Nevertheless, he held back at the thought that he was still not powerful enough.“Mm.” Shaun asked with a deep voice, “What’s the matter?”“...”What did that mean? Could she not casually look for him?When Catherine observed his expression carefully, she noticed his deep-set eyes were infinitely dark. She could already sense his increasing indifference after two days.This realization ached her heart. All of a sudden, it dawned on her that she preferred the previous Shaun who was silly compared to the current version of him.However, since she had made it clear, it would be pointless to dwell on it.“Uncle Titus gave me a call and told me Sheryl had escaped.”Catherine told Shaun their analysis on the issue. “If Sheryl withdraws the charge, things will be troublesome when Rebecca’s shares go to Jeffery or herself.”“I know.”Shaun nodded, his handsome, calm face was giving nothing away. “It’s late. You should sleep early with Lucas and Suzie.” “...”Was he tacitly kicking
As he watched Catherine leave, Shaun furrowed his brows sympathetically.He was aware that his remarks might have sounded nasty, which had slightly hurt her, but he had no right to talk about relationships until the issue with Hill Corporation was solved. He made a call when entered his room, “Elle, when are you coming back?”“Tomorrow morning, Young Master Hill. It’s starting to take shape.”“Alright.”...The next day.In the evening.After a long day, Sonya returned to her high-end duplex apartment feeling weary. As the apartment was situated downtown, every inch of land was worth a fortune. A lot of people greatly admired the bustle of the city. However, no one knew the pain she was suffering deep down. When she returned to the apartment, she was engulfed in aloneness.When she switched on the lights today, she caught sight of a tall figure seated in the living room. She screamed in fear. “Calm down, Mrs. Lyons.”The man sounded hoarse and cool as if he was the own
“When their love affair was exposed, Wesley’s reputation was tarnished while Regina was sent overseas. Indeed, it took me quite an effort to hunt her down.”Shaun gestured to Sonya with his chin. “Watch the next video.”Trembling, Sonya scrolled the screen. It turned out to be a video featuring Regina again. “The car which Ethan drove during the accident was some high-end smart car invented by another country. Wesley seemed to be acquainted with a top executive of the car company. I even accompanied Wesley and the top executive for a meal in the States the year before last. I have… Their photo here. They were having karaoke at a clubhouse at that time.” Sonya tapped open the album. There was a photo of Wesley and a middle-aged male foreigner. However, the lighting was poor as they were in a private room.Sonya could recognize the foreigner at first sight.The police initially claimed Ethan’s accident was due to the autopilot malfunctioning in his car.Later, the car company comp
Sonya held the photo tightly, her eyes filled with intense hatred. “As the general manager of Golden Corporation in Melbourne, I’ve always been in charge of the company’s matters. Even so, I do know what’s happening to the branch here. Whenever Wesley comes to Melbourne, he always gives orders to certain people. As long as I pay attention to those people, I believe I’ll be able to bring something to light soon.”“Hurry up. This man has been locked up, but Wesley won’t kill him yet. He’ll probably have his confidant visit the man once in a while.” Shaun said complicatedly, “Wesley is making a big move in Canberra lately. If he succeeds, don’t even think about taking revenge on your son’s behalf anymore.”Sonya nodded violently and clenched her fists. “I will.”“Also, make sure your face doesn’t betray your hatred. Don’t let others find out about it.” After Shaun reminded her, he rose to his feet and left.Once Shaun headed downstairs and got into the car, Elle asked, “Young Master H
“That was quick.” Shaun’s lips curved into a restrained smile.Hadley felt unsettled. “Given that Titus beat Wesley up in the meeting room the other day, I’m afraid Jeffery will drive a wedge between you and the others. What if he also gets someone in the meeting room to…”“But I can’t absent myself just because of fear. Otherwise, what will everyone in the company think of me?”Shaun got up, his tall and imposing physique exuding an authoritative presence.Hadley followed him silently. Deep down, he became calm somehow.Whenever Shaun behaved like this back then, Hadley knew that Shaun was confident with his plan. ...Five minutes later, Shaun pushed open the door of the meeting room.It was his first time meeting Sheryl, who was Catherine’s biological mother.He had only heard about their personal vendetta from Hadley.According to Hadley, this woman had been tricked by Rebecca and refused to acknowledge her biological daughter.Dressed in a white outfit, Sheryl was sitti
Wade said emotionally, “Well, let me congratulate you in advance, Chairman Jones. But there’s something…”He held back and glanced at Shaun. “A few days ago, Chairman Hill said that I’m not eligible to be the general manager of the company due to the conflict over the shares. Catherine also said that I have poor management skills. Now that Young Master Hill is the new president of the company, I…”At the mention of Catherine, Sheryl’s eyes were filled with resentment. She looked at Shaun resentfully as well. “What gives Catherine the right to be involved in our company’s affairs? Shaun, to put it bluntly, you’re incapable of managing Hill Corporation. If you were, you wouldn’t have failed to keep it. After the meeting, you can pack your things and go home. The company no longer needs the Hills’ involvement.”“Sheryl… I don’t think this is good,” Jeffery promptly said.“Jeffery, you’re too soft-hearted. Some people are ambitious even though Hill Corporation no longer belongs to them
“Chairwoman Jones, these people are too sh*tty,” Shaun tutted as he shook his head. Then, he turned around and swaggered out with his hands in his pockets.When he walked out the door, he heard Sheryl snapping at them inside. “You useless trash. I’ve spent so much money nurturing you guys, but it’s all a waste of my money. All of you, go to hell.”Shaun furrowed his brows.Hadley said, “Sheryl’s illness is getting more serious, yet she’s not having it treated.”“Yeah. She’s so foolish to help someone else too. Hah, Jere Corporation. When she becomes sensible, I reckon she’ll cry over the silly things she has done.”Soon after Shaun walked into his office, Wade came in with a group of security guards to kick him out. “Young Master Hill, I know we’re no match for you, but you’ve been dismissed. If you insist on staying here, no one is going to care about you either. It’s better for you to leave now. There’s no point in staying here shamelessly.” “Don’t worry. I’ll leave.” With a g
“Hah. Sure enough, you’ve changed. You were so offhand with me back then,” Hannah said on purpose.“Back then, I was… not smart indeed.” Shaun shot a neutral look at the dress in the display case. “If you like it, I can give it to you as a gift.”“Aren’t you afraid that Catherine will find out?” Hannah’s red lips curled.“Our relationship ended long ago.” Shaun looked impassive.“...Forget it. I don’t want the dress.” Hannah suddenly raised her brows and said pensively, “I was interested in the dress, but it hit me that it wouldn’t suit me.”“Alright, then. I won’t bother you further, Miss Mead.” Shaun immediately turned around.At the sight of his tall and noble figure, Hannah gritted her teeth with discontent. “Shaun, why bother? You were only in the company for three days, and you had been chased out. It did not take long for the news to spread throughout Canberra and make you the object of ridicule.”“So…” Shaun turned sideways, but his handsome face remained indifferent.“
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
