In just a week, Deputy Manager Wolfe swiftly reorganized everything in Hudson. He expelled those from the top management who were against Catherine.As for Rebecca, she was fired as well.However, she did not know about the huge issue going on out there.When she was in the detention center, the prisoners beat her and poured cold water on her every day. Due to this, her skin was thoroughly damaged. After Rebecca suffered for seven to eight days, Jeffery strenuously saved her from the detention center after spending ten million dollars.She came out being carried.Upon noticing her swollen face, Sally hugged her and wept bitterly.“My darling, what happened to you? Who beat you? I won’t let the person off the hook.”“Dad, Mom, you must take revenge on my behalf. It hurts really badly… Boo-hoo.”Rebecca’s face hurt so badly that she could not even look up.Rebecca’s swollen face filled Stephen with disgust. This woman was increasingly far from presentable.“Don’t worry, good
“It’s quite easy to regain power,” Stephen said all of a sudden.Struck by the comment, Jeffery and his family stared at him intently.“Stephen, tell us quickly. We’re family,” Rebecca immediately said, “Once Catherine steps down, I’ll marry you.”Stephen narrowed his eyes. “Willie Hill from the Hill family is coming to Melbourne for inspection. As long as you can please him, Hudson’s top management and directors will take your side.”All of their eyes sparkled. Jeffery shuddered in agitation. “The Hill family is the most brilliant family in the whole of Melbourne. Even though Willie isn’t a direct descendant of the Hill family, we’ll be able to increase our status as long as we become acquainted with the Hills. In that case, we won’t be troubled by Catherine anymore.”“Sounds good.” Stephen nodded. “Since Willie’s assistant is related to my family, I’ll serve him during the occasion and introduce you guys to him. Having said that, you guys need to prepare a gift to ingratiate w
Shaun remained silent. He raised his brows while looking at Catherine, wondering how she was going to introduce him to the man.“He’s my boyfriend,” Catherine answered directly.“I’m aware of your grandpa’s intention, Young Master Irvine, but I’m already in love with someone else. Please also tell the directors that I’m very busy. I hardly have time to spend with young masters like you guys.”Unwilling to give up, Young Master Irvine said, “You’re a smart person. You’d better think wisely. If you marry into the family of a director in the company, it’ll do both of us good. In my opinion, your boyfriend has nothing else except for looks. He’s not a good match for you.”Shaun’s face darkened while the corners of Elle’s mouth twitched violently. Elle looked at Young Master Irvine as if he was a really strange man.“Thank you for your advice, but I’m in love with him. I’ve fallen hopelessly in love with him, and he’s the one worthy of my love. Please leave now.” Catherine drove him aw
“I don’t care. You have to go there, or I’m going to get mad and ignore you.” Catherine wore a big pout.Her unreasonable manner made Shaun speechless.With that, he walked over there and reluctantly took a seat.Ten minutes later, Catherine held a family bucket meal, which included fries, spicy chicken burgers, and ice cream. “Eat this chicken burger. It’s yummy.” Catherine recommended it to him with enthusiasm.“Let me show you something.” Shaun took out his phone and swiped to a page displaying negative news about KFC. Then, he passed it to her.After glancing at the picture featuring a chicken that consists of a few pairs of wings and over ten legs, Catherine was filled with disgust. “Shaun, can you not be a wet blanket?” “This kind of stuff contains large amounts of toxic ingredients. After today, you’re not allowed to have this type of food anymore. You’re not even a kid.” Shaun was determined.Catherine could not be bothered about him. She lowered her head and gobbled
Shaun’s breathing hitched, and he raised his attractive brows a little. “So you’re trying to get me to forget about this matter this way, huh? Do you know that it’s my first time stepping into KFC tonight to have a meal there?”Catherine felt that he was flirting with her. Sometimes, Catherine was just easily moved. Once she noticed that Shaun was doing something small for her, she would be filled with sweetness as if she had consumed honey. “What about this? Will you be satisfied?” She bit her pink lip. Then, she put her hands around his neck with a flushed face and gave him another kiss.This time, Shaun held her head and gave her a long kiss. Only when she began puffing did he let her go....In a luxurious private room.Stephen and Janet tried to please the handsome man seated at the center of the couch. That man was Willie who had come from Canberra.The Hill family was the most brilliant family in Melbourne. Even an extended member of the Hill family would be hugely adm
After the crowd left, Janet said to Stephen in a huff, “Are you out of your mind? Why didn’t you introduce me to Willie? I’d definitely be able to benefit our family if I became the young mistress of the Hill family.”“Willie isn’t interested in you,” Stephen replied coldly while lighting a cigarette.Janet flew into a rage. “What do you mean? In your eyes, I’m not as good-looking as Rebecca, huh? At least I didn’t grow up in a rural area—”“I’m doing this for your good. Willie has the filthy habit of sleeping with someone’s girlfriend or wife.”Janet was dumbfounded.Stephen added, “You’re my biological sister. If there’s an easy path to great success, I’d certainly offer it to you first. However, Willie is a pervert. He has even killed a woman.” “Are you sure?” Janet shuddered.“It’s absolutely true. If it wasn’t for our relative who works as his assistant, I wouldn’t have known about it.” Stephen slowly rose to his feet. “Otherwise, why would you think that I offered Rebecca
“Young Master Hill, I’d like to partner with you for the project, but I’ve just been let go from my job in Hudson.” Looking dejected, Rebecca gave a bitter smile. “My dad’s and my positions are at stake…”“I can solve anything for you as long as you do your part well in keeping me company.” A smile flashed across Willie’s face. “All the women around me have never failed to receive favorable treatment from me.”“In that case, I’ll definitely treat you well.” With grim determination, she kissed him on her own accord.Shortly afterward, Rebecca’s howls sounded from the room once again.Weeping bitterly, she thought deep down, ‘Catherine, I’m suffering so much now. I’ll certainly pay you back with interest in the future!’...The year was drawing to a close.Hudson’s anniversary was celebrated in a seven-star hotel.Not only did Hudson invite a few well-known celebrities for the night, but quite a number of business powerhouses had also shown up.7:00 p.m.As the newly-appointed
Having noticed Catherine earlier, Willie stared at her passionately. He never knew that a woman with such dazzling good looks existed in Melbourne. Her beauty was considered outstanding even if she were in Canberra. “Hi, Miss Jones.”Willie stretched out his hand light-heartedly. Catherine was also astonished that Rebecca had managed to take advantage of Willie from the Hill family.Catherine had no choice but to extend her hand reluctantly, knowing that she could not afford to provoke him.Who knew after Willie held her hand, he flirtatiously drew circles on her palm using his little finger.A slight change was visible in Catherine’s expression. She attempted to shrink away from his touch, yet he deliberately tightened his grip on her hand.“Miss Jones, how long are you planning to hold my hand?” Willie smiled discreetly.Rebecca immediately pursed her lips and exclaimed, “What are you doing, Catherine?”The reporters who stood at the edge of the red carpet took photos of the
