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
“Soon, Catherine won’t be considered my wife anymore.” An air of hostility filled Shaun’s handsome face. “I’ll get a divorce with her as soon as possible.”Chase was astonished. “But you haven’t handled the elders in the old manor…” “I’ll find a way to settle it later.” Shaun lowered his head. He took a cigarette and smoked it. “There are hardly any decent women in Melbourne. Most of them are scummy. You don’t have to tell me things about her anymore.”Relationships were just like dramas. One minute, one could be affectionate, and the next, one could easily change his or her mind. One could even cheat on his or her partner.At the thought of the woman, Shaun felt the urge to strangle her.When the thought that she might be in a relationship with Wesley occurred to him, he sensed a tight feeling in his chest. The woman was f*cking filthy!Chase felt awkward, wondering what was wrong with the women in Melbourne.“Are you sure?”“Yeah. Help me search for another villa right away.
[Hey, are you available? Can you help me design a theater?]“...”Within just a few days, many people had looked for Catherine online to design their houses. However, Catherine did not accept their requests but only posted her company’s address.Talton Design soon turned into a household name on the internet and consequently attracted an endless stream of clients.Joseph grinned from ear to ear. He quickly gestured to Catherine and increased her salary. “Because of you, our company has received a few large projects worth over ten million dollars. It was very brilliant of you to turn things around. You’ve even become a well-known designer now. How awesome! You’re currently the most popular designer in the country.”“Well, thank you for taking me in back then,” Catherine said with a smile. ...The Jones family’s house.At that instant, Rebecca was seething with rage.These days, she had been receiving more than thousands of private messages with criticisms directed at her. Even
Just as Catherine was packing her things to head to the restaurant with her colleagues, a few police officers barged in. “Who’s Catherine Jones?” Her colleagues looked at each other with alarmed faces. Catherine had a sinking feeling, then she stood up and said, “It’s me…”As soon as she responded, both her hands were cuffed. The police said indifferently, “A fire broke out in Lublin Hotel this morning, which has resulted in a loss of over ten million dollars. We’ve received a call from the party involved in the incident, and Summit claims that you were in charge of the hotel back then. You have to go to the police station to be investigated.”Catherine felt as if her head had exploded. “It has nothing to do with me at all. It’s been over two months since I left the hotel. They’re probably trying to make me their scapegoat!”“I’m sorry, but Summit has provided me with evidence regarding your receipt of rebate and use of uncertified cables. Stop denying it.”The police immediate
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
