When Hadley heard Shaun’s words on the other side of the phone, it was as if a bomb went off in his brain. After quite some time, he stammered, “Eldest Young Master, how… How did you find out?”Shaun, who was struggling in agony and sadness, went silent.What did he just hear? Was he hallucinating?Was the meaning of Hadley’s words the same as what he thought it meant?Although Shaun had gone through many ups and downs before, he was still dumbfounded at that moment, so much that he even forgot to talk. However, he did not know that his silence made Hadley more flustered. “Eldest Young Master, I’m sorry. I didn’t do it on purpose.”“So… Lucas is my child?” Shaun’s mind spun, and he quickly threw out a bomb. Knowing that Eldest Young Master had even found out about Lucas made Hadley even more worried. All he could do was apologize. “Eldest Young Master, I’m sorry. You can ask Miss Jones regarding this matter. This is between the both of you. I’ve promised Miss Jones not to te
Heaven knew how jealous Shaun was when he first heard Suzie was Liam’s daughter. Yet, he did not expect that Suzie was his daughter.No wonder he, who initially disliked kids, would think that Suzie was very adorable.“Hadley, tell me. I want to know the truth,” Shaun said excitedly.Hadley was taken aback. “If you don’t know the truth yet, how did you find out that the two children were still alive?”“There’s no need for you to know that.” Shaun’s trembling voice was short of patience. “Hadley, I’m begging you.”For the first time, he, as a superior, was begging Hadley so sincerely. It gave Hadley a great shock.“Young Master Hill, don’t say those words. Actually, faking a miscarriage was Miss Jones’s suggestion. It was because back then, you insisted on handing over the kids to Sarah to raise them once they were born. At that time, I didn’t believe Sarah would treat the kids nicely at all. I was afraid the kids would end up as the second and the third you of your younger self.
On the way to pick Shaun up, Hadley thought about it and decided to give Catherine a call. However, she did not pick up. She might be in the middle of a meeting.After that, he drove Shaun to Fortuna International Hotel, where the chairman of Garson Corporation was staying. Hadley had contacted his assistant beforehand.Upon entering the hotel, Shaun saw Charlie and his assistant walking out from the inside. Charlie’s expression was unpleasant, but he let out a sarcastic laugh when he saw Shaun. “You’re not here to visit Garson Corporation’s chairman too, right?”Charlie sized Shaun up and said disdainfully, “Even a nobody has the nerve to come. Why don’t you take a mirror and look at your own identity?”Hadley walked up angrily, but Shaun stopped him. The latter’s tone was cold. “Charlie, I suggest you should restrain yourself a bit. It’s not every time that you’ll get lucky and have someone do all the hard work for you.”The look in Charlie’s gaze changed. He sneered. “Shaun,
After Hadley spoke, he went upstairs with Shaun.When they reached the door to the presidential suite, the driver stopped Hadley. “Excuse me. Our chairman will only meet President Hill.”“Wait here.” After a hint of suspicion flashed across Shaun’s eyes, he strode in.On the black leather sofa sat a buff man in a dark blue bathrobe. The man looked like he was in his forties. His features and outline were very masculine, but it was a shame that he had a scar on his face. That scar made one side of his face look ferocious, while the other side of his face was handsome. At that moment, there was a cigarette between the man’s fingers. His dark eyes looked toward Shaun through the smoke.Seeing that person clearly for the first time, Shaun thought the man was strangely familiar, but he could not remember.“Have we met before?” Shaun asked tentatively. That man chuckled. He extinguished the cigarette in the ashtray and spoke with a hoarse voice, “We have. My last name is Lowe, Brenn
Shaun was astonished.He did not expect Mason to have been plotting and scheming since more than 20 years ago. “Why must he hunt you down? Didn’t my mom agree to be with him willingly?”“Because I disrupted his plans.” Brennan said complicatedly, “More than 30 years ago, Lea, Mason, and I were in the same school. Your mom was the belle of the school back then. She was the goddess in every guys’ heart while I was only a university student from a family with a middle-class income. I got to know your mom because we both joined the student council. However, Mason’s family’s financial situation was slightly better than mine. During a party, Mason spiked your mom’s wine…”Shaun’s brows furrowed. “But mom always said that it was you who used despicable methods that time…”“I never thought of taking advantage of your mother’s status at all, okay?”Brennan said coldly, “It was Mason’s scheme, but I accidentally drank that glass of wine, and Mason was held up by someone else at that momen
Shaun’s lips moved. He no longer hated Brennan.He had suffered a lot when he was young, but Brennan did not fare any better too.“No. I’m the one who should be apologizing. I’m a man, yet I couldn’t even protect my own son.”Brennan shook his head. He was filled with remorse. “Luckily, after enduring it for four or five years, I secretly sneaked into Country Y. I changed my name there and found a new identity. I came back before and wanted to meet you. However, after knowing that you went to a boarding school to study, I didn’t want to disturb you. After that, I worked hard in Country Y, started a company, and established Garson Corporation. I heard you became the wealthiest man in Australia too. As your father, I wanted to expand my company further and let us, father and son, reunite. But I didn’t expect to hear about Hill Corporation’s incident some time ago.”“So… you were the one who bought the Hill family’s manor?” Shaun asked.“Mm.” Brennan suddenly frowned and snorted. “If
Brenan returned to the sofa and sat down. He lit another cigarette.Shaun looked toward him. Only when Shaun was getting impatient did Brennan speak again. “More than 10 years ago, I met a woman when I was at Neah Bay. The true lady owner of Neah Bay. She and Catherine look very much alike.”Shaun was astonished. At that moment, it was as if he had found out a secret. “You’re suspecting that person is Cathy’s family?”After a moment of silence, Shaun said, “I remember Cathy’s mother was swept away by a typhoon when she went overseas. It was not long after Cathy was born.”“At first, I didn’t think too much of it either. That was until I came back and saw Catherine’s picture because of the matters between you and her…”Brennan took a long drag on the cigarette. “I can’t be wrong. More than 10 years ago, that woman was just 30 years old. She was as beautiful as a dangerous rose. She was so beautiful that I would never forget her in my life. Furthermore, she had a lot of legendary ex
Shaun froze. That was true. If he told Catherine that her mother was not dead but was also the owner of Soromon Island and Neah Bay, had wealth equivalent to that of an entire nation, and was remarried and had other children, Catherine would definitely think that he was a liar.Brennan comforted him. “No matter what Wesley’s real purpose is, you can’t let him be with Catherine anymore. First, if what I said earlier is true, the moment he gets to the Costner family, you’ll be the first person he gets rid of. Second, after he’s done with Catherine, do you think she’ll have a good end? Think of your mom.”“I’ve already thought about it.”Shaun clenched his fists tightly. “I’ll definitely get Cathy back soon. I just want her to be safe and happy. Dad, I forgot to tell you. I just found out today that Cathy gave me a pair of fraternal twins.”“Really?” Brennan was stunned, but he smiled. “That’s good. Bring them over to meet me someday.”“There’s no problem with Suzie, but for my son…
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
