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
“...”Catherine was surrounded by a crowd of reporters with microphones in their hands.She wanted to explain, but no one could be bothered about her. They kept shoving her even though she was wearing high heels. In the end, she was shoved to the ground.None of the reporters helped her up. They were just busy taking ugly pictures of her.“What are you guys doing? Get out of the way!”Ethan, who came here just in time, happened to catch sight of the situation. He immediately pushed the reporters away and helped Catherine up. “Are you okay, Cathy?”Catherine had a sinking feeling upon seeing him. Sure enough, the reporters grew enthusiastic.“It’s Ethan! He rushed here promptly!” “Sure enough, the two of you are having an affair.”“How disgusting!”Ethan flew into a rage as more insults were hurled at Catherine and him. “Mind your words. All of it has nothing to do with her. I’m the irresponsible one. The person I hurt is Catherine, not Rebecca.” “Pah, of course, you’re pro
Catherine’s anger simmered down. At the same time, she still found Ethan’s words ridiculous. “How silly of you to say that. Rebecca is smart, diligent, gentle, and generous, whereas I’m evil and brutal.” Upon hearing the sarcastic remark, Ethan was so embarrassed that his handsome face flushed. “Cathy, forgive me for hurting you back then. I’m really sorry. I’ll slowly make it up to you for the rest of my life. Are you willing to come back to me? I promise that I’ll never repeat my mistakes again.“I used to be too naive back then. You were right in saying that I’m still young and can work hard on my own. Everything will be fine as long as you stay by my side.”With that, he gazed at her eagerly.Wesley’s face darkened. Little did he know that his nephew was such a shameless person.What worried Wesley most was that Catherine would be touched by Ethan’s words. After all, Catherine and Ethan had feelings for each other.“Think wisely, Cathy. He has betrayed you once, and it can
