sharon immediately rushed toward their lawyer, Mr. Kingston, when she saw him walking out of the police station. “How is it? Have they finished investigating?” she asked anxiously. Mr. Kingston had a serious expression on his face. “Mr. Henry said that the gun doesn’t belong to him, but it was found in his house. There isn’t any evidence that the gun doesn’t belong to him, so I’m afraid… it’ll be a little difficult.” Sharon was stunned. After a brief silence, she asked, “What’s the worst-case scenario?” “If we can’t prove that the gun has nothing to do with him, he’ll be sentenced for the possession of firearms. The severity of the conviction will be based on the circumstances, and he’ll receive a sentence of three years at least.” “Three years?!” Sharon was shocked. She did not even want him to suffer in there for three days. Three years was unimaginable. “Think about it properly. Where did the gun come from? If you manage to clarify this point, I may still be able to
“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
