Catherine was amazed. She had to acknowledge the netizens’ strength in obtaining information. Not many people knew that she was Sheryl’s daughter. It was unknown how that information was leaked.She was even on the trending searches, and there were rumors that she would be one of the top five wealthiest people among those born with a silver spoon in their mouths.It was totally ridiculous.Catherine had no intention of acknowledging Sheryl as her mother, not to mention inheriting her assets. Those people must be bored out of their minds.She was starting to feel hungry. She got up, changed into casual clothes, and went downstairs. The housekeeper, Aunty Cally, was watering the flowers on the balcony.“Aunty Cally, is there still breakfast? I’m a little hungry.”Catherine asked while rubbing her eyes.“Breakfast? There is, but it’s all cold and it’s almost time for lunch…” Aunty Cally’s gaze was slightly strange.“It’s okay. I’ll just have something simple to eat.”Catherine
Catherine’s feelings were complicated. “Shaun, didn’t my dad tell you yesterday? He doesn’t wish for us to be together…” “He did, but it’s not your dad that I want to be with anyway. His words can’t affect me at all. Moreover, he has already gone to the company. The negative news regarding the fire that broke out at the company has affected his company greatly. He has no time to care about me at all. I reckon he has to work extra hours until late at night these days.”Shaun was confident.Catherine touched her forehead. He really did know how to take advantage of the situation. However, it was true that Joel might not have the time to care about Shaun now.“But I already told you last time—”“You indeed said it clearly enough. It’s precisely because it’s too clear that I’ve come to understand my thoughts.” Shaun bent over and went near her ear. He whispered, “I’ve already approached other women but I realize that you’re the only one that I want to have sex with. What is love if t
When Catherine went downstairs with her handbag, a gleam of amazement flashed through Shaun’s eyes.He had always known that she was beautiful, but she was as pretty as a fairy after dressing up. He did not know that she would be so pretty with earrings and a necklace. They accentuated her slender neck and collarbone, making them look so delicate and seductive.With just a glance, he felt his body burning up.Shaun quickly took a deep breath. He put his hands in his pockets without changing his expression. He stepped forward, and there was a hint of hoarseness in his voice. “Where are you going?”Catherine deliberately gave him an indifferent glance. “It’s none of your business.”That sentence rendered Shaun speechless.He quickly recalled that she said she was going to look for a new partner that morning.‘She didn’t doll herself up to go on a date with another man, right?’When that thought flashed across his mind, Shaun was so irritated that he wanted to spit blood.He fi
After all, why would you be haughty when pursuing another person?Shaun had become quite tactful.As Catherine was unable to chase him away, she had no choice but to start the car.After driving for about half an hour, Catherine stopped by the roadside. She bought a bouquet of carnations and a basket of fruits. Shaun immediately understood. He quickly bought a set of the same things as well.Catherine glanced at him. “Why did you buy those things?”“I’ll do whatever you do,” Shaun said with much experience. Catherine could only let him be.…After that, she drove the car to the hospital. When she arrived at the door of the VIP ward, she took a deep breath and pushed the door to enter. There was only Matthew and a caregiver in the ward.He was sitting on the bed, wearing a hospital gown. He was hooked up to an IV.It was Catherine’s first time seeing Matthew again after some time. The man of mixed race who used to be handsome and dazzling was just skin and bones at that m
Catherine felt like her head was about to explode.She secretly glared at Shaun. Shaun pretended like he did not see it and crossed his arms. “I’m not making personal attacks. If Cathy treats you as a brother, then you’re my brother-in-law.”Matthew was taken aback. Thinking about the relationship between Shaun and Catherine, it seemed like that was really the case.He did not know that Shaun and Catherine had broken up again recently.“Who’s your brother-in-law?” Catherine was utterly defeated by Shaun’s shamelessness. “Don’t forget that I’ve already broken up with you.”“You did that one-sidedly.” A gloomy expression appeared on Shaun’s handsome face. “Cathy, your words are too much. In order to save your brother, I sacrificed myself to approach that woman Hannah just so Wesley would put his guard down. You don’t even know how badly I was humiliated by the Mead family. You’re just thinking of steering clear of me now. You forgot—”“Enough. Shut up.”Catherine covered Shaun’s m
Catherine suddenly spoke.Matthew was stunned. He opened his mouth, and after a moment, he said resignedly, “After she found out that you’re her biological daughter, she felt guilty and regretful. She saw Lucas yesterday and really wished to acknowledge him. However, she knows that you despise her, so she didn’t dare to speak.”“Matthew, I can’t just forget about everything just because she was under the influence of a drug. It’s fine if she had only called me a b*tch in the restaurant. That only made me lose all expectations I had for a mother. What I can’t forgive is that she allowed Rebecca to harm Suzie. From that moment onward, I knew I couldn’t acknowledge her as my mother anymore…”Bang.The sound of something dropping on the floor came from behind.Catherine was taken aback. After sensing the weird silence in the ward, she turned around and saw Sheryl and Titus standing at the door. There was a bag of medications on the floor beside Sheryl’s feet.Sheryl looked at Catheri
It took her some time to calm her emotions. Sheryl then said with a hoarse throat, “You’re right. I can’t push away all the responsibilities just because I was drugged. The things I did were indeed very evil. However, when I agreed to let Rebecca kidnap Suzie, I reminded her not to hurt Suzie and just put on an act to threaten you. I didn’t think she would…”Sheryl had an expression of deep regret. To be honest, she was really too stupid at that time.Luckily, Titus rescued Suzie. If not, she could only atone for her sins with death. Catherine’s eyebrows twitched, but it was only for a moment. She became indifferent again. “So what? Can the trauma in Suzie’s heart be erased? Do you know that the first time I saw you in the restaurant, I had already guessed that you’re my mother? However, you didn’t recognize me. The despair I felt was as much as the expectations I had for a mother.”“I’m sorry.” Tears streamed down Sheryl’s face.She really did not want to recall what she had don
“She spent money to acquire Hill Corporation. Why should I take it? I haven’t even married you yet.” Shaun gazed at Catherine’s reddened eyes dearly.“...”Catherine was speechless. What did he mean by that? Did it mean that he would have taken Hill Corporation back if they were married?However, she was furious as well. “Why didn’t you take it? Hill Corporation is the fruit of your painstaking efforts. It’s the hard work of the Hill family too.”She knew how much effort Shaun had contributed to Hill Corporation.All of his ambition, vision, and dreams were in Hill Corporation.“Cathy, my aunt and uncle sold their shares through legal procedures. The same goes for the other shareholders of the company. If I take over Hill Corporation, isn’t it equivalent to Sheryl giving me hundreds of billions of US dollars for nothing? After all, she’s not my mom. However, things will be different if I’m her son-in-law.”Shaun smiled. “I can manage the company for my wife.”“...” Catherine
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
