“Did I wake you?” Shaun tucked her under the covers. “Go to sleep, it’s late. Let’s talk about it tomorrow.”“How’s your grandmother?” Catherine sat straight up, revealing her silk nightgown.“She’s fine. She just passed out from anger and will be fine after a few days of rest.” Shaun stroked her long hair.Catherine lowered her long eyelashes and spoke in a weak voice, “Shaunny, let me go.”Shaunny...She had not called him that for a long time.When the two were in love in the past, she had always sweetly called him that.Shaun was lost in thought for a moment, and Catherine got up to kneel on the ground. She looked up at him with eyes overflowing with tears.“Let me go and let yourself go, okay? You saw what happened tonight. Your family won’t allow you to be with me. I really can’t stand this kind of life. So many people rushed in and pointed at me. Shaun, I’m also a human. I’m really tired!”She burst into tears as she spoke.Since her childhood, although she could not b
Hadley was unreconciled. “To be honest, Hill Corporation developed well in your mother’s hands eight years ago, but after you came to power, you went abroad many times and invited top talents, personally set up a laboratory, and expanded the scientific and technological field. It was you who established the Hill family as the number one family in the country, and you led Hill Corporation into the top ten global enterprises, but now, all of it is going to Liam?“What did Liam Hill do? When you were busy sleeping at 2:00 a.m. and waking at 4:00 a.m., he was abroad indulging himself. He got a high position as soon as he came back.”“Do I look like someone who would just give others what I worked hard for?” Shaun suddenly raised his brows.Hadley paused.“How did the investigation into last night’s incident go?” Shaun threw the napkin away and changed the subject.“The wine you drank was switched out with a glass of wine that helps to excite…” Hadley said. “Later, someone told Melanie
“I’ll do it myself.” Catherine was not used to him being like this and took the toothbrush before going to the bathroom.Looking at her wretched self in the mirror, she suddenly felt strange and fell into a trance.Now, she could not even control her own life or death.Was she going to give up on herself completely and live a degenerate life every day?No, she could not do that.Since she was not afraid of death anymore, what more was there to care about?As long as she was still breathing, she would fight against this man.When she came out again, Shaun looked at her and saw that she seemed to have changed. “I can accompany you to go shopping or go on vacation somewhere.”“I’m going to the office.” Catherine walked into the dressing room and looked for professional attire.“...”Shaun looked at the gaze on her face with an odd expression. “You’re going to the company like this?”“Why, will it scare others?” Catherine’s gaze was dark and calm, as though she was not talking a
“It’s been cleared, but word about it has basically spread through the company,” Kacey stammered, “Chairwoman Jones, don’t take other people’s gossip too seriously.”“It’s not gossip. It’s the truth.” Catherine looked straight at her.Kacey, “...”How was she supposed to ask a question like that?At that moment, the secretary suddenly rushed in and said, “Chairwoman Jones, bad news. Someone brought people to the company to cause trouble. When they entered the door, they started smashing items and said they wanted to see you.”“I’ll go down.” Catherine got up.The secretary was at a loss. “Chairwoman Jones, that’s not a good idea. I think they brought a camera. They must want to record it and post it online.”“It doesn’t matter.” Catherine went downstairs.Along the way, she received a call from Shaun. “Don’t go down. I’ve already notified Elle. She’ll bring someone over to deal with it.”“No need. I’ll handle it myself.”“Cathy, don’t be impulsive. Fergus Wicks is one of the
“Happy?”Just as he finished speaking, a bunch of police officers rushed in from outside. “We received a report that someone came to Hudson to cause trouble…”Fergus was just about to speak when Catherine immediately pushed Melanie aside. She walked up to the police with red eyes. “Officer, these people just entered the building and started vandalizing our property. They even threw a rotten egg at my face.”Melanie screamed, “No, she clearly tried to ruin my face with a knife! Hurry up and arrest her!”The police officer looked at Catherine whose face was full of wounds and smeared with rotten egg liquid and then at Melanie who was well-dressed and looked completely immaculate. He immediately became angry. “Who was it who tried to ruin the other person’s face? Do you think I’m blind?”“Mr. Officer, don’t raise your voice. She’s the precious daughter of the Yule family and that man is Fergus Wicks from the Wicks family. I heard that he knows a lot of hoodlums,” Catherine said nervo
“Haven’t you seen the news on your phone?” Chester walked over to her. “It’s today’s most sensational news. The whole net is talking about it.”Catherine was lost in thought for a moment. She knew that Chester would not lie to her, but she did not think that Shaun was dismissed because he wanted to marry her.“That’s very normal. His conduct was improper. He had a girlfriend but still forcefully snatched his girlfriend’s elder sister as well. He couldn’t even control the lower half of his body and screwed up the charity dinner held by the Hill family. After he’s done such despicable acts, of course, he’ll be removed from his position.”Chester froze.A moment later, instead of being angry because his friend was scolded, he laughed happily. “Your evaluation is spot-on. Shaun is indeed despicable and has a horrible character.”Catherine frowned, puzzled by his laughter. “Is that funny?”“It’s funny.” Chester curled his thin lips. “But some of what you said isn’t right. That night a
A pitiful smile crept up on Catherine’s face. “So that’s what you think of me. Dad, have you ever loved me and tried to understand me? To be frank, I’ve long since known Shaun. He’s the one who forced me to be with him. Recently, he’s been suppressing my company and Wesley. It’s all his doing. Do you think I enjoy living a life without dignity? Do you think I enjoy being pointed at and criticized as a b*stard?!”As she went on, she eventually choked with tears. Joel was dazed. “What? Why didn’t you tell me earlier?”“Would it make any difference if I told you?” Catherine gave him a mocking look. “You couldn’t even protect me in your own house, much less in front of Shaun.”An awkward expression crept up Joel’s face. All of a sudden, he seemed like he had grown a few years older.“I’m useless. I brought you to Canberra but left you to be bullied by others. I’m going to look for Shaun now. He has gone too far.”“You don’t have to look for me. I’m here.”The door of the private ro
“Uncle Joel, I hope you’ll approve of us.” Shaun slowly lifted Catherine up on her feet. “Only with your blessing can we get together legitimately. What’s more, she can return to the Yule household legitimately after I marry her. That way, no one will despise and look down on her anymore. Don’t you want to see that, Uncle Joel?”The last sentence resonated with Joel.…In the end, Catherine was somehow dragged into the car by Shaun.Looking at the handsome man beside her who was driving seriously, Catherine became confused. Did this mean that… the Hill family dismissed him from the position of president just because he wanted to marry her?“Stop staring at me like that.”Shaun stopped the car at a crossroad. Then, he turned around and kissed her on the lips. “Let’s go and choose your wedding ring.” “I’m not marrying you!” Catherine went mad. Considering his horrifying character, she refused to be tied to him forever. “Catherine, I’ve lost everything for you, yet you refuse to
