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
Hadley was embarrassed and did not expect Shaun to be jealous. “I’m reporting the company’s matters to Miss Jones. Miss Jones, it’s already late, so I’ll head home first.” After seeing Hadley leave in a rush, Catherine took the towel beside her and wiped the sweat off Shaun’s face. “Shaunny, you have to be polite to Assistant Young. He has done a lot for you and the Hills.”“I’m not even close to him. Why is he doing so much for my sake?” Shaun found it baffling.Catherine was at a loss for words. She said to him seriously, “Your last name is Hill. Actually, the Hills have a large company, but the company has been in crisis recently. Assistant Young is a very capable person. Many people have been trying to poach him, but he’s loyal to the Hills. He decided to stay with us and assist me. If he leaves, I’ll have a hard time.” Her words left Shaun feeling stunned.After half a minute, he nodded violently. With a pout, he said glumly, “I didn’t mean that, but you didn’t notice it wh
Catherine pulled Shaun into the study.Tonight, Shaun had surprised her over and over again.When the doctor previously claimed that he only had the mental age of a two-year-old, she was overwhelmed with frustration.However, she did not expect to see the light at the end of the tunnel. Indeed, he did not know many things and was even unable to recognize words. Nevertheless, he could still apply the physical skills he had mastered back then, such as playing basketball and fighting.“Shaunny, please sit down.”Catherine opened the dictionary on the table. “From today onward, I’ll help you expand your vocabulary, okay?”“Oh.”Shaun nodded obediently. After he was seated, Catherine naturally sat on his lap.This intimate posture instantly threw him into a panic.He clumsily held her slender, soft waist. With her fragrance wafting through the air, Shaun was instantly short of breath.Catherine flipped the dictionary open, only to notice something unusual. Her face flushed with sh
As soon as Catherine finished speaking, she swiftly held Suzie’s hand and walked away.From her back, it seemed like she was fleeing.After all, she would still feel ashamed no matter how bold she was.She had nearly lost control just now.Ahhh. Why did she lose her inhibitions?It had ruined her dignity.After bathing Suzie and putting on her clothes, she felt too ashamed to enter the study again.With that, she waited for Lucas to return from his martial arts class and asked him to get Shaun. She then made the two of them bathe together.“Lucas, you need to teach him how to bathe tonight.” Catherine gave her son an order.“Why are you asking him to teach me? No way. I want you to bathe me.” Upon hearing her order, Shaun was dissatisfied with it.“Have you no shame? Even I didn’t ask Mommy to bathe me.” Lucas rolled his eyes. “It’s improper for boys and girls to have physical contact with each other, okay? You have hands and legs. You can’t ask a girl to bathe you, nor can y
The moonlight poured in through the window.Catherine’s face was burning.Deep down, she really wished she could curse this trickster a hundred times.Previously, Shaun had insisted on divorcing her to be with Sarah. Later, he tricked her into making peace with him. When they were on good terms, he tricked her into acting like a pervert.Who drove her to this state?She used to be an innocent, cute young lady.However, he called her a pervert now. When he asked for kisses from her previously, why did he not call himself a pervert?Although Catherine knew that she should be tolerant of him since he was now a fool, she still felt aggrieved and upset.“Well...”She bit her lip and whispered, “I won’t look at your body anymore, then. Come to think of it, it’s really inappropriate for me to do that. If you don’t know how to wear your clothes, you can look for your dad.”Shaun was stunned. He blinked, feeling reluctant. “I don’t want to look for my dad. I just want to look for you.
“I’m not mad.” Catherine shook her head. “I was just thinking about the relationship between us. Shaunny, who am I to you?” Feeling dazed, Shaun thought it over for a while before he stammered, “You’re my aunt... The person I love…”Catherine forced a smile. “Shaun, I’m not your aunt. Fine, you won’t understand even if I explain to you. Let’s sleep.”She tilted her body to face the window.Deep down, she grumbled at herself for asking that question. She clearly knew that he was just a child who could not possibly love her. At most, he only liked her.At the sight of her slender silhouette, Shaun felt as though something was clenching his heart and causing him pain. At the same time, he felt anxious.Somehow, he felt that Catherine was feeling bitter. Was it because he had said something wrong?Shaun found himself losing sleep for the first time.When he woke up the next morning, he seemed listless with two dark circles under his eyes.After Catherine was done helping Lucas an
At that moment, the dining room was so quiet that one could hear a pin dropLea and Brennan exchanged glances. The two of them had grasped the point of Catherine’s message.Indeed, they had to admit that Catherine’s viewpoint was right.“Catherine, I’m really sorry.” Lea took pity on her and felt very guilty. “Shaun owes you too much. You’ve been with him for so long, and you’re the one who has sacrificed the most and tolerated him the most.”“Aunty Lea, we don’t owe each other. Perhaps God feels there’s a need to set obstacles between us. Sometimes, it might be easy to love each other, but it’s difficult for our lives to work out smoothly.”The more Catherine spoke, the more upset she felt. Whenever she thought that she would be able to get her happily ever after, she would end up facing a major obstacle.She rose to her feet. With her head lowered, she left. Lea and Brennan were stunned.Loving each other was easy, but having smooth-sailing lives was difficult.Catherine wa
“President Costner, didn’t you ask your subordinate to take Madam Costner and Suzie’s hair back to Neah Bay for DNA testing?”Titus’ assistant, Warren, rushed over. “The test report is already out. Please have a look at it.”Titus took the phone from him to look at the report, which indicated that Suzie and Sheryl were not related. Given that the DNA grandparentage test was performed between them, the percentage surely would not reach 99%. However, after the medical staff in the Costners’ top hospital analyzed Suzie and Sheryl’s DNA samples based on genetics and biology, they discovered that the two of them shared 50% of their DNA. As such, Suzie must be Sheryl’s granddaughter.If Suzie was Jeffery’s biological granddaughter, Sheryl would just be Suzie’s grandaunt.The DNA between Suzie and Sheryl would be practically identical.Warren said furiously, “We’ve been tricked by Rebecca. Apparently, the hair that Young Master Costner used for the paternity test before belonged to Cat
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
