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, “
Freya draped her arm around Catherine’s shoulders.The latter did not refuse. After all, it had been a long time since she went to a pub.……9:00 p.m.The two of them walked into the pub together.Catherine had not been in this environment for a long, long time. Being here reminded her of the simple and carefree life before she got married.However, not long after they started drinking, they were approached by a cocky young man dressed in a floral shirt.“Freya, what a coincidence that we meet again.” The man caressed Freya’s face with a sly smile.Freya’s face sank immediately and pushed his hand away. “Thomas Neeson, I’ve stated clearly that I’m not interested in you. Keep your hands off me.”Catherine was shocked that this man was Sarah Neeson’s elder brother.“Don’t say that. You might not be able to keep your hands off me once you've seen how great I’m in bed.” He continued to harass her with an evil smile on his face. “It’s your honor to be my woman.”“Thomas Neeson, I
