“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.
“You should eat more walnuts to strengthen your slow-witted brain. But I think it’s too late for you with your condition. I’ve already lost my job and am blacklisted now, so I’m not afraid of you anymore.”Freya was really enraged. She punched and kicked Rodney, messing up his shirt and hair. Even his face was full of teeth marks and fingerprints.The rest of them watched on, stupefied.Rodney, who had never been punched and kicked like this by a woman, spent a lot of effort struggling free from the relentless Freya.“You’re asking for death!”He stomped toward her angrily, looking determined to destroy the woman.Catherine quickly ran forward to hug her friend tightly.“Rodney!”Shaun’s warning voice rang in the room all of a sudden. He positioned himself in front of his wife within seconds.Fortunately, he had rushed to the scene after learning that Rodney was coming to the hospital as well. After all, Catherine and Rodney had never seen eye-to-eye before and it would cause
Thomas should not have held on to those grudges even if he really despised Boris. That man was dead now, after all. Shaun’s handsome face gradually became overcast. He looked at Sarah indifferently. He was not bothered about Thomas as that man was an infamous prick, but he definitely did not expect Sarah to lie to cover up for her brother. He had almost misunderstood the situation. “Shaunic, can I apologize to them on behalf of my brother?” Sarah was flustered but quickly regained her composure, forcing out a smile. “Thomas has always been like this. I’ve told him many times that nothing’s going to happen between us two but he just wouldn’t listen. There’s nothing much I can do about that. Besides, I didn’t participate in the argument from the beginning but I was humiliated in the end.”“Sarah, you don’t have to apologize since you weren’t the one cursing others. It was all Thomas.” Rodney could not resist comforting her. “Moreover, Freya is in the wrong for calling you names too.
Darkness flashed across Sarah’s lowered gaze.In fact, she had not planned on properly burying Jennifer. It was out of her expectation that Shaun would deliberately instruct Rodney to handle this matter. Had he lost trust in her?More importantly, she was shocked that Catherine actually recorded their conversation in secret. It made her feel as though she had shot herself in the foot.Stupid Catherine! She was just as despicable as Charity....In the parking lot.Freya was still grumbling to Catherine in a low voice, “I’ve just realized Rodney has feelings for Sarah. Anyone who ends up with that man is surely unfortunate. That brainless man is being manipulated by that scheming woman. Oh sh*t, do you think he’s kissed Sarah before? The thought of it makes me sick. Damn it! I once kissed him forcefully. Does that mean that I’ve indirectly kissed Sarah too?”“...”Catherine was evidently astonished. “Since when did you forcefully kiss Rodney? Did you not have any other men to ch
