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
The crowd went silent. After half a minute of silence, General Manager Wolfe nodded. “We’ll do as Chairwoman Jones says.”Soon, Husdon’s Facebook posted an update to the public.[The photos were taken more than a month ago. Chairwoman Jones was framed and set up. Fortunately, Wesley Lyons appeared in time to save Chairwoman Jones, but nothing happened between the two parties. The two are still close friends now. We hope everyone will stop discussing the matter.]Then, Wesley personally shared the post.[At that time, Chairwoman Jones was drugged, but she quickly sobered up and soaked in a cold bath. She’s a very strong woman. I hope that people will not misunderstand and abuse her because of a few photos.]After the post was uploaded, the effect was surprisingly good.Many people praised Wesley for being warm and attentive, and Catherine for being strong and brave.Some people even shipped them and told them to be lovers instead of friends. They said they were the most compatibl
That night, Shaun drank glass after glass of wine. Chase could not stop him.Shaun’s alcohol tolerance was high, but he drank a lot tonight and surprisingly got a little drunk.“I suddenly miss Sarah.”He looked at the night outside the window and whispered, “Out of all the women around me, she was the only one who was wholehearted to me. There was no deception and no betrayal. Why did she have to die?”Chase held his glass, a twinge of pain welling in his heart.What others saw was the noble and mysterious Young Master Hill, but he knew that Shaun had grown up without his parents’ love. Inside, he was an extremely insecure person. Even when he was in kindergarten, those who approached him had hidden agendas, causing him to become very suspicious.This time, Shaun was really hurt.As his friend, Chase suddenly regretted calling him to Melbourne. He did not expect that Shaun’s heart, which had always been frozen, would suddenly be moved.Chase accompanied him to drink until Shau
Catherine fetched a basin of hot water. She took off his coat, unbuttoned the collar of his shirt, and wiped his exquisitely handsome face with a towel.“Sarah…” The man suddenly grabbed her hand, and a low murmur escaped his thin lips.Catherine froze as if a bucket of cold water was dumped on her.Sarah?Who was that? Was it his ex-girlfriend?A woman’s heart was always sharper than anyone else’sCatherine pulled her hand away from his grip forcefully. The man’s hand grabbed the air, and he called out to Sarah again.She turned around and sat on the edge of the bed. Her eyes reddened, and her heart was pricked as if it was being stabbed. It hurt....The next morning.Shaun woke up with a hangover. His head hurt, and his stomach felt uncomfortable too.He looked at the surroundings and realized that it was his bedroom in the villa.Why did Chase send him back here? He really did not want to face Catherine now.However, he had drunk too much last night and was feeling ver
...Shaun sat in the backseat of his car. He had acted in a fit of anger earlier, but now he suddenly felt very hungry. His stomach started to hurt again.He lit a cigarette irritably. If he had known that this would happen, he would have finished eating the breakfast before getting angry.“Young Master Hill, let me buy you something to eat.” Hadley looked at him worriedly.“I’m not in the mood. Go bring Rebecca Jones to me,” Shaun said coldly, “I’ve always wanted Catherine to deal with her, but she’s too useless. I’ll do it myself.”Hadley nodded. It seemed like he would have to pray for Rebecca soon.Hudson Corporation.Rebecca was directly kicked out by the security guards.She was unwilling and yelled at the door, “Even if my dad was arrested, he’s still a shareholder of the company and I’m still his daughter! I have the right to inherit his shares and enjoy the dividends.”“Get lost!” The security guard spat at her unceremoniously. “Everyone already knows that your parent
“Be quiet.” Hadley smiled. “Who do you think Willie Hill is? Haven’t you figured out why Willie changed his attitude toward you so quickly?”Rebecca froze. She looked at Shaun and suddenly remembered that his last name was Hill as well. “That can’t be. I’ve never heard of someone called Shaun in the Hill family.”“How would you know how many people are in the Hill family?” Hadley mocked. “Let me tell you, my Young Master Hill is the biggest young master in the Hill family. He’s been in charge of the family since he was 20.”Rebecca’s brain buzzed as if she was dreaming. Everyone knew that the mysterious young master of the Hill family was Lea Hill’s son. This person was very low-key, but his ruthless methods were well known.He entered the company at the age of 20. When his second uncle disobeyed, he broke his second uncle’s leg in front of a crowd.After he took charge of Hill Corporation, he expanded his overseas territory with thunderous speed and even entered the fields of com
Hadley dodged back in disgust. “Don’t touch me, I hate dirty things. Don’t shun him so much. He just looks old, but he’s only 40 and has been single for decades since he couldn’t find a wife. You’ll follow him back to the countryside and give him a child.”Then, Hadley left, leaving Rebecca behind. She cried in despair, but no one paid her any mind.At that moment, she truly regretted it. She should not have forced Catherine Jones out of the household at that time. She should not have pushed Granny Jones down the stairs.However, there was no medicine for regret in this world....At the entrance of the police station.Catherine had just finished recording her confession when she suddenly heard someone call out her name.“Catherine.”She turned around to see Wesley coming toward her with a smile on his face. The weather was cold, and he had a plaid scarf wrapped around his neck. It gave him a gentlemanly air.“What a coincidence. Why are you here?” Catherine forced out a smile
