“You can check my body to see if there are any marks. I’m innocent.” Shaun stretched out his arms and turned around in front of Catherine.Catherine could not bring herself to look at him. She rose to her feet and pushed him away. Then, she walked to the bathroom. “Get in now, you hoodlum.”“Stop crying, my dear. I’ll only behave like a hoodlum in front of you.” Shaun seized the opportunity to pull her into his arms and planted a kiss on her face. After that, he said shamelessly, “I just feel like behaving like a hoodlum in front of you.”“Shaun, I hate this behavior of yours.”Catherine raised her hands and pounded him. She did not feel better. Instead, she felt increasingly aggrieved and wept more bitterly. “You always criticize me without getting your facts right and begin rewarding me afterward. I disallow from meeting Sarah.”“That’s not possible, babe.” A bitter smile flashed across Shaun’s face. “I’m afraid only she’s capable of treating my illness. Do you want me to suffer
“Also, you must not spend time with Sarah alone except when you go for treatment. I know Rodney and Chester are on friendly terms with her, so they’ll often meet each other. If the four of you meet up next time, you can bring me along.”Catherine buried her face in Shaun’s chest with an endearing look.It had been a long while since she behaved meekly in front of him. He became soft-hearted and confused in an instant. “But Rodney and Chester—”“I know they dislike me, but that’s okay. I can bear with it as long as I get to prevent my husband from being snatched away by another woman.”Catherine lifted her head and blinked her charming large eyes. “It’s because you’re too handsome. I love you.” “Babe, I’ll listen to you.” Shaun’s eyes lit up. He lowered his head and kissed her on the lips.He sighed deep down as he was completely dominated by the woman. In this case, how could anything possibly happen between Sarah and him? Anyway, it did not matter as long as she was happy. If s
Old Master Hill furrowed his brows. He had met Sarah before this and disliked her more than Catherine. “Aren’t there any other psychologists in the world? Why must you have her treat your illness? Get someone else.”Old Madam Hill nodded. “Exactly. How could you ask your ex to treat you? Have you ever thought of your wife’s feelings?”Catherine let out a sigh of relief. By the looks of it, Old Master Hill and Old Madam Hill were not fond of Sarah.A bitter smile appeared on Shaun’s face. “Chester said that she’s the most brilliant psychologist in the US. When I asked her to come over previously, I didn’t expect her to be Sarah either.”Old Master Hill remained silent for a moment before he nodded. “Fine, but you have to be mindful of your behavior. Don’t go astray. I hope you won’t follow in your mom’s footsteps.”“I definitely won’t, Grandpa.”Shaun nodded.On his way to the office, he gave Sarah a call to discuss the location for his treatment. “I’ve actually expected this.
“By the way, you were quite close with Neeson Corporation previously, Chairwoman Jones. Since the company’s president was just elected today, do you want to call him to congratulate him?” General Manager Wolfe reminded Catherine.Catherine was stunned. “Who’s that?”“Thomas Neeson, the eldest son of Boris and his ex-wife. Previously, I heard he wasn’t that capable. But surprisingly, Hill Corporation agreed to provide them with the latest microchip as soon as he took over Neeson Corporation.”Catherine’s expression became slightly stiff.It turned out to be Neeson, that b*stard, who took over the role from Charity.It went without saying that Shaun and Sarah had a hand in the decision. No matter how much Catherine and Charity had begged Shaun back then, he simply refused to let Neeson Corporation off the hook. However, now that Sarah had returned, Thomas became the president of the company and the microchip was provided to them.‘Shaun, oh Shaun, you might not have the thought o
Catherine had never missed Joel more than at this moment. She really wished he could gain consciousness so she could at least have a family member to depend on.“Dad, please wake up soon. I’m suffering, and I miss you terribly.”Her teardrops landed on the back of Joel’s hand. She did not notice that his fingers were shaking.Later, she went to check on Boris in another hospital ward.She discovered as she walked inside that the man was struggling to reach the bedpan beneath the bed.“Uncle Boris, allow me to help.” She quickly walked over to lend him a hand. “I’m a friend of Charity’s.”“Thanks.” He received the bedpan looking slightly embarrassed.Several moments later, she emptied the bedpan into the toilet bowl. “Uncle Boris, why are you alone? Where’s Aunty Jennifer and the carer?”“The carer wasn’t free this morning, and Jennifer left home to pack up our belongings. She said she wants to transfer me to another hospital in Melbourne. But she hasn’t shown up after that and
“It’s true.” Freya was choked up. “Uncle Boris said he couldn’t contact Aunty Jennifer since she left home this morning to pack up, so I came to look for her in their house. All their servants had left and I had to climb over the wall to get in. She was lying in a pool of blood on the bathroom floor and had stopped breathing when I found her. The police came over earlier and said she must have fallen over and hit her head on the cabinet. They think she died after losing too much blood.”“How is that possible?” A shudder went down Catherine’s spine. “She looked healthy to me. Did you check the surveillance cameras?”“They’ve been turned off since no one had been living here in the past few days,” she replied through clenched teeth, “But I checked the neighbor’s surveillance cameras. Sarah came over this morning but she left after half an hour.”Catherine was shaking by now. “She’s definitely involved in this. She hates Aunty Jennifer.”“I know, but the pathologist said it has nothin
Catherine felt like knocking Shaun on the head upon seeing how he had completely taken Sarah’s side. Could he not see that the latter was obviously a scheming woman? “It’s fine, Shaunic. It shows that Catherine is kind-hearted as she cares about her friend. I should leave now. I need to go to the funeral parlor tomorrow,” Sarah said with a bitter smile.Catherine was speechless. Jennifer would probably be unable to die in peace if Sarah was the one organizing her funeral. “No, Freya and I will take care of Aunty Jennifer’s funeral.”"Don't cause trouble. What can you do with your big pregnant belly?” Shaun said irritably, “You’re not Jennifer’s daughter, so you can't even retrieve her dead body.”“Catherine, don't worry. I’ll take care of this." Sarah smiled.Catherine clenched her teeth. How could she not be worried?Sarah might even be the cause of Jennifer’s death. A person as vicious as her will definitely make sure Jennifer could not rest in peace.After Sarah left, Cather
Shaun’s handsome face froze.“Are you happy now? Charity’s imprisoned for life and both her parents are dead. Finally, your beloved Sarah and Thomas are the only ones left in the Neeson family.”Catherine glared at him disappointedly and stomped off without looking back....Freya was arguing with the Neeson siblings at the ward when Catherine arrived at the hospital after hurrying over.“Move out of my way, Freya. It’s only right that we retrieve our dad’s dead body. But if you really want to help…” Thomas teased and smiled wryly. “Be my woman and I guarantee that you can arrange my dad’s funeral.”“Have you any conscience? Your dad has just died yet you’re laughing over here.” Freya was enraged. “He wouldn’t have died if it weren’t for you.”“How is that my fault? He would’ve found out or died sooner or later,” he replied, evidently unbothered. “I really don’t understand the point of being sad over that mistress. He certainly deserved that.”“Thomas Neeson, you’re a scumbag.
