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
The police flatly refused Catherine and locked her up once again.The small room was filled with seven to eight people. Each of them was assigned a wide wooden bed. As soon as she sat down, a tall woman walked toward her and splashed a pail of water on her bed.“What are you doing?” Catherine blurted out. A bunch of evil-looking women mobbed her right away.“How dare you shout at me?!” The tall woman rolled up her sleeves, then said fiercely, “You know, I killed the woman who shouted at me before this.”“Sorry... You may splash as you wish.” Catherine was not a fool. She knew full well that it was not easy to deal with the bunch of people who were locked up here, so she tried her best to tolerate them.Nevertheless, they did not seem to plan on letting her go.“Oh well, this won’t work on me. I hate beautiful women like you the most because my husband was snatched by a woman just like you.” The woman ran toward her and subsequently gave her a kick.As much as Catherine wante
Freya’s heart sank. Indeed, the Clark family was one of the very few powerful families in Melbourne, but they had offended the Clark family this time.“So… So what can we do?”“I’ve… informed my uncle to come here.” A look of distress and helplessness crossed Ethan’s face. Although Wesley was currently his love rival, he had no choice but to ask him for help in order to save Catherine.“My uncle has a wide network. He might have a way out.”“Oh, okay.” Freya had heard from Catherine that Wesley was interested in her. Sure enough, Ethan had to rely on his uncle at crucial moments like this.As Freya gazed at Ethan, her eyes were increasingly filled with disgust. She could not help but mock him. “After being dumped by your fiancée, you finally know who treats you the best. You don’t find Catherine shameful anymore, huh?”“Back then, it was my fault. I was blind.”Freya snorted. “The environment in the detention center is really awful. Ever since Cathy was locked in the old manor,
Wesley said, “Before this, he had been living in seclusion for years. He suddenly came to Melbourne a while ago, but it’s way too difficult to get him to help. Previously, I asked him to settle a business lawsuit for me by offering him a pay of 300 million dollars, yet he declined.“Of course, he has declined many offers, including those from the business and political powerhouses. In his eyes, money and power are nothing.”Freya was at a loss for words.In a daze, she wondered if Wesley was referring to that Shaun Hill.Cathy’s husband was also Shaun Hill, and he was a lawyer. Cathy said that her husband’s income was pretty much the same as hers, though.She also said that her husband behaved arrogantly and cruelly only because he was Chase’s friend.My God. What kind of a f*cking powerhouse had her best friend offended?Not only had she offended him, but she was also unaware of his identity despite staying with him for over two months.“Don’t worry. I’ll beg him,” Wesley sa
Staring at the man’s chest, Freya was stunned. The man caressed her chin, his bewitching eyes displaying a captivating smile. “Tsk, you guys actually asked a woman to come over. She looks great, though.”Freya’s face darkened. She seriously wondered if she came to the wrong place.However, she heard the sound of people playing cards inside the room. She then asked, “I’m looking for Shaun. Is he here?”In a daze, the man turned his head and looked into the room, “Someone’s looking for you, Shaun. That’s strange. When did you get into a relationship with someone in Perth?”“I’m a friend of his wife.” Freya pushed away his hand that was blocking the door and entered the room in a huff.There were three men in the living room, and all of them had an impressive aura. One of the men with a cigarette dangling out of his mouth said, “Rodney, I just asked you to open the door. Why did you let her in?”“You can’t blame me.” Rodney Snow sat on an empty seat. He took a cigarette and lit it u
