As Suzie and Lucas were his grandchildren, Brennan deemed it necessary to look after them. However, he was not obliged to do the same for the other members of the Hills. He came here today for the sake of his son.“Dad…” Valerie leaped to her feet with a hint of dissatisfaction“Enough. You guys have enjoyed more than half of your lives. Money lost can still be earned again. What matters is that you’re still alive,” Old Master Hill responded with a deep sigh.After some time, Valerie, who was in the main hall, muttered, “I wonder who the powerful enemy that the Hill family has offended is.”Catherine’s eyes narrowed. She could not help but tighten his grip on Shaun’s hands.…Catherine remained silent throughout her journey back to the villa with Shaun at night.“Cathy, don’t take my aunty’s words to heart.” Shaun suddenly stopped and caressed her tender, smooth face.Overwhelmed with guilt, Catherine said, “How can I not take her words to heart? If I hadn’t looked for you in M
Shaun was so shameless that he even put his hand across Catherine’s shoulder. “There’s nothing wrong with it. They’ll do the same when they grow up anyway.”“Who would want to behave like you, pervert?” Suzie scoffed. Lucas then mocked, “Grandma said the Hill family is going to collapse soon, yet you guys are in the mood to make out?”Shaun replied indifferently, “But you guys are in the mood to watch us?”Suzie asked weakly, “I just want to know if I’ll still get to eat sweets after the Hill family collapses.”Everyone was at a loss for words.What a foodie she was.Lucas rolled his eyes at her. “Don’t worry. Even if the Hill family collapses, I’ll start a business and make a lot of money for you so that you won’t have to think about anything else other than spending money.”“That’s great,” Suzie said as she lifted her chubby and cute face.At the sight of the scene, Catherine and Shaun could not help but burst into laughter even though they were slightly stressed just now.
Titus thought it was a senior manager from the bank. Hence, he turned his head around, only to find himself shocked. He froze for a few seconds.The woman, who was walking out of the bank, looked like she was in her twenties. She was wearing a bright yellow knitted top with an A-line maxi skirt. She exuded a clean, elegant aura. Her long milky-brown hair was tied in a ponytail, and her figure was perfect. What was more breathtaking was her face.Titus had seen a lot of beautiful women in his whole life. However, only one could make his heart throb, and it was Sheryl. Sheryl used to be pretty in a wild manner.The young woman in front of him made him, in a daze, recall the old Sheryl.They looked very alike. Those lips. That nose.Although their eyes were not similar, the gleam in Catherine’s eyes looked exactly like Sheryl’s in the past.He even felt as if time was distorted and that he had traveled back more than 20 years ago to meet Sheryl. When the senior managers at the sid
“...”It felt like the conversation could not go on.However, Catherine had some admiration for that kind of man.“President Costner, if you insist on thinking that I have an ambiguous relationship with Matthew, I think I’m not the only one whom you’re humiliating. You’re humiliating your son and looking down on your son too.”Catherine reacted quickly and retorted, “Although this is my first time meeting you, President Costner, I can see that you’re a very wise and calm person. A son who was brought up by a successful person like you must be very clever and restrained. He shouldn’t be someone who’s easily seduced by beauty or be in an ambiguous situation with someone whom he knows is married and with children.”A hint of amusement flashed across Titus’ deep-set, handsome face.This woman made him think of the old Sheryl again. She was eloquent and just as sharp.If he insisted that Catherine had seduced Matthew, he would be indirectly admitting Matthew’s intelligence and charac
“Do you not care, or… are you afraid of failure?”Catherine spoke boldly. Just as she finished speaking, she felt Titus’s bone-chilling gaze on her. She really felt a sense of danger and intimidation that she had never felt before.“You’re trying to provoke me.” Titus smiled coldly. Suddenly, he bent down, and his tone was harsh. “To be honest, if you let my son sleep with you for a night, maybe I’ll consider your request.”Catherine frowned. “I’m sorry, but I’m here to negotiate with you and not to talk about sex. I think you’re mistaken.”“The mistaken one is you. You’re the one begging me now.” Titus was expressionless.“Yes, I’m begging, but I have my principles. Money can be earned again if it’s lost, but if all principles are gone, that’s beyond saving.”Although Catherine regretted coming, she had tried her best, and she accepted the reality of things. “Since you’re not willing, forget it. However, I hope you can consider it properly. After all, no king in history hated
“Matthew, are you suspecting your sister’s words for the sake of an outsider?”Titus gazed at Matthew deeply. “If your mom finds out…”“I’m not suspecting Rebecca. I just think… maybe there’s a misunderstanding.” Matthew said in a low voice, “Yesterday, Catherine came to look for me to see if I could help. I rejected her at first, but I tested her by saying I could send her overseas. However, she rejected it. I can tell that she really loves Shaun. From a bystander’s point of view, she’s quite kind and loyal. Would such a person harm her biological grandmother and parents?”“Matthew, she was abducted for more than ten years and was just found not long ago. It’s not impossible to do that sort of thing if she doesn’t have a lot of feelings for the Jones family’s members. She might be deceiving you. That woman is very cunning.”Titus’s gaze was indifferent. “To be honest, I’m not interested in the matters of the Jones family. It’s only because the Jones family used to be your mom’s fa
Of course, if Catherine did not look for Matthew, Titus would have to view her in a different light.After giving out his orders, Titus gave Sheryl a call. His tone was gentle. “Wifey, when are you coming back?”“I’m still shopping.” Sheryl was the same as most women when she was shopping. “Aren’t we staying in Canberra for some time? I plan to buy more clothes and skincare products with Rebecca.”“Buy some clothes for me too.” Titus immediately said in a cutesy manner, “Come back faster. I’ll wait for you to have dinner.”Sheryl was quite speechless at that 40-year-old man for still acting cutesy.“Mom, I think this dress suits you a lot,” Rebecca said with a smile as she brought a blue embroidered dress over. Sheryl took a glance at the dress and thought the style was ordinary. However, seeing that Rebecca recommended it with such enthusiasm, she said, “Let’s buy it then.”“Aren’t you going to try it on?” Rebecca asked.“No need.”Sheryl handed her card over.Rebecca was d
‘Joel Yule…’Those were the two words that instantly appeared in Sheryl’s mind.When she found out that she had a past with Joel, she searched for Joel’s information on the internet behind Titus’ back. The pictures on the internet were very similar to the person in front of her.He just looked younger in the pictures.“Excuse me. I don’t know you. You’ve got the wrong person.” Sheryl’s expression was cold. Having heard of the man before, she did not have a good impression of him nor want to have any interactions with him.Joel was taken aback. Then, he shook his head. “It’s impossible. I remember how you look. Sherry, I thought you were dead…”He even lost control and grabbed Sheryl’s arm agitatedly.However, just as he touched her, a man, probably a bodyguard, stepped forward and shoved Joel’s hand away. After that, the bodyguard used his arm to shield Sheryl quickly. “Madam, please get in the car.”Sheryl walked toward the car right away. Rebecca, who was at the side, immedia
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
