“Jump out of the car if you want.” Shaun deliberately stretched out his necktie as he instructed Hadley, “Speed up. Drive at the speed where she’ll die instantly if she jumps out right now.”“...”Catherine was speechless.This man was the devil himself.Upon realizing that Hadley was actually speeding up, she glared at him angrily but her courage to jump out of the car had instantly diminished. “Come here.” Finally, he gestured to her impatiently.“As long as you don’t tie me up,” she said worriedly.“Did I say I want to tie you up? You’re the one entertaining these filthy thoughts.” He impatiently grabbed her close and placed her on his lap.There was someone else in the car! Her cheeks flushed instantly, and she dared not move around simply. To play safe, she initiated a neutral conversation topic.“What would you like for dinner tonight? I’ll make anything you request to thank you for your help today.”“It’s always food with you.” He threw her a mocking look before laugh
Catherine nodded. She would do that even without being told.In order to express her gratitude, she made herself busy in the kitchen to prepare all of Shaun’s favorite dishes.At this moment, she was checking her social media.Well, the entire online community was criticizing Summit. Although Jeffery was not being investigated this time, the netizens did not believe the president of the company was innocent.There were even petitions across the internet to boycott Summit. Summit was going down!The people from before who misunderstood her for accepting bribes all changed their minds and started to feel sorry for her after knowing that she had been framed.She used to have a few million followers but now the number had increased to over ten million. She was even more popular than some celebrities.After dinner was ready, Aunty Linda could not help admiring the delicious-looking feast. “I didn’t know you’re such a great chef. No wonder Young Master Hill isn’t willing to eat what
When Catherine went round to the front again and their eyes met, his gaze was burning.Catherine’s face flushed red from his stare and she hurriedly lowered her eyes, not knowing how seductive her appearance was.The strings in Shaun’s brain seemed to have easily snapped and he suddenly held her waist. “Is that thing of yours finished already?”Catherine was a little bewildered and could not react. She could only subconsciously nod.Immediately after, her body was lifted from the ground.“What are you doing?” She hugged his neck in fright.“Catherine Jones, I admit that your seduction skills are getting better and better.” Shaun’s voice was husky as he carried her to the bedroom upstairs.The woman was going crazy. ‘When did I seduce you? Brother, you’re the one who told me to wipe you down. Aren’t you supposed to have superb self-control? Didn’t you think I was disgusting before?’When Catherine was thrown onto the bed, she shuddered.Although she had already expected this da
Shaun was so angry he immediately called her. “Catherine Jones, get your *ss back here right now! Do you need me to remind you of the contents of the contract? Do you think I run a charity and will work for free just because I see injustice? Or do you think that your cooking skills are worth a couple hundred million dollars?“Besides, it’s not your first time. Why are you still pretending in front of me?”Everything he said was like a whip on Catherine’s heart as she listened on the other side of the phone.In the beginning, she had felt very apologetic, but now, she was also angry. “How would you know it’s not my first time?”“Ethan Lowe and you started dating in high school. How could it be your first time?” Shaun did not believe at all that lovers could stay pure in their relationships.“I’ve never done it with him before.” Catherine felt very wronged. “I still have my first time. Whether you believe me or not is up to you.”Shaun was stunned, his heart a little frustrated. “I
“That b*tch ruined James. She’s heartless!”Sally burst into tears.“Dad, Mom, stop fighting!” Rebecca rushed up to stop the two. “Dad, have you forgotten? Now isn’t the time to despair. We still have Hudson Corporation in our hands. It’s one of the top 500 enterprises in the country. It’s much bigger than Summit!”“But that’s… the old madam’s…” Jeffery hesitated. “Dad, if you don’t find a way to get your hands on it, there might be a change,” Rebecca said in a low voice.“Rebecca is right,” Sally said ruthlessly, “Those madams used to butter me up in groups of three to five, but when Summit encountered trouble, they immediately ran away. Once Summit falls, our family will have no place to stand in Melbourne anymore!”Jeffery struggled for a while before his eyes flashed with ruthlessness. “You’re right!”...Catherine had a dream.In the dream, she seemed to have returned to Plum Garden. When she was a child, her grandparents were there and loved her very much, so she often
“I’m not someone you can just fall in love with,” he said arrogantly and left. He was not giving her a hard time anymore.The conversation ended just like that, and Catherine sighed in relief. It seemed that she still had to pretend to be deeply in love in the future....9:00 am.After she arrived at the company, she went directly to the office to find Joseph.She had been on leave since she was arrested by the police previously and had not been to the company since.Firstly, she was afraid that her colleagues’ comments would make things hard for Joseph, and she did not want Talton Design’s reputation to be damaged again.Although the lawsuit was over, she still felt guilty toward Joseph.“Joseph, I’m really sorry. I haven’t been in the company for long yet I’m always causing trouble for you and the company.”Catherine was very grateful. She knew that Joseph had been under a lot of pressure for not firing her.“It’s okay, I’ve always believed in your character.” Joseph smile
In the afternoon, Catherine had just stepped out of the elevator when Ethan’s figure appeared and blocked her way.“Do you know how annoying you are? Didn’t I make things clear to you the last time?”Catherine saw him and took a detour.“Cathy, your grandmother passed away!” Ethan suddenly grabbed her arm. “Don’t you know anything about it?”Catherine’s body shook. She turned around slowly, her eyes filled with disbelief. “You’re lying!”“I’m not. I kept calling you today because I wanted to comfort you, but it looks like the Jones family really didn’t tell you anything.”Ethan had just finished speaking when Catherine broke away from him and ran to her car.However, her hands were shaking so much that she could not open the door.“Come on, you can’t drive like this. I’ll take you there since I know the place.” Ethan took her car keys and opened the door. He helped her in and buckled her seatbelt before speeding to the funeral parlor.After getting out of the car, Catherine st
“Can you please not fight about your personal affairs at Granny’s funeral?!”Catherine interrupted them coldly and silently walked over to the coffin.It seemed like she could not do anything for her grandmother now except kneel.She felt horrible. Grandma and Grandpa were both powerful people in Melbourne when they were young. Without them, there would be no Jones family today.However, when they died, they had left quickly and quietly. There were not even guests here to mourn for them....It became dark.Shaun drove back to the villa and found that only Aunty Linda was cooking at home.“Where’s Catherine?”“She isn’t back yet.” Aunty Linda had just finished speaking when she saw the handsome face suddenly turn frosty.She secretly sighed in her heart. She had never seen Shaun so clingy before. He asked for his wife first thing after coming home.Shaun looked at his watch that showed 6:30 p.m..Was she stuck in traffic? He quickly called her, but no one answered.Damn it
