“Minister Snow, thank you so much.” Wesley showed a look of heartfelt gratitude. “Don’t worry, I’m not a man with traditional values either. Since Miss Mead has taken a fancy to Shaun, I’ll let her keep him.”“Hannah, look how magnanimous Wesley is.” Gavin smiled at Hannah. “I’ve already told you the truth. Shaun is not who he used to be. With his status now, I wouldn’t even want him to work as our janitor. How can I agree to your marriage? But since you like him so much, I don’t mind if you keep him as a dog.”“Dad…”Hannah was shocked.She never thought that Wesley and her father had already reached such an agreement in private.She looked at Shaun anxiously.Shaun trembled in anger and shook her off. “So you wanted me to bring the children here because you want to use them to threaten Catherine.”“Of course.” Wesley gave him a fake smile. “Did you think that the Mead family liked you? Shaun Hill, you’re not who you used to be anymore. If it weren’t for Hannah liking you, you
Hannah knew about the Mead family’s plan. Yes, she was going to be the prime minister’s daughter in the future.She thought of how powerless Shaun was earlier in front of Wesley. Actually, he was quite useless.She liked men who were strong and capable.Shaun used to be like that in the past, but now...“Hannah, did you forget what you said to me before?” Shaun stared at her anxiously. “You said you love me.”When she saw his anxious expression, she suddenly lost interest in him. “I do love you, but you always make me take the initiative. Shaun, I can promise you that as long as you behave in the future and belong only to me, I can guarantee your safety. Are you willing?”“If I’m not?” Shaun clenched his fists.“If you’re not, then you won’t even be able to crawl out today.” Gavin barked out a cruel laugh. “That’s good. We can let your mom accompany my friends in the business world.”Shaun’s eyes trembled.He took a deep breath and lowered his eyes in humiliation. “Fine. I’ll
Nathan also smiled and shook hands with Gavin. “To think that when we met, Hannah was still in elementary school. More than ten years have passed in the blink of an eye.”“It sure has.” Gavin looked at Ryan behind him. “At that time, your Ryan was also quite young. Now, he has grown up to become your right-hand man.”Ryan quickly stood up and said politely, “Uncle Gavin, Dad’s most capable right-hand man is you. Today is your 50th birthday, so Dad specially asked someone to prepare a gift for you. Look.”He opened the box and revealed ginseng inside. “This ginseng is 300 years old. Dad got people to search for it for a long time before finally getting it. It’s said the older the ginseng is, the more it can prolong one’s life.”“Haha, thank you. I’ve been feeling a little ill recently. Prime Minister Snow, you’re too compassionate.” Although that was what Gavin said, he only told someone to take the ginseng without looking at it much.Nathan’s deep eyes overflowed with a faint smil
The people chattered.Shaun kept his head lowered. Hannah looked back at him, and after feeling some contempt for him, she started feeling smug.Rodney turned pale with anger and bit his cheeks fiercely.“Shut your mouths!” He snapped at the people who were talking. “Shaun is my brother. You’d better watch your words.”“That won’t do.” Wesley laughed. “He’s going to be a dog. If you want to be his brother, then you—”“How dare you?” Nathan interrupted him coldly, the aura emanating from his body making the crowd flinch.However, Wesely and Gavin did not care at all.“Prime Minister Snow, President Lyons is my friend. You shouldn’t yell at him like that.” Gavin smiled vaguely with a hint of warning in his tone.The crowd looked at Gavin in shock. However, after thinking of how things were beginning to stir in the capital recently, they kept their mouths shut.When the big fish fought, little shrimps like them had better stay quiet.“Minister Snow, he’s just a businessman. Am I
Ryan’s expression was cold. “You want a member of the Snow family to kneel to you? Are you trying to rebel?”“Haha, I’m not trying to rebel, but I just think that the prime minister isn’t as good as me. I also want to taste the feeling of being in control of the country.” Gavin chuckled and smiled sinisterly.Nathan’s eyes were instantly covered with a layer of frosty gloom. “Looks like this feast tonight is being held with other intentions in mind.”He clasped his hands behind his back and walked around, looking at the guests present with a dark gaze.They were all his officials, but now, they were standing at the side with trepidation. They did not utter a single word.“Haha, that’s not true. After all, today is my birthday,” Gavin said loudly, “To tell you the truth, I don’t really think much of the ginseng you gave me. Just give me the power in your hands instead. Besides, you’ve already had a taste of what it’s like to be the prime minister. Think about it. If it weren’t for
“Prime Minister Mead, the Jarvis family is willing to donate 50 billion dollars to support your administration.”“...”All of a sudden.The banquet hall was full of flattery.Gavin laughed in triumph at all the praise. “Well, since you’re all so discerning, I can’t let you down. Nathan, hand over the prime minister’s seal, or I’ll have no choice but to kill your family’s descendants first.”With his command, the guards pointed their guns at Rodney, Ryan, and the others.“You… You…” Nathan shook like a leaf. His eyes swept over the guests in the banquet hall one by one. They were once the people he relied on the most, but he did not expect them all to betray him today.“Hurry up,” Gavin warned, saying, “Or I’ll start with your nephew.”He waved his hand, and the guards immediately grabbed Rodney.“Stop.” Nathan quickly raised his hand. He glared fiercely at Gavin. “I’m curious where you got the money to buy off these people.”His gaze fell on Wesley. “It’s him, right?”Wesley
With Rodney’s sudden affirmation, Wesley’s body stiffened in spite of himself.Wesley had spent many years planning everything before coming to this point. No, his plan could not have gone wrong. “Wesley, what does he mean?”Gavin pulled a long face and walked toward him. Now that he was only one step away from success, he would not allow anything to go wrong.“Minister Mead, I reckon he’s trying to buy time to throw us into chaos. We don’t have to treat his words seriously,” Wesley said with a deep, indifferent voice, “What matters most now is that we need to take control of everyone in the Snow family.”“Don’t worry about this. I’ve already assigned some people to keep an eye on the Snows. They’ve probably been besieged by our people by now.”Gavin shifted his cold gaze to Nathan. “Nathan, the Snow family has become a shadow of its former self. Pass the seal to me, and I’ll consider not taking your dad’s life. Otherwise, I’ll deal with your dad and brother before your turn.”
Perhaps Gavin could have many sons by then.“If he’s planning to threaten me with Hannah, he can dream on,” Gavin suddenly said grimly.Madam Mead yelled, “Are you crazy? She’s our biological daughter. You can’t leave her high and dry.”Hannah was trembling all over. “Dad, please save me. I don’t want to die.”“Hannah, if I give in today, Nathan will destroy our family later.” Gavin sighed helplessly. “Shaun, I can give you 200 billion dollars as long as you let go of her. I’ll also guarantee that the Hill family can live without worries from now on.”“Hah! How funny. Who can be sure that you’ll keep your promise?” Shaun narrowed his eyes and smiled at Hannah. “Miss Mead, didn’t you just ask me to be your dog?”“I… I was kidding.” Hannah’s legs shook with fear. “As long as you put down the gun, I’m willing to marry you. We can even get married now, and also… let me remind you that your son is still with us.”“Are you sure my son is still with you guys?” Shaun asked playfully, “T
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
