When he said that he ‘had no choice’, the words were full of spoiling and helplessness.Chase was speechless. “So, where is she now? She dumped you here after eating?”“Shut up.” Shaun glared at him. He opened the car door and closed his eyes after getting in. He was in so much pain that he did not even want to speak.Chase looked at his pale profile and secretly took a picture of him to send to Catherine’s WhatsApp.[Sister-in-law, Shaun hurt his stomach in order to accompany you to eat hotpot. I’m sending him to the hospital now. Catherine, don’t be mad at him. He doesn’t say it out loud, but he does care about you.]“What picture did you take just now?” Shaun suddenly opened his eyes and snatched Chase’s phone. He read what Chase typed and felt like he had lost his dignity and reputation. “I care about her? I think your head is missing a few screws.”“This is my plan to let her come back and cook for you. It’s the trick of using an injury to win against the enemy.” Chase sighe
“How did I not realize before this how shameless you are? Did you forget how you slapped me at the entrance of the design institute? Or how you pushed me because of Rebecca Jones? Or how you paid someone to flood the villa in order to frame me just a few days ago? If I hadn’t found out about it earlier, not only would I have needed to pay for the compensation, but my company would also be dragged down.“Ethan Lowe, your viciousness chills me, and just the mention of our past relationship makes my hair stand on end. But you? You have no remorse and no intent to apologize, yet you’re shameless enough to stand in front of me.”Ethan’s face burned red from her scolding, but he could not say anything due to his embarrassment.In fact, he had been too angry that day and vaguely regretted his actions. Even so, his pride made him unable to bow his head.Catherine glanced at him and looked around, then suddenly sighed.“Forget it. Don’t say I’m too cruel. After all, isn’t the problem just
Ethan glared at the person who spoke. “I dare you to say that again.”The person was a female manager of the company. She stood up and said, “Am I wrong? Who in Melbourne doesn’t know that the great President Lowe abandoned his girlfriend of many years in order to be the successor? Not only that, he even took advantage of others just so he can be justified as a love-struck man. What a disgrace to Lowe Corporation!”“That’s right. Chairman Lowe, this son of yours needs to be taught properly. His virtues are unworthy of his position,” another shareholder said to Zachary.Zachary was completely humiliated and could only say coldly, “Ethan, let Percy manage your position as president temporarily. You don’t have to participate in the upcoming projects of the company.”Ethan was incredulous. “Dad…”“You’ve really disappointed me.” Zachary simply walked away.After the meeting, Percy walked up to Ethan and smiled cheerfully. “Don’t worry, Brother. I’ll manage the company well, so you ca
“Is Fudge about to give birth?”“So you’re finally willing to call me back now, huh?” Shaun’s voice was very cold.“I asked you a question!” Catherine was anxious. She had taken care of Fudge for a long time now, so cared about the cat.“It’s a difficult birth.”“Then send her to the vet!” Catherine yelled irritably. How could he bear to let such a cute kitty suffer?“She’s in labor now so I can’t move her. You’d better come over. Fudge misses you and needs your encouragement at this time. Of course, if anything happens, you can still see her for the last time.”Shaun did not mention how upset he was. When he had stomach pains before, she simply threw the contact number of a hospital to him. She was more concerned about a cat than she was about him.Catherine snapped at him. “Don’t talk nonsense. I’m coming over now.”“Hurry up. I’m afraid she won’t hold on much longer.” Shaun hung up after speaking.“Lalalala, my darling little Cathy, I’m done with my makeup so let’s go.” Fre
Catherine believed him and patted Fudge dearly. “Fudge, you’ve worked hard. You’re so brave. You’re the best.”Fudge mewled weakly, completely exhausted.“She’s hungry,” Shaun said.Catherine thought so too. Giving birth was a laborious process.“I’ll make something delicious for her.”The lights and stove lit up the kitchen, and she put on the apron she used to wear before.Shaun stood behind her, finding the sight pleasing to the eye. Sure enough, she looked right in her element at home. “I’m hungry too.”Catherine pretended not to hear him, so he went up to her and breathed into her ear. “I said I’m hungry. Did you hear me?”Her eyes trembled, and she almost dropped the spatula.Looking back at his brazenly handsome face, she gave a small smile. “Mr. Hill, I seem to remember you saying I’m as dirty as the women standing by the side of the street and that you never want to eat my cooking again because it’ll ruin your appetite.”“...”Shaun’s handsome face imperceptibly sti
Damn it. This was the first time he wanted to strangle a woman so much.Catherine’s legs were trembling with fear. She wanted to cry. Why had she come tonight?“I was wrong. I’m just that shallow and superficial. Please let me go.”The woman’s face flashed with a deep fear, and her clear and watery eyes were like a kitten’s. She did not dare to approach him at all.Shaun’s heart was inexplicably seized in pain. It was the first time his heart was moved, but it was because of a complete scum of a woman.“Get out.”He could not control his anger and flung her to the ground. “Don’t let me see you again.”The man’s force was very strong, and Catherine ended up knocking her knee on the floor when she fell. It hurt like hell.She forced herself to stand up, also becoming angry. “If it weren’t for Fudge, do you think I wanted to see you? You’re temperamental and moody. Who can stand you?”Then, she swiftly slipped away.This time, she was no longer coming back.In the house, a tigh
“Patrick’s dad and Linda’s dad are comrades. After retiring from military service, they set up a business together. Patrick and Linda lived in the same area and grew up together. He just treats Linda as his sister.”“Somehow, I feel that Linda doesn’t just treat him as her brother.” Catherine threw a glance at Freya.Freya remained silent for a moment, then sighed. “You think so too? I used to doubt it as well, but I have no evidence.”“Just keep an eye on her.” Catherine reminded Freya.“Okay.”...A week later.Rebecca and her parents returned to Melbourne after vacation.Shortly after they got back to the Jones family’s villa, Ethan gave Rebecca another call.The moment Rebecca looked at the notification of the incoming call, her eyes flashed with annoyance. Nevertheless, she ended up picking up the call. With a smile, she asked, “What’s the matter, Ethan?” “Can’t I just give you a random call?”At that instant, Ethan was somewhere near the villa’s entrance where he had
Less than ten minutes later, Ethan received a sudden call from Sonya.“What’s going on, Ethan? Rebecca announced publicly on Facebook that she has canceled her wedding with you because you still have feelings for Catherine.”Ethan was dumbfounded as he did not expect Rebecca to act so swiftly.He immediately clicked on Rebecca’s Facebook profile.She had written: [An innocent girl, who had just moved up the ladder, thought that she had met her prince, only to discover that he went after her simply because of her identity as a corporation’s successor.[Recently, many have been criticizing me for being the third party between my sister and her boyfriend. In fact, I was unaware of it.[He said he loved me, and I believed it. Therefore, I got together with him at all costs. I wouldn’t be bothered even if a commotion arose during our wedding. [However, I just found out that he still has feelings for someone else. He pretended to get engaged to me before this and merely treated me as
