Ryan thought to himself that Freya must hate Sarah very much.How much did Sarah hurt her?“So… did you actually like Rodney?” Ryan suddenly asked, his cool eyes sparkling with anticipation.“There was a time when he treated Dani and me well, and it was quite romantic. Besides, with his handsome looks, I definitely had feelings for him. At that time, I really did think about spending the rest of my life with him. In fact, I could choose to put up with him and be more strict with him to keep this marriage, but I don’t want to.”Freya pointed at her chest. “There’s a scar here. Even if Sarah really does leave, I’ll be reminded of how much effort I need to put in to keep such a man. Compared to Sarah, I’ll always pale into insignificance, which is why I gave up our relationship.”Her nose turned sour, and she looked out of the window. “There’s a deep scar in my heart, and I’ve tried to remove it. But Sarah would always show up and stab it. I don’t want to live in the darkness anymore
Rodney was momentarily stunned before he muttered, “What does Jennifer’s and Boris’s death have to do with Sarah? Jennifer died because she fell, whereas Boris died because his son made him mad. Charity’s death was caused by Wesley and Mason. You can’t just shift all the blame onto Sarah.”“Oh, I see. Look, we don’t see eye to eye with each other, so there’s nothing we can talk about. I’m very busy. Goodbye.”Chester hung up the call.Rodney looked at his phone in a daze. He could not believe what was happening.When he had a row with Shaun the last time, Chester was not like this. Now, surprisingly, Chester completely ignored him too. His wife was going to divorce him, and his best buddy seemed to be distancing himself from him.All of a sudden, Rodney was lonely and at his wits’ end.He was usually closest to Shaun and Chester. At this moment, he had no idea who to contact.No one understood him. Who could understand him?He browsed through his contact numbers and somehow
“You may think that way, but Freya doesn’t think the same. She’s making a fuss and asking for a divorce now.”Rory said in disdain, “But I think she’s just threatening Rodney. It can’t be for real.”All color drained from Sarah’s face. She made a regretful expression. “It’s all my fault. I shouldn’t have appeared.”“Take good care of Rodney.” Rory did not say anything else. He turned around and left.After he left, Sarah limped toward the bedroom with the aid of crutches. The housekeeper had prepared a small tub of hot water. “Leave it there. I’ll wipe Rodney. You can go and rest earlier.” Sarah caressed Rodney’s good-looking face repeatedly. Her eyes were filled with affection.The housekeeper’s eyes gleamed.She had been taking care of the place for quite a while. After the incident the day before yesterday, she could tell that Sarah was Rodney’s mistress.She did not know the details.However, the housekeeper had seen a lot of similar cases.Wealthy businessmen often ke
Rodney was nervous. He was utterly flustered. Sarah glanced at him and smiled. “You were so drunk last night. What could’ve happened?”Rodney breathed out a huge sigh of relief. “Don’t worry. I slept on the sofa last night.” Sarah rubbed her tired eyes and said, “But you vomited, so I took off your clothes and sent them for washing. You can ask Hans to send a set of clothes over.”“Okay.” Rodney was relieved. Seeing Sarah’s tired appearance, he felt very guilty. “Thank you for last night. I drank too much last night. Rory, that crazy guy, must’ve sent me to your place because he thought something was going on between us.”“Don’t blame Rory. You were the one who said you didn’t want to go home. Rory didn’t know where to send you, so he brought you to my place.”Sarah said guiltily, “He said you went to drink because you were frustrated over Freya wanting to get a divorce. Rodney, why don’t I go and explain things to Freya?”“Never mind. I think she’ll be so angry that she might
“Since you know that it’s your marriage, why didn’t you cherish it? I’m too lazy to talk to you. You can drag out this marriage, but Freya has no intention of spending her days with you anymore. I can see that she has made up her mind.”Old Master Snow said resignedly, “Just let her go. Let yourself off the hook too.”“Let go?” Rodney was so agitated that he was about to lose control. “Grandpa, all of you were the ones who said she’s a very good woman and asked me to marry her. I got married because of you all, and now I have to get divorced because you all told me to. I’m a person with feelings and opinions as well!”Rodney hung up after he spoke. He still had not fully vented his anger even after hanging up and simply smashed the phone. He walked in long strides. After getting in the car, he drove speedily toward Freya’s company. When Rodney arrived, her office door was closed.Freya’s secretary, Charlene, passed by. She reminded him, “Miss Lynch hasn’t been coming to the com
After the song ended, Catherine and Eliza went to Freya’s side. “Dear Freya, I added a song to the playlist for you.” Catherine handed the microphone to Freya. “It’s called ‘Release’,”“...”“Release from what?” Eliza asked.Freya was taken aback. “Hasn’t Cathy told you yet?”“I arrived a few minutes earlier than you. She pulled me over to sing the moment I came in.” Eliza looked at Freya’s sickly expression. She raised her eyebrows. “Did something happen between you and Rodney?”“Not only is there a problem but we’re also preparing to get a divorce.” Freya sighed.”That b*stard was secretly hiding Sarah, the woman that Cathy and I hate the most. Forget it. You don’t know who Sarah is. She’s a very bad, evil woman. I despise her to the point that I want to grind her bones and scatter her ashes.”Eliza was about to grab a wine glass. Upon hearing Freya’s words, her hand stiffened. She only grabbed the wine glass after pausing for two seconds. After Catherine, who was at the sid
Freya accepted the tissue. She was touched. “By the way, Eliza, you’re not interested in dating or men at all. Is it because you’ve met horrible guys before as well?”Eliza lowered her head and gazed at the dark red liquid in the wine glass.She could not help but lament. The guys she met were not only horrible. They were scumbags.Whether as Charity or Eliza, who had already passed away, they both sacrificed their lives for scumbags. Seeing that Eliza went silent all of a sudden, Catherine recalled Chester saying viciously that Eliza only obtained her current achievements through men. She did not suspect Eliza’s character, but everyone had their own sad stories. She quickly nudged Freya lightly.Freya was stunned for a moment. Then, she came back to her senses. “It’s okay if you don’t want to answer. I was just asking.”“Actually… It’s nothing big.”Eliza curved her intricate lips faintly. “It’s just that I was tricked when I was young and naive. That person was sweet with
Shaun said, “... I didn’t offend you, though.”Catherine glanced at him. “You still hurt me a lot in the past. Don’t touch me tonight. It’s annoying.”“...”F*ck, he got caught up in the mess even though he laid low. It was all that b*stard Rodney’s fault. Young Master Hill’s hatred for Rodney deepened further. “Come on. Let’s go home.”Freya walked over with her bag. “I have to go back to be with Dani. Dani still isn’t familiar with the official residence’s nanny. She might miss me.”Catherine waved her hand. “Let’s go. Shaun will give you all a ride.”“No need. My van is downstairs.” Eliza bid goodbye to the others at the parking lot.There was a driver who had tanned skin in the van. After Eliza got in, she rubbed her temples. Her eyes that still looked happy just now slowly turned icy. “How’s the investigation on Sarah going?”The driver was taken aback. He said, “We found out that she went to a manor and worked as a waitress some time back. After that, she went missing
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
