“What happens if a normal person takes it?” Titus suddenly interrupted the doctor with an unpleasant expression.The doctor paused. “Then it’ll be a little troublesome. As you know, it’s a drug. At first, the person will suffer from insomnia and fatigue. Later on, there’ll be a decline in memory and intelligence. The person’s temper will become irate, their mind will become sluggish, and their mood will become restless. In serious cases, the person might hallucinate and even become addicted.”“Addicted?” Titus clenched his fists, veins fiercely throbbing on the back of his hands.The symptoms that the doctor listed were very much in line with Sheryl’s current state.It was all his fault for being too negligent lately. He only thought that Sheryl was simply jealous and in a bad mood because of Catherine, which was why she kept arguing with him.If not for Catherine’s reminder, he would never have brought Sheryl for a full check-up.“Yes, it’s just like taking drugs,” the doctor sa
After all, who would have thought that they would discover Rebecca’s vicious nature after coming to Australia?“Go back to the villa now. I want to interrogate Rebecca.” Titus’ eyes were chilling, and his brows were furrowed.He had never been played by a woman like this in his whole life.He thought that Rebecca was just money-loving, greedy, and a phony. However, he never thought that she would dare to drug Sheryl.He hated her so much that he wanted to skin her alive.However, before that, he had to find out why Rebecca gave Sheryl that drug.He remembered that Sheryl had always been good to her. Maybe Sheryl found out about Rebecca’s intentions but Sheryl had already acknowledged Rebecca as her daughter. Sheryl once told him that she owed her daughter and wanted to make it up to her, so why did Rebecca need to do something so desperate like drugging her?...The car sped to the villa.Right after he got out of the car, he noticed that several guards in the front yard were
The assistant was shocked. “That can’t be.”Then, he suddenly realized that after Titus took Sheryl to the hospital today, only two bodyguards were left in the hospital. They were still keeping guard outside her ward.Besides the butler and servants, only the security guards were left in the villa.If a housekeeper or servant wanted to push Rebecca down, the woman would definitely scream and resist. However, none of the guards knew about it and thought that she fell to her death from the window because she tried to escape.It was too bizarre.“President Costner, are you suspecting that…” That it was someone from the security team who killed Rebecca?When the assistant said that, Titus gave him a warning look and spoke in a voice that only the two of them could hear, “She has bruises on her back and arms, which she probably got when grappling with another person.”The assistant fell silent.Titus was the head of the Costner family.Although the Costner family was fiercely compe
Elle was afraid that Shaun would strangle her to death when he recovered.“Go and change.” Catherine saw Elle’s embarrassed look and took out a set of men’s casual clothes from the closet. The clothes would make him look like a man with a sunny disposition. It was a pair of jeans and a denim shirt. She thought that Shaun would definitely look good in them.However, Shaun took one look at the clothes and frowned. “I don’t like them. They’re ugly.”“They’re not ugly. They look good. You’ll look like someone with a sunny disposition if you wear these clothes.” Catherine coaxed him.“I don’t want to wear these.” Shaun twisted his body. His spoiled attitude made Elle have goosebumps all over. She really did not know how Catherine could face Young Master Hill when he was acting like this. It was indeed true love.“Then what do you want to wear?” Catherine sighed and asked in resignation.Shaun grinned, his white teeth flashing brightly. “The PAW Patrol shirt Lucas wore last time looks
Catherine remembered seeing this person beside Titus before.Titus had helped her yesterday, so she could not refuse. “Okay.”She wanted to go to the parking lot anyway.They took the elevator down.Shaun leaned on the glass elevator like a curious baby. The glass was transparent, so he could see the crowd on the first floor below.“Wow! Look, Cathy. There are so many people.”Warren could not help but glance over. He had seen Shaun Hill’s powerful appearance in the news, so his behavior seemed… odd. Catherine did not explain anything to him. After reaching the parking lot, she persuaded Shaun to wait in Hadley’s car first.“No, I wanna go with you.” Shaun held her hand tightly.“Okay.” Catherine had no choice but to take him along.Titus was sitting in a Rolls-Royce sedan.Catherine opened the door and saw Titus in the backseat. After hesitating, she let Shaun get in first before sitting by the door.“Hello, Mister,” Shaun smiled politely and called out sweetly when he sa
“She’s dead. I went back too late last night, and when I came back, it turned out Rebecca had fallen from the balcony and died. The guard said that she fell to her death when she was trying to escape. Her body has already been sent to the funeral home.”Catherine was stunned.She was a little dumbfounded.She had always regarded Rebecca as an indestructible cockroach. How did she suddenly die like that?She had painstakingly made up one lie after another and became Sheryl’s daughter just so she could get revenge on Catherine and Shaun. She was completely fine before this, so how did she suddenly die?Catherine felt like she was dreaming.“How could Rebecca die so easily?” Catherine muttered. “Is she faking it?”“It’s true.” Titus nodded and made light of the matter. “It’s just a dead person. What’s the big deal?”Catherine smiled wryly. “You might not know this, but I’ve been fighting Rebecca for several years. Every time I think that I’m about to win, she’s somehow able to tur
Catherine’s gentle face stiffened bit by bit.After Suzie’s kidnapping, she had lost all affection she had for Sheryl and even hated her.However, she was still surprised to hear that Rebecca had drugged Sheryl’s meals.She only brought it up before because Shaun had reminded her, but she was not sure that Rebecca would do something like that to Sheryl.Titus looked at her and said in a heavy voice, “The doctor said that they found traces of an illegal drug in her bloodstream, which is usually taken by patients after surgery or patients suffering from mental illness. If she takes it for a long time, she’ll suffer from insomnia, mental decline, mood swings, emotional restlessness, and even hallucinations. She’ll be addicted too. I’ve put her in the hospital for now.”Catherine was stunned. She pursed her lips and rubbed Shaun’s head. “When Rebecca was by Shaun’s side as his caretaker before this, she had also used a similar drug, but he was suffering from mental illness back then.
“Even when Sheryl noticed that Rebecca’s behavior was inappropriate, Rebecca would always bring up that she was abducted as a child. As a mother, Sheryl naturally blamed herself. She thought that if she had been around, her daughter wouldn’t have suffered so much. If she had the chance to educate her daughter, her daughter wouldn’t have become vain and pretentious.”Catherine choked for a moment.Her heart was subconsciously stirred up.“You’re a mother yourself, so you should be able to understand her feelings.” Each of Titus’ words seemed to pierce her heart. “Will a mother who loves her children regard them with disdain? She won’t. If her child turns out bad, she’ll only blame herself.”“But she shouldn’t have indulged Rebecca without limits,” Catherine said.“Do you think she was clear-headed when she indulged Rebecca?” Titus asked.Catherine was immediately at a loss for words.Titus looked at her distracted expression and sighed in his heart. “Actually, I’ve thought about
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
