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
Melanie suddenly remembered that there had been a woman hiding in his mansion the other day. She had someone investigate it afterward but could not find anything out.“Oh, I suddenly remembered, I told him to pluck some for Queenie before this.” Old Madam Hill slapped her head. “I have such a bad memory.”“Oh, so that’s it.” Melanie looked a little better....At 7:30 p.m., the butler suddenly came over with a pile of expensive items after dinner.Old Master Hill said, “When you send Melanie back later, send these things to the Yule family as well. Melanie and you will get your marriage license tomorrow.”Melanie immediately blushed shyly and looked at Shaun expectantly, but he merely put down his cutlery and asked coldly, “When did I agree to get married?”“If you don’t get married now, how long are you planning to drag it out?”Old Master Hill rarely got angry, but this time, he raised his voice. “That’s right, you’ve brought back Liam safely, but now there are rumors in the
Melanie shuddered, but she gritted her teeth and powered on. “Eldest Young Master Hill, I won’t break up with you. It was you who took the initiative to go after me in the first place.”“Fine, let’s play a slow game.” Shaun let go of her and got into the car.Melanie watched his car leave with eyes full of horror and fear. Nicola and her only had a foothold in the Yule family now because she had the Hill family as her backing. Even Old Master Yule treated the mother and daughter politely. She must not lose Eldest Young Master Hill.It must be that vixen behind him who was instigating him. She had to find out who that vixen was and kill her....In the car, Shaun called Catherine. “What are you doing? I’m on my way home.”“I’m working overtime in the office.” Catherine was startled. He had said he was not coming back earlier.“Why are you working overtime when it’s already so late?” Shaun’s tone was displeased. “Wait there. I’ll pick you up.”“...”Catherine looked at her phone
The next morning.When Catherine got up, she habitually took out her phone to look at the trending news.The top trending search query today was [President Hill accompanied his young girlfriend to pick strawberries.]In the picture, Melanie was tilting her head to look at Shaun with her eyes crinkled in a smile. They looked very sweet. She was holding a strawberry that had fused together with another strawberry, and Shaun was looking at her with his handsome face. The light from the sunset fell on their faces, making them look like a pair of lovers exchanging their affections for each other.She suddenly remembered what he had said last night. “Doesn’t this strawberry look like us?”Heh, how ridiculous.He had taken the strawberry Melanie plucked and said such a thing to another woman. Did he not feel ashamed at all?Well, what was there to be ashamed of? He could even pick strawberries for his mistress with his girlfriend. His shamelessness was astonishing.“What are you looki
Shaun went on the net and found that many official accounts were already giving him a wife-loving persona. What was even more outrageous was that there were related people who broke the news that he was about to get married to Melanie next month. It was a complete mess.He angrily called the manager of the PR department. “The company’s new development plan wasn’t publicized well, but you sure are good at the tactics used by the entertainment circle to ship people. Remove the news immediately.”The manager felt wronged. “But your image has really changed a lot.”“Am I the president or are you the president?” Shaun asked coldly.“Alright, I’ll remove the news immediately.” The manager nodded his head dejectedly. Although the trending search was quickly suppressed and what should be deleted was deleted, the matter was already trending. Everyone in the country knew about it.Naturally, Catherine was no exception.Everyone knew that Melanie and Shaun were a couple now.Wesley sent
“...”Waves of discussion floated in the air, but Catherine did not bother to listen and simply looked at the big screen in front of her that said ‘Hill Foundation Charity Night’.This was a charity night held by the Hill family?Would Shaun be here?As she looked around, she felt like she was going to faint. Not only Shaun, but even Melanie, Old Madam Hill, Old Master Hill, Lea, Valerie, and other members of the Hill family were all present.Even Nicola and Joel were here.They were also surprised to see the two people.Catherine only felt her legs shake. Now, she could only see Shaun in her eyes. He was dressed in a black tailored suit. His dark and deep eyes were fixed on her with a coldness that only she understood.“Didn’t you say… there wouldn’t be anyone I know?” She looked at Liam with a little anger.“How would you have come if I hadn’t said so?” Liam smiled and winked at her. “Don’t you see that Nicola and Melanie are here as well? I purposely brought you here so you
Nicola could tell what her daughter was thinking and whispered in her ear, “If you want to win a man completely, you have to conquer his body.”“But he usually doesn’t let me touch him…”“Take the opportunity tonight when he gets drunk. I’ll tell the old madam to let you go to a room to take care of Eldest Young Master Hill.” Nicola wiggled her eyebrows.Realization dawned on Melanie. When she thought of becoming Shaun’s woman, her small face flushed with shyness, but she was looking forward to it. “Mom, Catherine wouldn’t really get together with Second Young Master Hill, right…?”“Who does she think she is? She’s not worthy. She’s just a vixen like her mother.” Nicola’s face was full of disdain. “Watch how I deal with her tonight.”After Shaun stepped down from the stage, famous singers took turns performing on stage.When the show was almost over, Liam bent down to Catherine’s ear and said, “I’ll go backstage to collect the money raised. I’ll come back later.”“Okay.”Cather
“Liam brought you here, but this is how he protects you?” Shaun sneered coldly. When he thought of how that damned pig’s lips would have pressed on her face if he was just one step slower, he was so angry he wanted to go crazy.Catherine’s long lashes trembled as she said weakly, “This is a dinner party held by Hill Corporation, so Director Irvine wouldn’t have pestered me for no reason. Someone instructed him to do so.”“Oh? Who would that be?” Shaun raised his brows, not speaking out what he already knew.Catherine bit her lip. She did not believe that he did not know who it was. He was simply turning a blind eye because the person was his fiancée.“I don’t know…” She turned her face away a second later.Shaun looked at her fixedly for a moment, sneered, and pulled her upstairs.No one noticed that not long after the two left, a tall and straight figure stepped out from the shadows.After entering the room, Shaun slammed the door shut with force. He undid his suit and tie and
