...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
Soon, an ambulance arrived and swiftly took Wesley to the hospital. However, he had already lost a lot of blood along the way and fell unconscious.Catherine quickly made a call to Ethan, who rushed over shortly after she arrived at the hospital.The door to the ER was pushed open, and the doctor came out with a clipboard. “The knife was stabbed into the patient’s left kidney and it has to be removed immediately to save his life. Who’s the patient’s family? Please sign immediately.”Catherine was stunned. Ethan also found it hard to accept. “Doctor, must it be removed?”“Necrosis has already set in the left kidney, so it’s useless now,” the doctor said helplessly, “If we could save it, we definitely would’ve.”Ethan had no choice but to bear the pain and sign the papers.Catherine shed painful tears. “It’s all my fault. That person wanted to kill me. It was your uncle who used his body to help me block the knife.”Ethan had mixed feelings. He did not expect Wesley to have such d
Ethan’s heart hurt. If he had not made the wrong choice in the first place, she would not have been fooled by Shaun....10:00 p.m.Shaun came in from outside with a cold and handsome face. He went upstairs for less than two minutes before quickly coming downstairs again. “Catherine hasn’t come back yet?”“No.” Aunty Linda was slightly afraid of his expression.“Why isn’t she back yet?”“I don’t know. She isn’t picking up the phone either.” When Aunty Linda finished speaking, the temperature in the villa seemed to drop to freezing point, making her shudder.Shaun smiled coldly. Good, even after cheating on him with Wesley, she still did not know how to behave. It was already ten yet she was not home yet. She did not even call home. That woman just never changed.“Young Master Hill…” At that moment, Hadley rushed in from outside. “I just got the news. Hugh Jewell made a move on Miss Jones outside the police station today, but Wesley Lyons blocked two stabs for her. She’s safe, b
Shaun clenched his fists. The veins on the back of his hand bulged out. “Catherine Jones, get this straight. I’m a lawyer. Lawyers only win or lose. I’m not some messenger of justice.”“But a person can’t live without a conscience.” Catherine shook her head. She suddenly realized that she and Shaun seemed to be from completely different worlds.“I’ve done so many things for you, yet you say I have no conscience?”Shaun glared at her angrily. He had never treated a woman so well before, but she vetoed everything in one sentence. “Is it because Wesley gave his life to save you, so you want to be together with him? That’s right, he has always been trailing after you.”“Stop talking nonsense.” Catherine became angry. “He lost a kidney because of me. Can’t I even stay and take care of him? This is the least I can do for him after he saved my life.”“I don’t care. Come with me right away. Wesley Lyons isn’t as simple as you think he is.” Shaun did not care at all. Wesley was the one who
“Catherine Jones, if you really love me, don’t go to Wesley Lyons ever again. This is the last chance I’m giving you.”Shaun looked at her deeply, his voice sounding dark and hoarse.Catherine was stunned. Although she hated him today and was angry at him, her heart still loved him. “What about you? Do you love me?”If he did, why did he call out another woman’s name when he was drunk?“I can love you, and I can stop loving you at any time.”Shaun said expressionlessly before turning to leave.Catherine sat on the bed, a little bewildered. It turned out that his love could be taken back at any time. Was it because he did not love her enough?...In the study, Shaun stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling window with a glass of red wine, looking out the window at the snow on the ground.He hoped that Catherine would not let him down.Yes, although he loved her, if she wanted to continue getting involved with Wesley Lyons, then he could only give up that love.Although Wesley h
Catherine could not believe it. Shaun had never checked her phone before, but he refused to give her this last bit of privacy now. “Shaun Hill, don’t go too far.”“Too far? How would I know if you’d contact Ethan Lowe or Wesley Lyons behind my back?” Shaun never liked men who insisted on checking their woman’s phone, but when he saw the smile on Catherine’s lips earlier, his heart suddenly felt uncomfortable. He had to be sure.Catherine never thought that the trust between them had fallen so low. However, he might misunderstand again if he saw the contents on her phone, so she simply said frankly, “I was chatting with Freya. She was talking about her boyfriend. Also… she’ll go to the hospital to see Wesley. I can’t go myself, but can’t my friends go on my behalf…?”She watched helplessly as Shaun’s handsome face turned cold at a speed visible to the naked eye. Her heart suddenly felt tired.“Catherine Jones, are you that hung up on Wesley Lyons? It’s my bed you’re sleeping on now.
