After Shaun was done with the excavation, he gave Catherine a video call.“Look, Cathy. I destroyed the seaside villa myself.”Catherine, who was in the office, was stunned for a few seconds when she saw Shaun standing among the ruins. She probably did not expect the seaside villa to be destroyed to this extent. “You’re too idle, huh?” She was speechless. “You said you were going to work this morning, but you ended up demolishing the villa. How did you destroy it?”“With an excavator.”“You actually know how to operate an excavator?” Catherine was taken aback.“Mm. I just learned it this morning.” Shaun smiled faintly.“...”Catherine was at a loss for words.When he made such a remark, did he consider the feelings of those learning how to operate an excavator? They would usually spend half a year, or at least three to four months to complete training. “Congratulations. You’ve acquired another money-making skill,” Catherine teased him with a laugh.“Cathy, I wanted to dest
Sarah gritted her teeth. “I’m different. I hate Shaun, and I want to kill him.”Wesley raised his brows gravely.Sarah slowly approached him. “I have a solution, of course. When I hypnotized him previously, I got the goods on him.”Wesley slowly narrowed his dark eyes. “Really?”“Absolutely.” Sarah nodded. “Everyone falls to rock bottom someday. You’re now there too, aren’t you? Although you haven’t divorced Catherine, Shaun and Catherine have already been showing up together in public. They even spend the night together. Don’t you feel uncomfortable deep down?”Wesley clenched his fists. After he was triggered by her words, his face became ferocious. “Sarah, I’m giving you one last chance to show me your value.”“Okay.” Sarah gnashed her teeth. “Before this, I want Thomas dead.” Wesley raised his brows and glanced at her. He then smirked. “Do you know what I like about you the most? You’re the second most ruthless woman I’ve met. You’re so cold-blooded that you can go as far a
Rebecca did not know that there was someone standing behind the glass window on the fifth floor, silently watching her leave.That man coolly stuck his hands into his pockets.The lights above him highlighted his curly hair that fell over his shoulders. A lot of men looked unattractive with long hair, yet he had an alluringly handsome face that resembled a devil’s.Nevertheless, anyone who caught sight of him would be filled with dread because of his mysterious azure eyes. His eyes could send chills down one’s spine.Everyone knew that the owner of Neah Bay, Titus Costner, had the same kind of eyes.That man was Titus’ son, Matthew Costner—the future successor of Neah Bay.“Young Master…” A tanned subordinate walked over. “I’ve inquired about it. Her last name is Jones, and she came from Australia.”“Jones?” Matthew narrowed his eyes slowly. “Don’t you think… she looks like my mom?”After keeping silent for a moment, the subordinate responded, “After taking a closer look at her
At the thought that his father was going to feel horrible later, Matthew was inwardly elated. “Mommy, I have a piece of staggering news for you this time.” Matthew’s face was filled with excitement. “What news?” Sheryl looked at him in bewilderment.“I found the child you previously gave birth to.” As soon as Matthew finished speaking, Titus tugged at his collar.“What did you just say?” Titus’ gaze made him seem as if he wanted to devour Matthew.“Shoo!” Sheryl pushed Titus away. “When you married me, you promised that you’ll accept my other child if I ever find them later on.”Titus’ mouth hung open, and his face expressed his grievances.“Don’t worry, I’ll only acknowledge the child and won’t have anything to do with my ex,” Sheryl said with a soft tone. Only then did Titus’ expression soften. “Fine, then. You can’t be in touch with that man, or I’ll certainly ruin his family.”Sheryl looked at Matthew eagerly without being bothered about Titus.“Mommy, look.” Matthew h
Matthew’s expression shifted a little, whereas Sheryl looked at Rebecca with perplexity. “You know I’m your mom, huh?”“I’ve seen you in Granny’s photo.” Rebecca began to choke up. “Something happened to you soon after you gave birth to me.”“What happened?” Sheryl asked gently, but her gaze became sharp without anyone noticing it.With her current status and rank, she had to be alert now that a daughter who seemingly came from nowhere was acknowledging her.“You got swept up in a typhoon.” Rebecca bit her lip. “I was too young back then, so I’m not very sure. I only got to know about the incident when Granny mentioned it during her last moments a few years ago. She said that you suddenly headed to Country T because of a call. At that time, there was a typhoon and you went missing after that. The police said that the typhoon might’ve swept you into the sea and you didn’t survive. Grandpa and Granny even had a cenotaph erected for you.”Sheryl’s chest stiffened.She had been rescu
“Alright, hubby. She’s my daughter. The DNA test results can’t be wrong.” Sheryl gave Titus a nasty look.Titus snorted. “She’s had plastic surgery before.”With his keen eyes, he realized it at first glance.He hated women who had undergone plastic surgery as they were inauthentic and stiff. Rebecca’s face was not even half as natural as Sheryl’s. Considering that Titus had taken an instant liking to Sheryl back then, he should not be averse to her daughter. For some reason, however, he subconsciously felt that Rebecca lacked the aura Sheryl had when she was young even though they bore a passing resemblance.Rebecca’s expression stiffened. “I didn’t mean to have plastic surgery. I offended some powerhouses in Australia a couple of years ago, so I had no choice but to have plastic surgery and leave. This is an old photo of me.”She turned on her phone and searched for an old photo before handing it to them.Luckily, she looked more like Jeffery. Her past appearance bore a sligh
“Initially, she planned to push the blame for Granny’s death to me, but Uncle and Aunt took responsibility for it in order to save me. I spent several nights escaping Melbourne and secretly left Australia after that.”“What?” Sheryl’s expression changed drastically.One owed a great debt of gratitude to their mothers for bringing them to this world. At the thought that her mother was killed, Sheryl wished she could cut her so-called niece into pieces.“How cruel!” Matthew was so infuriated that he began to criticize as well, “She killed her biological parents and grandmother? Why does such a cruel woman exist?”“I reckon she was jealous. When I got engaged to Ethan, Uncle and Aunt didn’t object to it. Instead, they showed us their support. Besides, Uncle and Granny, who took pity on me for being kidnapped back then, went all out to make it up to me. My cousin wasn’t happy about it. She thought that I snatched everything from her ever since I returned. At the same time, she hated Un
“Mom…” When Rebecca noticed that Sheryl was zoning out, she quickly called out to her for fear that Sheryl would recall something.Sheryl came back to her senses and said apologetically, “Matthew, I’ll leave Catherine to you to deal with. She must pay back for what she has done to my daughter.”“No problem, Mom. I’ll head to Australia with some people tomorrow,” Matthew promptly said, “Coincidentally, I’ve been sick of staying in Neah Bay every day.”“Take your time. Now that I know where my hometown is, I’ll definitely go back and pay my respects to my parents,” Sheryl said sorrowfully, “As for my brother, I have to find a way to find him. When the time comes, we’ll head there together. You can bring Rebecca around to familiarize her with Neah Bay during this period.”“Alright then.” Matthew obeyed his mother’s order reluctantly.Meanwhile, Rebecca was inwardly elated. With the Costner family and Sheryl’s help, she would certainly be able to deal with Catherine and Shaun. It woul
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
