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
