Shaun pursed his thin lips before he finally started the car in silence.They arrived at the bar very soon. Thomas, who had been waiting at the door for a long time, immediately walked over, clutching his injured waist. “Eldest Young Master, they are still dancing inside.”Within seconds, the three women staggered out from the pub with their arms around each other’s shoulders. Judging from their flushed cheeks, they must have had a lot of alcohol.“I haven't drunk enough. Let’s keep drinking! I can do three more rounds.” Freya raised her hands high up in the air. “I won’t go home until I’m drunk.”“Let’s have some lobsters and wine.” Charity nodded.Catherine agreed, “We can keep drinking at my villa until dawn.”“Awesome! Men are sh*t! Let them go!”“Sh*t! Goodbye!”Shaun’s face was overcast.Well, well, well, she even called him shit behind his back. He walked over to pull Catherine into his arms. “Come home with me.”He initially wanted her to stay outside for a while fo
“Limits? What are your limits?" Catherine sneered when she saw Thomas standing behind Shaun. "Why did you bring him here? To stand up for him again?”Thomas immediately moaned in pain. "Young Madam Hill, you really should stay away from Charity. She has a purpose for befriending you.""Thomas, I really regret that I didn’t hit you hard enough just now." Charity narrowed her beautiful eyes.Thomas was so frightened that he immediately hid behind Shaun. "Eldest Young Master, look at how arrogant she is to threaten me in front of you.""Charity, it looks like I've been too kind to you." Shaun's face was as cold as ice. "I’m warning you now to stay away from my wife. Otherwise, say goodbye to being the president of Neeson Corporation."Charity's pretty face turned pale as she bit her lips. However, Catherine grabbed her hand and looked at Shaun with her head high. "She doesn't need to befriend me. From now on, I’ll be the one who’ll befriend her. She is the first good friend I’ve made
“Catherine, stop. Let's go home.” Shaun became more flustered the calmer Catherine behaved.However, she remained rooted to the ground. The corners of her lips curled into a mocking smile. "Because of your ex-girlfriend, I can't be friends with Charity. Just marry Shelley if you can’t stop thinking about that woman. I can divorce you.""Are you done? You’re the person I love now." His head was hurting so much. He really did not know what else he could say to convince her."Yes, you love me, but it's definitely not as much as you love Sarah."Catherine sighed bitterly. "If Shelley, who resembles Sarah, can replace me today, then what happens when someone else who resembles her more comes along one day? I’m just someone who can be replaced at any time, and I don't want to continue this kind of relationship anymore. I’m sorry. Maybe I shouldn't say this because of your condition, but I can't stay by your side. Take care of yourself.""No, Cathy, you are unique and no one can replace
If Catherine could not compete with Sarah when she was dead, then what more if she was still alive.…In the hospital.Shaun regained consciousness.His hand was connected to the saline drip through a tube.He blinked his eyes a couple of times. He could hear Rodney’s voice from the other room.“I’ve said from the beginning that Catherine is not a good person. Shaun is already so sick, yet she still sent over the divorce papers. She doesn’t care about him at all.”“Lower your voice. What if he wakes up and hears you?”“Am I wrong? She’s ungrateful for everything he has given her, and she’s still trying to compete with a dead person.”“...”“Eldest Young Master, you’re awake.” Shelley, who was sitting on the side, shrieked when he opened his eyes.The conversation next door paused. Several minutes later, both Rodney and Chester entered the room awkwardly.“Show me the divorce papers.” He extended his hand.Rodney handed it over after some hesitation. Shaun scanned through t
A complicated feeling materialized in Shaun’s heart when he saw the bandage around Aunty Yasmine’s head. “You should rest at home. I’ll get Hadley to hire me a carer…”“It’s fine, Eldest Young Master. Seeing you in this state makes me worry.” She then parted her lips to say something but changed her mind.Thinking that she was afraid, he said softly, “Sorry…”“I’m fine, but Young Madam has misunderstood you,” she said. “You guys got into an intense argument that night, and I didn’t have the chance to explain. Actually, Young Madam didn’t hit Shelley for no reason. She came home to see you and her lying on the same bed. If it were me, I would’ve misunderstood too.”“What?” He looked at the woman with his dark eyes. “Why was Shelley on my bed?”She replied helplessly, “You had a relapse that day. You wouldn’t let go of her hand the second she showed up, even after she brought you up into bed. Eldest Young Master… Did you mistake her for Miss Neeson then?”“I didn’t…” Shaun became f
Catherine suppressed the nauseous feeling until she rushed into the washroom to throw it all up.She had drunk too much the last time that it had upset her stomach lately.After that, she went ahead to read the document in her hand.‘Not related’ appeared in front of her eyes in red, bold words.What the hell? She was utterly shocked.Melanie was not Joel’s daughter. However, he abandoned her mother to marry Nicola in the past because the latter was pregnant.In other words, Nicola had cheated on Joel more than twenty years ago. That man must be Damien.Why else would Melanie resemble Joel?She then put the document away carefully.This was shocking news but now was not the time to make it public.Just as she was thinking about that, Doctor Angelo called her on the phone. “Miss Jones, the place I was staying at last night caught on fire all of a sudden. Fortunately, you reminded me that I might be in danger lately, so I’ve been secretly leaving through the backdoor after I ge
Melanie was in a daze. “Dad, are you planning to…”“I want you to be Canberra’s top elite lady. You will be sought after and envied by everyone.” Damien’s gaze was full of confidence. “That day will come very soon.”Melanie imagined that scene, and her body shuddered in excitement....11 p.m.Catherine returned to the manor after watching a movie.Once she opened the door, she felt that something was not right. The smell of roses in the living room was too strong. There was a pair of men’s shoes at the entrance, and they looked familiar.Her heart skipped a beat.She turned on the lights. Numerous red roses had been arranged into a heart shape in the middle of the living room.Shaun sat on the fabric sofa, wearing a black T-shirt paired with long black pants. He even had his hair cut into choppy bangs, which was currently trending in the entertainment industry. His hair, coupled with his angular features and distinctly outlined face, made him look handsome and clean-cut.Cat
“So you want to bring Shelley over and have two women serve the same husband?” Catherine mocked, “It’s not like it hasn’t happened before among Canberra’s influential upper class where the legal wife and the mistress coexist in the same house.”Shaun stood up immediately after hearing her sarcastic words. His slender figure was like a model’s, but his eyes were bloodshot. “I had Shelley leave already. Aunty Yasmine told me that you hit me that night because I was lying on the bed and holding Shelley’s hand. I’m sorry that I misunderstood you. I’ll apologize to you.“The thing about Sarah Wonderland happened a long time ago. I didn’t know the fireworks event at 9.20 p.m. every Friday was still ongoing. It had always been the theme park’s general manager who managed the event. He said that the fireworks had become a tourist attraction, but I told him to cancel it.“I hadn’t met you yet when I named Shaunarah Corporation. However, I’ll make it so that Hill Corporation Electronics and S
