“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
Behind the banana tree, Charity drew the leaves and walked out.She wore a discreet smile. “I didn’t expect Young Master Jewell to be so well-liked by girls. Girls these days are really bold and proactive. I’m old.”Looking at Charity’s pretty face, Chester could not help but smirk. “If you’re considered old, I’m even older.”“For men, the older, the more charming,” Charity said.“Really?” Chester suddenly grabbed hold of her hand and pulled it. “Do you think I’m charming?”Charity made a point to size him up. A moment later, a look of disdain washed over her face. “Not in the slightest.”Chester was exasperated. “Even if I’m not, I won’t allow you to escape my clutches.”As soon as he finished speaking, he leaned forward domineeringly and locked lips with Charity.Ever since she quit the entertainment industry, she hardly wore lipstick. He was not sure of the brand of the lipstick she applied today, but it was soft and smelled good.“Go away. You may kiss your girl…”Charity
A grand wedding was held at the seaside.The two couples exchanged vows, kissed, and promised to be lifelong companions. It was the happiest moment of their lives.When Charity brought the ring to Catherine, Catherine asked in a low voice, “Do you want me to toss the bouquet to you?” “No.”Charity rejected outright.However, Catherine did not force her. After all, she could tell that Charity was not as eager as Freya to have a wedding.Frankly, Catherine found it tiring to prepare for the wedding.“Alright. Although you don’t want it, it doesn’t mean he feels the same.” Catherine darted a playful glance at Chester.He was outstandingly handsome among the groomsmen.Some attendees of the wedding were under the impression that Chester and Charity were a couple, while some others were unsure. There were even a few pretty foreign girls who took the initiative to flirt with Chester, whereas some girls took out their phones to take photos of him. Charity took a glimpse of Chester
Charity was speechless.It was true that Chester could not do it with her.Was that why her good friends could look so calm even after hearing that she had spent a night with Chester?“What gives? Could he have done it with you?” As soon as Freya noticed that Charity was quiet, she asked with interest and curiosity.“You’re overthinking it.”Catherine said with a discreet smile, “Even if there’s something wrong with that part of his, he could’ve done it if he wanted to.”“Wow. Sure enough, you know everything, Cathy.” Freya chuckled. “Charity, you can get Cathy to teach you one day.”However, Catherine still felt a little embarrassed, and her face flushed red. “Shaun used to have a mental block in that aspect too, but he would still make me happy. If Shaun knows that, I believe Chester knows better.” After all, no one could beat Chester when it came to his experience with women.Charity was silent for a while before she said, “It doesn’t matter to me. I’ll let nature take its
“You haven’t answered my question.” Charity asked in annoyance, “Why were you in a hurry to get away from me?” A miserable look washed over Chester’s face. “If I hadn’t done that, I’m afraid I wouldn’t have been able to get hold of myself.”Charity looked down at the lower part of Chester’s body. “Is it because… you can’t control it anymore?”Her directness caused Chester’s face to turn grim. “Charity, do you mean that I have no sexual urges? There were homosexual eunuchs in the past. Although that part of mine can’t function, I can still feel the necessary sensations. When I see your sexy side, I still have the urge to hug and kiss you.”Once Charity understood the situation, she felt slightly more relaxed.After all, she was a woman and was under the impression that she had lost her charm in front of Chester.“Charity, next time, can I…” Chester suddenly bit his tongue and stared at her. “Kiss you?”Charity’s pretty face instantly heated up.When had she stopped him from kis
Charity never knew that the three of them could sleep so soundly. When she sent Cal to sleep sometimes, he would always wake her up several times in the night. Moreover, she would worry that he would kick off his blanket, so she would hardly sleep well.However, with Chester around, she subconsciously felt more relaxed as she did not need to care about everything on her own.Just as the dawn broke the next day, she was woken up by a kiss. “Charity, it’s about time to wake up. You’re going to be a bridesmaid today. You need to wake up early.”While waking her up, Chester kissed her for his own advantage.Charity opened her eyes in a daze. She still felt so sleepy that she did not want to move.“Are you planning to lie in?”As it was rare to see Charity so lazy, Chester secretly laughed. “Let me help you get changed.”By the time he staggered to her wardrobe and took out the bridesmaid’s outfit, Charity had woken up with a startle. “Why are you moving around? You should lie do
Charity was in the bathtub until she felt sleepy. Just as she was about to fall asleep, she heard Chester’s deep, gentle voice. “Charity, wake up…”She opened her eyes to see Chester’s face close up. Charity was exhausted. She woke up groggily, and her brain felt like it was not working. She rubbed her eyes. “How did I fall asleep?”Her hand felt slightly wet, and only then did she realize she was lying in the bathtub naked. Her body’s curves were vaguely visible under the red rose petals. Meanwhile, Chester was standing beside the bathtub with a fresh towel in his hand. That scene suddenly hit Charity like lightning, and the grogginess she was feeling immediately disappeared.She wanted to hide, but there was nowhere to hide in the bathtub. Her face blushed in an instant. “Who allowed you to enter without knocking? Get out.”“I called you, but you didn’t hear me.”Chester lied without flinching. “I came in because I was worried something happened to you. You’ve been in
“I should be the one asking you why you’re in my room,” Chester asked Charity as he raised his beautiful brows and smiled like a sly fox.“...”Charity glared at him. After exchanging glances with him for a few seconds, she carried her son and walked away.When she held the door handle, she felt a force grabbing her from behind.Chester stopped in his tracks and wrapped his hands around her slim waist. “Are you afraid that I’ll eat you up?”“You think you can do that, huh?” Charity turned around and glimpsed at the lower part of his body. “Can you do it now?”Chester’s handsome face stiffened, and a look of dejection washed over it.All of a sudden, Charity felt that she had gone too far by adding insult to injury.For a man, that was his greatest pride.“Since you know I can’t do that, what are you afraid of?” Chester gripped her waist. “Charity, stay here. All other rooms are occupied. If you don’t stay here, you have nowhere else to go.”Charity stomped on his foot. “Did y
“Suspect that the child is yours?” Shaun continued all of a sudden.Chester nodded.The more the child resembled him, the more afraid Chester was.He would rather the child bore a greater resemblance to Charity.Shaun glanced at Chester, who looked uneasy, and could not help but laugh. “As I said, onlookers see most of the game, and that saying is very true. Even Chase could tell that the child is yours at first glance. Do you think a clever person like Charity hasn’t noticed it?”Chester was momentarily stunned, and a thought flashed across his mind. He was a little perplexed, but he dared not give it a thought. “Do you mean…”“Perhaps she has found out about it long ago, but she just hasn’t exposed it.” Shaun said indifferently, “I even suspect my wife knows. Considering how smart she is, how could she not have guessed that Charity had used your sperm to get pregnant?”Chester revealed a strange expression, but he was holding on to some hope. “Maybe she didn’t guess it. They m
Catherine, Freya, and Charity were sitting together and chatting. When Chase went over, Catherine immediately asked protectively, “What’s wrong?” “Your husband is bullying me.” Chase hid behind Catherine and glanced at Shaun, who was walking over with a dark expression. “Move your paw off my wife,” Shaun warned with gritted teeth. If it were not for Catherine’s presence, he would have thrown Chase off the plane. “What are you doing?”Catherine glared at her husband. “Chase and I are friends. We’re besties. What’s with your attitude?”“That’s right.” Chase straightened his back with Catherine’s support. “I simply said you got lucky to be able to be a dad despite being so sc*mmy at first. Cathy even brought a set of twins back to you. I’m so much better than you guys, yet I still don’t have a girlfriend. Did I say something wrong? How unfair is this?”“Is he angry because of that?” Freya asked sarcastically. Chase nodded repeatedly. “Was I wrong?” Catherine threw the bag o
