“Didn’t we just meet yesterday morning? We can see each other again after I return at night.” Catherine was not in the mood to deal with Shaun. “Go back and look after the kids.”Shaun said, “You can meet up with Eliza tomorrow too. Besides, you two have been meeting pretty often, right?”“No. We have something important going on.” Catherine hoped that nighttime would come immediately. The call ended with a beep. Shaun’s heart was twitching from jealousy. Eliza could not get a boyfriend, so she kept inviting his wife out. Ah, if he had any suitable guy friends, he had to introduce them to Eliza. Upon thinking of that, Shaun gave Ryan a call. “That friend of yours… Is Max having any progress with Eliza?”“Is your wife ignoring you tonight as well?” Ryan, who Freya had just rejected, was sulky. Shaun was stunned. He understood immediately. “Freya isn’t accompanying you tonight either?”“...”Shaun laughed. He strangely felt more at ease. At least he was not the only lonely
Seeing Catherine’s and Freya’s excited expressions, Charity simply took a sip of coffee. “Freya, in my past life’s memories, your boyfriend was still a sc*mbag. You married Rodney and divorced him. As for Cathy, you were still with Shaun. You two divorced because of Sarah’s interference too. The bad things that happened were still equally miserable.”Freya was disappointed. “Ah, is that so? Were our past lives the same as this life?”Catherine gave Charity a sidelong glance. “Eliza, are you lying to us? Is this talk about your previous life fake?”“I’m not lying to you guys. You’re the ones who are thinking about it the wrong way.”Charity laughed bitterly and put down her cup. She had a serious expression. “Actually… I’m Charity. I’m Charity Neeson.”“...”The private room was utterly silent for a while. Freya suddenly shuddered. “I feel so cold all of a sudden. Is the air conditioner on?”She trembled and scooted toward Catherine’s side. Although Charity was her friend, th
Freya and Catherine were both embarrassed.At that time, the two of them could not fend for themselves.Even if Charity had shown up, they would not have been able to help her. Charity said, “So all I could do was bear with it. I waited and took revenge using my own means.”Catherine sighed softly. “The means that you had taken revenge against Sarah and kidnapped her with the intention of torturing her to death.”Charity dropped her eyes. “As Sarah killed people using hypnosis, I had difficulty searching for evidence. Moreover, Rodney and Shaun kept speaking up for her at that time, so I had no other alternatives. I didn’t mind dying with her. If Freya hadn’t stopped me then, I wouldn’t be here telling you the truth.”“I see.” Freya saw the light. “When I found you that day, I was astounded by your gaze. It was so full of hatred for Sarah. You claimed to be Charity’s childhood friend, but we were also her friends. Honestly… we wouldn’t have been able to go as far as you. It turn
Catherine could totally relate to that.Some men were indeed scummy.“So… Charity, are you planning to take revenge for Eliza?” Catherine asked.Charity nodded. “I plan to stand up for Eliza.”“No wonder you suddenly showed up at the charity event organized by the Patterson family in the hotel a few days ago.” Freya’s interest was piqued. “Could you be planning to beat them at their own game?”“What do you think?” In fact, Charity could not make up her mind.However, Freya rolled her eyes at Catherine. “Cathy is very experienced in this aspect. Back then, she used such a method to take revenge on Shaun with the hopes of making him fall deeply in love with her. After that, she tried to destroy Shaun and Sarah’s relationship. In the end, she hurt herself, whereas Shaun slipped away and married Sarah. Hah.”Embarrassed, Catherine could not bear to recall it. “My case was different as I had feelings for Shaun. When I wanted to take revenge on him, I could not endure it. But it’s dif
“No wonder Ferra Film Group has been so powerful lately.” Freya suddenly felt discouraged. “I thought Freycatheli has been doing well, but compared to you both, it turns out I’m doing the worst.” “Why do you think so?” Charity laughed and then teased, “Perhaps you’ll be the prime minister’s wife in the future.”“Exactly.” Catherine agreed. “You found someone with great potential, and you should treasure him.”“Forget it. I’m not interested in being the prime minister’s wife. It’s too exhausting. I’d much prefer eating and having fun with my buddies.”After that, Freya slammed her hands on the table. “Shouldn’t we drink to celebrate the rebirth of our best friend?”“We can drink, but don’t you get drunk and expose my identity,” Charity reminded.“I got it.” Freya quickly zipped her mouth. “This matter will stay among the three of us…”“Actually, someone else knows about it…”“Who?” Freya and Catherine asked simultaneously.“Max.” With that, an affectionate look suddenly appear
“Alright. Let’s eat.” Charity changed the topic. “I heard the dishes here are good.”“Fine. If we continue the conversation, Charity will be embarrassed,” Catherine mocked.“Charity, you’re an actor, yet you get embarrassed so easily.”The three of them chatted and joked. It had been a long time since they had such a good time.In fact, Charity’s death had always hit a nerve in Catherine and Freya. Every time they recalled those memories, they would feel very helpless.“To celebrate the fact that Charity is still alive, let’s go for karaoke later.” Freya said while beaming, “It’ll be my treat.”“Please don’t. Both of you need to go home and spend time with your children.” Charity did not want to be a thorn in Shaun’s and Ryan’s sides.“Charity, we want to keep you company.” Catherine said while holding a wine glass, “You’ve been lonely for a long time.”That simple sentence made the usually tough Charity almost tear up.…After they finished their meals, they walked out of th
“Lizzie, these two are your…” Monte’s eyes settled on Catherine and Freya with a confused look on his face. He was pretending that it was his first time meeting them.“These are my friends, Catherine and Freya.” Charity pretended as if she did not see through him and made a simple introduction.Before Monte could speak, the few wealthy young men behind him walked forward.“So you’re Miss Jones and Miss Lynch. Both your reputations precede you.” Hugo said with a particularly enthusiastic smile, “I’ve heard about how beautiful both you ladies are, but now that I’ve finally met you in person, you’re much more beautiful than I imagined. By the way, I have yet to introduce myself. I’m Hugo Jeffs from Dolly Corporation in Newcastle.”“Dolly Corporation?” Catherine thought about it and was a little surprised. “Are you the Young Master Jeffs who owns the most luxurious hotel, Doyle Hotel, in Newcastle?”“That’s right.” Hugo nodded pridefully. “I didn’t expect you to have heard about me, M
Charity’s eyes moved slightly. “Since you can’t get over me, why weren’t you worried when I committed suicide? You even came to tell me that I was too desperate and that I was no different from other women. You told me to stay far away from you if I wanted to kill myself and not to bother you because you wouldn’t go soft-hearted.”Monte was so ashamed that he wished he could slap his old self. “Lizzie, I thought you were pretending to kill yourself at that time. I’m sorry. I made those nasty remarks so that you would give up on me because getting my family to approve of us being together was too difficult. Furthermore… you’re so wonderful that I didn’t think I deserved you.”“Why do you think you deserve me now?” Charity asked in surprise.Monte promptly held her hand and said fondly, “Lizzie, I can’t get over you, and that is the truth. Do you remember how happy we were when we were together?”“Young Master Patterson, I heard you have a fiancée. I don’t think it’s appropriate for
