Was it Catherine who got these people to come here?It did not seem to be her doing. No matter how much she hated Rebecca, Catherine would not stoop so low as to disrespect her dead body.Hadley was still glad to witness this incident and was not bothered about who would end up being killed. Nevertheless, he felt the need to act as though he was trying to save the situation. “Hey, who are you guys? This parlor isn’t a place for you guys to mess around. I’ve already called the police,” Hadley said menacingly as he walked in. He covered his face with his hands while acting fearless. However, he was not planning to get involved at all. “Get lost. Don’t be a busybody.” A few tall men blocked him.At that moment, Hadley did not dare move forward anymore.After smashing things for a few minutes, those people left arrogantly. They had tossed Rebecca’s corpse directly at Sally. The wound on the back of her head that had been stitched split apart once more.The sight of it made Hadle
“...”Looking at Shaun’s handsome face, Catherine was too hesitant to tell him that she was about to go out again. “Come down and play with me.” Shaun extended his hand to pull her through the window. “Uh… Shaunny, I just received a call and I have to go out again,” Catherine said reluctantly, “It’s quite important.”Against all her expectations, Shaun did not kick up a fuss. He just blinked his eyes in despair. “More important than me?”His voice was hoarse, and his eyes were red. It felt as though he would be in tears if Catherine said yes.Speechless, Catherine replied with a gentle tone, “Of course, you’re more important, but I can’t stay by your side all the time. Look, there are so many people in our family. I need to make money to support our family and also buy sweets for you.”“You can ask for money from my mommy. She gave birth to me, so it’s right to spend her money. I don’t want to spend your money,” Shaun said seriously after some thought. Deep down, Catherine t
When Shaun lowered his head, Catherine retreated a little with her profile facing him. There were two strands of curly hair framing her fair cheeks, and he had a clear view of her elegantly thin neck as well.All of a sudden, he found his mouth slightly dry. He was tempted to bury his head in her neck and kiss it.“I’ve fastened it.” Catherine looked up out of the blue.When their eyes met, his gaze was burning fiercely.Catherine was stunned for a moment before she poked his thin lips amusedly. “Tell me, what were you thinking just now?”Upset, Shaun bit his lip. He was rather embarrassed, but he answered her honestly, “I wanted to kiss your neck.”“...”Catherine’s face instantly turned crimson as she did not expect him to be so frank.“Why did you have such a thought? I was just fastening the seat belt for you, yet you started to overthink it.” She stared at him with coquettish eyes, which made his heart tickle.Shaun gulped and fixed his eyes on her.Catherine rubbed her
“By the way, officer, my cousin offended quite a lot of people previously…” Catherine interrupted Sally. Then, she bit her tongue before she continued.Sally was filled with resentment. “The cruelest person she ever offended is you.”“Mom…” Catherine’s eyes were red. “Am I your biological daughter or is it Rebecca? Dad and you were injured when you mourned for Rebecca in the hall, so I just want to find out who attacked you. But why do you keep turning against me?”“How can you compare yourself to Rebecca? Rebecca got your dad and me out of jail, yet you were the one who sent us to jail,” Sally responded in a huff.Catherine said righteously, “Would I have done so if you both hadn’t killed Granny? Granny had treated me well since I was young. Between justice and kinship, I had no choice but to pick the former.”“They killed your granny?” The police officer’s eyes became sharp. Her granny was her injured father’s biological mother, was she not?Since he could sink so low as to kil
Catherine shuddered and had goosebumps.Shaun knitted his dark eyebrows at the man in front of him who was slightly shorter than him. The man was dressed in a black suit and was quite good-looking. However, he subconsciously disliked him.Shaun found the man particularly loathsome especially when he addressed Catherine as ‘Wifey’.“Cathy, who is he?” Shaun asked in a childish manner while tugging on Catherine’s hand.After Wesley glanced at Shaun’s childish eyes, his elegant face flashed with disdain. “I’m her husband.”Shaun blinked his eyes. “What's a husband?”Wesley cackled, and he was clearly taunting Shaun with his gaze. “I heard that you’ve become a fool. Now that I’ve seen you, I’m convinced.”“Who’s become a fool? You’re the fool.” No matter how stupid Shaun was, he knew that Wesley’s remark was awful, so he jeered at him furiously. “You ugly man.” After pausing for a moment, he recalled the sentence that he heard on TV this afternoon. He added, “Ugly people always tr
“But you…”“I just wanted to annoy them and confront Wesley,” Catherine explained, “I had to figure out Wesley’s motive. As you saw just now, he called himself their son-in-law. He’s probably not planning to treat Jeffery and Sally as puppets. In my view, he wants to step into Hill Corporation using his identity as their son-in-law. Jeffery will probably be the chairman of Hill Corporation, and Wesley will then become the president or something.”Hadley was shocked to his core. “Young Master Hill put a lot of blood, sweat, and tears into Hill Corporation. But it’ll end up benefiting Wesley in the end?”“Don’t worry. If Wesley wants to be their son-in-law, it means that I have to be Jeffery’s daughter. It’s more legitimate for me to manage Hill Corporation than him.” Catherine snorted. This behavior was just despicable, was it not? It was because of Wesley that she had learned to be despicable.“By the way, head to the police station to have a look. I’m sure Wesley will investigat
This was how Shaun had always forced a kiss on Catherine. Now, it was her turn to do the same.In fact, this feeling was wonderful.…Geraldton.A city situated in the west of Australia. At this moment, Eliza was standing under an oak tree in the quiet courtyard. A yellow leaf fell on her hair, and it smelled pleasant.She put her phone beside her ear without realizing it.“Ellie, I’ve settled the matter regarding the funeral parlor. The police won’t be able to track us.”“Thank you, Tristan,” Eliza said softly as she lifted her hand to pluck a leaf in front of her.“Not at all. But why are you… choosing to deal with a dead person?” Tristan Sinclair could not help but ask out of curiosity.“Because… she killed my best... friend.”Eliza’s dark eyes were completely indifferent.She had only figured out certain things recently. It turned out that Rebecca impersonated Shelley back then. Shelley found out that Rebecca was impersonating her, which was why Rebecca killed her in t
The attorney said helplessly, “At most, the hooligans will serve one to two years of sentence. They didn’t actually intentionally beat up Jeffery and Sally. They just ran into Jeffery and Sally and stepped on them when they fell to the floor. They’re apologetic about it and are willing to pay compensation. They’re quite honest.”Wesley snorted. “Indeed, she didn’t leave a trail.”“Are you talking about Catherine?” The attorney observed Wesley’s grim expression cautiously.“Is this how you’re supposed to address her?”Wesley glanced at him indifferently.The attorney shuddered and instantly went quiet.Wesley rolled down the window and pulled on the tie in front of his chest. His current status could already compare to Shaun’s previous status. Although he had a bad reputation before this, there were people trying to butter him up now since he had risen to the top. Even those women who were previously afraid of him were ready to shamelessly throw themselves at him. While those wo
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
