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
When Catherine went downstairs to get some water, she suddenly recalled the incident of Shaun’s nanny locking him up in the closet when he was young…The cup in her hand dropped to the floor.She rushed upstairs and opened the closet.Shaun’s body was curled up into a ball, and his head was buried in his knees. He was trembling like a frightened puppy.“Shaun, come out.” Catherine tried to pull him out but failed.“So cold… Don’t hit me…” Shaun was covering his ears with all his might.She did not want to feel sorry for him, but her heart failed her and twisted in pain at that moment.“I’m not going to hit you. Don’t sleep inside. Let’s go back to bed. It’ll be okay.” Catherine hugged him and patted the back of his head repeatedly. When his body stopped trembling, she helped him to the bed and covered him with the blanket.However, the man was grabbing her hand tightly. She could not let go at all.Catherine tried to get her hand out a few times but failed. Finally, she had
Seeing the breakfast Shaun prepared for her earlier made her hungry.She drove to a breakfast cafe. She heard from Freya that the food at the cafe here was not bad. However, just as she started eating after ordering her breakfast, Melanie and Charlie walked into the cafe holding hands.The cafe manager followed them both attentively. “Young Master Campos, Ms. Yule, both of you came early. There are still seats available. Where would you like to sit?”Melanie took a look around and set her gaze on Catherine. Her eyes brightened. She pulled Charlie and walked over immediately.“Oh, isn’t this the wife of Eldest Young Master Hill? Why are you eating breakfast here alone? Where is Eldest Young Master Hill who loves you so deeply?” Melanie looked around.Catherine frowned.She was having a good breakfast, but they were being so busy that she was getting annoyed now.The cafe manager panicked. “Young Madam Hill, for the poor hospitality, I—”“It’s okay, Mr. Cameron.” Charlie gave a
“You’re concerned about Shaun?” Charlie grabbed her hand and played with it. “You can’t possibly still care for him right?”“Of course not. There’s only you in my heart now.” Melanie lowered her gaze and smiled. “I’m just curious.”Charlie replied in the affirmative.Not only that, Shaun’s illness had worsened. He even fainted a few days ago and was sent to the hospital in a hurry.That person was truly amazing.After Catherine left, someone in a black car by the road called Shaun immediately.“...Young Madam met Charlie Campos and Melanie Yule. They took her seat away from her.”In front of the full-length window, Shaun plucked a leaf from the windowsill. “It’s time to punish these two people. Give them a grand present. As for that cafe, there’s no reason for it to operate anymore.”...At the cafe.Charlie and Melanie were only halfway through their breakfast.A group of officers from the Health Protection Service seized the restaurant. “Someone reported that they had a st
