When the car arrived at the Hill family’s manor, Shaun and Catherine had not settled the problem yet.Catherine got down from the car and left first. She was slightly angry. Shaun looked at her from behind for a while before he strode ahead and followed her.When he reached the door, Valerie’s angry yelling came from the inside. “Catherine, your cousin gave me a call. You’re the one who brought all these troubles. Hill Corporation was investigated because of you too. Shaun hid the truth from us. If I were you, I’d put myself out there voluntarily so that Rebecca’s anger could quell and see if things could be settled peacefully. Anyway, you shouldn’t drag our Hill family’s 100-year-old business down with you.”Catherine stood in the middle of the living room. Her straight back was trembling slightly.Shaun found the scene unbearable to watch. “Enough. This issue can’t be solved simply by putting Catherine out there. Rebbeca is targeting me for throwing her into the mountains last
“Grandpa.” Shaun walked forward and patted the agitated Old Master Hill’s back. “Just let them be. Second Uncle and Aunt Valerie have their own family and kids. Everyone has their own choices.”Valerie and Spencer both let out a sigh of relief when they saw Shaun agreeing. However, Valerie still muttered discontentedly, “We didn’t want to sell the shares at first, but we were forced to. Why did Shaun and Catherine have to offend such powerful people?”“Get lost.” Old Master Hill desperately wanted to hit her to death with his walking stick. “Since you’ve sold the Hill family’s properties, don’t ever come back.”“Dad, why don’t you and Mom leave with us?” Spencer said hesitantly.“I’d rather hit my head and die than leave with you who sold your ancestors’ properties,” Old Master Hill said furiously.Lea did not say a word from the beginning until the end as she sat on the chair. She still had not fully recovered from her injuries the last time. After the two people left, she said,
Shaun pretended not to hear her as he continued to walk over and hug her.However, Catherine kept pushing, and both of them continued to shove each other in the dark.In the end, the man was still stronger. As soon as Shaun pulled her into his embrace, he lowered his head and kissed her deeply.“Mm… Shaun, I’m not… joking.” Catherine kept avoiding him. Finally, with much difficulty, she blocked his face with her hand.“Cathy, if I don’t stay behind to finish off Rebecca and the person behind her, do you think Rebecca won’t chase after you once you’ve escaped overseas with the children?”Shaun said with a hoarse voice, “I’ve discussed this with Nathan a few days ago. The force behind Rebecca isn’t too influential in Australia. However, we’re stepping into their territory if we go overseas. Even with my dad protecting you guys, squashing all of you will be as easy as squashing an ant for them. That’s why I must eliminate them in Australia. Do you understand?”Catherine was taken ab
Matthew was astonished. Actually, he knew everything Rebecca had done, but he really could not meddle in those affairs. He also hoped that he could help Catherine, so he immediately agreed after listening to her request. “Okay, I’ll contact my dad.”… At that time, Matthew had just woken up. He immediately went downstairs to the study to look for Titus. “Dad, Catherine called me just now. She said you still owe her a favor. She wants to meet you.”Titus understood. He did promise her that he could save a life.He just did not expect her to look for him so quickly.Matthew studied Titus’s unpredictable expressions and could not help but complain softly, “Dad, you should know by now, right? Mom has used a huge sum of money to hire Julian Grayson’s team for Rebecca. She even spent a few hundred billion dollars to acquire Hill Corporation. She must’ve gone crazy.”Titus rubbed his forehead. He just got to know about it not long ago too. After all, Sheryl’s actions were so quick th
Rebecca grabbed the opportunity and said, “Mom, did you get into a fight with Uncle Titus recently? He has been sleeping in the study. I don’t think it’s good for a married couple to sleep on separate beds for too long. It makes it easier for feelings to change. Many books that I’ve read said the same thing. You should take note of this.”“Enough, you don’t have to worry about Titus and me.” Sheryl asked half-heartedly, “You went to Hill Corporation this morning. How was it?”“I wanted to go to Hill Corporation’s laboratory and factory to have a look, but Shaun had Liona’s members stop me. They didn’t allow me to enter. It’s so infuriating.” Rebecca was upset. “I didn’t dare go against them by force. My face already hurts a lot from Catherine slapping me yesterday.”Sheryl looked at Rebecca’s face, which was covered in a thick layer of foundation, and was immediately overwhelmed by anger. Her daughter had been bullied by people time and time again. “Take more people with you. If you
The way she addressed Sheryl made Titus very unhappy. However, he had to admit that what Sheryl had done was indeed too unreasonable.However, Catherine might not have guessed that he was the force behind the scenes that she was talking about.That must be why she told him her plans.“Are you sure you can leave safely?” Titus could not help but raise his eyebrows.Catherine pursed her lips together. She could not tell him that she would be boarding Brennan’s private airplane to leave, right?“I’ll just go with the flow. If I can leave, I’ll leave. If I can’t, worse comes to worst, they can take my life away. I just hope that person still has some last bit of humanity left to spare the innocent children.” Catherine laughed bitterly. “But that person probably doesn’t have any humanity to speak of at all. Mr. Costner, if…”After giving it some thought, Catherine shook her head uneasily. “If I can’t leave safely in the end, please change the plan and save my two kids, Mr. Costner. I
Although more than 20 years had passed and Sheryl’s face was now mature, it also became more feminine and charming.However, her nose and eyes remained the same.Catherine would not be mistaken.That person might be… Her….Slap.A resounding slap landed on Catherine’s face, and she was pushed onto the sofa by the force of the slap. Her whole head was buzzing.She was in disbelief and at a loss.Catherine had just thought that the woman might be the one whom Joel had seen. That woman most probably was her biological mother. Yet before she could say a word, she was slapped by the person who might be her mother.She would not be upset if she was slapped by someone else. However, that person was probably her mother.Catherine’s mother may not have been by her side ever since she was young, but she admired Sheryl from the stories that other people had told her. She had once imagined the scene of her and her mother reuniting as well. Would her mother be happy or emotional?She
“Matthew, let go of me. You actually hooked up with this b*tch, Catherine behind my back. You should know about my relationship with Catherine. She’s a shameless woman.” Sheryl was so exasperated that she simply blurted some words.Catherine’s head buzzed upon hearing that.That woman said she had a relationship with her?What relationship?Could that woman have known from the start that she was her daughter?Matthew was utterly astonished. His mom’s imagination was too much. “Mom, it’s not what you think it is. Catherine is my friend. She came to look for me regarding some problems. I came over with Dad today.”“Are you covering up for your dad?” Sheryl did not believe him at all. “Also, you’re surprisingly treating her as a friend. You, father and son, have been fooled by her. Matthew, you disappoint me.”Matthew bit his lips in frustration. Why did his tongue slip just now? “Mom, I can swear it. There’s really nothing between Dad and her. Dad only has you in his heart.”“You
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
