“That’s true, you might not be used to working a nine to five job,” Wesley said cordially. “If you like freedom, I can arrange a job for you. I need someone to help me examine the pharmacies abroad—”“That won’t do. My left and right-hand men are Logan and Austin. I can’t let them get too far away from me,” Catherine came down from upstairs and interrupted him with a laugh.“That’s true. I didn’t think it through.” Wesley saw her smile and his heart finally let out a sigh of relief. “You guys talk. I’ll cook tonight.”Then, he rolled up his sleeves and went to the kitchen.Catherine walked over to Logan and glanced at him, deliberately asking, “Have you thought about what position you want?”Logan lowered his voice and said, “There are hidden cameras installed in the living room, dining hall, your bedroom, and the kitchen. I didn’t dare to go anywhere else. There must be someone watching behind the scenes, so I’m afraid of arousing suspicion. But I’m guessing there are hidden came
“How would a bodyguard like him dare to eat a meal cooked by the great President Lyons?” Catherine smiled faintly.She looked at Wesley’s handsome face. The more she smiled, the more her heart trembled.It seemed like ever since she met Wesley, he had the same gentle and silent watchful look.It was the same now as well.Had he changed somewhere along the way, or had he always been this good at hiding his true colors?If Ethan died in his hands, how vicious must this person be to be able to kill his own nephew without mercy?Did such a terrible person know how to love?Was his love for her real?She thought about what Shaun had said. Wesley was holding back because he wanted to take revenge on her. She would become the second Lea Hill.The thought flashed in her mind.She had a suspicion that if her guess was right, she might end up worse than Lea.At least no matter how bad Mason was, he still cared about the Campos family.“Logan is very important to you, so he is to me t
Elle lowered her voice. “During this period of time, Chance would accompany Yael every day and occasionally bring her out for maternity check-ups or buy groceries. I didn’t dare to follow too closely because I was afraid that Chance would find out. After all, he’s very good at not being followed.”“So… you didn’t find out anything?” Shaun was very disappointed. Had he made a wrong guess?“No, I found something,” Elle said. “Yesterday, Chance and Yael went into a private restaurant for dinner together. I didn’t dare to go in after them, but I saw that Ivan and Charlie Campos also arrived shortly after. They stayed in the restaurant for more than an hour.”Shaun’s hand on the table slowly clenched into a fist. “That’s too coincidental.”Elle nodded with a complicated gaze. “Yes. Not long after Ivan and Charlie left, Chance and Yael came out too. Yael seemed to be in a very good mood.”“Looks like my guess might be right.”Shaun’s thin lips pursed with a chill. He had thought about
“Yeah, when we acknowledged Suzie, Mason gave her a pitiful amount of money. He gave her less than what he gave his nieces. Liam was very uncomfortable and said that Mason had never cared much about him since childhood.” Lea felt worse the more she spoke, and she missed Liam even more.Shaun raised his brows. “Then didn’t you find it strange? Is Mason neglecting his own child just because he doesn’t like you? Could he be so heartless? Even tigers don’t eat their own children.”Lea’s eyes flashed with deep chagrin and sorrow. “I don’t know what’s going on either. From start to end, I was completely used by him. But Liam is still his son.”“That’s why… I’m asking you to remember what happened that night. Are you sure it was Mason? Have you ever thought that maybe he resented you at that time and found another man to replace him…”Shaun’s words were harsh and piercing. Lea’s face turned pale.“That’s enough. Your mom isn’t that stupid…” As she spoke, she suddenly seemed to remember s
“Yes.” Lea nodded blankly. “That year, I had just divorced your father and didn’t want to remarry so quickly. I fought with your father that day and drank some wine. I ended up with Mason.”Shaun raised his brows at her lost expression. As a son, the only thing he could do was sigh helplessly. “Is there a possibility that the person might have been my dad?”Lea was so shocked by his words that she stammered, “That’s… That’s impossible.”“I’m just saying. You don’t have to think too much into it. I have something to do, so I’m going out. I’ll leave Suzie and Lucas to you tonight.”Shaun spoke and left the dumbfounded Lea behind.He quickly drove to the villa that Brennan recently bought in the capital. Although Hill Manor was Brennan’s now, it was too high profile. Brennan was not living there for the time being.“It’s so late, why did you suddenly come over?” Brennan was dressed in a robe and had just about gotten ready to sleep when he heard that Shaun was coming. Hence, he came
“I understand, Dad.” Shaun sighed inwardly. He thought he was very smart, but compared to Brennan, he was still too inexperienced.“As expected of my son. When you rise again, the time will come for us father and son to take revenge.” Brennan’s eyes were filled with hatred.Shaun’s lips moved slightly. “Dad, I want to ask you a question. 20 years ago, after you divorced Mom, did you two ever… sleep together again?”Brennan was startled. After a moment, his eyes flashed with annoyance. “Why are you asking that? It’s been so many years that I’ve already forgotten. Just the thought of Lea makes me nauseous.”“Is it because of Mason and her?” Shaun could not help but ask.“What else could it be? No man can stand something like that. I don’t care what history she had with Mason. She should’ve at least kept a distance from him for the sake of her child after getting married, but what did she do instead? She neglected you and went out with Mason every day.”Even though it was so long ag
“No.” Brennan fiercely punched his fist against the wall, making blood seep out. “That b*stard Mason Campos! He’s too vicious.”“Yes, he’s vicious.” Shaun suddenly raised his red eyes. “Dad, there’s someone who knows Liam’s last location. I’ll get the person over and interrogate them.”He originally did not want to touch Yael, but for Liam, he had no choice but to act in advance....In an unremarkable neighborhood in Canberra.Chance called out, “Food’s ready.”Yael came out from inside with a slightly bulging belly.However, when Chance saw the delicate makeup on her face, his expression became ugly. “Yael, the doctor said that women can’t use makeup when they’re pregnant. Cosmetics are harmful to the skin, but you applied such thick makeup. Can’t you think about the baby?”“I’m already thinking about the baby. I didn’t even use eyeliner.”Yael said in an unpleasant tone, “Besides, if it weren’t for the pregnancy, would my face have grown spots? I’m only trying to cover the
Elle walked up to Yael and slapped her across the face, making half of her face swell up.“Argh, Elle, you b*tch!” Yael screamed. “How dare you hit me? I’ll make your life worse than death. I’m telling you, Shaun Hill isn’t the same as before. If you’re smart, you’d better leave him. Otherwise, I’ll kill you!”“You talk too much.” Elle slapped the other side of her face to make it balanced.Yael’s mouth buzzed. She was in so much pain that she could not speak. She could only look at Chance for help.“That’s enough.”Chance yelled for them to stop. “Eldest Young Master Hill, Yael is right. We already left Liona and have nothing to do with Liona. What are you trying to do now? I worked like a slave for Liona, but now you’re bullying my woman. You can’t be that shameless.”“Shameless?”Shaun smiled as if he had heard a joke. “Chance, you have indeed done a lot for Liona, but Liona hasn’t treated you badly in these years either. From these years, you’ve accumulated at least hundreds
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
