Rodney was hugging another woman in front of his wife.Hah. Chester knew that Rodney had a low EQ, but he did not expect him to be so foolish.Unfortunately, Rodney might still be unaware of what he had lost at this point.…Catherine held onto Freya until they walked out of the elevator. It took merely a minute to go down.However, Rodney was so stunned that he did not go after Freya.Freya had no idea what she was even hoping for. Perhaps she was hoping that Rodney’s stupidity was not incurable.She was hoping that Rodney was truthful at least when he told her that he loved her.When she reached the lobby, a chilly wind blew past her. After a shudder, she became fully awake.What on earth made her fall for Rodney back then? Did she fall for him because he treated Sarah well or because the woman he loved was blessed?Hah. Nevertheless, she had forgotten that she was not Sarah.Rodney could protect, tolerate, obey, and pamper the woman unconditionally only because she was
“Sarah… has come prepared,” Chester said glumly, “She probably conspired with Wesley back then, but she also made a backup plan for herself in case he failed. Now that Wesley has failed, Nathan, the prime minister, has the upper hand in everything. The Snow family has become the most influential family in Australia, and one of the members is the heir. The fact that Rodney is her ex-boyfriend is the primary reason why Sarah came back.” Catherine and Freya were both astounded at the same time. Freya stammered, “Do you mean that she plotted this long ago just in case Wesley failed…” “If Wesley had succeeded, the first thing he would’ve done is get rid of Shaun and Catherine. When Shaun fell down the stairs, he was like a fool, so Wesley did not doubt him. If Shaun had passed away, nothing would trouble Sarah anymore. She could depend on Wesley and act unscrupulously in Australia.”Chester said indifferently, “But Wesley failed and Shaun is still alive. Hence, she came back to prove h
In fact, Chester could have begged for mercy and spoken up for Rodney. However, considering that Rodney was protective of Sarah, it was not easy to deal with the issue. Dealing with it would make Freya suffer too.He was not bothered to beg for mercy on behalf of Rodney.Even Chester, who was cold and distant, felt that Rodney was ignorant of the truth.Shaun had nothing much to say either.Given that Shaun had lost his memory, he was not very close to Rodney. Now that Rodney was covering up for Sarah and opposing him, Shaun did not even feel like being friends with him anymore.Catherine asked with discontent, “So are we going to wait for half a month without doing anything? Is there a way to expose Sarah’s true colors?”“How should we do it?” Chester asked, “Should we look for President Yard who put on an act with her before this? I’m guessing he doesn’t know Sarah’s intentions either. He went along probably because he assumed that Sarah wanted to fulfill Rodney’s wishes.” Sh
“I know an excellent divorce lawyer. I’ll come along with you.”“No need. Just let me know the lawyer’s contact details. I want to have some quiet time alone on my way there.”After Freya finished speaking, she saw Catherine’s anxious gaze fixed on her. Then, she forced a smile. “Don’t worry. I’ve gone through all kinds of situations over the past few years—from being physically abused by Patrick to being insulted by Thomas and even having no choice but to leave Australia. But after I returned, I became the prime minister’s goddaughter. When Senator Mead prepared to rebel, I was kept under surveillance every day and had to be cautious. I almost thought I was going to die, but I survived those days. I’m no longer the same as how I was back in Melbourne. What’s more, I can’t give up, or what’s going to happen to Dani?” She gnashed her teeth and said with a hoarse voice, “If Rodney plans on marrying Sarah in the future, I’m sure Sarah won’t treat Dani well. I need to take Dani away.”
As far as Ryan knew, Freya had always been an optimistic, bubbly woman. Every time she smiled, her eyes would glow.He had always liked the glow in her eyes.However, the glow in her eyes had vanished now. He was exasperated too, not at her but Rodney.“Let’s go. I’m going to take you to meet him. I’ll stand up for you.” Ryan clutched her hand.“Let go of me.”After struggling for a long time, she still failed to break free from his grip. She flew into a rage and began to roar with tears, “I’m asking you to let go of me. Can’t you hear me? What’s the point of taking me to meet him? You’re also a part of the Snow family. On the surface, you might seem like you’re helping me, but in fact, you’re defending him. Otherwise, why did you guys switch my contraceptive pills to force me to get pregnant and marry him? Rodney is awful, but why must I save him by sacrificing my happiness? You guys don’t even know that I’ve never had the intention of being the daughter of the prime minister.”
“However, you’re right. The Snows surely won’t want you to divorce Rodney. Moreover, news about your wedding has circulated. If you decide to get a divorce all of a sudden, the Snows will feel ashamed. Having said that, you can discuss the matter with me first. Once you’re definite about the divorce, I’ll persuade my parents and grandfather,” Ryan said patiently.Freya fixed her confused gaze at the man, who was a few months younger than her.He looked young, elegant, and handsome. Dressed in a black jacket, he behaved humbly and kept a low profile.Sure enough, he was a leader in an organization. The calm aura that he exuded was rather convincing. Of course, she could not deny that it could be due to his good looks.She had always admired people with good looks. Otherwise, she would not have fallen for Patrick during her university days. She would not have been easily moved by Rodney’s words later on either.“Earlier, I asked you to investigate whether Rodney was talking busine
Ryan reached out to Freya’s hair and caressed it.It was quite an intimate act.Freya could not help but recall Rodney’s warning. At the thought of it now, she found it ridiculous.Since Rodney could spend the entire night with Sarah, why could she not let her so-called brother, Ryan, caress her hair?In the past, she never realized Rodney’s double standards and selfishness.“It’s because Rodney is handling the Snow family’s core business,” Ryan said with a grim expression.Freya got the message. “Are you referring to the alternative energy project?”“Mm.” Ryan nodded. “With the fast-growing technologies over the past few years, there’s fierce competition among the businesses in the world. This project is the most crucial core business in Australia over the decade. Since the project started, my dad and uncle have been strongly supporting it. Although Rodney made a mistake in the issue with Sarah last time, he’s a business prodigy. With Rodney and Carson’s cooperation, this proje
After all, no matter if it was Sarah’s identity or status, it was all inferior to her.However, Ryan did not point out the truth. Freya would naturally come to understand it when she interacted with Rodney. …After that, Freya went to the solicitors’ office before going back to the villa. The moment she arrived, she saw Rodney’s car parked in the courtyard.As she got down the car, Rodney was already hurriedly walking out of the house. His pretty face looked anxious. “Where did you go? I’ve been calling you for the entire evening, but you didn’t pick up.”Freya did not say anything. She was afraid that her blood would boil once she talked to him and that she would chop him up with a knife.She was never that easily angered back then with Patrick.Perhaps it was because she and Patrick were not married nor had a child together. Most importantly, that woman was not Sarah.In Freya’s entire life, she despised the siblings, Sarah and Thomas, the most. With Rebecca, she was only
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
