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
Catherine’s heart thumped when she thought about it.“I won’t dare to in the future.” She shook her head weakly.Shaun smiled. “Look at how timid you look. When will you be able to give me a child, hm?”Catherine’s little face immediately turned red.She hugged his neck and buried her face in his chest. She was so shy that she could not speak for a long time.“Forget it. You’ll be my woman sooner or later.”Shaun’s tone when he hugged her was very bossy.Catherine found it sweet and felt very blessed....When the two fell asleep, they did not know that news regarding the charity event that night had spread throughout Melbourne. Everyone knew about it.At that moment, in the Jones’ residence, Jeffery once again received a call from a partner.“President Jones, have you seen your daughter’s lowly appearance?“Hehe, let your daughter stay with me for one night and I’ll work with you on a project.”“Shut up!” Jeffery’s body shook with anger as he cursed, “Keep your mouth clea
Jeffery shivered when the cold wind blew in. For the first time, a sense of regret rose in his heart.It had clearly been a good home. How did it shatter in just three months?The next day, Jeffery received a call that he had been expelled from the board of directors in Hudson.He rushed to the company in a fit of anger, but the security guard at the door would not let him in at all and kicked him out.With nowhere else to go, Jeffery got drunk at the bar and only went back at midnight.On this night, he drunkenly pushed open the villa door. There were no lights inside, and the cold moonlight seeped in through the floor-to-ceiling windows.There was a wheelchair in the middle of the living room, and on it sat an elderly woman with a hunched back and scattered hair. The figure looked particularly horrifying.Jeffery was so scared that his legs went weak. He turned and tried to run.However, the door slammed shut behind him, and the living room became darker.“Mom…” Jeffery knee
Jeffery turned pale. He knew that he was in trouble.If he did not testify now, then he might really end up in jail when Sally pushed the responsibility to him. “Okay, I’ll confess. It was Sally Lennon. She took advantage of when your grandmother was sleeping and… suffocated her to death.”Perhaps it was the last trace of his conscience, but Jeffery finally fell to the ground and cried.Catherine and Aunty Wendy also cried. They did not expect Old Madam Jones’ end to be so miserable.Aunty Wendy asked, “One last question. That day the old madam fell from the stairs, was it Rebecca who did it?”“I really don’t know about that.” Jeffery shook his head, but thinking about Rebecca’s personality, he felt that she might have really done it. However, he only had one daughter and did not want her to go to jail.In the end, Jeffery was taken away by the police for questioning.Catherine looked at the dark villa behind her.This was once her home, but now it was a place she no longer wan
Sally cried out and said, “Your father is a beast! He actually said that I killed your grandmother. Rebecca, you have to protect yourself.”Sally was quickly taken away, and Rebecca fell to the ground. She had suffered in the countryside for over 20 years, and it had not been easy for her to come here. However, only after one year, her family was destroyed.If something happened to Jeffery and Sally, what qualifications would she have to be the eldest miss of the Jones family?No, no. She did not want to go back to those days!She hurriedly called Stephen. “Stephen, I’m begging you. Please help me. My mom and dad were taken away by the police. As long as you help me, I promise that I’ll marry you. I’ll give you half of Hudson’s shares.”“Rebecca Jones, I understand now. Misfortune befalls whoever is with you. First, it was Ethan Lowe, and now your mom and dad are going to jail. My reputation was also completely ruined by you. Get lost and stay away from me in the future. Just the
Catherine had not seen him this angry for a long time. She quickly hung up the phone and explained it to him. “Did you see those photos? Don’t misunderstand—”“Misunderstand? How am I supposed to misunderstand?”Shaun grabbed the phone in his hands and threw it at her. His dark pupils were covered with disappointment, disgust, and hatred.“Take a look at those disgusting pictures yourself. You claim that you don’t like Wesley Lyons, but you hugged him tightly and even took off his clothes. Catherine Jones, why are you so shameless?”His phone hit her chest hard. It hurt, but not as much as her heart was.How many men could keep calm if they saw pictures like these? He had been cuckolded by her.“No, I was set up! That night, Rebecca Jones forced me to drink, and Wesley Lyons saved me. Nothing happened between us.”Catherine shook her head and choked as she explained, “I soaked myself in cold water the entire night.”“Do you take me for a fool?”An eerie cold laugh sounded from
Originally, Catherine did feel slightly suspicious, but after hearing Wesley’s tone, she felt that she was being too pessimistic. Wesley was a gentleman. He would never spread photos like that.“He’s angry now. You’ll only make it worse if you call him.” Catherine smiled bitterly. “Didn’t you say that you destroyed the camera back then? Why…”“I did destroy it. I even checked it at that time.” Wesley’s tone showed how distressed he was. “I think the photos were transferred to Rebecca Jones in real-time. I was negligent. I found out that the photos online were spread to a reporter by Rebecca.”Catherine smiled wryly. She had underestimated Rebecca. These photos were too provocative.“I’m sorry.” Wesley apologized again. “I’m fine since I’m a man, but it’ll really affect your reputation. If there’s anything I can do for you, just let me know and I’ll try my best to make it up to you.”“Thank you. I have a call from the company I need to take. Let’s talk later.”Catherine quickly hu
