Both Director Irvine and President Thompson felt their knees buckle upon remembering that both of them had humiliated Shaun earlier. There was no point for them to cry over spilled milk now.“Eldest… Eldest Young Master Hill, I was wrong for not seeing straight. Why don’t you break my arm?” Director Irvine was on the verge of crying now. “Or perhaps you’d like to slap me across the face?”Shaun reached out to pinch the man’s greasy cheek. “You sounded quite arrogant earlier, huh? Did you say my wife touched you?”“Eldest Young Master Hill, I’m so sorry.” The man knelt down on the ground.“Go beg Liam instead. See if he can develop a new microchip within a week to help you out.”He twitched his lips into a smile before walking hand-in-hand toward the door with Catherine.At this moment, no one dared to stop them. Even Charlie and Melanie were restless and worried. Just as he was about to reach the door, he suddenly turned around to look at the crowd coldly before finally landing
Old Master Hill let out a long sigh after the others left.Old Madam Hill poured him a glass of water. “Well, at this age, you might as well give up all power. To be honest, none of the younger ones is more capable than Shaun. It isn’t worth losing our title as the most affluent family for this.”“It just infuriates me that the young lad is such a rebel.” He patted his heavy chest. “But he’s ruthless, that’s for sure. No one else in the family can compare to him. Lea has the potential but she’s nothing in comparison to him.”“He has to be ruthless to maintain his position in the country’s most affluent family....Hotel parking lot.Upon entering the car, Catherine could not help stealing glances at the man sitting next to her as she fastened the seat belt.He drove the limited edition sports car today. The cool, high-tech driver’s seat enveloped his sturdy figure. She had to admit that this man was too attractive, especially the way he spoke at the engagement ceremony earlier…
Finally, Shaun pulled back from Catherine’s red lips reluctantly.She could still taste him on her lips. Embarrassed, she lifted her gaze and was surprised to see that the window was halfway open. “I think... I heard a car driving past earlier…”The woman felt like killing herself right this second. Did anyone see them earlier?“Hmm.” The man’s eyes sparkled before he flashed a smile. “There’s nothing wrong about a husband and wife kissing.”She bit her lip. ‘This has nothing to do with being married or not. I’m not that shameless like you,’ she thought to herself.“About just now… Why did you hold my hand?” He stared at her intensely.Embarrassment replaced the confusion on her face a few seconds later.“I don’t know what you mean.” She looked to the side.“I meant when the Hill family supported Director Irvine to break my arm.” He leaned forward to chuckle in her ears. “Did you feel bad for me?”“I didn’t. Stop thinking so highly of yourself.” Frustrated, she changed the top
“But…”“I’ll take care of this. Do you remember how Sheryl died?”“Alright.” Nicola’s eyes flashed with anger. “He can’t blame me for being cruel if he’s being merciless too.”“Okay.”...Morning.Catherine was leaving for work after breakfast. The second she walked out of the door, she noticed Shaun trailing after her. The man was dressed in his beige loungewear and had both hands in his pockets casually. His wheatish skin color reflected the charm of a mature man.The elevator leading to the penthouse was under safety examination today, thus she had to use the public elevator. She glanced helplessly at the handsome face in front of her eyes. This man really looked effortlessly exceptional no matter what he wore.“Why are you still following me? Don’t you have to get changed and get to work?”“I’ll walk you to the car.”Her heart skipped a beat upon hearing his low voice that was overflowing with affection.It was the rush hour to get to work, hence it was busy inside the
“Do you like it?”Shaun smiled softly before tilting his head to one side to observe Catherine’s reaction.“Why did you buy me a car out of the blue? I already have one.” She tried her best to recompose herself from his teasing.“That car is not good enough for my wife. I want you to have the best.” He pressed down on the key fob and the doors spread out wide like wings, revealing the luxurious yet elegant interior.“I like it. Thank you.” She nodded genuinely.She might have rejected the gift in the past.However, she was his wife now, hence she felt it was appropriate.“That’s it?” He raised his eyebrows playfully, evidently unsatisfied. “Nothing else?”That look on his face made her blush instantly. “What more do you want? I’m your wife, so what’s yours is mine.”“That’s right. Even my body belongs to you.” He leaned closer and pressed her against the door. After a long and passionate kiss, he reluctantly pulled away. “Baby, you’re getting prettier with each passing day.”
Catherine shook her head, smiling.She received another wave of compliments again upon arriving at the office.Harvey York, her assistant, came over with a smile. “Chairwoman Jones, you’re looking really good lately with all the good things happening. Everyone in Canberra knows Eldest Young Master Hill spoils you like a little baby. Oh right, this is the invitation to Holt Corporation’s business dinner. This is the invitation from the young lady of Heaven Corporation to their company’s fashion party…”She was speechless looking at the thick stack of invitations.“Shaunarah Corporation is about to launch their microchip, hence every business is trying to build good connections with Eldest Young Master Hill. Being his wife makes you another important person to maintain good ties with.”“You’re right. It was so difficult to get even one such invitation in the past.” She smiled sarcastically. “Indeed, connections mean everything in Canberra.”“It’s mainly because Eldest Young Master
“Catherine, don’t cross the line. This is between me and Freya.” Patrick was angry now. “Don’t think that you can act arrogantly because you’re now Eldest Young Master Hill’s wife.”“So this is how you see Freya’s friends... You’ve never respected her and you certainly don’t deserve her.”Catherine picked up the coffee and left after saying that.“I’ll be staying in Canberra for some time and I’ll not leave until I see Freya.”His furious voice rang behind her but she turned a deaf ear to his words....Back in the office.Shaun suddenly called Catherine. She answered while drinking the coffee.“I heard you went on a coffee date with another man behind my back…”“What?” She spat out the coffee in her mouth, annoyed. “Did you hear this from Elle again?”“Not this time. You’re my wife, and that title makes you almost like a celebrity. Paparazzi are watching you everywhere but I managed to step in before the photos were leaked.” He seemed to be rapping his fingers against the ta
“...He’s crazy.”Catherine was at a loss for words.Did he think he was still a three-year-old kid?!Forget it, she would go home and cook roast pork for him....After getting off work, Catherine went to the supermarket and bought some pork.She turned on the radio while she was driving.A piece of breaking news that just came in was heard on the radio. “We bring you the latest update. The director of Yule Corporation, Joel Yule, was involved in a car accident with a lorry half an hour ago. The driver died at the scene while Joel Yule was sent to the hospital for emergency treatment, but his current condition is unknown. According to some news from the scene, the situation was tragic. It’s likely that tomorrow’s stock market will be heavily affected…”The words that came afterward shot through Catherine’s ears in a blur. She was in shock.Although the time she spent with Joel was short, he was still her only family left.He had gotten into an accident?She turned the car ar
