A long while after Freya left, Patrick still had not recovered.He wondered, ‘If only I had gone abroad to find her back then.’If it were not for those words Linda said...Linda?For the first time, Patrick seriously thought about the past.If Linda had not added fuel to the fire in the police station that day, he would not have been crazy enough to cooperate with Nathan’s competitors.As Freya had said, if Linda did not exist between them, maybe they would have gotten married a long time ago. They might even have children now.They would not have come to this point.Patrick could not help but think, ‘If only I had kept my distance from Linda when I was with Freya back then.’...After returning to the company, Patrick walked to his office door, hesitated, and went to find Linda instead.He could not find her.He remembered Freya’s reminder and opened her drawer. Inside, he saw a beautiful gift box that was wrapped tightly with a bow. It was clear that it was a gift from s
50 minutes later.Linda’s car pulled into the parking lot of a skyscraper.Patrick saw her park her car and enter a lobby with two tall security guards guarding the elevator doors.After Linda showed them something, the security guards let her into the elevator and go upstairs.Patrick was puzzled, and the driver explained to him, “There’s a luxurious club on the roof of this building, and this elevator is the only way up. It’s said that only people worth more than 50 billion dollars are qualified to bring people up. Most of the people who enter are either rich and expensive tycoons, or people at the top of the entertainment circle. It seems that your girlfriend’s status isn’t simple.”Patrick was startled.He had only recently come to the capital, so he really did not know much about these things.However, when he thought about it carefully, the identity of Linda’s friend was surely quite extraordinary. Hence, it was not strange for Linda to enter this place.He certainly did
However, what Patrick found even more unbelievable was that Linda was friends with these two vicious women.“Please drive the car out.” Patrick was not qualified to enter the clubhouse and did not hope to go in either.He got out of the car halfway and took out his phone. He hesitated for a long time before calling Freya.“Patrick…”The familiar voice almost made him lose control.However, he knew that he had completely lost his right. “Freya, I just saw Linda enter Zenith Clubhouse. Not long after, a woman who looked a bit like Rebecca went in, and then it seemed like Cindy also appeared…”“Cindy?” Freya was taken aback.“I’m not sure either,” Patrick hesitated and said, “The woman looks like Cindy, but she was wearing a cap and shades.”“Maybe it really is her. She used to be close to Rebecca.” Freya gritted her teeth. The news Patrick told her surprised her greatly.She had just finished talking to him, so she did not expect him to bring her news that evening itself.She d
“Pfft. I’m jealous?”Rodney flew into a fury. “What’s wrong with me being jealous? Can’t I get jealous because of my wife?” “...”Freya was dumbfounded.This was contrary to her expectations. She thought Rodney would deny it stoutly, but...Her face was burning with shame instead.Rodney felt humiliated at first, but as soon as he saw her blush without saying a word, the sense of humiliation in him instantly disappeared. “Anyhow, bear my words in mind. If this happens again, I’ll look for Patrick and tell him that you’re taking advantage of him.”Freya felt a surge of emotions in her chest. “Whatever. Go away. I’m going to call Cathy.”“I’m not going away. Who knows whether you’re going to take the opportunity to call Patrick when I turn around.” Rodney directly dragged a chair over and sat on it.He recalled overhearing Freya speak to Patrick so gently on the phone just now. Yet to him, she either yelled or criticized. What a huge difference in the way she treated them.
“Shaun is your buddy. Now that Rebecca wants to target him, are you going to watch as he becomes down and out?” Freya asked.Rodney immediately went silent.Only after Freya entered the house and finished her meal did he say helplessly, “You can go, but you must bring me along.”Freya threw a glance at him and nodded in the end.…40 minutes later, Catherine drove to Freya’s villa.After getting into the car, Rodney knitted his brows. “Why are you alone? Isn’t Shaun going?”“The police are at Hill Corporation again, and he’s tied up at the moment. I didn’t tell him, lest he worries about it,” Catherine replied.“If you don’t tell him, he’ll worry even more if something happens,” Rodney said in a huff. “Well, I have the two of you with me.” Catherine grinned. “No matter how far Rebecca goes, I believe she won’t be bold enough to attack the Snow family. What’s more, she has laid low for a long time before returning. I think she’s planning to torture me bit by bit and strip me
Freya felt awkward at how intimately Rodney was hugging her in public. However, she knew Rodney’s behavior was only for show, so she did not push him away. “You really love your wife a lot, Young Master Snow.” The female manager was a clever person. She said while beaming, “You’re really blessed, Young Madam Snow.”Freya simpered without saying a word.People like the female manager would be aware of what happened between Rodney and Sarah in the past, yet she still spoke sweetly to Freya. Freya could care less about them.“By the way, I saw Young Master Zeller’s car downstairs. Since I’m here, I should go and say hi to him. Where’s he?” Rodney lied, trying to probe the manager. In fact, he did not see Bryce’s car. The female manager said with a smile, “Some of his friends happen to be here, so he has gone to greet them.”“Oh, right. I might know his friends too,” Rodney replied while grinning.Catherine suddenly said softly, “Let’s not disturb them.”“Yeah,” Freya whispered,
“Young Master Snow, what brings you to Zenith today?” Bryce patted Rodney on the shoulder with a grin. They seemed to be on friendly terms.“I think Young Master Snow and his wife came here to look for me.”Rebecca’s lips curled up into a smile. Holding a glass of red wine, she cast a pensive look at Catherine and toasted her. “I wonder how you guys know I’m here.”Bryce’s face froze. Then, he shifted his confused gaze to Rodney. “Young Master Snow, this…”“Young Master Zeller, it seems like your friend knows my wife.” Rodney pretended to look surprised.“Young Master Snow, stop pretending. Not only do we know each other, but we’re also deeply entangled with each other.” Could not be bothered to play along with him, Rebecca said bluntly, “My dear cousin, have you received the letter I asked someone to send you?”“Yeah. I didn’t expect you to be so wicked to destroy your biological aunt’s tomb.” Catherine moved closer to Rebecca. A smile spread across her face as she gazed at Rebe
Having talked to Shaun twice, Bryce could tell that he was a cruel person. This was evident when Shaun recently overcame Campos Corporation in the twinkling of an eye. Bryce’s grandfather had initially objected to that person’s request to deal with Shaun because Hill Corporation was of paramount importance to Australia’s economy. He only agreed to take action as that person had an unusual identity.Nevertheless, Shaun had always acted cautiously. After two days of investigation, nothing useful in connection with Hill Corporation was found.Hill Corporation had Liona behind it too. If Bryce hurt his woman, Shaun might go down with him, considering how brutal he was.Of course, since that person had made this request, it was only a matter of time before Hill Corporation was brought down. However, now was certainly not the time to have a falling-out. Rodney jumped at the chance to scoff and say, “Also, are you treating us as dead people? Your grandfather is going to step down nex
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
