Shaun was taken aback. He let go of Catherine and took two steps back. His hands were trembling, and it did not seem like it was about to stop.Catherine looked back and looked at him in fear. “Shaun, you might not be aware of it, but I always have to be cautious when I’m with you. You’re pompous, intimidating, and unreasonable. I’m constantly worried that I’ll hit a nerve in you. To me, you’re a devil. Have you seen anyone falling for a devil?!”“Enough. Stop it!”With bloodshot eyes, Shaun swept all the breakfast on the table to the floor. He did not intend to hurt her, but why did she have to provoke him this way?As a human, his heart would ache too.When he was about to lose control of himself, he opened the door violently and left.He hurriedly tottered into the car and took the medicine from the bottle right away. Nevertheless, that was not enough for him. Fearing that he would hurt others, he forcefully took out a blade and cut his arm.The pain woke him up.…In the
As soon as the bandage was done, the door was violently kicked open.Rodney dashed in. When he caught sight of Shaun’s injuries on his hand, he then said in a huff, “Are you okay, Shaun? To end up in this state all for the sake of a woman?” “This is my private affair,” Shaun said indifferently.“I treat you as my brother,” Rodney said out of annoyance. “Look what Liam has done. He was the one who added fuel to the fire on the Internet and triggered everyone in Australia to criticize you. Even those influential families who used to hold you in awe and respect are shunning you as if you’re a plague. Are you really fine with everyone favoring Liam now?”Chester laughed. “Rodney, you’re overreacting. Does Shaun seem like the sort who’s easily defeated?”“But…”“It’s not easy for Liam to take over Hill Corporation.” Chester shifted his eyes to Shaun.Shaun smiled. “You know me best.”Rodney became glum. “Fine. I’m a busybody. You even punched me on the yacht the other day.”“Serve
“It’s pretty good. Charlie is a dignified person anyway.” Nicola looked at the dazed Melanie. “Just give up on Shaun. He humiliated you in front of everyone, but did he regret it after?”Melanie suddenly came back to her senses.Indeed, Shaun had been tricking her. He even left her to suffer in the police station.She loved him so much, yet she ended up as a laughing stock!Ah!!She would definitely make him regret and beg for mercy!She would also put Catherine through hell!Once Melanie came out of the police station, a group of reporters was already waiting outside to interview her.At that point, she looked like she was another person. Tears were trickling down her pale face.The reporters ran to her and asked, “Miss Jones, rumor has it that you caught Eldest Young Master and the other woman sleeping together on the night of the Hill Corporation’s charity gala. Is this true?”“Drop it.” A pitiful smile crossed Melanie’s face. “I don’t want to talk about what the Eldest Yo
Catherine flew into a rage. “Are you my friend or Shaun’s friend?”“Hehe. I think that the fact that the man doesn’t mind losing his company, status, and reputation for you shows that he’s truly in love with you. I thought this kind of man didn’t exist anymore.”Catherine was speechless.A wave of emotions overcame Catherine’s relaxed mind.“Frankly speaking, I don’t think Patrick loves me at all if I compare him to Shaun now…”“I have to work. Bye for now.” Catherine was extremely annoyed by Freya’s words.Catherine returned to New Metropolis Park after working overtime until 8:00 p.m. However, Shaun was not back yet. After taking a shower, she lay on the bed and checked her phone. She subconsciously clicked open the trending searches regarding Shaun.This time, a video had been released.The scene looked familiar. It was the night she was dragged to Rodney’s yacht.In the video, Shaun was seen carrying her when Young Master Kelly asked, “Eldest Young Master, how have we pr
This was the first time recently that Catherine was calling Shaun of her own accord.After a long time, the call finally connected. However, it was Rodney’s angry voice that sounded. “Catherine, you’re such a troublemaker. You left Shaun in dire straits.”“Where’s he?” Catherine’s heart sank.“The top nine influential families are looking into the matter. Shaun has been arrested for investigation,” Rodney said in a huff. “If it hadn't been for you, Shaun wouldn’t have ended in this state!”“Who are you to criticize me? If you hadn’t kidnapped me that night, that video wouldn’t have existed!” Catherine refuted in a fit of fury. “The yacht belongs to you, so now that the video has been released, you bear as much of the responsibility too!”Rodney was so angry that he was momentarily lost for words. “Those influential figures want to leave Shaun high and dry. Things are not as simple as it seems.”Catherine hung up straight away and wanted to call Hadley to find out about the situat
“Exactly. There’s no point being ashamed now,” Queenie said as her mouth twitched. “Shaun is in deep trouble this time because of you.”“He’s usually quite cool-headed, so why did he end up like this?” Spencer said thoughtfully. “Dad and Mom have put so much effort in him.”Old Master Hill slapped the table. “You can’t stay in Australia anymore. I’m giving you two options now. I’ll give you a flight ticket to leave Melbourne and never return. I’ll have your Australian citizenship revoked. Another option is that you stay here, but I’ll put you through hell.”Catherine suddenly lifted her head and was dazed for a moment.Leaving Australia and losing her Australian citizenship?She did think of running away from Shaun when he tortured her before. However, now that she had found out that Shaun offended all the noble families in Canberra for her sake, she did not think she could leave with a clear conscience.“I want to know what will happen to Shaun.” After a while, her hands curled
Everyone looked at Catherine differently. After a while, Old Madam Hill said, “I didn’t expect this little girl to be so stubborn.”Queenie pouted. “Don’t let her deceive you, Granny. If you don’t believe me, try starving her for a few days without offering her water or rice. I’m sure she’ll beg for mercy.”“Shut up. She’ll die if she doesn’t eat or drink for several days,” Liam roared with rage. “Why are you shouting at me? She’s not even into you,” Valerie replied in a fit of fury.“Alright. Just make sure she’s not dead.” Old Madam Hill said, “Shaun nearly went mad when Sarah died back then. If anything happens to Catherine, I’m worried that he’ll go insane.”Everyone kept quiet.After everyone was dismissed, Valerie gave Nicola a call once she returned to her room.Nicola was overjoyed upon learning the news. She quickly said, “As long as you help me torture Catherine to death in the cellar, I’ll offer you 500 million dollars to help your company achieve its goal.”Valerie
“Really? I don’t think I’ll go insane.” Catherine smiled faintly. “I’ve stayed in places that are much nastier than this. This place isn’t too bad. The food and drinks aren’t sour, and there’s a blanket here.”Liam was dumbfounded. “What do you mean? You’ve eaten food and drinks that have soured?”What kind of life had she been through?Looking at the calm woman in front of him, Liam suddenly realized that he could not see through her.“There’s no point asking questions like this, Second Young Master.” A look of mockery washed over Catherine’s face. “After all, I’m here all because of you.”Liam froze. “Even if I didn’t do it, your relationship with Shaun would be exposed eventually.”“So am I supposed to be grateful to you?” Catherine scoffed, “Thank you for switching out Shaun’s drink. Thank you for taking advantage of Melanie by bringing her into the Hill family. Then, you managed to expose the matter to everyone in the Hill family and destroy Shaun’s reputation. You even caus
Behind the banana tree, Charity drew the leaves and walked out.She wore a discreet smile. “I didn’t expect Young Master Jewell to be so well-liked by girls. Girls these days are really bold and proactive. I’m old.”Looking at Charity’s pretty face, Chester could not help but smirk. “If you’re considered old, I’m even older.”“For men, the older, the more charming,” Charity said.“Really?” Chester suddenly grabbed hold of her hand and pulled it. “Do you think I’m charming?”Charity made a point to size him up. A moment later, a look of disdain washed over her face. “Not in the slightest.”Chester was exasperated. “Even if I’m not, I won’t allow you to escape my clutches.”As soon as he finished speaking, he leaned forward domineeringly and locked lips with Charity.Ever since she quit the entertainment industry, she hardly wore lipstick. He was not sure of the brand of the lipstick she applied today, but it was soft and smelled good.“Go away. You may kiss your girl…”Charity
A grand wedding was held at the seaside.The two couples exchanged vows, kissed, and promised to be lifelong companions. It was the happiest moment of their lives.When Charity brought the ring to Catherine, Catherine asked in a low voice, “Do you want me to toss the bouquet to you?” “No.”Charity rejected outright.However, Catherine did not force her. After all, she could tell that Charity was not as eager as Freya to have a wedding.Frankly, Catherine found it tiring to prepare for the wedding.“Alright. Although you don’t want it, it doesn’t mean he feels the same.” Catherine darted a playful glance at Chester.He was outstandingly handsome among the groomsmen.Some attendees of the wedding were under the impression that Chester and Charity were a couple, while some others were unsure. There were even a few pretty foreign girls who took the initiative to flirt with Chester, whereas some girls took out their phones to take photos of him. Charity took a glimpse of Chester
Charity was speechless.It was true that Chester could not do it with her.Was that why her good friends could look so calm even after hearing that she had spent a night with Chester?“What gives? Could he have done it with you?” As soon as Freya noticed that Charity was quiet, she asked with interest and curiosity.“You’re overthinking it.”Catherine said with a discreet smile, “Even if there’s something wrong with that part of his, he could’ve done it if he wanted to.”“Wow. Sure enough, you know everything, Cathy.” Freya chuckled. “Charity, you can get Cathy to teach you one day.”However, Catherine still felt a little embarrassed, and her face flushed red. “Shaun used to have a mental block in that aspect too, but he would still make me happy. If Shaun knows that, I believe Chester knows better.” After all, no one could beat Chester when it came to his experience with women.Charity was silent for a while before she said, “It doesn’t matter to me. I’ll let nature take its
“You haven’t answered my question.” Charity asked in annoyance, “Why were you in a hurry to get away from me?” A miserable look washed over Chester’s face. “If I hadn’t done that, I’m afraid I wouldn’t have been able to get hold of myself.”Charity looked down at the lower part of Chester’s body. “Is it because… you can’t control it anymore?”Her directness caused Chester’s face to turn grim. “Charity, do you mean that I have no sexual urges? There were homosexual eunuchs in the past. Although that part of mine can’t function, I can still feel the necessary sensations. When I see your sexy side, I still have the urge to hug and kiss you.”Once Charity understood the situation, she felt slightly more relaxed.After all, she was a woman and was under the impression that she had lost her charm in front of Chester.“Charity, next time, can I…” Chester suddenly bit his tongue and stared at her. “Kiss you?”Charity’s pretty face instantly heated up.When had she stopped him from kis
Charity never knew that the three of them could sleep so soundly. When she sent Cal to sleep sometimes, he would always wake her up several times in the night. Moreover, she would worry that he would kick off his blanket, so she would hardly sleep well.However, with Chester around, she subconsciously felt more relaxed as she did not need to care about everything on her own.Just as the dawn broke the next day, she was woken up by a kiss. “Charity, it’s about time to wake up. You’re going to be a bridesmaid today. You need to wake up early.”While waking her up, Chester kissed her for his own advantage.Charity opened her eyes in a daze. She still felt so sleepy that she did not want to move.“Are you planning to lie in?”As it was rare to see Charity so lazy, Chester secretly laughed. “Let me help you get changed.”By the time he staggered to her wardrobe and took out the bridesmaid’s outfit, Charity had woken up with a startle. “Why are you moving around? You should lie do
Charity was in the bathtub until she felt sleepy. Just as she was about to fall asleep, she heard Chester’s deep, gentle voice. “Charity, wake up…”She opened her eyes to see Chester’s face close up. Charity was exhausted. She woke up groggily, and her brain felt like it was not working. She rubbed her eyes. “How did I fall asleep?”Her hand felt slightly wet, and only then did she realize she was lying in the bathtub naked. Her body’s curves were vaguely visible under the red rose petals. Meanwhile, Chester was standing beside the bathtub with a fresh towel in his hand. That scene suddenly hit Charity like lightning, and the grogginess she was feeling immediately disappeared.She wanted to hide, but there was nowhere to hide in the bathtub. Her face blushed in an instant. “Who allowed you to enter without knocking? Get out.”“I called you, but you didn’t hear me.”Chester lied without flinching. “I came in because I was worried something happened to you. You’ve been in
“I should be the one asking you why you’re in my room,” Chester asked Charity as he raised his beautiful brows and smiled like a sly fox.“...”Charity glared at him. After exchanging glances with him for a few seconds, she carried her son and walked away.When she held the door handle, she felt a force grabbing her from behind.Chester stopped in his tracks and wrapped his hands around her slim waist. “Are you afraid that I’ll eat you up?”“You think you can do that, huh?” Charity turned around and glimpsed at the lower part of his body. “Can you do it now?”Chester’s handsome face stiffened, and a look of dejection washed over it.All of a sudden, Charity felt that she had gone too far by adding insult to injury.For a man, that was his greatest pride.“Since you know I can’t do that, what are you afraid of?” Chester gripped her waist. “Charity, stay here. All other rooms are occupied. If you don’t stay here, you have nowhere else to go.”Charity stomped on his foot. “Did y
“Suspect that the child is yours?” Shaun continued all of a sudden.Chester nodded.The more the child resembled him, the more afraid Chester was.He would rather the child bore a greater resemblance to Charity.Shaun glanced at Chester, who looked uneasy, and could not help but laugh. “As I said, onlookers see most of the game, and that saying is very true. Even Chase could tell that the child is yours at first glance. Do you think a clever person like Charity hasn’t noticed it?”Chester was momentarily stunned, and a thought flashed across his mind. He was a little perplexed, but he dared not give it a thought. “Do you mean…”“Perhaps she has found out about it long ago, but she just hasn’t exposed it.” Shaun said indifferently, “I even suspect my wife knows. Considering how smart she is, how could she not have guessed that Charity had used your sperm to get pregnant?”Chester revealed a strange expression, but he was holding on to some hope. “Maybe she didn’t guess it. They m
Catherine, Freya, and Charity were sitting together and chatting. When Chase went over, Catherine immediately asked protectively, “What’s wrong?” “Your husband is bullying me.” Chase hid behind Catherine and glanced at Shaun, who was walking over with a dark expression. “Move your paw off my wife,” Shaun warned with gritted teeth. If it were not for Catherine’s presence, he would have thrown Chase off the plane. “What are you doing?”Catherine glared at her husband. “Chase and I are friends. We’re besties. What’s with your attitude?”“That’s right.” Chase straightened his back with Catherine’s support. “I simply said you got lucky to be able to be a dad despite being so sc*mmy at first. Cathy even brought a set of twins back to you. I’m so much better than you guys, yet I still don’t have a girlfriend. Did I say something wrong? How unfair is this?”“Is he angry because of that?” Freya asked sarcastically. Chase nodded repeatedly. “Was I wrong?” Catherine threw the bag o
