“No,” Suzie said, “These days, I’ve been alone at the manor. Great-grandma and the others are at the hospital since Great-grandpa can’t walk anymore. I saw Great-grandpa once before. He’s so pitiful. Uncle Willie too. He’s mentally retarded now and acts like a ditz. He’s even more childish than me…”Suzie could not help but cry. “Uncle Willie is so pitiful. He used to tease me and loved to pull my ears, but he always bought me whatever I wanted…”Catherine’s throat hurt.She wanted to hug Suzie when she heard her cry. After all, Suzie was still so small.However, without Liam, she could not see Suzie at all.What should she do with Suzie in the future?The more she thought about it, the more distressed she was. However, she did not know what to do. She could only keep talking to Suzie until she managed to coax the little girl to fall asleep, but her whole person was slouched and dazed....The next day, she ran out to find Liam before dawn.There was still no news after a day,
“You want me to get lost?” President Hale sneered. “Shaun Hill, I think you’re still dreaming. Hill Corporation is a thing of the past now. Your Hill family isn’t even as good as a small company under my Hale Corporation. In the past, you were high above me and didn’t care about me, but now, I can find someone to get you killed anytime.”“Sure, you can try.” Shaun suddenly stood up.His tall body and aura after staying in a high position for a long time instantly overwhelmed the short and stout President Hale.“Fine, since you won’t do it until you’re forced to, I’ll make you regret this. Just wait.”President Hale kicked over the chair in front of him and strode out.When he reached the door, Catherine had her head down, so he did not look too closely.Catherine looked at his back. She had seen this man before. He was Gary Hale from the Hale family. The Hale family was barely in the top 20 families in the capital.However, even he could run over to Hill Corporation so arrogantl
Catherine had originally promised to move in with Wesley.However, after hearing Shaun’s words, she immediately hesitated.“Are you planning to take my niece and live with Wesley? Dream on.” Shaun saw her expression and became irritable.Catherine sighed helplessly. “Fine.”Shaun did not feel relieved because of this. After all, Catherine’s expression betrayed too much of her emotions.“You still want to be with Wesley?” Shaun was somewhat incredulous. “You’ve slept with me for so long, yet you still refuse to divorce Wesley. Or is it because he’s unwilling?”Catherine’s face burned from his savage tone. This man really did not know what shame was.“Shaun Hill, it’s none of your damn business who I’m with. You could be arrogant in the past and we couldn’t do anything about it, but Hill Corporation isn’t even comparable to Hudson Corporation now. Your net value is also incomparable to mine. Do you think you’re worthy of me? Do you think you’d catch my eye?”She spoke coldly. In
Of course, Shaun knew that the current him was no longer worthy of Catherine.Catherine walked out of the elevator. On the side, Hadley stepped out from another elevator and quickly caught up to her.“Ms. Jones, I need to talk to you.”Catherine stopped. “What do you want to say, Hadley?”Hadley said awkwardly, “Actually, I heard a little about what Eldest Young Master Hill and you talked about in the office earlier. I want to ask you not to sue him.”Catherine frowned. If it were someone else, she would not hesitate to refuse, but she owed Hadley.“Hadley, he’s a devil. I just wanted to start another life with Wesley, but he ruined it. He even made a big fuss and ruined my reputation. Do you know how many people out there are laughing at Wesley and me? I’m not just doing it for myself. I have to give Wesley an explanation too.”“But if you really sue the Eldest Young Master Hill now and he goes to jail for even as short as two years, without him sitting in Hill Corporation, it’
Joel said, “The Holt family is planning to buy Hill Corporation for a song while the Campos family is secretly inciting the matter. Now, all the wealthy families in Canberra are just waiting to watch the drama unfold.”As Catherine listened to Joel, she was increasingly disgusted by those wealthy families in Canberra.“Alas, poor Suzie. I shouldn’t have let her return to the Hill family.” Joel sighed. “Anyway, don’t overthink it. Have a great life with Wesley in the future. Don’t let him down again.”“Mm.” Catherine lowered her head.When it was time for dinner, Wesley drove over.The minute Wesley saw Suzie, he held her up happily. “Suzie, why don’t you come to my house with your mommy tomorrow?” “Oh, okay…” Suzie answered by stretching out her voice, neither happy nor sad. She just felt that Wesley’s house was not her home. “Mommy, are you going to move to Uncle Wesley’s place?” “Suzie, go and have dinner with Lucas first.”When Catherine sent Suzie away, Wesley gazed at he
Wesley took two steps backward and gave a bitter laugh before he turned on his heel and left.Lucas and Suzie ran to Catherine. “Mommy, why did Uncle Wesley leave? Did both of you quarrel?”“Go and have your dinner.” Catherine bent over and replied gently.There was a great sense of fatigue in the depths of her eyes.…In the next two days, Shaun asked all Liona members to search for Liam. However, it seemed as if he had vanished into thin air.“Eldest Young Master, we’ve checked the records at the train stations, airports, and highways, but Liam didn’t leave from any of these places. Even the foreign hospitals don’t have Liam’s clinical record,” Chance reported his findings with a frown. “At present, there are only two possibilities. The first possibility is that Liam has been locked up. Another one is that… He’s dead.”Sitting on the leather chair, Shaun felt as if a bucket of cold water was poured over his tall figure.“Dead?”How could it be? How could someone as hard to
“Even if you didn’t do this, Liam’s disappearance surely has to do with you.” Lea was consumed with regret.These days, she had been so muddleheaded and overwhelmed by Mason’s cheating and betrayal that she had neglected her two sons. By the time she came to her senses, Liam had gone missing.“Shaun Hill, if you don’t bring Liam back, I’ll never acknowledge you as my son.” Once Lea finished her sentence in hysterics, she suddenly felt faint. “Madam.” Chance swiftly held her.Shaun leaped to his feet and carried Lea. Then, he raced her to the hospital.After conducting different types of blood tests, the doctor said, “Madam Hill hasn’t slept for a few days or so. Her fatigue and blood insufficiency have also contributed to her feeling faint. She needs to take care of her health by relaxing and worrying less.”A bitter look washed over Shaun’s face. By the look of things, how could Lea possibly relax?Shortly after the doctor left the ward, a few police officers walked in.“Mr
[Are my eyes deceiving me? Eldest Young Master Hill has been arrested for kidnapping Second Young Master Hill, but didn’t he kidnap Catherine too? He really enjoys kidnapping people, huh?] [He is completely lawless. He even kidnapped his own brother. Quickly lock him up.][I heard Shaun has a bad temper, and he used to take it out on Liam for no reason.][What happened this time seems much more serious than that. Rumor has it that Liam has gone missing for days. The witness in the hotel said that the last time he saw Liam was when Shaun took Liam away. Luckily, Liam’s dad, Mason Campos, has reported it to the police.][Now that the Campos family is the most influential family in Australia, they can send Shaun to jail. Don’t ever let him out.]The issue had caused a heated discussion among the netizens. Even Catherine learned about the matter through the internet.As her assistant, Harvey also informed her about what he heard. “I heard Hill Corporation is planning to sell off the
Behind the banana tree, Charity drew the leaves and walked out.She wore a discreet smile. “I didn’t expect Young Master Jewell to be so well-liked by girls. Girls these days are really bold and proactive. I’m old.”Looking at Charity’s pretty face, Chester could not help but smirk. “If you’re considered old, I’m even older.”“For men, the older, the more charming,” Charity said.“Really?” Chester suddenly grabbed hold of her hand and pulled it. “Do you think I’m charming?”Charity made a point to size him up. A moment later, a look of disdain washed over her face. “Not in the slightest.”Chester was exasperated. “Even if I’m not, I won’t allow you to escape my clutches.”As soon as he finished speaking, he leaned forward domineeringly and locked lips with Charity.Ever since she quit the entertainment industry, she hardly wore lipstick. He was not sure of the brand of the lipstick she applied today, but it was soft and smelled good.“Go away. You may kiss your girl…”Charity
A grand wedding was held at the seaside.The two couples exchanged vows, kissed, and promised to be lifelong companions. It was the happiest moment of their lives.When Charity brought the ring to Catherine, Catherine asked in a low voice, “Do you want me to toss the bouquet to you?” “No.”Charity rejected outright.However, Catherine did not force her. After all, she could tell that Charity was not as eager as Freya to have a wedding.Frankly, Catherine found it tiring to prepare for the wedding.“Alright. Although you don’t want it, it doesn’t mean he feels the same.” Catherine darted a playful glance at Chester.He was outstandingly handsome among the groomsmen.Some attendees of the wedding were under the impression that Chester and Charity were a couple, while some others were unsure. There were even a few pretty foreign girls who took the initiative to flirt with Chester, whereas some girls took out their phones to take photos of him. Charity took a glimpse of Chester
Charity was speechless.It was true that Chester could not do it with her.Was that why her good friends could look so calm even after hearing that she had spent a night with Chester?“What gives? Could he have done it with you?” As soon as Freya noticed that Charity was quiet, she asked with interest and curiosity.“You’re overthinking it.”Catherine said with a discreet smile, “Even if there’s something wrong with that part of his, he could’ve done it if he wanted to.”“Wow. Sure enough, you know everything, Cathy.” Freya chuckled. “Charity, you can get Cathy to teach you one day.”However, Catherine still felt a little embarrassed, and her face flushed red. “Shaun used to have a mental block in that aspect too, but he would still make me happy. If Shaun knows that, I believe Chester knows better.” After all, no one could beat Chester when it came to his experience with women.Charity was silent for a while before she said, “It doesn’t matter to me. I’ll let nature take its
“You haven’t answered my question.” Charity asked in annoyance, “Why were you in a hurry to get away from me?” A miserable look washed over Chester’s face. “If I hadn’t done that, I’m afraid I wouldn’t have been able to get hold of myself.”Charity looked down at the lower part of Chester’s body. “Is it because… you can’t control it anymore?”Her directness caused Chester’s face to turn grim. “Charity, do you mean that I have no sexual urges? There were homosexual eunuchs in the past. Although that part of mine can’t function, I can still feel the necessary sensations. When I see your sexy side, I still have the urge to hug and kiss you.”Once Charity understood the situation, she felt slightly more relaxed.After all, she was a woman and was under the impression that she had lost her charm in front of Chester.“Charity, next time, can I…” Chester suddenly bit his tongue and stared at her. “Kiss you?”Charity’s pretty face instantly heated up.When had she stopped him from kis
Charity never knew that the three of them could sleep so soundly. When she sent Cal to sleep sometimes, he would always wake her up several times in the night. Moreover, she would worry that he would kick off his blanket, so she would hardly sleep well.However, with Chester around, she subconsciously felt more relaxed as she did not need to care about everything on her own.Just as the dawn broke the next day, she was woken up by a kiss. “Charity, it’s about time to wake up. You’re going to be a bridesmaid today. You need to wake up early.”While waking her up, Chester kissed her for his own advantage.Charity opened her eyes in a daze. She still felt so sleepy that she did not want to move.“Are you planning to lie in?”As it was rare to see Charity so lazy, Chester secretly laughed. “Let me help you get changed.”By the time he staggered to her wardrobe and took out the bridesmaid’s outfit, Charity had woken up with a startle. “Why are you moving around? You should lie do
Charity was in the bathtub until she felt sleepy. Just as she was about to fall asleep, she heard Chester’s deep, gentle voice. “Charity, wake up…”She opened her eyes to see Chester’s face close up. Charity was exhausted. She woke up groggily, and her brain felt like it was not working. She rubbed her eyes. “How did I fall asleep?”Her hand felt slightly wet, and only then did she realize she was lying in the bathtub naked. Her body’s curves were vaguely visible under the red rose petals. Meanwhile, Chester was standing beside the bathtub with a fresh towel in his hand. That scene suddenly hit Charity like lightning, and the grogginess she was feeling immediately disappeared.She wanted to hide, but there was nowhere to hide in the bathtub. Her face blushed in an instant. “Who allowed you to enter without knocking? Get out.”“I called you, but you didn’t hear me.”Chester lied without flinching. “I came in because I was worried something happened to you. You’ve been in
“I should be the one asking you why you’re in my room,” Chester asked Charity as he raised his beautiful brows and smiled like a sly fox.“...”Charity glared at him. After exchanging glances with him for a few seconds, she carried her son and walked away.When she held the door handle, she felt a force grabbing her from behind.Chester stopped in his tracks and wrapped his hands around her slim waist. “Are you afraid that I’ll eat you up?”“You think you can do that, huh?” Charity turned around and glimpsed at the lower part of his body. “Can you do it now?”Chester’s handsome face stiffened, and a look of dejection washed over it.All of a sudden, Charity felt that she had gone too far by adding insult to injury.For a man, that was his greatest pride.“Since you know I can’t do that, what are you afraid of?” Chester gripped her waist. “Charity, stay here. All other rooms are occupied. If you don’t stay here, you have nowhere else to go.”Charity stomped on his foot. “Did y
“Suspect that the child is yours?” Shaun continued all of a sudden.Chester nodded.The more the child resembled him, the more afraid Chester was.He would rather the child bore a greater resemblance to Charity.Shaun glanced at Chester, who looked uneasy, and could not help but laugh. “As I said, onlookers see most of the game, and that saying is very true. Even Chase could tell that the child is yours at first glance. Do you think a clever person like Charity hasn’t noticed it?”Chester was momentarily stunned, and a thought flashed across his mind. He was a little perplexed, but he dared not give it a thought. “Do you mean…”“Perhaps she has found out about it long ago, but she just hasn’t exposed it.” Shaun said indifferently, “I even suspect my wife knows. Considering how smart she is, how could she not have guessed that Charity had used your sperm to get pregnant?”Chester revealed a strange expression, but he was holding on to some hope. “Maybe she didn’t guess it. They m
Catherine, Freya, and Charity were sitting together and chatting. When Chase went over, Catherine immediately asked protectively, “What’s wrong?” “Your husband is bullying me.” Chase hid behind Catherine and glanced at Shaun, who was walking over with a dark expression. “Move your paw off my wife,” Shaun warned with gritted teeth. If it were not for Catherine’s presence, he would have thrown Chase off the plane. “What are you doing?”Catherine glared at her husband. “Chase and I are friends. We’re besties. What’s with your attitude?”“That’s right.” Chase straightened his back with Catherine’s support. “I simply said you got lucky to be able to be a dad despite being so sc*mmy at first. Cathy even brought a set of twins back to you. I’m so much better than you guys, yet I still don’t have a girlfriend. Did I say something wrong? How unfair is this?”“Is he angry because of that?” Freya asked sarcastically. Chase nodded repeatedly. “Was I wrong?” Catherine threw the bag o
