With a somber expression, Shaun trampled Willie’s chest. “Recently, you seem quite awe-inspiring in Melbourne, huh? With your peculiar hobby, how dare you kick up a fuss in Melbourne? You might not care about losing your reputation, but the Hill family does. You actually treat yourself as the boss of the Hill family, huh?” “Brother Shaun, I know it’s my fault. I won’t do it again,” Willie kept begging him in fear.“No. I do think that you’re pretty bold. You even dare to attempt getting a piece of my woman’s affection.” Shaun scoffed grimly.Willie was stunned. “Rebecca is your woman?”“I wouldn’t be interested in that kind of woman.” Shaun slowly bent over and squatted. His eyes suddenly turned frosty.Struck by a thought, Willie asked incredulously, “Are you referring to… Catherine...?”“It’s good that you remember her. I don’t wish to find out that I wronged an innocent person only after dealing with you.” Shaun straightened up. Willie was aware of the tactic Shaun was goin
...8:30 a.m.In the meeting room, all the directors were ashen-faced and furious. At the mention of Catherine, they wished they could eat her up. “Chris is to blame for this matter. If he hadn’t taken Catherine in, Hudson wouldn’t have offended the Hill family.”“Is she out of her mind? How dare she beat Willie? The Hills are a prominent family, and we clearly can’t afford to provoke them.” “I heard the person who offended Willie before this was a billionaire from Gold Coast. His family was bankrupt overnight.”“Yeah. Willie is terrifying.”“...”Amid the directors’ discussion, Jeffery let out a long sigh. “It’s all my fault. I shouldn’t have allowed Rebecca to bring Willie along yesterday. But I heard Willie came here for an inspection, and I was hoping that Hudson could work with Hill Corporation.”“True. If we could collaborate with Hill Corporation, it’d greatly benefit Hudson.” “We were wrong. We should’ve made Jeffery the chairman.”“I regret my decision too. I sho
“I knew Young Master Hill would do something about it.” Jeffery pointed at Catherine and told her off, “Look, Young Master is here now. You’d better settle it on your own.” “Don’t ever go against him.” Rebecca tried to kick her when she was down. “If you offend Young Master Hill again, even I won’t be able to calm him down on your behalf.” “Let’s just seize her and bring her downstairs.” Jeffery’s suggestion was instantly approved by many.Four to five security officers immediately walked toward Catherine. With a frown, Elle blocked them in front of Catherine. “If you guys dare touch her, don’t blame me for being rude.”“What are you guys waiting for? Seize the two of them right now.” Jeffery still resented Elle for kicking him the other day. Now came the chance to take revenge on her.When Catherine realized that they were going to get into a fight, she dragged Elle away. “It’s fine. You don’t have to seize me. I’ll go there on my own.”As soon as she finished speaking, she wa
“I know. I don’t need you to tell me.” Willie’s gaze rested on Catherine.Catherine’s heart did a flip. She quickly took out her phone and swung it as a reminder for him. “Young Master Hill, you—”“Miss Jones, regarding last night’s incident, it was my fault.” Willie strode toward her and expressed his sincere apologies.The crowd was speechless.Catherine was at a loss for words as well.She was totally stunned. Damn, using his indecent photos to threaten him actually worked.It turned out that Shaun was right.The Hill family was most concerned about their dignity? They could not afford to lose it?Rebecca and Jeffery rubbed their eyes hard. They seriously doubted if their eyes were deceiving them.“Young Master Hill, I think you’re mistaken.” Rebecca summoned up her courage again and tugged the hem of Willie’s shirt. “Did you forget that last night—”“Just zip it!”Feeling impatient, Willie gave Rebecca a kick. “I accidentally offended you after getting drunk last night,
“Fond of you?” Willie’s reaction was as though he heard a joke. “You got into bed with me despite having a boyfriend. Do you think I’d give a damn about you? You’re no different from the whores out there.” A slap landed on her cheek, but this time, it seemed to have landed on her heart as well.Rebecca nearly missed her footing.There were quite a number of people around her, including employees and shareholders of Hudson. The situation had caused an uproar among them, and they looked at her with contempt.“I didn’t expect her to be this kind of person. Before this, she gave me the impression of being pure and noble.”“Yeah. A lot of men in the company treated her as a goddess.”“Luckily, I didn’t introduce her to my son. She’s indeed shameless.”“...”Amid the constant humiliation, Rebecca’s face turned pale. She had put so much effort into building an enviable reputation before this, yet it was all destroyed at this point.As her father, Jeffery shook with embarrassment. “Y
How on earth did Catherine bewitch Shaun? The way Willie looked at Catherine now was totally different.“Yeah, Elle is brilliant.” Catherine stopped walking.Elle intentionally walked farther away to give the two of them some space. Catherine remained silent while waiting for Willie to ask about the photos. However, after a long wait, he did not utter a word. He even looked at her with a mixture of admiration, fear, and helplessness. “...”Catherine was completely speechless. “Well… Young Master Hill, are you experiencing any side effects as a result of being electrocuted last night?”“Absolutely not. I became clear-headed instead.” Willie grinned. “Miss Jones, it’s my greatest honor to be able to meet you in Melbourne. Can we be friends?”“But the photos…”Willie waved his hand. “You can keep the photos if you like.”The corners of Catherine’s mouth twitched. Why would she like his indecent photos? “Don’t you blame me for stripping off your clothes and even humiliating you
“Don’t, don’t.” At the thought of Shaun’s order yesterday, Willie immediately stopped Catherine. “He refused to let me tell you about it. Considering that I’ve shared my private videos with you, could you please pretend that you don’t know anything, Miss Jones?”Despite having such a bold idea cross her mind, Catherine was still astounded to hear that from Willie.Shaun was actually a member of the most brilliant Hill family. Since Willie was so respectful and afraid of Shaun, could it be that the two of them... were related? She would never have thought of provoking the Hill family. The family was too complicated for an ordinary person like her to imagine.“Alright, I promise, but can I know how Rebecca got to know you?” Catherine asked while forcing herself to calm down.“It was Stephen who introduced her to me,” Willie sneered, “My assistant is related to the Campbell family. Stephen wanted to form a relationship with me, so he sent his girlfriend to me.”The corners of Cathe
“I know. You did quite well.”Shaun sat there nonchalantly with a sense of great nobility emanating from his handsome face.Willie was inwardly filled with joy. Before he could speak, Shaun’s thin lips began moving.“But… didn’t she suspect anything?”As soon as Shaun finished speaking, an aura of coldness and awe permeated the surroundings. Willie’s heart seemed to have frozen. “Don’t lie to me, Willie,” Shaun warned dully, “You remember what happened when you were 18 after you lied to me, don’t you?”Willie shuddered. The year he turned 18 was his darkest year ever.“She… She did suspect.” Shaking like a leaf, Willie was too scared to hide it from him. “She now knows that you come from the Hill family, but I didn’t tell her about it. She was the one who tricked me, and I made a mistake. Moreover, we share the same last name...”Shaun rubbed his brows. He knew earlier that Willie, this dumb*ss, would fail to do as per his instructions and end up creating more trouble for him.
