“President Yule, we had already spent some money and instructed the media. They promised us they won’t make a big deal out of this matter. However, the number one news station in the country broadcasted this matter last night. What should we do now?”“Now that this has happened, we’ll just apologize to the public and then release the results of the police investigation.” Joel hung up the phone. His face was already pale, but now he looked even worse.At the side, the assistant said, “President Yule, the police said that the warehouse manager was bribed. But until the mastermind is caught, it’s just the police’s words. Without any written proof, the public might not believe it. I think that there are powerful people behind the scenes deliberately suppressing our company.”“Haha, you’re right.”A man’s triumphant laugh came from outside as Wesley kicked the door open and walked in.Catherine and Joel’s faces instantly darkened.“What are you doing here? Get the hell out.” Catherine
“If you destroy my hospital and injure our patients, I can call the police.”Chester slowly raised his eyes. “President Lyons, I know you have the Mead family backing you, so it’s pointless to call the police, but you should know that this is a hospital with countless patients. Your behavior counts as a disruption of a healthcare facility. If people in this country can't even be guaranteed treatment, what do you think the outside world will think of you and how they’ll look at you? This is a country with a developed network. I’m afraid nothing good will happen to you if you make a big fuss here.”After a pause, he said with a vague smile, “After all… although the Mead family is ambitious, they haven’t become the ones in charge behind the scenes yet.”Wesley shook a little before he laughed. “Since you already know so much, you should know that you need to choose to stand on the right side now. You should’ve also noticed the direction the wind is blowing. If you join the right side t
“Don’t worry. Since they’re Shaun’s children, I’ll think of a way,” Chester said grimly.Joel was furious. “You’re Shaun’s friend so you’re willing to think of a way, but what about Shaun? He has completely abandoned his children at a time like this.”Chester said, “Uncle Joel, don’t be angry. I’ve always felt that Shaun isn’t like other people. He should have his own plan.”“He does have a plan. He’s smart, so he must have anticipated the Mead family’s thoughts before all of us. That’s why he went to please Hannah Mead. With Hannah around, the Hill family will be safe.” Joel sneered.“Dad, don’t get angry. He lost his memory, so he naturally doesn’t have much affection for us. It’s normal for people to act in their own interest.” Although Catherine’s heart felt uncomfortable, she still forced a smile to comfort her father.After Chester left, Catherine’s mood became worse.If Chester had not appeared, she could not imagine how badly the situation earlier would have turned out.
Freya sighed. “Now, the only way is to get rid of Wesley because he’s the constant source of funds behind the Mead family.”Catherine fell silent.No one wanted to get rid of Wesley more than she did.However, the problem was that Sheryl had been helping Wesley behind the scenes.She really did not know what kind of bad luck she had to have such a mother.“What about you guys?” Catherine became even more worried. “Gavin is going to rebel sooner or later.”“Yes, it’ll be Gavin’s birthday in three days. I heard from Rodney that he plans to do it on that day.” Freya’s expression was unpleasant. “The Snow family is also making arrangements. Once they lose, my godfather will become Gavin’s puppet and Snow Corporation will be swallowed up by Wesley and Gavin.”Catherine’s scalp tingled. If even Snow Corporation fell into Wesley’s hands, her two children and Joel would be in danger. No one would be able to protect them.“Cathy, if there’s a chance, escape on your own.” Freya grasped h
“Do you need my help?” Eliza suddenly interrupted her. “The situation in the capital seems to have changed. I heard that Wesley is quite powerful now.”Catherine was dumbfounded for a moment, slightly shocked.She had always thought that Eliza was just an ordinary actress. How did she...“Thank you for your kindness, but you can’t help me.” She refused wryly. Even Chester was still figuring out what to do, so what could Eliza do?“I have a friend who has wide connections. I can ask him to find someone to bring you and your family away from the border even if you don’t have a visa or passport,” Eliza said in a low voice.Catherine was stunned and felt her breathing speed up due to her excitement. “Really?”“Yeah,” Eliza said, “No matter what the situation is, it’s always good to avoid potential problems.”“Eliza, how did you meet such a person? You even know so much. Who exactly are you?” Catherine was filled with bewilderment. She was not that close to Eliza. They only had dinne
At night.In the elegant and quiet restaurant, Shaun slowly and methodically cut the steak on his plate.The gorgeous crystal lamp cast a pale light, outlining his handsome and dignified features.He wore a white shirt, and his waistcoat was wrapped around his sturdy and upright figure. He looked handsome and domineering like he was the noblest of all.Hannah sat across him with burning eyes.She had seen too many men, within the country and also abroad. However, she had never seen a man who looked as good as Shaun when wearing a white shirt with a waistcoat.She must have this man.“Shaun…” Her fingers slowly inched toward his hand, and her charming voice was full of seduction. “Tonight… Do you want to go to my place for a cup of coffee?”“Do you want coffee or do you want me to sleep with you?” Shaun elegantly placed a piece of steak into his mouth and chewed on it, his thin lips curling into a wicked smile.He said it too bluntly, but instead of getting angry from embarrass
Shaun stared at her. “What do you want to do, Hannah? Just spit it out.”“Shaun, I want to formally introduce you to my parents on that day, but you’re skilled and my dad is helping Wesley. I’m afraid that you’ll make a move on my dad on the day of the birthday party. Don’t worry, as long as you’re obedient, my family will definitely not hurt you or the children,” Hannah said with a smile.Shaun lowered his head and smiled. “What if I refuse?”“Then I can’t let you come to my dad’s birthday party. Sorry.” Hannah enticed him, saying, “But Shaun, you’re a smart man. You should know that my father will become prime minister sooner or later. Marrying me will be of great benefit to you. To be honest, I don’t like Wesley. I think you're much better than him.” Shaun chuckled and pinched her chin. “Since you’ve said so, what else can I say?”...At 10:00 p.m., after Shaun returned to Hill Manor, Hadley immediately came over. “Young Master Hill, I’ve checked that karaoke bar. It was inve
The security guard’s expression changed, but before he could do anything, his vision went blurry and he felt a pain in the back of his head. He soon lost consciousness.Before long, a group of youngsters dressed like punks walked over.“Master Charlton, all the people inside have been taken care of,” a man with permed hair said with a grim tone. “We were fast enough, so we managed to knock them out before they could contact anyone.”“Well done.”Elle gave him an appreciative look. Who knew that an attendant in a karaoke bar would be so skilled? Fortunately, they were able to make the people inside lower their guard by disguising themselves as a group of punks.“There’s definitely something wrong with this karaoke bar, but the place is too big. We need to find the secret passages or storage units before dawn. There might be enough time, so capture the manager on duty and interrogate him. No matter what method you use, get him to spill the truth.”“Understood.”The Liona members s
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
