In the end, Sarah planned to brush Shaun off with a few hundred million dollars. Was she treating him like a beggar? Rodney’s aggressive attitude caused Sarah to grow impatient. “Rodney, I hate Shaun. I can’t possibly return so much money to him and allow him to make a comeback. What’s more, I need to pay ten percent of the attorney’s fees. You know nothing.”“...”Rodney looked utterly perplexed.Although Sarah was beside her, he suddenly, for some reason, felt that he did not understand her well.Perhaps he was overthinking it. Sarah could just be moody after being hurt by Shaun.Nevertheless, he was inexplicably averse to the current Sarah. “Just drop me at the mall in front. I want to buy something and spend some time alone.” Sarah cocked her head and gazed out the window.Ever since she got together with Wesley, she was increasingly disgusted by Rodney.Even so, she could not let go of Rodney, her supporter, yet.Rodney pursed his lips dejectedly.From her tone, he kn
“Mom, are you planning not to acknowledge me for the rest of your life?” Rodney asked with a bitter smile as he went after Wendy.However, Wendy was not swayed. Instead, her expression turned grimmer. “Well, did you ever think about my feelings when you chose Sarah and harmed my grandson? Rodney Snow, I’ve worked so hard to give birth to you and raise you. I don’t expect you to be filial to me, but you shouldn’t be so ungrateful.”“Mom, I didn’t…” Rodney was extremely aggrieved.Freya did not want to chip in at first. However, she could not help it when she saw his pathetic look. She said indifferently, “Since you were bold enough to make this decision, you shouldn’t pester us anymore. Hurry up and look for Sarah. She can comfort your miserable soul and give you what your parents can’t. “Freya Lynch…”Her mockery made Rodney explode with rage. “This is the Snow family’s business. Stop being so conceited. If I hadn’t gotten you pregnant, you wouldn’t be where you are today.” “Sh
“Fine. Just believe whatever Sarah says. You trust nobody but her. Since you like her so much, why did you bother looking for your mom? You’ll never break up with Sarah for the sake of your parents anyway. Or are you forcing your mom to accept Sarah?”Chester leaped to his feet and took out an ultrasound report from his file. Then, he handed it to Rodney.“What’s this?” Rodney asked sulkily.“Freya’s ultrasound report. I secretly asked someone to get it for you, lest you don’t know what your child looks like. I’m busy. I have to go on duty now.”As soon as Chester finished speaking, he put on a white coat and left straight away. Rodney lowered his head, staring at the ultrasound report in his hand. He was slightly puzzled.Well, the thing was, he could not tell how the child looked from the report because it was exactly like a tiny bean at this point.Having said that, was this little bean the one that Freya planned to abort?All of a sudden, he felt bad. It was an indescr
The photo was of a young and energetic lady who looked about 18 years old. She was smiling shyly at the camera while carrying a bag. The instant Catherine recognized the lady, she was shocked to the core. This lady’s appearance...She was Sarah’s cousin, Shelley.Previously, Rebecca had undergone plastic surgery to change her face to Shelley’s prior to showing up by Shaun’s side to look after him. However, Catherine could sense that the Shelley in this photo was not the one Rebecca transformed into. In this photo, Shelley’s eyes were pure and innocent. In other words, the lady in this photo was the real Shelley.However, why would Wesley have the real Shelley’s photo?He had even saved the photo three years ago, before Shaun hired Shelley as his carer. Catherine recalled that Rebecca escaped from the fire, but the real Shelley, who was swapped with Rebecca, died in the fire. Due to this incident, Charity was framed and sent to jail. When Charity fled later, she jumped int
“Cathy, how much longer are you going to keep me waiting?” Wesley tilted his head to kiss her.However, Catherine could not resist tilting her head to the other side in an attempt to dodge him. Wesley’s handsome face darkened. At the sight of his expression, a sense of fear subconsciously washed over Catherine, and she promptly slipped out of his embrace.Nevertheless, Wesley was hugging her very tightly, reluctant to let go of her.“Can’t I even give you a kiss now?” Wesley was infuriated. He had put up with her these days, but ever since he hit her, he noticed that he had been losing control of the anger simmering within him.This was because she would rather allow the impotent Shaun than him to touch her.“Are you going to… hit me again?” Catherine instinctively covered her face.It was her instinct, but she was really frightened as well. Wesley’s body stiffened, and he instantly hugged her. “No. I won’t hit you anymore. I just love you too much. Cathy, I want you.”His
Catherine could not imagine how strained things would become between Wesley and her if they revealed their true colors.“And… Your security cameras were installed at the last minute. Since it’s not hidden well enough, it's just a matter of time before it gets noticed,” Logan reminded her.Austin nodded. “The most worrying thing after he notices will be him acting like he doesn’t know anything, but he’s actually silently scheming in the dark. Maybe you’ll become the next Shelley or Charity. Moreover, I think Wesley harbors resentment toward you. He may not kill you so soon, but he’ll make sure you feel like you’re in a living hell. You may not fear death, but you have to think of your children.”“I agree with Austin.”Logan agreed too. “Wesley is guarding against you. Once the electricity was cut off last night, he rushed over immediately. That means that he’s very wary of you. You won’t be able to obtain his trust, and don’t even think of getting his trust too. I reckon his head fu
After leaving the hotel, Wesley got in the car and searched for an overseas number from his contacts. Soon, a seductive voice of a woman came from the phone. “It’s been three years, Wesley. You’ve finally contacted me again.”“Rebecca, you should be grateful to me. If it wasn’t for me pleading for your sake back then, Mason might not have kept you alive. After all, you’re a useless piece of chess to him.”After a moment of silence, Rebecca sneered. “Everyone said Mason disguised himself well. But if you ask me, you’re the one who’s the most well-disguised. You’ve started scheming three years ago. Wesley, I’ve never seen a more ruthless person than you. I heard Ethan is dead. You’re the one who killed him, right?”“You may not be in the country, but you do know quite a lot.”Wesley’s eyes darkened. “Rebecca, don’t you want to come back? Don’t you want to settle your old scores? Don’t forget who sold you to the mountains and was the reason you got raped. Although Catherine and Shau
An inexplicable chill washed over her.Catherine told herself that she was too sensitive. Wesley could not have noticed it so fast.However, Wesley quickly took her phone away the next second and smashed it on the table. With a bang, the screen shattered. Catherine’s phone was completely broken. “Wesley…” Catherine stood up abruptly with her fierce eyes glaring at him. “What are you doing?”“Cathy, do you still want to keep up the act with me? Maybe I should be asking you, what exactly have you noticed?” Wesley still had a warm smile on his face, but his words made Catherine shudder.“I don’t know what you’re talking about. I just wanted to have a look at the application.” Catherine denied. “Wesley, what’s wrong with you?”No matter what, she could not fall out with Wesley today. She was situated in a lion’s den, and Logan and Austin were not there yet.“You don’t know?” Wesley raised his eyebrows in astonishment.“What should I know?” Catherine revealed a puzzled look. “You b
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
