“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
8:00 p.m.The grand anniversary celebration officially began.Catherine was supposed to be the focus of the event. However, all the guests surrounded Willie, Jeffery, and Rebecca instead.In the magnates’ eyes, the Hill family was regarded as legendary.Although Willie was not a direct descendant of the Hill family, his presence in Melbourne was powerful enough to draw considerable attention. Chris walked toward Catherine. “How did Jeffery manage to worm a connection with Willie?”“I presume that Rebecca slept with him.” Catherine made a reasonable guess. She could already see Willie’s nasty character through the brief encounter she had with him at the entrance just now. A look of contempt washed over Chris’ face. “Your grandparents have a reputation of nobility and integrity, yet a shameless descendant like her is a disgrace.” Catherine’s head hurt. Originally, she was more than likely to succeed, but Willie’s appearance had captured the attention of the company’s directors
This was too infuriating.“Let me go.” Catherine bit Willie violently.Willie released his grip in pain and then laughed. “Sure enough, you’re feisty. That’s interesting. I like feisty women.” “Are you crazy? After all, the Hill family is the most brilliant family in Melbourne. Why would a disgusting, scummy man like you exist in their family?” Catherine criticized.“Go on criticizing me. The more severely you criticize me, the more misery I’ll inflict upon you.” Willie scoffed. “The directors of your company all treat me as a legend. Jeffery has requested me to assist him in gaining the chairman’s position tomorrow. I can easily say something and make you get lost. Having said that, I’ll reconsider it if you serve me well tonight.” Struck by a thought, Catherine feigned panic and said, “Is this for real?”“Of course.” Willie smirked, knowing that women were just scummy.“You must help me, Young Master Hill,” Catherine pouted and said as she feigned weakness, “I can do anythin
In the villa.Shaun, who was having a video meeting in the study, heard the sound of a car from downstairs. He rose to his feet with his slender figure. “This plan isn’t feasible. Come up with another one.”As soon as he finished speaking, he disconnected from the meeting and headed downstairs.Muddle-headed, Catherine walked in through the door. She even forgot to change her shoes.Shaun narrowed his eyes and gazed at her long black dress. Her snowy arms and half of her calves were revealed. With a frown, he swiftly took off his coat and put it on her body. As he shifted his eyes downward, he suddenly noticed a snag on the hem.“Why is your dress snagged?” His black eyes were fixed on her.Only when she looked down did she notice it. Perhaps the dress had caught on something sharp when she crawled out of the window from the restroom just now.“I accidentally snagged it.” Catherine averted her eyes, not wanting him to know that she had provoked Willie.Shaun was just a lawyer
