...As soon as Catherine arrived at the Yule family’s villa, he sent Hadley a WhatsApp message. [I’m home.]Within seconds, she received a reply. [That’s good. Rest early. From Shaunny.]It seemed like Shaun had used Hadley’s phone to text her. After taking her shower, Catherine lay on the bed. Shaun’s shameless face kept running through her mind. At last, she failed to fall asleep.…Meanwhile, having received a call from Charlie, Wesley crushed his phone in a fit of fury.On the other end, Charlie was throwing insults at Wesley. “What a dumb idea you suggested. Not only is Shaun alive, but he also managed to save Hannah. Now, the Mead family treats Shaun as their lifesaver. I heard Senator Mead and his wife kept thanking Shaun earlier.” Wesley gnashed his teeth. “I didn’t expect Shaun to be able to stay alive after the elevator plunged 20 floors. He even managed to save Hannah. Is he a human?” “Anyhow, I shouldn’t have been swayed by your coaxing. I’m in trouble now becau
“Ask Gary to settle it,” Mason said nonchalantly.“Will Gary agree on it?” A helpless expression flashed across Maurice’s face. “I’m sure the Holt family would rather sacrifice Chelsea than offend the Mead family and the Snow family.“I have dirt on the Holt family. When I threaten them, I’ll also give them some benefits.”Mason paused for an instant and glanced at Charlie gravely. “It’s not as simple as you guys think. We can shift the blame to Chelsea, but the Mead family and the Snow family aren’t fools. They’ll definitely suspect us.”“So… what should we do?” Charlie’s face turned ghastly.“Offer them benefits.” Mason secretly rubbed his fingers together. “Let’s start from the Mead family. Money talks.”“Okay, I got it. Uncle Mason, you’re awesome.” Charlie admired Mason a lotHowever, Mason remained indifferent. “Use your brains before you act next time. It doesn’t matter if you die. Just don’t drag the Campos family into the mess.”Abashed, Charlie could not help but lowe
“Don’t underestimate the Campos family’s cruelty. Right now, for them, it’s their way or the highway.” Shaun reminded, “You don’t have to look for Mason. A person like him is already considered inhuman.” “What… what do you mean?” Lea was confused. She had a feeling that Shaun knew something.“If it was the Campos family’s doing, they’d make Chelsea a scapegoat for this incident in order to protect Charlie. Although Chelsea is Joanne’s sister and Joanne has given birth to Mason’s child, the Campos family can afford to sacrifice the Holt family. Just wait and see. We’ll hear from them soon.”Lea shuddered. Only now did it hit her that Mason was much more terrifying than she had imagined.“I’m going to meet the chairman of Garson Corporation this afternoon,” Shaun informed her.“Alright.”When Lea got to the door absent-mindedly, she turned around and reminded him with mixed feelings, “Shaun… Take care of yourself... You’re the only son I have now.” As Shaun stared at her desolat
Shaun interrupted Hannah mid-sentence. “Miss Mead, I only saved you because I don’t want your dad to put me into trouble, so I don’t need you to express your gratitude or return the favor.”Hannah stared at him in astonishment. The man’s gaze was as calm as a lake, making it hard for people to see through him.Nevertheless, she could sense that he meant what he said.This man’s frankness made her fall even deeper for him.“But… I want to express my gratitude and return the favor to you. What should I do?” Hannah walked flirtatiously to his office desk and pressed her hands on it before she bent over a little.Despite sitting on the chair, Shaun could easily get a glimpse of her chest the instant he lifted his eyes.However, his eyes did not glint at all. Instead, he felt a faint feeling of disgust in his throat. “Miss Mead, I think you should check my profile. As everyone knows, I’m impotent, so I shall not keep you waiting.”“I don’t buy it. How is it possible for a sturdily-bu
Shaun choked for a few seconds before he came to and thought on his feet. “Paying you back isn’t enough to express my gratitude to you. I know a great restaurant around. I was wondering if you are free this afternoon…”“Thank you, but I’m not.” Catherine rejected him categorically.“When will you be free then? You can set a time. I’ll go with your schedule,” Shaun said right away.Exasperated, Catherine answered, “I’ll never be available to you.”“Coincidentally, I’ll always be available to you…”She hung up before Shaun could finish his sentence.Shaun looked at the phone and laughed. In less than a minute, he received the QR code from Catherine on Hadley’s phone.He scanned the code using his phone and transferred 52 thousand dollars to her.…In the office.When Catherine saw the money, she had no thought of returning it to him.So what if he gave her extra money? He had hurt her badly, yet he did not pay her a penny when he divorced her. Therefore, she would not even bat
Shaun flashed a captivating and mysterious smile. “It was at a pitch-black place. It was very dark…”Harvey, who was watching from the side, saw the situation was not right. He was afraid Shaun would say some ambiguous things that would affect Catherine’s reputation. Hence, he squeezed over in a hurry and pulled Shaun aside. “President Hill, you and President Jones already divorced a long time ago. Can’t you just go along your own way? If words of what you said here got out, it’d affect President Jones’ marriage.”“Isn’t that great?” Shaun raised his eyebrows. He had already become adept at being a shameless homewrecker.The corners of Harvey’s mouth twitched. “No. As a person, this is not right…”“Then, I can not be a person.”Harvey stammered. “...But, if you’re not a person, what will you be?”“A simp.” Shaun’s expression showed no care at all. Harvey looked at Shaun’s arrogant, handsome face. He was stunned. He did not know what Shaun had experienced to have made him like t
“Yes, a high-class simp. This is how a man cares about a woman. I didn’t know this before, but I will learn from now on.” Only then, as Shaun stood in front of her, did he realize that once he was used to throwing his pride to the ground, picking it back up did not seem to matter to him anymore. Catherine was utterly speechless. Luckily she had already made preparations before letting him come up. “Fine. Since you want to be a simp, then eat this.” She took a piece of raw beef from the drawer and threw it on the floor. She had asked the kitchen staff to bring it up just now.Shaun’s handsome face darkened when he saw that piece of meat. After a moment, under Catherine’s gaze, he picked that piece of raw beef and took a bite.Catherine’s eyes widened. She only wanted to prank him so that he would back off from the humiliation. She did not expect he would…She stood up in a hurry. “Shaun, you… You really ate it. I… I was just joking.”A pungent, unpleasant smell filled his nose.
The next second, Wesley pushed the door and walked in.Catherine did not manage to hide the food container on the table, but luckily Shaun had taken the bouquet away with him. “Cathy, you’re eating.” Wesley looked at the food container, and a dark gleam flashed in his eyes. “Shaun sent it?”Catherine wanted to say yes. However, when the words were at the tip of her tongue, she felt it would be hard to explain if she admitted that she accepted Shaun’s food. “No, the canteen sent it up here.”After a moment of hesitation, she quickly changed the topic. “How did you know Shaun was here?”“I was afraid Shuan would pester you, so I told your company’s employees downstairs beforehand to inform me if Shaun came.”Wesley smiled as he explained. “Has he left?”“Mm, I didn’t let him up.” After Catherine answered, she felt very guilty.“That’s good.” A glint flashed in Wesley’s eyes. He suddenly smiled and said, “Your office smells good.” “I sprayed some perfume just now.”Catherine g
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
