Jeffery’s face was indifferent, but his heart was quite smug.After he went to jail, Catherine climbed higher and higher, and he always had to yield to her to the point where he thought he would have to look up to his former daughter with caution for the rest of his life. However, God was still showing him kindness.Suddenly, he inherited Hill Corporation’s shares.Tsk, he never actually dreamed of such a day.Although Rebecca was his biological daughter, he was not that sad now.Catherine was fawning over him now, but it was only because she wanted to profit from him.Unfortunately, he would not give her a single dime.“I do acknowledge this son-in-law, but I don’t acknowledge an ungrateful daughter like you. Get lost.” Jeffery insulted nonchalantly.Wesley gave her a fake smile. “Cathy, Dad is quite unhappy about your affair. If you’re willing to return to my side, he might be able to forgive you.”“You’re so ugly. There’s no way she’ll go back.” Shaun, who had not made a so
Wade never actually dealt with Shaun before because when Rebecca was around, she held seventy percent of Hill Corporation’s shares. That was why he was arrogant enough to bring his people over and expel Shaun’s staff.Back then, he was rather apprehensive.He did not expect Shaun would become stupid in just a few days after he entered the company.He had been overjoyed and immediately kicked out those who had been loyal to Shaun. Now, Hill Corporation was filled with his men.Little did he expect, Shaun returned to the company and was so aggressive.Was this how a stupid person was supposed to act?“Young Master Hill, you’ve misunderstood. I fired those people because they weren’t working well, so I had no choice. Don’t make things hard for me because the receptionist and security guard stopped you earlier. I’ll have them fired later.”Wade smiled in compensation, but his words implied that Shaun was making things difficult for him because of a personal vendetta.Jeffery reprim
Wesley had already investigated Titus when he told Rebecca to approach the latter.This person was different from them. His hands were stained with the blood and lives of others.Unlike other people, Titus never had other people do the dirty work for him. Instead, he did it himself.Moreover, Neah Bay was a place where the lines were blurred, and it was home to killers who committed heinous crimes. However, under the Costner family’s management, Neah Bay was ruled strictly, and no one dared to make trouble there.This was only possible because of Titus’s reputation for being ruthless and merciless.Wesley only dared to scheme against Titus because he was desperate. Furthermore, Titus was here in Australia, where the Cosner family’s power was not as strong. It was only after Wesley quickly exchanged the shares and won over Minister Mead, tying him onto the same boat, that he had the guts to fight Titus. Jeffery’s body completely froze when Titus arrived.He had met Titus before.
“I have never wanted to do any harm. On the contrary, my aim is to make it possible for the poor and underdeveloped countries around the world to cure diseases rather than be plagued with illnesses and dying in despair. Do you know that feeling?”Catherine was deeply revolted.She realized Wesley really had the potential to be a movie star.How did this absolute monster, who he did not even spare his nephew, have the nerve to say he wanted to save sick people around the world?“Blergh.”She did not vomit, but beside her, Shaun let out a gagging sound. “I’m going to puke. If you ask me, Australia’s medical treatment isn’t considered top-notch either. Since more developed countries look down on you when you try to sell your medicine to them, you can only sell to poorer countries to earn money. After all, although the people there are poor, medicine is a must, so you’ll gain a quick profit while exploiting the poor to death. Yet, you’re still making yourself a saint. Do you think eve
Wesley listened to Titus’s light-hearted tone and saw his cold, dark eyes.He could not help but shudder.He admitted that he thought he had a hold on Titus. Since Titus only had one son with Sheryl, he must treasure Matthew very much. However, Wesley had underestimated this man’s ruthlessness.Wesley’s lips went pale from the pain, and a cold sweat broke out on his forehead. Like a snake’s, agony-filled eyes gradually tinged with viciousness. “If you keep at it, you’ll have to collect your son’s corpse. I’ve hidden him in a place where no one can find him.”“That’s more like it.” Titus laughed in a low voice and let him go, unfazed at being threatened. “That’s why I hate dealing with hypocritical people. What’s the point? If you’ve caught him, then just admit it. Why did you have to act?”Wesley took two steps back miserably as he clutched his broken wrist and breathed heavily. “Titus Costner, apologize to me immediately or I’ll cripple your son and cut off your family’s bloodlin
“I’ll wait.” Titus straightened his shirt and sat down again.Jeffery trembled, wanting nothing more than to pass out now. Now that Wesley was wounded and sent away, how was he supposed to face Titus alone?If Titus lay a hand on him, would he end up like Wesley as well?When he thought of Wesley’s injuries, he became uneasy and frightened.Should he pretend to faint? That way, Wade could cancel this meeting.Just as he was thinking about it, Catherine suddenly came over with concern. “Dad, what’s wrong? You’re not feeling faint from the shock, right?”Jeffery, who was about to pretend to faint, was speechless. “Dad, you can’t faint,” Catherine said worriedly. “If you faint, how will you inherit Rebecca’s hundreds of billions worth of shares?”Jeffery was so disgusted that he could vomit blood. If other people were not around, he would have slapped Catherine to death.“Hundreds of billions worth of shares?” Titus played with the diamond ring on his ring finger and let out a d
Titus’s lawyer came forward and said, “Excuse me. The money that Rebecca spent to acquire Hill Corporation came from Mr. and Mrs. Costner’s bank account. If you insist on taking over Hill Corporation, we’ll have to send an appeal to the court to freeze this part of the shares.”“You have no right to do that,” Jeffery said anxiously. “My sister gave her the money. Tell her to come out and talk.”“She’s sick and hospitalized. As her husband, I have the right to recover our joint assets as a married couple.”Titus leaned against the leather seat. “Besides, I seriously suspect that you three are fraudsters. Coincidentally, Rebecca’s remains should still be frozen, so that makes things easier. We’ll just get something from her body to have a DNA test done. Of course, if she’s not my wife’s biological daughter, not only will I recover the assets, but I’ll also sue you for committing fraud worth an astronomical 900 billion dollars, which is unprecedented. I’m afraid you’ll probably be give
“You…”“Besides, as the president, you refuse to follow the director’s orders, and you go against us instead. I even suspect that you want to take over the company. Look at Hill Corporation’s top brass. They’re all your people. Do you think any Tom, Dick, and Harry can come here and do as they please?” Catherine enunciated each word with a tone so cold that it made Wade’s facial muscles twitch and tremble.Shaun had never seen Catherine so cold before, but this only made her look even more attractive. She was simply a cold beauty.Wade sneered. “Ms. Jones, not only do you want to dismiss me, but you want to get rid of all the executives I hired as well, right?”“What if I do? Will you get lost?”Catherine mocked, “People like you will stay here shamelessly anyway.”Wade clenched his fists in anger.“I know you won’t leave.”Catherine said, “But from tomorrow onward, Shaun will return to the company to assume the position of president. You’ve been demoted, but you don’t have to
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
