Catherine was stunned. She had actually planned to ask Shaun about his identity. However, the fact that he asked Willie to conceal his identity showed that he did not feel like revealing it to her. In that case, she would not bother asking him. “No.”Shaun slowly dropped his gaze. Catherine glanced at the time and said, “I’m going to attend an auction tonight, so I won’t be home for dinner. Do you want to… come along with me?”She cautiously asked even though she felt that he would not agree to come along. Judging from his arrogant character, he would not be interested in this kind of occasion.“Okay.”“Huh?” Catherine was dazed, thinking that she misheard him.“I said okay. Why are you surprised?”Shaun gazed at her dazed expression with a smile.“But you don’t like to participate in the events held in Melbourne.”“I’m coming along to prevent any men from flirting with you.” He drove seriously with his eyes fixed on the road ahead. Catherine turned her head and looked at his
Several women who were married to wealthy businessmen soon surrounded Catherine and buttered her up.“Chairwoman Jones, where did you buy this gown? It’s beautiful!”“The necklace you’re wearing is from Tiffany and it’s the newest design, right?”“...”“Good evening, everyone.”All of a sudden, Janet held a glass of red wine and walked over to Catherine with ill intentions. “Ah, Chairwoman Jones, I didn’t expect that you’d have the leisure to participate in the auction. Hang on, I’m not sure if I should still call you Chairwoman Jones now.”“What do you mean, Miss Campbell?” one of the women, Madam Clark, asked in a huff.Janet sighed. “Perhaps all of you aren’t aware of what happened. I heard that Chairwoman Jones beat up Willie, who came from Canberra, during Hudson’s anniversary celebration last night.”“What? Are you referring to that Willie from the Hill family?”“Yeah, it’s him.” Janet nodded. “My friend told me that Chairwoman Jones caused Young Master Hill’s face to be
Everyone began to talk about it. “It’s Ethan from Lowe Corporation. How generous of him.”“I heard that he’s in a relationship with the young lady from the affluent Steele household.”“I see. The Steele family is quite popular in Melbourne. Looks like he’ll be able to turn things around.”“Exactly. But the current chairwoman of Hudson, Catherine, is his ex-girlfriend.”“Catherine’s boyfriend isn’t taking action at the moment. I guess he can’t bear to buy this expensive necklace for his girlfriend.”Absorbed in the spectacle, everyone suddenly shifted their gazes to Catherine.Little did Catherine expect that she would be involved in the discussion. She quickly held Shaun and said with a low voice, “Don’t bother about what others say. Comments are just like ornaments. Basically, they’re of no use except for drawing admiration from others. They’re like second-hand items which are not worth spending on.”Shaun gazed at her seriously. He actually noticed her fascination for The Qu
At last, Shaun got the highest bid for the necklace at an astronomical price of three billion dollars. An employee cautiously handed him The Queen’s Necklace in full view of everyone.Shaun took out the red necklace which glittered brilliantly.Upon taking it out, he said to Catherine who was in a daze in a deep voice, “Stand up.”Catherine stood up, looking confused. His strikingly handsome figure was reflected in her bright, clear eyes.Shaun’s exquisite, thin lips curved into a charming smile. He bent over slightly and placed the necklace around her neck. His masculine, mellow voice sounded enchanting. “From today onward, you’ll be my queen.”“Wow!”The guest beside her gasped in admiration.Catherine’s heart was thumping. Although the price of the necklace made her heart ache so much that it bled, the occasion had created the illusion of their wedding. The man had fulfilled all her wishes.What surprised her more was Shaun’s romantic demeanor. The red diamond necklace s
“This kind of person is terrifying indeed. He actually sent his girlfriend to another man for the sake of achieving his goal.”“Luckily, I didn’t approve it when the Campbell family wanted to have a blind date with my daughter.”“Yeah. It’s disgusting how he usually acts like a gentleman. I’d better stay away from the Campbell family in the future.” “He might have sent Janet to sleep with a man too.”“That’s possible. I initially had feelings for Janet, but I shall just forget about it. I don’t want to be cuckolded.”In the face of the public’s criticisms, Janet was so upset that she screamed, “Who did this? It has nothing to do with me!”Janet and Stephen, who felt smug at first, were deeply embarrassed at the moment.When Ethan was getting ready to leave, his handsome face turned pale. He thought that he was already aware of Rebecca’s true colors. Little did he know that she was much more disgusting than he had imagined her to be. How many men had she actually been with?The
Stephen and Janet Campbell caught up to them.Stephen’s face was covered with hideous anger. He wanted nothing more than to strangle Catherine alive.Shaun pulled Catherine behind him, his tall and handsome figure exuding a powerful aura.“Catherine Jones, did you play the video?” Stephen yelled angrily. “Very well, you’ve completely pissed me off. If I don’t kill you, then my name isn’t Stephen Campbell.”Janet also said impulsively, “Do you know who you’ve offended? That’s Willie Hill! Even if you’ve censored his face, he won’t spare you now that you’ve spread such videos of him.”Catherine raised her eyebrows and smiled brightly. “Have you ever wondered where this video came from and who gave it to me? Or did you think I would dare record something in Willie Hill’s room?”Stephen and Janet both grew stiff at the same time. A moment later, Stephen shook his head. “That’s impossible. This video couldn’t have been given to you by Young Master Hill. You offended him last night, so
After returning home, Catherine carefully took off the diamond necklace after sitting under the desk lamp and stared at it lovingly. “It’s so beautiful. There’s no flaw at all.”“I thought you said you didn’t like jewelry.” Shaun walked behind her and teased, “You even said it was just second-hand goods.”Catherine blushed and stammered, “I… I just think it’s too expensive. It’s three billion dollars. How long would it take to earn that much?”“Ethan Lowe was willing to give that much for his woman, so why would I care about this amount?” Shaun scoffed condescendingly. “For me, money doesn’t matter. What’s important is that you like it.”Catherine blinked, instantly understanding that he was trying to compete with Ethan.However, that did not matter. The more he minded Ethan, the more it showed that he cared about her.“Shaunny, Ethan really doesn’t have anything to do with me. I also don’t like him anymore. The one I love is you.”She turned around and hugged his neck, kissing
His hair was obviously just blow-dried, which gave him a messy appearance. With his handsome face, there was an unrestrained sense of wildness emanating from all over his body.Catherine looked up at him in fascination.At that moment, she really wanted to thank Freya.It was her mistake that sent this man to her side.He had helped her time and again.It was also him who made her brave enough to survive till this day.Tonight, he got her The Queen’s Necklace, making her the most enviable woman in Melbourne.She was also an ordinary person with vanity and was easily moved.“Shaunny…” Catherine rose and hooked his neck. Her stunning face flashed with shyness. “Should we… try it?”She had made up her mind. Regardless of whether the Hill family accepted her or not in the future, she wanted to give her most precious thing to this man.Shaun froze.She had been resistant to those things these days, and he had not gone further either. Why was she suddenly...Was it because she kn
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
