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
Catherine was taken aback. She had actually disliked Liam back then. However, both of them were in a similar situation now. “You shouldn’t be bothered about it, Second Young Master Hill. We didn’t get to choose our backgrounds. What’s more, your life is more blissful than mine. Your parents are married.”“Yeah. Even so, other people tend to compare me to my brother. I always live in his shadow.” Liam shrugged helplessly. “Come, I’ll bring you along to meet the commissioner.”“...Thank you, Second Young Master Hill.”Catherine trailed after him after hesitating for a moment. Given that there were over 10,000 employees in the company, she could not afford to give up on the chance.…Three days later.Shaun returned to Canberra after his meeting abroad ended. As soon as the plane landed at the airport, Hadley reported the company’s situation to him.Shaun quietly listened. After he got into the car, Hadley said, “The license for Hudson’s land has been settled.” Shaun took off the
“I…”At that very moment, Wesley’s phone rang. After he picked up the call, his expression changed drastically. “I’m coming right now.”“Cathy, I have some urgent business to attend to. I won’t be able to accompany you tonight.” With that, Wesley rose to his feet and left hurriedly.Catherine was stunned. Even though she had known him for some time, this was her first time seeing him in such an anxious state.After she got back to the hotel, she learned through the television that something had gone wrong with the drugs produced by Golden Corporation. At present, Wesley was being detained. The news astounded her. She quickly brought a lawyer to the detention center. Nevertheless, the lawyer failed to bail Wesley out.This scene was rather familiar. It reminded Catherine of when she was arrested in Melbourne.The only difference was that the person was Wesley this time.The lawyer said, “Miss Jones, President Lyons must have offended someone. He could’ve been bailed out for suc
