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
Aunty Yasmine jumped at the commotion. Shaun smashed everything in the dining room and living room like a madman with blood oozing from his hands.She immediately rang Catherine, but she was not answering.Seeing that the man seemed to be losing more of himself with every passing second, she had no choice but to ring Shelley.She had no idea how to handle the Eldest Young Master’s condition. She remembered the nurse had been taking good care of him recently.……After coming out of KFC.Catherine kept walking along the road absent-mindedly. She even forgot about her car.She had been walking for a long time. By the time she recollected herself, she realized she was at the entrance of Sarah Wonderland.Gorgeous fireworks exploded over the castle. She was looking at it blankly when a couple walked past her.“The fireworks are beautiful.”“Yup. Do you know why it’s displayed at this time every week?”“What’s the time now? Let me see. 8:31 p.m. on a Friday. 831… 8 letters 3 wor
Catherine discovered Shaun was sleeping soundly on the massive bed. However, Shelley was lying right next to him with their hands held tightly together.Shelley sprung up from the bed upon hearing the commotion. An uneasy look flashed across her face when she saw the woman. “Young Madam, please don’t misunderstand…”Catherine immediately rushed forward to slap the other woman across the face. “I’ve noticed something wrong about you since day one. I hired you as a nurse, and the job doesn’t include sleeping with him on our bed.”“I didn’t,” Shelley said helplessly.“You didn’t do that?” Catherine was so furious that she lost control of herself. “I’ve asked you to scramble off yesterday, yet here you are today. Did you really think you’re the lady of this house? Did your parents not teach you manners? Do you know what shame is?”“You’re so loud.”The man suddenly turned around and sat up from the bed, looking exhausted. Coincidentally, Shelley’s pale face was tear-streaked, and the
Devil… Devil…Those hateful words echoed in Shaun’s brain. He immediately flew his hands to cover his ears to stop hearing them.He did not want to hear the woman he loved calling him such names.He knew he was ill, but even Catherine hated him now.Flustered at the situation, Aunty Yasmine stepped up to grab his arms. “Eldest Young Master, you can’t treat Young Madam like this. She didn’t say those words intentionally. It’s only because she’s jealous of seeing you being intimate with Shelley…”However, Shaun was like a madman at this moment. Not only did he not listen to her, but he even shoved Aunty Yasmine forcefully. The latter hit her head on the ground and passed out.Shelley quickly gave him a jab. Finally, he stopped shouting as he lost consciousness.The living room was suddenly in complete silence. The only noises were Catherine’s yelling for help from the cellar below. The corners of Shelley’s lips twitched into a cold smile as her eyes revealed intense hatred.‘Cath
“Eldest Young Master had a relapse after that, and Young Madam said she was going to leave. He shut her down in the cellar and accidentally injured Aunty Yasmine. I called the ambulance in the middle of the night to send Aunty Yasmine to the hospital. Now, I don’t know what else to do,” Shelley said.The handprint on her cheek was still red and swollen. Rodney hit the roof upon hearing that. “Catherine is absolutely sick. I’m going to teach her a lesson…”“Calm down.” Chester grabbed his friend by the arm.“Look at what she’s done to Shaun. She knew he’s mentally unstable, yet she deliberately provoked him. I think she’s trying to make him lose his mind so she can inherit his wealth.”Shelley said weakly, “I unlocked the door to the cellar secretly this morning to let her out. I think… It’s not a good idea to lock someone up like that. What happens if Eldest Young Master has another relapse and hurts someone again?”Chester complimented her, “You did the right thing. Shaun is wron
Oceanic Garden.The neighborhood, consisting of bungalows and villas, was built right next to the Elm River. It was also equipped with a lake, sports center, and other facilities.The salesperson brought Catherine and Freya on a tour the entire afternoon. When they returned to the sales unit, the manager was shocked upon recognizing Catherine, and he immediately informed the boss. The boss quickly called Hadley and the latter passed on the message to Shaun. “Eldest Young Master, Miss Jones is looking to purchase a house.”The man, who was reading work documents in the office, frowned. “What is she trying to prove? It was just a small argument. Does she really not want to come home now?”“...”Hadley did not think it was just a small argument. However, he knew he should console the man instead of further provoking him. “Perhaps… She’s making an investment? Many rich madams are doing the same too.”The tensed features on Shaun’s face relaxed. After a brief consideration, he said, “
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
