Shaun had just finished speaking when his phone rang.When he took it out to see, Catherine saw the word ‘Grandmother’ on the screen.Shaun went out with the phone. “Grandma, did something happen?”“Can’t I call you if nothing happened? What are you busy with all day long? You haven’t been back to the old residence for several days. Your mother is back, so you can sleep at the manor at night.”Shaun glanced at the bedroom door and refused. “I’m not free.”“You weren’t free for the company meeting, and you weren’t free when Melanie asked you out on a date. What the hell are you doing?” Old Madam Hill said angrily, “You must come back. The whole family will have a meal together.”Shaun sneered, “Is it really just a meal? Or do you want to force me to bring Liam back?”Old Madam Hill sighed. “Shaun, these years, it was because your grandfather and I kept applying pressure that we’ve kept your mother from managing the company’s affairs, letting you and Liam be in the company. Everyo
Soon, news about Liam rushed to the top of the popular search query.Various media-driven topics also appeared online.#LiamHillDisappearance [I heard that Liam Hill was forced to Country F by his own brother. Wars often break out in Country F now. It’s obvious what would happen if he was sent there at this time.]#LiamHillDisappearance [I heard that the conflict in Country F this morning involved bombs and there were many casualties. Second Young Master Hill might have been struck with misfortune.]#LiamHillDisappearance [Eldest Young Master Hill is too ruthless. Hill Corporation already belongs to him, but he won’t even spare his own younger brother.][Second Young Master Hill is a good person. He often helps our poor areas and donates money to build schools. Eldest Young Master Hill is too vicious.][The comment above is awesome. You actually dare to openly talk about Eldest Young Master Hill? Aren’t you afraid you’ll get into an accident later?][Hehe, it’s not like Eldest Y
A week later.Freya accompanied Catherine to a private hospital to get her stitches removed.Chester personally went to the parking lot to meet with the two people. This was the first time Catherine met him, and she had to say that Shaun’s friends all looked like supermodels.Chester wore a white coat and glasses. His figure was tall and he looked gentle. His handsome face was warm and harmless. The spring-like smile on his lips made him look easygoing and approachable, but his thin lips showed that he was a cool and indifferent man.Freya gasped. “Are all doctors these days this hot? He looks like a male model posing in front of a camera for a movie.”“You’re good at joking, Ms. Lynch.” Chester smiled. “Let’s go. I’ve arranged for a doctor to take you there.”“Sorry for the trouble. I can just go by myself.” Catherine felt embarrassed. After all, she was going to the gynecology department because of that kind of matter.Chester shook his head and smiled. “That won’t do. Shaun p
“Okay, call me if you need anything.”Chester turned to leave when Lea’s phone suddenly rang. “What… They’re back? Okay… Okay, we’ll go to the airport right away.”After hanging up the phone, Lea gave a rare smile to Melanie. “Liam and Shaun just arrived at the airport. Let’s go, we’ll drive and pick them up and then come back for the check-up next time.”“Yes, Aunty. I miss Shaun too.” Melanie glanced at Catherine smugly and swiftly left with Lea.Freya gave Catherine a nervous and sympathetic look but saw that her expression was full of calmness. “Let’s go, the elevator is here.”“It looks like I can accompany you again.” Chester followed them in and coughed softly into his fist. “Melanie Yule is just engrossed in her own wishful thinking. Shaun’s heart is with you. We’re basically brothers to him and understand him the most, so don’t overthink it.”“I’m not.” Catherine smiled at him. She was truly relieved. It seemed that Liam was fine.When she came out of the hospital, Frey
“Look at you. You used to be so bold, but you’ve been tortured by him so much you’ve become a little mouse.”Freya was dying of anger. “I’ll tell you the truth. When I asked you to help her with the lawsuit back then, all the words I said were lies. She had nothing to do with it. I did it because if she went to prison, I wouldn’t be able to meet her anymore. She doesn’t know anything at all.”Catherine rubbed her forehead and watched as Shaun’s expression darkened like ink. She stood in front of him. “Freya did it to save me. It has nothing to do with her, so don’t hurt her.”“...”Shaun saw how she was acting like a mother hen protecting her chick, and his heart became annoyed and depressed. Did she see him as a devil now?“Move aside, I’m hungry.”“Huh?”“Did you not hear me? I said I’m hungry.” Shaun grabbed her hand and sat on the bench.The table was full of spicy, grilled, and stir-fried dishes. He frowned. “Why isn’t there any food for me?”She knew that he could not ea
Catherine, “...”Booking out the entire cinema for a movie… As expected of a big shot, or perhaps he just did not want others to see him at the movies with her.Half an hour later, Shaun took her to the movie hall in Northern Sky Mall. The general manager of the cinema personally received them and took them to the VIP couple’s hall.Catherine picked an action movie because a male celebrity she liked was in it. She was supposed to watch it together with Freya.During the movie, Shaun placed her on his chest. Catherine’s back felt uncomfortable after a long time, but Shaun did not notice it. His phone rang twice and she noticed that the first call was from Melanie while the other was from Old Madam Hill.He muted the phone and threw it in his pocket. Bowing his head, he asked her, “You like these kinds of movies?”“I guess.” She actually liked the feeling of watching a movie with many people in the cinema.“I’ll accompany you often whenever I’m free.” Shaun’s fingers squeezed her
“Uncle, Aunty, I won’t bother you anymore. I’ll leave now.” Catherine did not want to stay. She left after greeting them.Lea asked bluntly, “Liam, do you like her?”Liam’s eyes flashed as he bowed his head. “A little, but she has a boyfriend.”Lea was stunned and dissatisfied. “She’s just the illegitimate daughter of the Yule family and isn’t worthy of you. Besides, I saw that she’s acquainted with Chester Jewell as well. You should know very well how flirtatious Chester is.”“Mom, Catherine isn’t that kind of person. Don’t just call her an illegitimate daughter. To put it bluntly, I was also an illegitimate child in the past,” Liam retorted in discontent.“You…” Lea’s chest heaved with anger.“Alright, stop arguing,” Mason said gently, “Didn’t you say Liam should find someone he likes to be his girlfriend so he doesn’t follow in your footsteps?”Lea sighed. “I’m just afraid he’ll be deceived. Shaun is going to marry Melanie. If you get together with the illegitimate daughter o
In the office, Catherine looked at the time. It was 6:00 p.m.She should get ready to go back.At that moment, Shaun suddenly sent her a message. [I won’t be back tonight. Go to sleep early.]It seemed like there was no need to rush back.She picked up the planner again but could not see a word at all.Was he going to accompany Melanie tonight? Was he going back to Hill Manor to discuss the wedding?He was about to get married. If he continued to be entangled with her like this after his marriage, Catherine would really look down on herself for the rest of her life.She had to be strong so she could break away from him soon....In Hill Manor.Shaun got out of the car and saw Melanie holding Old Madam Hill’s arm as they went for a walk in the garden.He frowned and subconsciously wanted to turn away, but Old Madam Hill had noticed him. “Shaun, you’re just in time. Melanie and I are going to the orchard to pick some strawberries, come with us.”“Grandma, I’m tired. I want to
