“…”Catherine did not say a word. She simply pressed her elegant lips together. Shaun started feeling nervous. “Can you give me an identity…”That cautious look made Catherine recall the bossy and haughty Shaun from the past. She could not hold back her laughter.Seeing that Catherine was laughing, Shaun let out a sigh of relief. He pulled her petite hand. “Cathy, the way you stayed silent just now scared me.”“Am I that scary?” Catherine gave him a slanted gaze. “Weren’t you quite arrogant in front of me before?”“How was I arrogant?” Shaun made a wronged expression. “I was prideful in the past. Now, I can give up everything for my wife. I only want you.”“You’re aware of the consequences Rodney has to face, aren’t you? If you wrong me again…” Catherine smiled. “It’ll be tragic.”“Cathy, don’t you know that you’re even more charming now?” Shaun said with a deep gaze, “You’ve gotten even smarter and capable. I’m lucky to be able to marry you.”“Yes, count yourself lucky.” Cat
Why would Grady do that?Sarah suddenly understood in an instant. She had never successfully hypnotized Grady. She was the one who was deceived by him.“So he deceived me. He was deceiving me all along.”Too many things had been happening lately. Sarah’s brain was on the verge of a breakdown. She shouted as if she had gone mad, “I never did it! Don’t accuse me. I’m just an ordinary psychologist.”“Is that true?” The police officer sneered. “But your biological brother admitted it too. He said you actually hated your stepmother. On the surface, it appeared as if you respected Jennifer a lot. In private, you kept instigating Thomas and Jennifer so that they would fight. You also egged Thomas on to anger his father to death. Your evil actions make people boil with anger. You didn’t even spare your biological father.”Even when faced with the police’s interrogation, Sarah insisted on not admitting anything. When the police gathered more and more evidence, the prosecutor’s office rai
On the other hand, Eliza closed her eyes in agony.The prosecutor stood up. “From Thomas’ words, it can be sufficiently proven that Sarah had the motive for murder. Based on the words of Sarah’s ex-boyfriend, we know that her capability in hypnosis is exceptional. The last person Jennifer met was Sarah. Within half an hour after Sarah left, an accident happened to Jennifer and she passed away. We’ve consulted an expert psychologist as well. If Sarah had hypnotized Jennifer first, it was definitely possible to make Jennifer disoriented and die from a fall.”“Nonsense. These are all your speculations!” Sarah shouted.“Your Honor, this was Jennifer’s health report when she was alive. She was very healthy.” The prosecutor handed over a document. “There are also some examples of past cases where people used hypnosis to carry out murder.”After an hour-long trial, the judge finally gave a verdict for Sarah’s crimes. As Sarah had done too many evil acts in addition to murder, the judge im
For some strange reason, Rodney was envious. He heard that they would be having a celebration on a cruise ship. There was a time when he was one of them as well. No matter where they went, he would never be left out. Rodney was the one who dug his own grave. He fell out with every one of them for Sarah.Now…Bitterness filled Rodney’s heart. He hesitated and agonized for a long time. Finally, he walked over. “Shaun, Chester, Freya…”When the last name came out of his lips, his gaze was filled with pain and guilt. He turned to Freya.Freya’s expression went cold instantly. She was extremely uncomfortable, looking as though she had swallowed a fly. She did not look at him but simply took out her phone and looked at the time. “It’s already 11:00 a.m. Shall we leave?”“Freya…” Rodney was anxious. He stood in front of her in a hurry. “I… I’m sorry. I apologize for everything I did to you in the past. I was too stupid. I was deceived by Sarah repeatedly and hurt you. I made such a
“Ah, why would he be afraid? He even abandoned his ex-wife and daughter for a murderer.”“Is there something wrong with his brain?”“He’s pretty handsome, but why is his brain all mashed up? No wonder he got cheated on.”“...”Rodney was like a zombie.They could just say all they wanted about him.That was because he was disgusted with himself as well. Just what kind of demon was he in love with for over ten years?He finally saw through everything that day.…At the parking lot, Shaun opened the car door. Before he got in, he suddenly said to everyone, “You guys can go on the cruise ship first. Cathy and I will only head over after getting our marriage certificate at the registry office.”It was not just Catherine who was stunned but the rest too. Freya widened her eyes. Then, she pulled her best friend’s arm and yelled in agitation, “Why didn’t you tell me about such an important thing? Besides, didn’t you say you’d wait for me? Are you going to abandon me and get marr
“It’s fine as long as they’re happy in their relationship. Besides, your best friend is such a smart person. Since she’s willing to let go of the past, it means she truly loves Shaun.”“You’re right…”Freya was aware that her situation was different from Catherine’s. She only got together with Rodney because of her pregnancy, while Shaun and Catherine had children out of love. Shaun had also never betrayed Catherine when it came to intimacy matters from the beginning till the end…”“By the way, we’re going on a cruise ship to celebrate later. Do you… want to go with me? Do you have time?”Ryan chuckled. “This is the first time you’re inviting me to meet your friends. I have to go.”“Aren’t you very busy?”“I knew that you guys would surely have a celebration today. To prevent you from getting drunk, I finished my work beforehand,” Ryan said gently, “I’ve been waiting for you all day.”“It seems like you’re quite tactful.” Freya found it sweet. Ryan was always very attentive. “Co
Catherine raised her head. As she gazed into the man’s gentle dark eyes, it was as if sweetness was overflowing in her heart. Shaun lowered his head and looked at his wife’s sweet eyes. He could not resist kissing her lips. “I can’t stand you two anymore. Stop bullying single people.” Freya found it so cheesy that she covered her eyes. “Come on, you’re not single.” Catherine teased her. Just as she spoke, there was movement from the back of the cruise ship. Not long after, Ryan walked over. He wore a spotless white shirt with black pants. When matched with that young, supple, and handsome face of his, he was like a dashing gentleman. There was a smile on the corners of his mouth and a bright gleam in his narrow eyes. He looked as clean and clear as water. For some reason, Freya found him particularly handsome that day. Although she thought Chester was good-looking just now, Ryan had the steadiness of a mature man and a brightness that Shaun and Chester did not.Having him as
“I’ve asked. It should be in two months.” Eliza gazed at the deep blue horizon afar. Actually, she did not really like the sea. It was because her past body had drowned to death in the ocean. “It takes that long?”“Isn’t that good? Death is a relief. What’s scary is the fear she’d face in these two months. Think about it. If you know you’re about to die, won’t you feel fearful every day? I’m guessing it’ll be hard to sleep at night,” Catherine said jokingly.Freya was stunned. She suddenly found the outcome satisfying. At that moment, there were some movements from below.The three of them looked down. They realized that Ryan had caught a fish. Freya immediately ran down excitedly. Ryan was removing a black-colored fish from the fishing hook. “Wow, you’re amazing. You caught a fish so quickly.” Freya’s gaze on Ryan was sparkly. There were still other people around them. Ryan was embarrassed by her gaze. The tips of his ears were a little red. “It’s just good luck. Look at
