Catherine kept quiet.Deep down, she thought that since Nicola could easily get Fergus to kill her, then her mother could have encountered the same situation back then. It was not until today that Joel became aware of the vicious streak in Nicola. He probably had never suspected Nicola of having something to do with her mother’s death.“Don’t worry, Cathy. I’m dead set on divorcing her this time.” After speaking to Catherine seriously, Joel went home and began dealing with the matters regarding his divorce.Wesley said, “Your dad won’t be able to divorce her.”“Yeah.” Catherine felt the same. “Nevermind the fact that the Yule family and the Wicks family have worked together for years, Melanie is Elder Young Master Hill’s girlfriend. The Hill family won’t accept a lady from a broken family. Just because of this alone, my grandparents and everyone else in the Yule family will surely disapprove of their divorce.”A look of pity crossed Wesley’s face. “So this time…” “It’s impossi
“You haven't been home for a few days already. It seems difficult to see you now,” Old Madam Hill taunted Shaun. “Melanie comes to accompany you every day, doesn't she?” Shaun teased Old Madam Hill and sat beside her. She was dressed in a dark blue vest and blouse. Her deep-set eyes were always sharp enough to observe everything.“It’s good that you know it. She doesn’t come here with the sole intention of accompanying me. She wants to see you,” Old Madam Hill said with annoyance, “She’s quite pitiful. Her family has been peaceful all this while, but Joel now insists on getting a divorce after his illegitimate daughter came back. Is he senile? How could he divorce his wife just like that?”Shaun touched his chin. “Tsk, it looks like Melanie has played a trick on you by persuading you into taking her side.”“Does she need to persuade me? I’ve seen a lot of dirty tricks used by wealthy families.” Old Madam Hill sighed. “Just like your dad and mom’s divorce, I strongly disapproved of
What did this mean? It meant that Shaun was ready to disclose his relationship with Melanie to the public.Melanie would soon get married to Shaun. In that respect, the Wicks family would attain a much higher rank.“Hey, Melanie. Why didn’t you inform me that Elder Young Master Hill is back?” Old Master Yule quickly went to Melanie in a euphoric manner.Shaun and Melanie were mobbed and sought after by all the guests present. The guests also tried to butter them up. “Elder Young Master Hill, you and Melanie are indeed a perfect match for each other.”“Elder Young Master Hill, it’s my honor to be able to meet you.”“Madam Yule, you’re truly blessed to have such a lovely daughter.”“...”In contrast, none of the guests went to talk to Catherine. A look of astonishment washed over Wesley’s face. “Cathy, he’s…”“Yeah.” Catherine knew what he was thinking. She nodded and frowned deeply.Little did she expect that Shaun would accompany Melanie to attend her grandfather’s birthday
Joel immediately said, “He’s Catherine’s fiancé from Golden Corporation…”“Never heard of it.” Shaun looked away, and his cold gaze rested on the coffee cup in front of him. “Any Tom, Dick, or Harry is allowed to sit on the Yule family’s seat of honor, huh?”With that, Wesley’s elegant and handsome face turned pale. His bright eyes flashed with an undertone of grimness. Catherine felt as if she was slapped in the face. She was left in a state of embarrassment.Melanie chuckled in spite of herself. “Exactly. Just look at who Elder Young Master Hill is. Not everyone can sit with him.”Old Madam Yule felt embarrassed. After all, she was the one who had asked him to sit over here.“I’ll go to another table.” Wesley patted Catherine on the back of her hand. Then, he turned around and headed to another table.“Wait up. I’m coming with you. After all… I don’t qualify to sit with Elder Young Master Hill either.” Catherine went after Wesley. The two of them ultimately sat at another tab
Catherine lost her temper. How f*cking shameless Shaun was to look for her!She deleted the message straight away. A moment later, however, Shaun sent her a video of her dancing in a bunny costume. Catherine gnashed her teeth. She turned around and said to Wesley, “I just remember that I need to meet my grandma to deal with something. You don’t have to send me home.”“...Alright. Call me once you’re back.” After reminding her, Wesley watched her leave. His handsome face suddenly turned grim.…Ten minutes later, Catherine found Shaun’s black sports car at the roadside. When she got into the car, she glanced around like a thief.“Why? Are you worried that Wesley will spot us?”Shaun held a cigarette between his fingers while his hand was placed on the steering wheel. Amid the smoke, his handsome brows expressed a sense of sarcasm.At this moment, Catherine hated him to the core. Her face looked pale as well. “Elder Young Master Hill, don’t you remember entering the venue with y
Dumbfounded, Shaun turned around and stared at Catherine. Her behavior made his blood boil again. “Catherine, can’t you understand human language?”“I understand. You mean to say that you can’t possibly break up with Melanie, right?” A bitter smile flitted across Catherine’s face. If that was the case, she should not get together with him either.Shaun was at a loss for words.This woman was usually quite intelligent. What had happened to her brain now?He could not be bothered about her. He immediately hit the accelerator and sped the entire way.“What are you doing? Let me get out.” No matter how Catherine screamed, Shaun continued to ignore her.The car traveled straight to Oasis International. Shaun dragged her upstairs and pushed her toward the couch. Boiling with rage, he said, “Catherine, you want me to make things clearer, right? I want you to break up with Wesley right away. You’re allowed to be pregnant with my child. If you’re pregnant, I’ll break up with Melanie.”Ca
Nicola showed an arrogant expression. “You thought you could make Joel divorce me because of that little accident? Dream on.”Catherine took out her phone to call Joel. The call was connected, but nobody answered it.“Stop calling. Old Master Yule is keeping him occupied at the moment,” Nicola mocked, “Can’t you see? Old Master Yule approves the idea of kicking you out as well, so there’s nothing Joel can do about it.”“Did you hear it? Hurry up and get lost, then.” Melanie even kicked her clothes that had dropped on the ground.Stifling her anger, Catherine lowered her head and stuffed her clothes into her suitcase one by one.Only she knew how furious she was deep down.She would pay them back for humiliating her sooner or later.However, before Catherine could keep all her clothes, Melanie took some dirty water and splashed it on her straight away. Her clothes were completely drenched.“Oops, sorry. I was just planning to dump the dirty water away.”When Melanie was gloatin
Catherine pursed her thin lips. She recalled the way Shaun had spoken when she left yesterday. Was it his doing?General Manager Wolfe said, “We’ve spent 50 billion dollars on this plot of land. If we don’t get our project started as soon as possible, our capital chain will break and our company will be left high and dry. If that’s the case, you and the other directors might run the risk of going to jail.”“I’ll find a way out,” Catherine hesitated before she replied.After the meeting ended, she went to the office to call Shaun only to discover that he had blocked her number.She gave a bitter laugh. Apparently, she had offended him.She had no choice but to ask Joel for help. After Joel enquired about the matter, he found it strange. “Cathy, who did you offend? Even I failed to help you this time. I’m sure this isn’t the Wicks family’s doing.”“I have no idea who I’ve offended either. Let me try and recall.”Catherine ended the call in a daze. She did not intend to ask Joel to
