“Don’t worry, Lucas. I’ll definitely rescue Suzie.” Catherine could only try her best to console Lucas.Even without Lucas’ reminder, she knew that the kidnapping definitely had something to do with Wesley and Rebecca.She immediately dialed Elle’s number. “Do you know where Wesley and Rebecca are?”“Wesley has gone to Melbourne while Rebecca is in the Costner family’s villa.” Elle had been informed of the incident as well. She was very worried. “I’ve noticed that there are many police and guards at the Costner family’s villa lately. Maybe Prime Minister Snow mobilized them to protect the Costner family after something happened to Matthew.”Catherine’s face was pale.Wesley had gone to Melbourne. Even if she risked everything to catch him, it would be too late.“Elle, ask Hadley to come to the hospital to take care of Shaun. I’ll go to the Costner family’s villa.”Even if it was a lion’s den, Catherine had to capture Rebecca today.“Miss Jones, I’ll go along with you,” Elle sai
The guard was met with silence. He said coldly, “It’s obvious that you’re here to create a ruckus by bringing so many people here. Leave immediately. We have distinguished guests inside. If you want to barge in, then I have no choice but to take my gun out.”There were more than ten security guards behind him.Catherine felt as though her chest was about to burst from anger. However, she could only hold it in. She could not lose her life due to recklessness. If that happened, she would not be able to rescue Suzie. “I want to meet Titus.”“President Costner isn’t here.”“I have to go in today no matter what. I suspect that the people inside kidnapped my child. She’s in danger.” Catherine met the security guard’s gaze with red eyes.The guard frowned. “Our duty is to protect the people inside. I can’t let you go in.”Catherine did not expect the guards of the Costner family’s villa to be so strict.She took a deep breath and restrained herself. She took her phone out and called Ti
“Hit by a car?” Titus narrowed his eyes.“Mm.” When Suzie recalled that incident, fear flashed across her petite face. “It was also because… I wanted to have cake. Then… Then a car came flying… because someone hit it. Luckily, Dad was amazing. He saved Lucas and me…”“Who hit the car?” Titus’ brows were knitted together in a tight frown.“Lucas said it’s Meanie Wesley,” Suzie said angrily, “He’s a bad guy.”“Meanie Wesley?” Titus raised his eyebrows.“Mm.” Suzie nodded her head firmly. Her fists were flying around as she was outraged. “In the past… he was nice to us. But… It was all fake. Hmph, he’s a liar. He even beat Mom up. He also had an affair… Disgusting!”“How does a little kid like you know so much?” Titus asked. “Your dad and mom told you these things?”“Lucas told me.” Suzie pouted. “He’s just older than me by a few minutes, but… he knows just a little bit more than me…”Titus finally understood.Catherine must have given birth to a pair of twins—a boy and a girl. L
Catherine desperately wanted Rebecca to die. She hated Sheryl too.Although Sheryl was her biological mother, she still hated her.It was okay for Sheryl not to like Catherine. It was forgivable that she was deceived and instigated by Rebecca. However, if she condoned Rebecca kidnapping Catherine’s child, Catherine would never forgive her.That was because it would mean that Sheryl was evil by nature. “Suzie, I’m sorry. I didn’t protect you well. I’ll never let anything happen to you again in the future.” Catherine looked at her daughter intently and added silently, ‘Even if I have to risk going to jail, I must send Rebecca, Wesley, and Sarah to jail.’That way, her children would be able to grow up safely.Even if she had to lose her freedom for the rest of her life and be unable to stay by Shaun’s side, she had to protect her children.Titus looked at the mother and daughter with complicated feelings.He was someone who had walked on both the bright and dark paths before, es
Sheryl and Rebecca saw Suzie, who was in Catherine’s arms.One of them frowned deeply, while the heart of the other person skipped a beat.Rebecca had clearly told those people to finish off Suzie. Why was Suzie still alive and well? No wonder Big Boss Davis could not be contacted all of a sudden.However, it was impossible that Catherine could find Suzie that quickly.Rebecca started racking her brain. She quickly said, “Uncle Titus, we knew from the start that Catherine was making a fuss at the entrance. She even brought a lot of people with her. I was afraid that she would hurt Mom, so I didn’t let her in. What are you and Catherine talking about? She can’t possibly be begging you to let her in, right?”“Titus, get inside right now.”Sheryl was talking to him in a commanding tone in front of everyone, and it made Titus’ face look awful.“Did you hear me? Is this woman seducing you again?” Sheryl was filled with hatred when she saw Catherine’s face that looked like hers when s
Every one of those scenes almost made Sheryl go crazy.“You’ll definitely do that. All men are horrible! It’s not like you didn’t have any ex-girlfriends before meeting me.” Sheryl glared at Titus furiously.“Mom, don’t quarrel with Uncle Titus…”Before Rebecca finished her sentence, Catherine stepped forward and slapped her hard. “Rebecca!” Sheryl was shocked. When she came back to her senses, she immediately raised her hand to slap Catherine too.However, Catherine quickly grabbed Sheryl’s hand and gazed at Sheryl’s face.This was the face she used to think about countless times in her memories.Her heart was in pain as though someone was squeezing it.Catherine asked coldly, “If you weren’t my mother or my elder, I’d slap you too.”Sheryl sneered. “Don’t think I don’t know about your intentions. You want to be my daughter because there are plenty of benefits to reap. Unfortunately, how could I possibly have given birth to such an evil daughter like you?”“Hah.” Catherine
“I didn’t, I didn’t….”Rebecca denied it repeatedly.She was shaking like a leaf.Recently, she had been trying to please Titus, Matthew, and Sheryl. She thought she could deceive everyone by being careful.She was even secretly pleased with herself, even thinking that these people were too easy to foolUnexpectedly, her schemes had not been able to escape Titus’ eyes.This man was too terrifying.“You didn’t?” Titus sneered coldly. “Do you know why I never said anything before? It’s because I thought you were Sheryl’s daughter. I knew that she owed you and is trying to make things up to you, so I turned a blind eye. After all, I’ve seen too many people like you in the Costner family. You want money, but that’s fine since I have money. It’s harmless to give you a little more, but it’s obvious that you want more.”“Uncle Titus, you’ve really misunderstood me. Did Catherine say something to you? Don’t be deceived by her.” Rebecca continued to struggle.Catherine could not bear t
“That’s only if you’re really her daughter.” Titus’ sharp eyes seemed to penetrate Rebecca. “Take her away.”“Of course, I am. The DNA test is the best proof,” Rebecca said. “Titus, you’re clearly having an affair with Catherine. You’re in cahoots with her to deceive Mom. You hypocrite!”As she cursed, Titus’ expression darkened with anger. Someone finally dragged Rebecca away to lock her up.“Go.”Titus picked Sheryl up and turned around to walk out. He got into the car and left.Catherine stood frozen in place. Her mind echoed with Titus’ words earlier. ‘That’s only if you’re really her daughter’.It seemed that Titus was already suspecting that Rebecca was a fake.However, even if he believed that, Sheryl would not.Catherine’s mouth curled in self-deprecation. Actually, it no longer mattered to her who Sheryl’s daughter was anymore.When she thought of the malicious words Sheryl had said to her and how Sheryl had helped the enemy again and again, she was a little disgusted
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
