“Enough, Charity. Stop tearing Shaun and his wife apart.”Chester, who stood beside the barbecue grill, finally spoke. He was dressed in casual clothes, and his tall nose exuded a sense of nobility and elegance. However, his eyes reflected a hint of intense hatred. “You’re still as sharp-tongued as ever. How annoying!”His words stabbed Charity in the heart.This man was now much more good-looking, but his hatred toward her was still the same.An icy smile tugged at the corners of her mouth. “I’ve been trying to shun you guys for all these years. As far as I recall, I don’t think I’ve done anything to you guys either. But why are you guys suddenly finding fault with Neeson Corporation? Eldest Young Master Hill, microchips are really important for us. I beg you…”“What does it have to do with me?” Shaun’s figure conveyed indifference.A pale look washed over Charity’s pretty face.Seeing how helpless Charity was reminded Catherine of her old self. “Eldest Young Master Hill, wil
Only the sound of the burning charcoal could be heard amid the silence.A while later, Shaun took his coat and then put his hand around Catherine’s waist. “I don’t feel like eating anymore. It’s boring. Let’s go to my room.”“I feel like going home,” Catherine said all of a sudden.Rodney was very glum. “Shaun, didn’t you promise to go fishing in the sea tomorrow morning? You can ask Hadley to send her home. It’s rare that all of us are free to get together and have fun.”“Suit yourselves.” Catherine broke free from Shaun’s grasp and walked forward.“I’m not joining tomorrow.” Shaun went after Catherine with big strides.Shelley hurriedly took some stuff and went after them as well.Rodney was so annoyed that he kicked the barbecue grill down.…On their way home.Hadley drove Catherine and Shaun, who were seated in the backseats, as well as Shelley, who was seated in the passenger seat.After some time, Shelley cautiously handed a slice of cake to Catherine and Shaun. “Elde
“What’s so hard about providing an example? Could she have hurt your ex-girlfriend or something?” Catherine could not help but tease Shaun.Shaun’s body jerked. He turned around and glowered at Catherine. “Stop overthinking, can you? You just had to pick an argument with me over a woman you don’t even know, huh? What’s the point?” “Am I arguing with you?” Catherine wore a smile despite exuding a strong sense of coldness. “I’m trying to have a reasonable conversation with you, but you’re the one who’s not answering my questions.”“I’m not interested in arguing with you. I’m hungry. I want to eat something.” Shaun walked to the door.“Can you answer my last question? Are the three of you trying to trick and cheat me?” Catherine enunciated her every word while she stared at his back.Shaun looked back again and narrowed his deep-set eyes that were now filled with anger. “How many times do I have to repeat myself? Charity’s words cannot be trusted. Clearly, she’s trying to tear us ap
Shaun and Catherine had just gotten into a relationship not long ago.However, he had already begun to have a dig at her for the sake of his buddies and Shelley.What about one or two years later?Catherine subconsciously touched the side of her face that was no longer as smooth and pretty as before.Would Shaun still love her with all his heart?Catherine suddenly became skeptical about it. She turned around and headed to the study.Shortly afterward, she heard the sound of a car leaving. It was probably Shelley who had left.However, Catherine did not go out of the study. At 11:00 p.m., the door was forcefully pushed open. Shaun walked in with a grim frown. “Catherine, are you done? Look at the time now, and you still haven’t gone to bed yet. You’re unhappy with Shelley, right? She has already left.” “You can go to bed first. I still have something to deal with.” Catherine averted her eyes after glancing at him. She could not accept the fact that he was giving her an att
Catherine asked out of curiosity, “Does Boris’s ex-wife have a child?”“Now that you mentioned the woman’s child, it’s getting on my nerves,” Freya said in frustration. “I attended a social gathering a few days ago where Thomas Neeson showed interest in me, and ever since then, he’s been pestering me. He’s f*cking annoying.”“Thomas Neeson?” Catherine frowned. “This name sounds familiar.”Struck by a thought, Catherine rose to her feet all of a sudden. “I remember it now. When I was in Melbourne, someone called Hugh Jewell wanted to kill me. But luckily, Wesley came to save me. Later, I heard from the police that Thomas from the Neeson family in Canberra took fancy to Hugh’s sister, Lily Jewell. Thomas forced upon her with an underhand tactic and eventually caused Lily to jump off a building. The Jewell family sued Thomas, and he was supposed to serve his sentence. However, Shaun disputed the lawsuit for him and won in the end.”“Damn. I didn’t know it’s that b*stard.”Freya was t
It was because Catherine could not stop her husband.She suddenly found it very funny. “It’s fine, then. Considering that I came to your assistance yesterday, could you tell me whether you know who Shelley Langley is?”“...”“It seems like you do know her.” Catherine held her phone tightly. “Yesterday, were you referring to me when you mentioned they were tricking and cheating someone? I think you took pity on me.”“As long as you’re courageous, you don’t need to care about what others think about you,” Charity replied in a low voice.Catherine smiled bitterly. “Fine, I’m not going to force you. By the way, there’s one more thing. You have a brother called Thomas Neeson, right? Can you please ask him to stop pestering my friend, Freya? Tell him that I won’t let him off the hook if anything happens to her.”“Thomas Neeson…” Charity’s voice was filled with impatience. “Alright, I will. Let me remind you something as well, Miss Jones. You’d better ask Shelley to stay away from Shaun
However, Wesley lowered his head and stared into Catherine’s eyes. His gaze was filled with affection. “It’s been a while since we met.”“Yup. I caught sight of you when I got off from work just now, so I couldn’t help but follow you here,” Wesley responded sadly. “How have you been? I noticed you didn’t look too happy just now…”“No. I was just thinking about something,” Catherine denied categorically.“Right. Now that you’re with the man you love, you should be pleased.” Wesley laughed in a self-deprecating manner. “Sorry, Wesley…” Catherine was overwhelmed with guilt.“But that’s not what I’m here for this time, to say that it doesn’t matter.” A bitter smile spread across Wesley’s face. He took the ice cream from the server and then handed one to her.“S-something came up. Goodbye.” Catherine made an embarrassing excuse as she did not dare to face him. “You don’t even want to sit with me for a moment? Catherine, don’t be so cruel to me.” An imploring look washed over Wesley
“...”Catherine stared at Wesley in a daze.Sarah Wonderland.Of course, she had heard about Canberra’s largest amusement park that offered the most thrilling rides from around the world. One of the castles cost 30 billion dollars to construct.Even so, she had no idea that Shaun had built that amusement park for his ex-girlfriend.A pitiful look washed over Wesley’s face. “And to commemorate her, the name Shaunarah Corporation is a wordplay of their names. Cathay, many people online are jealous of you, but do you know there are many in elite society who are actually mocking you?”“Stop it.” She shook her head, refusing to hear more.“There’s one more thing that you don’t know.”Suddenly, he grabbed her by the arm. “Do you know why Hugh Jewell wanted to kill you?”“...”Her lips quivered.He did not allow her to avoid the question. “Hugh’s family is destroyed because Shaun represented Thomas Neeson for the lawsuit. He did so simply because the man is Sarah’s brother. It didn
