When she came back to her senses, she hurriedly called Mason. “Mason, can you return the 60 billion dollars to me? Don’t worry, I’ve already talked about the Campos family’s incident with my dad. He said he’d stop Shaun—”“Sorry, my dear. I’ve already given the money to Charlie,” Mason said helplessly, “Charlie just transferred the money to Hill Corporation.”“...”Lea’s face was as white as a sheet. She felt as if something was blocking her throat.“It’s okay, dear. You can ask Shaun to give you the money,” Mason said happily, “Thank you for being such a great help to the Campos family. I love you.”If it were back then, Lea would have been touched, but now, her whole body felt cold. “Mason, as far as I know, the Campos family’s business has been doing quite well these few years. Does the account not have 80 billion dollars?”“Well, my parents said no. I suppose they won’t lie to me.”Lea was slightly relieved. The Campos family must have lied to Mason as well. It was impossibl
Charity’s expression darkened upon hearing those words. She was about to stand up, but Catherine pressed her shoulders down.“You’re just going to let this slide?” Charity looked at her.“Don’t be hasty. Let’s finish our bath first.” Catherine shook her head and closed her eyes.20 minutes later, Shelley and three other ladies came out of the washroom wearing bathrobes. Suddenly, they saw Catherine and Charity blocking their path.“Young Madam, what are you trying to do? You can’t possibly want to bully us right?” Shelley put on a panicked look on her face.A tall, skinny woman behind her came forward and said, “Young Madam Hill, there’s no need for you to take your anger out on a woman. Sometimes when men cheat on you, you must reflect on yourself. After all, it takes two to tango.”Charity’s gaze turned icy. “No wonder you guys hang out together. Looks like birds of a feather flock together.”Catherine scoffed. “Shelley, I just want to take back the gold card that’s with you
“Charity, I’m not staying here in the spa anymore. I just remembered I have something urgent to attend to. I’ll be leaving first.”Catherine quickly changed her clothes and sped home.She pushed the door of her manor open. Shaun was sitting on the sofa inside, doing his work.“Cathy, didn’t you say you were going to a spa? You came back early.” Shaun put down his laptop and stood up. “Have you eaten—”“Shaun, let me ask you, did you meet Rebecca when you were still in Melbourne after everything happened?” Catherine interrupted him.“Why are you asking about her?” Shaun’s gaze became grim.“After Jeffery and Sally went to jail, Rebecca suddenly disappeared. Did you have anything to do with it?” Catherine stared at him.Shaun frowned. “That’s right. I did give her a lesson. She...”He suddenly felt a familiar, sharp pain in his head. “What did I do to her? Why can’t I remember?”Catherine’s heart sank. She thought Shaun’s memory had been excellent all along. “Call Hadley and ask
“Get lost, Shaun.”Catherine knew he was trying to fool her. She kicked him angrily and went upstairs in a fury.Shaun pressed his legs together and grimaced before following her upstairs.When she reached upstairs, Catherine prepared to bathe. She opened the closet and discovered lots of men’s clothing and even men’s underwear inside.Her head was in pain from anger. “Shaun, who let you put these here?!”“I’ll definitely need a change of clothes since I’ve moved in here.”Shaun stood behind her and said it like a matter of course.Catherine picked his clothes up, wanting to throw them on the floor. Just then, Shaun said without a care, “You can throw them out. I’ll just ask Hadley to send new clothes over tomorrow.”“...”She could only surrender to his shameless behavior. “Fine, I agree to let you move in. But can you please stay in the room next door?”“No.” Shaun blinked his black eyes. “The reason I moved here is to sleep in the same room as you. Move to the other room?
Shaun did not feel any pain and looked down at her. “Go ahead and bite. Didn’t you tell me about a certain someone who would bite another person because she loved him too much? Bite me as hard as you love me.”“...”Catherine almost gagged. That was so long ago, yet he still remembered it. It was just moments ago when she thought that he had a bad memory.“Why aren’t you biting anymore? Are you afraid of hurting me?” Shaun touched her ears like she was a little kitten, his soft voice magnetic and electric. “It’s okay, I’m not afraid of pain.”Catherine was completely depressed now.If she bit him, it was a sign of affection, but if she did not bite him, then it meant she could not bear to hurt him.There was no way she could win against him.“Go to sleep.” Shaun hugged her and turned off the lights before lying down.He soon fell asleep while taking in her scent.However, Catherine could not sleep.She was getting hungry.She ate a lot during dinner with Charity, but she was
As expected...Catherine was even more sure of the answer in her heart now.However, Shaun’s face became unpleasant. “Idiot! How could you let her escape even after sending her to that remote mountainous area?”Hadley was vexed. “The man said that a van picked her up when he was chasing after her.”“It’s hard to believe that Rebecca Jones still has any accomplices. Go and look into that van,” Shaun ordered coldly.“Yes.” Hadley paused and could not help but ask, “Young Madam, you suddenly asked me to check on Rebecca Jones yesterday. Are you aware of something?”Shaun also stared at Catherine in confusion.“I can’t tell you now.”Catherine looked away. Shaun probably would not believe her if she said that Shelley Langley might be Rebecca Jones. He might even blame her for using unfair methods to deal with Shelley.“Tell me. I don’t like it when you hide things from me.” Shaun pulled on her shoulder domineeringly.Catherine was speechless. “Then why didn’t you think of how I f
Catherine smiled and nodded. “Oh, I know. The name Shaunarah also wasn’t thought of by you, but it was Chester’s idea. You also didn’t mean to call out Sarah’s name in your dream. It was Sarah who messed with you from the other world.”Shaun, “...”As a lawyer, it was the first time he experienced the feeling of being unable to defend himself.After the car arrived at the hospital, Catherine said unceremoniously, “Hurry up and go. I have to go to the company for a meeting.”Shaun originally wanted to shamelessly invite her in to accompany him, but he pursed his lips powerlessly and finally went out of the car without saying a word.Catherine started the car and left.She did not want to become soft-hearted just because Shaun was acting pitiful.Who would sympathize with her when she was sad and suffering, then?The hospital was very crowded in the morning, and she was stuck in the pile-up before she reached the entrance.She glanced out of the window casually and suddenly saw
Were the two of them always sneaking up to meet behind her back?“Cathy, don’t misunderstand.” Shaun pushed Shelley away subconsciously. “She saw my hand bleeding, so—”“Isn’t that what the nurse is here for? What does it have to do with her?” Catherine interrupted him angrily. “Since you can’t bear to leave her so much, why are you still pestering me? Is it fun?”Shaun’s handsome face instantly turned a nasty shade of white. It was unknown whether it was because he had lost too much blood or because he was stabbed by her words.Shelley hurriedly explained, “Young Madam, Eldest Young Master Hill’s words are all true. Look at his hand, it’s still bleeding…”“Shut your mouth.” Catherine snapped at her. “Shelley Langley, I’ve tolerated you for a very long time. Do you think I’m easy to bully?”She suddenly rushed over and seized Shelley’s long hair, slapping her on both cheeks.“Ahhhh! Young Madam, don’t hit me! Eldest Young Master, help me!” Shelley cried out and struggled as she
