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
“I’m not in the mood for shopping. Besides, I really hope you’ll stop siding with Sarah all the time. I don’t care how kind and innocent you think she was in the past but she was gone for a few years. Do you know what has happened to her during these times? Is she still the same person as before?”Catherine flung her hand from Shaun’s and stomped off without looking back.He rubbed his temples gently as a sullen expression appeared on his face.To be honest, he was quite disappointed in Sarah today. It was as if she was a different person. He really would have misunderstood if not for the recording.Right this moment, he tried analyzing his behavior with a cool head. It did seem like he always tended to side with Sarah every time there was a conflict between her and Catherine.Why?Catherine was his wife.He should believe his wife.It seemed like he should keep his distance from Sarah in the future....The following morning.After breakfast, Catherine walked out of the w
Catherine took a deep breath.Well, at the very least, Aunty Jennifer and Uncle Boris would be buried next to each other so they would not be alone.She stepped forward to give her condolences. Sarah, as the family member, joined in to express her gratitude.Both of them lowered their heads to the ground. Sarah whispered in a voice soft enough just for them both to hear. “Do you really think it’s Jennifer’s ashes in there? Hah, I’ve already flushed hers down the toilet. What’s inside that urn belongs to a random dog.”Catherine’s body was visibly shaking at this point.She lifted her head, only to see the sad look on Sarah’s face. It was as if she had not just said something completely evil.How could a person be this treacherous?Catherine knew better than to fall into the trap.However, she could not help but push the other woman to the ground.Sarah hit her head on the coffin and tears came rolling down her cheeks. “Young Madam, did I say something wrong to offend you again
“I thought about that as well. But she didn’t boast about this the last time she came so I don’t think so.” Charity shook her head as a complicated expression took over her face. “She did say she wanted to steal Shaun from you and the position of Mrs. Hill. You should watch out for her.”Catherine was startled. It appeared that her hunch was right. “Really? She doesn’t act that way in front of Shaun and his friends.”“She’s always been this two-faced.” The corners of Charity’s lips twitched. “The three of them spoil her like a princess.”Catherine scoffed. “I know. Oh right, did you know before this that Sarah wasn’t dead? She even became the world-famous psychologist, Nyasia. She’s the one treating Shaun at the moment.”Charity looked genuinely shocked. “I really thought she was dead. Several years ago, she left to study abroad in the United States. She got kidnapped when she went to the forest with her friends. All of her friends were dead and the women had been... raped. But she
