“These are the receipts for the pregnancy check-ups and related examinations. She’s been going for maternity check-ups every month.”Rodney projected the pregnancy reports directly on the big screen behind him. “What would you do if you saw your four-month pregnant wife get beaten? I admit that I was impulsive, and I apologize. But in that kind of situation, I couldn’t help but lose my rationality.”The reporter said, “But as far as we know, Miss Lynch targeted Jackson Corporation first. Otherwise, Linda Shelby wouldn’t have gone to trouble Miss Lynch. Also, she went on her knees to beg, but Miss Lynch was indifferent and arrogant.”Freya frowned. “I believe you all must have watched the video. In that case, you should know that I’ve never touched Linda from beginning to end. She suddenly appeared, knelt in front of me unprovoked, and begged me. I was confused. Frankly speaking, I don’t know her well and we don’t have a good relationship. Why should I talk to her? I felt sick just b
[I went to university with Patrick and Freya. I can testify that Freya was really good to Patrick. She was subservient to him, but he was always indifferent to her. One day, when Freya got sick, I watched her get an infusion alone.][On Patrick’s birthday, Freya called many alumni to celebrate his birthday together, but he didn’t even show up.][That’s nothing. When Patrick was supposed to meet with Freya’s parents to talk about their marriage, he ran to meet Linda instead. As a result, he stood Freya’s parents up and made them wait for two hours.][Holy sh*t, is that true? He’s such a scumbag. He can compete with Wesley Lyons.][Wesley is a despicable man with no morals. Patrick is a scumbag who wasted Freya’s youth.]Catherine replied to Netizen A: [Patrick has never realized how scummy he is. He thinks that Freya shouldn’t mind Linda’s existence. He dated Freya for five years, but the person who traveled with Freya was me, the person she usually ate with was me, the person she
“Uncle…” Linda’s body shook as her eyes overflowed with tears.“Dad, don’t blame Linda. It was my choice,” Patrick said feebly.Mr. Jackson said furiously, “Those bigwigs planted false evidence against the future prime minister. Do you think the Snow family will just let it go? Jason Snow already said that they’ll pursue it to the end. The people competing against Nathan Snow will immediately go into hiding and push you out to be the scapegoat. Do you think it’s as simple as Jackson Corporation’s ruin? The Snow family has every reason to say that you’re the mastermind. You’ve caused so much trouble for the Snow family this time. They’ll never let you off.“Nathan Snow will use you as an example for the others and warn the outside world that the Snow family isn’t easy to mess with. Not anyone can provoke the Snow family.”Patrick’s body trembled.Mrs. Jackson also cried. “Son, you’re so foolish! How is our family supposed to fight against the Snow family…”As soon as those words f
“Don’t you get it? The Snow family won’t let the Jackson family off, and they won’t let the Shelby family off either. Besides… We'll talk about it if Patrick gets released. What I’m worried about is that… the Snow family won’t let him off.” Mr. Jackson sighed heavily.Mrs. Jackson froze....In the Snow residence.Freya had just finished her dinner at the large round table when Jessica received a call and said to Nathan, “Uncle, Patrick Jackson has been arrested.”“Hm.” Nathan frowned deeply and took a sip of tea. “How’s the situation with the Kramer family?”“Minister Kramer is claiming to be sick and is not meeting any guests. He has taken a few days off,” Jessica said faintly, “I’m guessing he’ll behave himself with his tail tucked between his legs for now.”“He’ll tuck his tail between his legs for a short while and then resurface to give me a hard time again?” Nathan looked at Ryan. “I originally thought of letting Minister Kramer enjoy his life in retirement, but it seems
“Am I happy?” Rodney looked confused. “I’m not.”“...”Chester snorted. Rodney’s face was full of pride, but he did not notice it himself.“I just feel like… you know, people have to get married sooner or later. Even if I don’t marry Freya, my mom will keep arranging blind dates for me. At least Freya is carrying my child. She’s beautiful and talented. My family likes her very much as well, so she’s a good marriage partner,” Rodney mulled over it and said.“Congratulations. But if it were not for this incident with Patrick, Freya wouldn’t have married you.” Chester smirked. “You got the good end of the bargain.”“Don’t say that. I’m not bad either.”Rodney had just finished speaking when the door of the room was pushed open. Shaun came in with his hands in his pockets. “What are we talking about? Hurry up and get it over with. I want to go home to my wife and kids.”“You can’t even do it. What’s the point of going back?” Rodney attacked him mercilessly.Shaun’s expression darke
Catherine blushed a little at his shamelessness. “Freya and Rodney are going back to Melbourne tomorrow. I’m planning to go back with them. Tomorrow is my grandmother’s birthday, so I want to go and pay my respects to her.”“Why didn’t you tell me earlier?” Shaun frowned. “Hadley has already arranged my itinerary for the next two days…”“It’s fine. I can go back by myself. Freya will be with me…” Catherine consoled him.“She’s her, and I’m me. It’s different. Besides, it’s our grandmother. Of course, I should go with you.” Shaun buried his face in her neck.“Ahem. Can you pay attention to your surroundings? There are two innocent children here.” Suzie planted her hands on her hips.Lucas frowned. “You’re taking up all of Mommy’s time now. She finally has some free time today, but you want to cling to her again. Can’t you share her with us a little?”“Yeah,” Suzie complained, “If I had known that you’d be so clingy, I would never have supported you two in getting back together.”
Rodney and Freya had already arrived. When they saw Catherine, Freya immediately went over to take her hand. “Cathy! With you around, going back to Melbourne won’t be so boring this time. Stay in our house tonight.”“Oh, sure. I don’t have a place to stay in Melbourne anyway.” Catherine smiled.“Look after my woman,” Shaun looked at Rodney and instructed him.“I got it. But when it comes to your woman, it’s more likely that she’ll look after me,” Rodney said in a low voice, “Honestly, why did you agree to let Catherine come with us?”“You don’t welcome her?” Shaun was unhappy. “It’s your honor to have her go with you.”Rodney was exasperated. “Enough. Catherine is a treasure in your heart, but she isn’t in mine. Don’t you know that she’s the third wheel here? I planned to… make use of this opportunity so that Freya and I could get to know each other better. Maybe we could…”He paused as his handsome face turned slightly red.Shaun glanced at him in disdain. “Don’t worry, even if
Catherine frowned deeply.She had spent a lot of effort to put Jeffery Jones and Sally Lennon in jail.Unexpectedly, they would be released before even four years had passed.No one could accept something like this.“What were their contributions?” Catherine asked curiously.“I’m not sure.” Forrest shook his head.Catherine’s brows wrinkled. “It doesn’t make sense. What contributions could remit more than 20 years of their prison sentence? I wonder if… it has something to do with Rebecca.”Freya was surprised. “You suspect that she’s back? That’s impossible. After Jeffery and his wife went to jail, Rebecca ran away without a care for her parents and hasn’t returned. That kind of person has no conscience at all.”“I don’t know, but Australia is her home. It’s normal for her to come back.” Catherine sighed.“But does she have the ability to save Jeffery and his wife?”“She’s been hiding in the dark, and I’ve never won against her in our later confrontations. If she’s really bac
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
