When the car arrived at the Hill familyโs 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, Valerieโs angry yelling came from the inside. โCatherine, your cousin gave me a call. Youโre 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, Iโd put myself out there voluntarily so that Rebeccaโs anger could quell and see if things could be settled peacefully. Anyway, you shouldnโt drag our Hill familyโs 100-year-old business down with you.โCatherine stood in the middle of the living room. Her straight back was trembling slightly.Shaun found the scene unbearable to watch. โEnough. This issue canโt be solved simply by putting Catherine out there. Rebbeca is targeting me for throwing her into the mountains last
โGrandpa.โ Shaun walked forward and patted the agitated Old Master Hillโs back. โJust let them be. Second Uncle and Aunt Valerie have their own family and kids. Everyone has their own choices.โValerie and Spencer both let out a sigh of relief when they saw Shaun agreeing. However, Valerie still muttered discontentedly, โWe didnโt want to sell the shares at first, but we were forced to. Why did Shaun and Catherine have to offend such powerful people?โโGet lost.โ Old Master Hill desperately wanted to hit her to death with his walking stick. โSince youโve sold the Hill familyโs properties, donโt ever come back.โโDad, why donโt you and Mom leave with us?โ Spencer said hesitantly.โIโd rather hit my head and die than leave with you who sold your ancestorsโ properties,โ 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.โMmโฆ Shaun, Iโm notโฆ joking.โ Catherine kept avoiding him. Finally, with much difficulty, she blocked his face with her hand.โCathy, if I donโt stay behind to finish off Rebecca and the person behind her, do you think Rebecca wonโt chase after you once youโve escaped overseas with the children?โShaun said with a hoarse voice, โIโve discussed this with Nathan a few days ago. The force behind Rebecca isnโt too influential in Australia. However, weโre 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. Thatโs why I must eliminate them in Australia. Do you understand?โCatherine 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. โOkay, Iโll contact my dad.โโฆ At that time, Matthew had just woken up. He immediately went downstairs to the study to look for Titus. โDad, Catherine called me just now. She said you still owe her a favor. She wants to meet you.โTitus 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 Titusโs unpredictable expressions and could not help but complain softly, โDad, you should know by now, right? Mom has used a huge sum of money to hire Julian Graysonโs team for Rebecca. She even spent a few hundred billion dollars to acquire Hill Corporation. She mustโve gone crazy.โTitus rubbed his forehead. He just got to know about it not long ago too. After all, Sherylโs actions were so quick th
Rebecca grabbed the opportunity and said, โMom, did you get into a fight with Uncle Titus recently? He has been sleeping in the study. I donโt think itโs good for a married couple to sleep on separate beds for too long. It makes it easier for feelings to change. Many books that Iโve read said the same thing. You should take note of this.โโEnough, you donโt have to worry about Titus and me.โ Sheryl asked half-heartedly, โYou went to Hill Corporation this morning. How was it?โโI wanted to go to Hill Corporationโs laboratory and factory to have a look, but Shaun had Lionaโs members stop me. They didnโt allow me to enter. Itโs so infuriating.โ Rebecca was upset. โI didnโt dare go against them by force. My face already hurts a lot from Catherine slapping me yesterday.โSheryl looked at Rebeccaโs 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. โTake 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.โAre you sure you can leave safely?โ Titus could not help but raise his eyebrows.Catherine pursed her lips together. She could not tell him that she would be boarding Brennanโs private airplane to leave, right?โIโll just go with the flow. If I can leave, Iโll leave. If I canโt, 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.โ Catherine laughed bitterly. โBut that person probably doesnโt have any humanity to speak of at all. Mr. Costner, ifโฆโAfter giving it some thought, Catherine shook her head uneasily. โIf I canโt 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 Sherylโs 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 beโฆ Herโฆ.Slap.A resounding slap landed on Catherineโs 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.Catherineโs 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
โMatthew, let go of me. You actually hooked up with this b*tch, Catherine behind my back. You should know about my relationship with Catherine. Sheโs a shameless woman.โ Sheryl was so exasperated that she simply blurted some words.Catherineโs 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 momโs imagination was too much. โMom, itโs 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.โโAre you covering up for your dad?โ Sheryl did not believe him at all. โAlso, youโre surprisingly treating her as a friend. You, father and son, have been fooled by her. Matthew, you disappoint me.โMatthew bit his lips in frustration. Why did his tongue slip just now? โMom, I can swear it. Thereโs really nothing between Dad and her. Dad only has you in his heart.โโYou
Behind the banana tree, Charity drew the leaves and walked out.She wore a discreet smile. โI didnโt expect Young Master Jewell to be so well-liked by girls. Girls these days are really bold and proactive. Iโm old.โLooking at Charityโs pretty face, Chester could not help but smirk. โIf youโre considered old, Iโm even older.โโFor men, the older, the more charming,โ Charity said.โReally?โ Chester suddenly grabbed hold of her hand and pulled it. โDo you think Iโm charming?โCharity made a point to size him up. A moment later, a look of disdain washed over her face. โNot in the slightest.โChester was exasperated. โEven if Iโm not, I wonโt allow you to escape my clutches.โAs 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.โGo away. You may kiss your girlโฆโCharity
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, โDo you want me to toss the bouquet to you?โ โNo.โCharity 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.โAlright. Although you donโt want it, it doesnโt mean he feels the same.โ 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?โWhat gives? Could he have done it with you?โ As soon as Freya noticed that Charity was quiet, she asked with interest and curiosity.โYouโre overthinking it.โCatherine said with a discreet smile, โEven if thereโs something wrong with that part of his, he couldโve done it if he wanted to.โโWow. Sure enough, you know everything, Cathy.โ Freya chuckled. โCharity, you can get Cathy to teach you one day.โHowever, Catherine still felt a little embarrassed, and her face flushed red. โShaun 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.โ After all, no one could beat Chester when it came to his experience with women.Charity was silent for a while before she said, โIt doesnโt matter to me. Iโll let nature take its
โYou havenโt answered my question.โ Charity asked in annoyance, โWhy were you in a hurry to get away from me?โ A miserable look washed over Chesterโs face. โIf I hadnโt done that, Iโm afraid I wouldnโt have been able to get hold of myself.โCharity looked down at the lower part of Chesterโs body. โIs it becauseโฆ you canโt control it anymore?โHer directness caused Chesterโs face to turn grim. โCharity, do you mean that I have no sexual urges? There were homosexual eunuchs in the past. Although that part of mine canโt function, I can still feel the necessary sensations. When I see your sexy side, I still have the urge to hug and kiss you.โOnce 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.โCharity, next time, can Iโฆโ Chester suddenly bit his tongue and stared at her. โKiss you?โCharityโs 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. โCharity, itโs about time to wake up. Youโre going to be a bridesmaid today. You need to wake up early.โWhile 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.โAre you planning to lie in?โAs it was rare to see Charity so lazy, Chester secretly laughed. โLet me help you get changed.โBy the time he staggered to her wardrobe and took out the bridesmaidโs outfit, Charity had woken up with a startle. โWhy 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 Chesterโs deep, gentle voice. โCharity, wake upโฆโShe opened her eyes to see Chesterโs face close up. Charity was exhausted. She woke up groggily, and her brain felt like it was not working. She rubbed her eyes. โHow did I fall asleep?โHer hand felt slightly wet, and only then did she realize she was lying in the bathtub naked. Her bodyโs 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. โWho allowed you to enter without knocking? Get out.โโI called you, but you didnโt hear me.โChester lied without flinching. โI came in because I was worried something happened to you. Youโve been in
โI should be the one asking you why youโre in my room,โ Chester asked Charity as he raised his beautiful brows and smiled like a sly fox.โ...โCharity 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. โAre you afraid that Iโll eat you up?โโYou think you can do that, huh?โ Charity turned around and glimpsed at the lower part of his body. โCan you do it now?โChesterโs 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.โSince you know I canโt do that, what are you afraid of?โ Chester gripped her waist. โCharity, stay here. All other rooms are occupied. If you donโt stay here, you have nowhere else to go.โCharity stomped on his foot. โDid y
โSuspect that the child is yours?โ 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. โAs 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 hasnโt noticed it?โChester was momentarily stunned, and a thought flashed across his mind. He was a little perplexed, but he dared not give it a thought. โDo you meanโฆโโPerhaps she has found out about it long ago, but she just hasnโt exposed it.โ Shaun said indifferently, โI 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?โChester revealed a strange expression, but he was holding on to some hope. โMaybe she didnโt guess it. They m
Catherine, Freya, and Charity were sitting together and chatting. When Chase went over, Catherine immediately asked protectively, โWhatโs wrong?โ โYour husband is bullying me.โ Chase hid behind Catherine and glanced at Shaun, who was walking over with a dark expression. โMove your paw off my wife,โ Shaun warned with gritted teeth. If it were not for Catherineโs presence, he would have thrown Chase off the plane. โWhat are you doing?โCatherine glared at her husband. โChase and I are friends. Weโre besties. Whatโs with your attitude?โโThatโs right.โ Chase straightened his back with Catherineโs support. โI 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. Iโm so much better than you guys, yet I still donโt have a girlfriend. Did I say something wrong? How unfair is this?โโIs he angry because of that?โ Freya asked sarcastically. Chase nodded repeatedly. โWas I wrong?โ Catherine threw the bag o
